Friendly locals and park staff. Bathroom near #1 tee and #18 basket open (only one currently) - it was nice. Course does loop back (but only after 18). Holes #3-#8 are in the woods and are the highlights.

Very soggy. I played Shippensburg (4.4 miles south) and West Pennsboro (15 miles ENE) and did not have problems with moisture at either course. Holes 1 and 2 play right down a walking trail with the tee and basket on opposite sides and with a small wet ditch all along the left hand side (baskets are close to ditch). Hole #3 plays to a basket near a horse area which has a sign warning you to clean up your manure with a horses***-shovel next to it. I could smell manure on my sneakers the entire rest of the round until I cleaned my shoes after 18 (and threw out the rags). There were lots of dog walkers, regular walkers and joggers out - all friendly but I did have to wait numerous times. Had to throw over/near playground equipment on one hole (no kids out). Holes #9 through #18 are wide open - boringly so. Never did find #8's tee so played near where the map said it would be.

Note that on Google Maps, this is called "New Hope DGC". When I left the course I was thinking "1.5" but then I played West Pennsboro and I thought "Well at least this has 18 so you can do field work with targets". So I am bumping to a "2.0". Got off to a bad start as when I was standing at #1's tee, a dog walker came up behind me, looked at me and just started down the path in that direction (the path extended both ways). She dawdled so I waited about 2-3 minutes to even start (and I'm not a patient guy) but I do believe non-disc golfers have the right-of-way. The map and hole lengths here are not terribly accurate. The hole lengths here do not always match the tee signs and in some cases both are wildly wrong. The distance for #7 says 187 feet but it felt like 87; this was true for a few other wooded holes as well. My favorite hole was #4 - wooded and 386 feet long. I could have used about 11 more like that. I also opted to play #14 and #15 after the others (moved the car after #18) as they are kind of disconnected from the rest of the course (but not bad holes). I just found the course to be bland (won't be back).

Recently expanded from 9 to 18 holes.

Still under reconstruction or relocation as tees are missing at #2 and #9. Poor drainage, entire course is flat.

This plays like two distinct 9 hole courses. The front 9 is just a set of ace runs with mostly short holes in the woods. The rest of the course seems kind of random, just stick a tee here and a basket there in this great big field. Props to the designers for the effort in creating what variety they could with baskets placed near the creek, trying to add in some trees at #14, and the painted log tee signs on the woods holes.

I would have liked the woods holes more if they were longer and not so cramped together even if this meant having only 2 or 3 woods holes. I sense that variety was hard to come by here which could explain why #17 is a gimmick Par 2 and there are lots of Ace and Black Ace opportunities here. Maybe a basket could be placed on the big dirt mound that you play around on #9, or a tee could be placed on top of it?

Bonus Feature: You can try putting from tee 1 to basket 18 for the shortest black ace ever. Beware of the guys who count a black ace as two off your lifetime total of aces.
