a tale of 2 courses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 3, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

LOTS of improvements since I played here in May! Pathways, bridges and signage! Nearby FEW and Hickory Run could take a lesson in navigation from Linesville. A number of finished tees. Quite an achievement in such a short time. 9 of the holes and the practice hole have excellent orange mach 5 baskets. They smartly start you off on 3 friendly holes before introducing you to the true nature of this highly technical course. A number of the holes are well thought out and fun, as well as challenging. Played this with my brother and 2 friends this time around. We all have somewhat different throwing styles, but all manged to enjoy much of the course. Strongly favors RHBH, but lefties (me) can still get around.

Covered pavilion and trash cans near the 1st tee. Close to I80 and the PA Pike.

Cons:

Drainage is something of an issue, but they seem to making progress with wooden walkways. 9 holes use the awful innova baskets.

Two short holes (numbers 7 and 17, I think) are pretty much the exact same hole. Alternate pin on one would be a good idea.

Hole 8 has the beginnings of a fairway, but once out 120 ft or so, it just turns into a luck shot. In fact holes 8 and 10, along with a couple of back 9 holes, seem to just be a randomly placed tee and basket. Surprising, considering some of the other well designed holes. 10 is particularly bad; the fairway, what there is of it, slopes sharply to the previous hole. Not safe. Hole 9 needs a bit more definition and the basket it placed in a jumble of rocks and boulders. It looks neat, but will be a nightmare when covered and or slippery.

Practice basket has to be moved, it is in play on number 3 and the long tee for hole 1. Do not know what they were thinking here.

Other Thoughts:

The tireless work done here is admirable. This course, though not yet ready for organized play, will be an excellent addition to the nearby venues. The concerns mentioned need to be addressed but are not intended harshly. They have done amazing work so far. I will surely be back.

I80 DG List is Growing 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 14, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course will only get better with time. Got a chance to meet with one of the course designers while I was there. These guys are determined to build a diverse course and it's great to see a local city municipality support the sport's growth. You have to see the 2 orange coded Mach5 targets they just installed on the other side of the pond. They look awesome.

Cons:

Tees aren't complete but expect them to be refined as time elapses. This course is in it's infancy stage. Next season it should be good to go. Heavily wooded in areas and tough guards off some tees, requires some advanced skill throwing straight. Very close to a highway, but not hard to forget about the noise when playing past hole #2. Course needs to get worn, go play it! Help the cause. Designers are aware they need better signage but just haven't got to it yet. Bring a map.

Other Thoughts:

It's great to see yet another course built so close to I-80 in the Poconos. Can now get away for an entire weekend and stay occupied playing DG the entire time. Grip'n Rip!
