Reviewed: Played on:Jul 11, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Three different tee positions, offering average lengths of ~200', ~285', ~385', permit you to play this course at whatever difficulty level you choose. Glow possibilities for sure!

Cons:

(Primarily) a one-trick pony - a good, basic trick, but still, just one.

Other Thoughts:

The course is set in the wide-open, rolling, grassy space separating the campus from I77. Other than the 5' wide by 100' long hallway leading to basket-8, there is hardly any obstacle to be found. Distance, wind, elevation changes (all types - down, up, x-slope, across valley, up-n-over), and some sloping greens are the challenges to overcome here.

The excellent online map is necessary for a first-time/infrequent visitor, as the flush-to-ground natural tee areas can be difficult to find. Signs along the interstate fence can help you find the tee locations for 2-4, and wooden blocks (or remnants thereof) can assist you in finding others, but even if you can't find them all (6-white eluded me), you can use the map to make a reasonable estimate.

If you like to watch your disc fly unimpeded toward the basket on ace runs, or leading to birdy opps, you should enjoy this course. Shot-shaping/obstacle avoidance? Not so much.
