When in Marshfield (Rome) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Easy to find and located in a very well taken care of park.
+ Multiple teepads to provide variety and change in difficulty for each skill level. Teepads are concrete, although a little short.
+ A course map is displayed near hole #1 for navigation. Very nice!
+ Baskets appeared to be in good condition.
+ This course has everything you need in a disc golf course, for recreational and beginner players.
+ Extremely well maintained for no cost to the players!
+ Hole signage is sufficient and uniquely cut into wood.
+ The people I met at the course were very friendly and helpful; I was even invited to join a Tuesday night league.

Cons:

- Lack of creative hole design reduces playability and increases boredom.
- No elevation or water.
- No real variation in shot selection. See basket, throw straight at basket.

Other Thoughts:

I'm stuck at Fort McCoy for a little while and have been traveling to courses within a 2 hour drive. It took an hour to get here, but it isn't worth an hour drive. If you live or go to the Marshfield area often, then yes, you should stop in an play this course.

I started getting bored with the course by hole 4. There aren't many holes that require much more than a straight throw. I enjoy playing disc golf, so don't get me wrong, it satisfied that need. The course, however, did not leave me wanting to return for a second go.

If I were to choose a signature hole, it would have to be #12. It's a 345' dogleg left (Pro Teepad). The pin is tucked around and by tall trees and thick shrubbery, preventing any direct routes. The fairway is sprinkled with trees, but provides a 30' gap to throw your teeshot through. A very narrow (almost insignificant creekbed) runs through the fairway in the dogleg landing area. The approach/putt back toward the pin is then guarded by a thin row of trees, with openings to the left and the right. This hole requires accuracy and well placed throws. Good luck!
