Yeah....Awesome. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 10, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Layout is incredibly fair while at the same time incredibly challenging.
Multiple lines on every tee pad to attack the course.
If you hit the fairway you have a look.
2 layouts to accommodate different levels of players .
Pads are mint.
Seating on every hole.
Baskets in great shape.
Excellent tee signs and next tee directions.
Practice basket to warm up.
Port o potty on site.
Groomed course. Lots of maintenance going on and it shows.
Incredible unique design that mixes New England style tight woods disc golf with long fairways and big par 4 and 5s.
Inviting, awesome community of players feeding and growing the sport on a remote island in the Atlantic Ocean.

Cons:

Nothing critical to say about the course it self.
Could use some trash cans, but I am ok with carry in carry out here. You should be too.
Didn't experience this first hand during my late winter rounds , but the word from the locals is ticks are a problem and you should take great caution regarding these tiny blood sucking bastards.
Very remote location. Accessible only by plane ferry, or private boat. This con can be converted into a positive by planning a weekend visit or overnight stay. If you plan on making a day trip, be sure to plan your ferry rides, transportation to course and anything else you may like while on the island.

Other Thoughts:

This is a destination course that any disc golfer should have on their bucket list.
You will need patience if you plan to play here.
It takes patience and time to get on the island and it takes even more to go from pad to pin on the long par 4s and 5s in this layout.
I would suggest planning a weekend to play the course and experience the island of Nantucket. Arriving during the off season months will make your trip less expensive, and will eliminate the congestion that the summer months bring.
Playing this course during the late fall, winter, or early spring, will eliminate the overpowering rough that lines the fairways of this masterpiece.
I can see this course becoming a disc golf cult classic. The near future will see dozens of players waiting in line to board ferries with bags of plastic on their backs and enormous grins on their faces. Grab your crew. Make a plan. Play this course over one of the 52 weekends you get during a year. No chance you regret it. At all!

Phenomenal course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 26, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Just a beautiful, well-maintained, state forest, artistic, challenging, tree-filled (with some nice alleys), course. So worth the journey to the island. And free. Played w my college buddies and founder Todd Rainwater joined us for a few holes, great guy who has helped build something terrific.

Cons:

No fun water hazards, but there is an ocean .5 mile away with one of the best beaches in the world, Nobadeer Beach!

Other Thoughts:

Keep your eyes on discs, the island brush eats em up.

NDG 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 10, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

great tee boxes both long an short
variety of hole types shortest=208 longest=851
course is very well maintained. Designed by John Houck, It really doesn't get much better than that. Great fairways with strategically placed trees and obstacles makes for fun and challenging play.

Cons:

During the summer missing the fairway can easily cost you a disc. The 5 ft. of scrub oak can make it almost impossible to find discs.
The terrain is pretty flat . With the exception of 2 holes the there is no elevation change what so ever.

Other Thoughts:

If you come play.....You will be satisfied
by the way these pictures don't nearly do the course justice. These were taken right after the course was complete. Since that time the grass has grown in nicely the cleared areas making it quit a green playing field. With out a doubt the nicest course I have played
