Reviewed:
Played on:Apr 7, 2014
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Course still meets or exceeds minimum qualifications to be called a disc golf course.
Good use of available terrain. This is a very challenging course to achieve par.
Not sure that any course could require less walking from pin to tee.
Targets are holding up well, some directional arrows still on the trees, some old signs in plastic can still be read.
Throw line boards are suffering, but all were found.

Cons:
Holes # 1,8, & 9 almost require skidding your drive across very stony, unsmooth pavement. That and tree smacks will wear on your discs.
This reviewer noted a very large amount of feces on the course during visits here in 3 different calendar years, 2014 included.
Fairways never cleared of debris, 4 more years of downed sticks and dead limbs add to that noted by others in 2010.
Thorns encroaching on the fringes more now. Few golfers to trample them?
Hole #1 & 2 encourage landing near yards. Blind #9 is dangerous.

Other Thoughts:
No matter which direction you come from, you will drive near a much better course to get to Luther Hill.
Hole 5 does have a fairway. The hole is not through the woods - its a major dog leg right once you get into the clearing below.
Returning here had me pondering "is this my least favorite course ever?" Though in my bottom 10%, it is not the worst. Those I'd rank lower tend to have more than 1 of the following qualities
1. have limited hours of access, such as on school grounds
2. are easy and very short
3. have no defined tee boxes (not a course)
4. have less than 9 baskets
5. are flat & featureless
Luther Hill has none of those problems, yet still does not merit a passable rating.
As a potential home course, Luther Hill ranks even lower to me. One can make your own pro tees and gorilla course layout to resolve aforementioned deficiencies in most cases. Not here. For a home course, only those with limited access or constant crowds would be less desirable.
