Just Okay 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 3, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course includes a wide variety of terrains: hilly open areas, steep inclines in the woods, and areas along side a creek. Definitely some fun shots. Beautiful scenery.

Cons:

Extremely thick roughs riddled with thorny plants and poison oak/ivy. Though there are open fields, the thick rough and steep slope shots would be unideal for beginners. The course is in a more rural area and had a slight manure odor throughout- which may not bother some, but may bother others. No scorecards or "visuals" marking which direction the basket is in. Only vague small arrows leading you to the general direction of the next tee.

Other Thoughts:

Variety of inclines and a fairly long course.

I was very excited to play this course, but my experience wasn't as great as I'd hoped for- just average. One thing that struck me as odd was that there were many gnats/horse flies on the course (as mentioned, smelled like there were farm animals close by). I realize that in the woods, there will be bugs, but this was an abnormal amount of flies and gnats compared to other wooded courses I've played at this time of year.

Would like to try this course again in the fall!

Repetitive 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Will appeal to distance throwers.

Cons:

Repetitive.

Other Thoughts:

I'm going to mostly skip the usual pros and cons section, as the course really needs explaining. This course looked to me and my wife like a regular ball golf course that got converted to disc golf, and we came to this decision independent of each other. I don't know if it's true, but that's what it felt like: long bands of open field in between long bands of trees.

Unfortunately, it looked like someone decided that they weren't going to do much tree removal, so a large number of holes are simply throw down the fairway to a basket either by the trees on the opposite side, or by the trees on your side.

Once you get past the first half or so of the course, it does change up a bit--a bit less of the side-to-side throwing, but still a lot of mostly open holes, with obstacles clumped together instead of being spaced out. Finesse holes were in short supply, though there were a few that would count.

None of the holes were terrible individually. The problem was that none of them were particularly fun, either. I may have enjoyed the course more if I enjoyed grip-it-and-rip-it holes more, but... too much "eh" for me, especially the repetitive early set of holes.
