- Plenty of parking, but no pavilion
- The map is very accurate
- Multiple natural tees that are in excellent condition and well marked with colored toe-boards. These multiple tees also provide different angles of approach to the pins.
- Next tee signs located on baskets
- Baskets are in excellent condition and very well marked
- Very nice flow. Hole #1 starts you are the parking lot and hole #9 ends near the parking lot.
- For a wide open course there is still a mix of shots required. Hole #1 & #8 curve right and #7 is uphill, short and has a fenced in hazard to avoid on the left. Hole #6 runs along a steep hill so you will have to decide if you want to ride the hill or come up from the bottom to putt. You will deal with challenging headwinds and tailwinds.
- Good upkeep.
- This may only be a 9 hole course but the holes are long distance and mostly open. Great course to practice your long distance throws!
- Great elevation changes throughout the entire course. No hole is completely flat which really adds a lot to this small course. I felt like I got a good workout after playing two rounds.
- Low traffic by other disc golfers and near zero traffic by anyone else because there are not walking paths. Just beware of cross country practices and track meets that are held directly on the course.
- Trash receptacle at parking lot
- Clean course, no vandalism

- No bathroom unless the gate or school is open
- Multiple parking areas are very close to fairways. This is also a very windy course so it would be easy to have a shanked drive catch the wrong gust of wind and end up damaging a car. Extra consideration should be spent when deciding what path to take to avoid vehicles.
- Benches. Even though this is a 9 hole course, it is still long, hilly, and quite the walk. There are no benches but just one bench set up half way through would be an excellent addition.

- This course is challenging with long distances and large hills. Overall it can be considered very boring if you like the challenge of weaving around trees in a heavily wooded area, but the elevation alone substitutes a bit for the lack of trees and other obstacles. This course seemed harder to me than the course photos let on.
- The scenery is neither a pro or a con. Decent view from the top of a view hills but nothing really of note.
- The most challenging hole is both #6 & #8. #6 is very difficult because it runs along a steep hill and you really have to be careful about rolling away in a direction you really don't want to go. #8 is has the feel of suddenly being in a tight, technical course while the other holes are mostly wide open. #8 is a challenging sharp right turn around a mando but you don't want to overshoot your drive forward because there is a fence that separates you from the highway with a lot of rough in between. To add to #8's difficulty it's on a steep downhill slope.
- My favorite hole was #8 for the challenge and the tree obsticles
- This is not a destination course, however, it is near some very nice courses and this course is worth checking out at least once maybe after you hit one of the primo courses nearby.

-Features constant elevation changes, standing in contrast to the somewhat flat Arboretum / Spiker Park. This makes considering which angle your disc will land much more important than on other courses.

-3 complete sets of tees that do a good job of addressing different skill levels. The reds are reasonable shots for novice players, and the blues offer plenty of chances for big arms to open up.

-The wide open land tends to have a constant breeze, making the wind a factor on every hole.

-Hole 8 is a miniaturized version of hole 17 at Deis Hill, being a narrow, straight shot through some pine trees. From the red it's 100' and can be thrown as a putt. The gap isn't much wider than a basket.

-Brand new baskets and as of now little traffic.

-Only a mile from Arboretum / Spiker Park.

-Most of the holes have no obstacles in play, and are wide open. There are some parking lot O.B's and hole 1 and 8 have some trees in play, otherwise every hole is open. As long as you avoid getting a bad roll down the hills, it's unlikely you'll feel punished for a poorly executed throw.

-The course doesn't offer the best in terms of variety due to the wide open nature of the land.

-The course plays next to a track, some dorms, parking lots and a football / soccer practice field. At the time of writing this the area was empty, but I could see there being days where getting in a round would be tough when teams are out practicing.

This course is a welcome addition to the area, with Arboretum / Spiker park being just down the road, and Massillon and Louisville not too far either.

What Malone DGC lacks in trees and water hazards, it makes up for with frequent, and often drastic elevation changes throughout the course. The lack of trees and the placement of the course on the side of a hill tend to make wind come into play as well. This stands in stark contrast to the wooded Oak Ledges DGC in Massillon, or the relatively flat Arboretum / Spiker Park, making the course feel unique compared to others in the area. The designers appeared to do a good job working with what the land offered them.

Since the course opened there have been numerous minor improvements throughout the course to make the experience more enjoyable. Baskets now feature hole numbers and next tee arrows, the white and blue tees have small painted blocks next to the tees to make them easier to find, the hole have attractive signs to show you the hole layout and length, and the red tees have wooden posts installed with maps displayed on the top. Also certain baskets have orange flags sticking out the top to make them visible on holes where a hill blocks your view of them.

If you're playing Arboretum, I'd suggest coming to this course first and warming up with 9 holes, or more if you're up for it.
