Really under rated course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 6, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Quick list: Tee pads, orange DGA catchers, signage from hole to hole, wooden bridges, landscaping, paths, variety of shots.

Hole 1 is championship caliber from the longs. Just wow... So picturesque throwing over the lake (read in an earlier every that was suggested. Kudos to you all for listening) I did so blind and got extremely lucky. I did not see the other pond to the left. I forehanded it left of the large evergreen straight off the tee and got lucky that it faded onto the peninsula (posting pictures). Shot tee on one give you a nice safe option.
Hole 2: is a nice backhand off the tee.
Hole 3: has a little elevation up to a basket 10 feet away from the pond. Kind of a blind shot if you're short like me.
Hole 4: there is two trees right in front of you 25 feet away. Thread that needle.
Cool path to hole 5 with rocks bordering a small pond.
Hole 5: again tight and basket is tucked in to the left. Threw a stable Matrix mid right down the middle and wanted it to fade in, but hit a tree... (also think I lost my yellow BCDGA mini on this hole. If you find it enjoy)
Hole 6: nice uphill elevation change. Backhanded a Truth and watched it glide straight. You can just see the top yellow part of the basket to the left.
Hole 7: takes you back down the hill. HIT the chains for the first time this year.
Hole 8: Throw a Crank low right down the middle. Met a local walking the course looking for deer tracks. Says he doesn't see anyone playing the course. Told me to go to Hickory Run, but I ran out of daylight. Bridge to 9 is a long wooded bridge throw the woods. Just a neat visual to walk though.
Hole 9: give you a line to the left and right. I hit neither. Starts to get ROCKY.
Hole 10: has a nice bench surrounded by rocks. Again lines for backhand and forehand but tighter than 9.
Hole 11: is super tight. Forehand to the basket.
Hole 12: I really didn't know what way to throw. Cannot see the basket. You throw back towards 11. I just got it to the top of the ridge and then when from there. The basket is left of the main gap over the big rock.
Hole 13: again just a super tight hole.
Once more a really cool winding path to 14
Hole 14: backhand and bird.
Hole 15: My downfall... You have to poke one to the right and let it carry in. I hit left and never recovered and was jailed the whole way. 6.....
Hole 16: is just a grip it and grip it down the fairway straight. This was more like the openness I am used to.
Hole 17: basket is to the left towards the road.
Hole 18: has two baskets. Shot that you can see from the tee pad and long which you pass on the way to hole one long box. I played both. Putter at short basket and a World at the long. Both shots are really enjoyable coming down the hill.

Cons:

A little wet in spots, but like I mentioned the local walking the course told me is was all swamp when he was growing up and that they really made the best out of the land.

Not cart friendly after hole 9.
I found to be true at all courses in the area.

Tee signs where not posted. Assuming because it is early spring and they are waiting for Memorial Day?

Highway does run right along much of the course, but I remedied that by playing music. Really did not notice for the rest of the round.

I might be a little OCD,,,, here, but hole 5 and another basket number plate are not facing the tee box. This is something a lot of players look for them throwing to a basket. Especially when there are many baskets in eyesight from one another.

Other Thoughts:

This course is what I see in my head when I think of a disc golf course.

I gave it a 5 because if I lived here in all honesty I would probably play this course every day.

Out of the four courses I played in the area this was my favorite by far. (Francis Dam original and top, and American Legion)

I am form the West side of PA and I truly found this to be a hidden gem.

Really great wooden bridges and paths. I could really tell this was something that they spent a lot of time on and it is much appreciated.
