Training the next generation of disc golfers

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 22, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Excellent Mach 7 baskets
2 turf tees (green and black) bracketed by wood supports with somewhat different lines
7 fairly heavily wooded holes, mostly with clearly identified fairways. Hole 7 plays 'out' into a field, with Hole 8 playing back 'into' the wood.
Nice variety of hole distances (between 170 and 390 ft)
Easily accessible to Northmont high students or locals (after school hours)
Easily playable in 30 minutes for a quick round after work, etc.

Cons:

No tee signs, needed UDisc to see distances.
Needed UDisc to find next tee/basket (for my first play through) as the course winds back into itself and then takes off into a field where the view of the basket is hidden behind a building.
Land is 'low' so ground will likely often be spongy

Other Thoughts:

I love having courses at schools to get this sport into the minds and hearts of the next generation of disc golfers. This course provides a nice variety of challenge, with both short holes and a couple of bombers. I would argue that the technicality of the course does not make this an ideal 'beginner' course, as I was only able to score -4 my first time through. A couple of fairways could use some 'cleaning' up with several 1-inch diameter trees being removed. My guess is that with play through the years, the major offenders will be sorted out, one way or another. Definitely worth playing if you are local or a course-bagger, but not something I will travel to play again.
