Wide open so new players can learn. Lots of ace runs if you like that kind of thing. The longer holes are fun to play. Speed golf is good to play here and you can bring your dog for an easy walk. Great course to learn on for beginners

This course is more of a community course. I would not go out of my way to play it. I live pretty close and when I was new, it was fun for me because I got to learn a lot, but the more I played the more I realized I needed more challenges. No tee boxes, just posts and throw from grass. Very short, even the long tees are short for a lot of better players. There is a baseball field to contend with on a couple holes, we have disrupted a couple practices with errant discs.

18 holes with two natural tees. There is some signage, not hard to navigate. Can be played as two loops to the parking lot. Great for beginners and as a practice course. The surrounding mountains with the lake is in the backdrop is pretty. There was a giant crane in the lake while I played to 10's basket.

Natural tees and mud. Not much challenge unless it's windy. Mostly flat. Might be confusing first time playing with many baskets being visible in field from tees.

The front 10 is a just a wide open flat field that I would expect to see people playing soccer or football on. Maybe it's often too muddy for playing fields, so it's disc golf course. Holes 11-17 provide a little elevation and some trees for challenge. I wouldn't go out of your way to play here, but it's great little course for the local community.

Next tee directional signs and hole layout signs have been added since my last visit and I want to clap for the volunteers who did that. At most courses hole layout signs are posted on or near the rearmost tee but here they are on the forward tees without exception. That seems humorous until you realize that here on most every trek from last-basket to next-tee you will come upon the forward tee first. The "Next Tee" directional arrow clipped to basket #1 is comically wrong but after that they are spot on until basket #11. The tees are so widely separated on #13 there is no effective way to point you in a general direction to both. The tees here are marked only by a wooden post. I once heard righties should play from right of the post and lefties from left of the post but the new hole maps say nothing about that and I've not seen it documented anywhere. As a rightie that adds about the only challenge here, otherwise it is mostly grip it and rip it x 18.

- Good practice for driving.

- Always some sort of wind, which can suck, but hey: we all need our practice with that.

- Pretty on the back nine.

- While you should be able to finish the front nine in twenty minutes, it is doubtful you ever will. The pedestrian traffic along with cross country events, park goings on and car traffic will have you waiting time and time again.

- Most of the holes are just plain straight shots. This gets very boring.

- End of Summer and Fall seasons there are tons of stink bugs. I actually had one upset a putt the other day. Now my disc stinks and my putt stank even more.

Do not travel long distances for this course; you will be disappointed. I only go there as much as I do because it's on my way home from work and it really is good for daily practice. If you're looking for a challenge, this is the wrong place.

The park itself seems to be located on a route that leads to a heavily populated neighborhood. This can be good and bad. Good because it allows more people to become curious about our sport and hopefully try it out. Bad because there will be young teens who honk, yell and just raise hell to make you screw up. Nice, right?

Hey baskets are a good thing, no matter where they are!!
This course is great for exposure purposes - offering a not too difficult course into an area where course density is fairly low (until recently). It's an easy walk, with little chance of losing a disc. Also has some good local folks always willing to lend a hand, or offer some instruction. Location is in a nice neighborhood park - always a plus.

Natural tees, and a lack of good signs make the course a little difficult to find the first time - and a little difficult to "discover" for the newbie, just due to lack of information.

This course in Frederick County, MD served as a spring board for other local parks to install their own DG courses. And now there are 2 more that have gone in in the last 3 years within about 10 miles.

Two tee locations per hole.
Beautiful location.
Map/scorecard available online was very useful.
Minimal chance to lose a disc.

No tee pads. Baskets in mediocre condition.
With so may baskets "intertwined", easy to see large numbers on the top of each basket would be very useful.

Most holes on the front nine, and a few on the back nine, are pretty much straight, no obstacle throws, The other holes require some hyzers, or "threading a needle", so to speak.

From the short tees, the average disatnce is about 275'; from the long tees, 325'.

No too far from Heritage and Woodsboro.

Favourite hole: #5, but I'm biased. My opening drive hit the top of the basket!
