Inexcusable, but fun and challenging 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 23, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Hole one is close to parking lot
-Interesting/fun/challenging shots with punishment for poor execution
-Nice baskets
-Elevation was used well
-Somewhat of a challenge for experienced players
-Doesn't seem to get played often as the tees showed little evidence of play.

Cons:

-The layout IMO is just awful, there are so many shared/crossing fairways. (4 and 5) (6 and 2) granted the holes are fun to play, but if there is any sort of traffic out here it makes the course dangerous for players and the joggers/walkers on the blind shot on hole 3.
-Tee signs are broken
-Hole 6 has a ladder that is placed in the ravine to get down, but be careful because its shaky and a bit dangerous.
-Tees are a mixture of mud and limestone
-hole 8 is right next to a parking lot (somewhat protected by a fence)
-navigation is tough for first timers so get a guide

Other Thoughts:

This course IMO would be an easy 3 if you left the holes the way they were and somehow got rid of the crossing fairways. I completely understand the argument for a higher rating based solely on the quality of shots. I am a big proponent of safety for players as well as safety for other people/cars/activities on a disc golf course. If this course was on private land and wasn't open to the public I wouldn't have a problem with it, but IMO the layout is pretty inexcusable. Even though I rated it a 1.5 I would definitely play it again if I had time and was in the area.
