Pros:
Note: This review gives directions to the next tee. If you stand facing the basket of the hole you just finished as if you walked there directly from the teepad and then imagine yourself at the center of a clock face, the next tee will be at the clock position indicated.
Before you start, note the pin position for #9. It'll save you some aggravation later on.
1 - Under the tree (low ceiling). Four pin positions, all along the tree line. Next tee at 10:00
2 - Another low shot. Three pin positions, one close in and the other two beyond the ditch. Next tee at 9:00
3 - Two pin positions, one short and the other tucked up into the schule about 20 yards further. Two possible routes to get there: anhyzer over the field and into the trees, or low shot under the trees. Next tee at 9:00
4 - Two pin positions: one straight ahead and one hard to see a little up the hill on the right. Next tee 12:00
[update 1/14/2011]
xx - extra hole (walk back toward the #4 tee through the woods. Tee is where old #5 was but plays up the hill towards the building. Basket surrounded by a very tight group of guardians.
xx - extra hole - walk back to the beginning of the hill. Hole plays extremely short, straight down the hill to the same basket as #4. FLOAT (no push) a putter or you'll blow right by it.
[end 1/14 update]
5 - Three pin positions: one straight ahead, one in a gully about 20 yards further, and the third atop a hill another 20 yards in. All shoot the same direction. Next tee 6:00, cross the field and up the hill
6 - This hole replaced the old #4, which was pulled due to erosion problems. Two pin positions, both annies near the porta-potties. Next tee 4:00
7 - Shoot straight down the trail, two pin positions (one dead ahead, the other to the right). Big arms can go over the trees to reach the second position. CAUTION: If your disc hyzers you'll be shooting at whoever's on the next tee. Next tee 8:00
8 - Three pin positions - one straight, one a bit to the right, and the other hidden under a tree on the right side. Next tee 4:00
9 - Two tees, four pin positions. No pin is visible from either tee. Stay away from the schule - it's wicked. Have a spotter. Next tee 12:00 across the road.
10 - This hole plays in the same compass direction as #9 (north toward the hills). Off to the left of the fairway you'll see the Iron Maiden, which looks like it might be one of the original baskets that were put in when this course went into the ground. Two pin positions, both behind the big tree. Next tee 7:00
11 - MANDY around the power pole. Three pin positions - one far left, one near left, one dogleg right behind the bushes. Next tee 4:00
12 - Three pin positions: one straight ahead (ace run!), one to the left, and the other to the right beyond the tree. Next hole drives out in the same direction this one does, tee to the left.
xx (extra hole) - Three pin positions: one next to the bush, the other on top of the ridge to the right, one to the right of the ridge. Heavy schule alert! Next tee 4:00
xx (extra hole) - Canyon shot. Four pin positions, all on the opposite rim. The canyon is a catch basin and fills up with water in the wintertime. Next tee 2:00
13 - Three pin positions, two possible routes to get there. Anhyzer over the road or hyzer between the bushes. Pins next to the power pole, under the trees, and up the hill beyond the trees. Next tee 4:00
14 - Three pin positions: short (to the left), medium (far side of the big tree), and idiotic (behind the boulders). Anhyzer or straight and low - watch for golfers playing #10. Next tee 4:00
15 - DOUBLE MANDY between the trees. Two pin positions - in the rocks or behind the trees to the right. Next tee 5:00
16 - Three pin positions: down to the right, straight under the trees, and wa-a-a-a-ay off in the next ZIP code, about 80 yards further than the restrooms and off to the left a bit. Next tee 9:00
xx - There used to be two additional extra holes that circle around in back of the restroom building. If they're still there, they're really overgrown with bushes and other schule. As of 12-6-09 these holes are not there. Oh well.
17 - Two pin positions, lots of shot options. Pins in the center and to the left side of the clearing. Next tee 2:00
18 - DOUBLE MANDY between the trees. Two positions (short and long), both annies.
If you're going to OG and don't want to take the chance that there won't be a guide handy, print this review - it'll probably see you through OK.

Oak Grove- Where It All Began!! 2+ years drive by

Played on:Mar 8, 2009
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Just the history made it cool. I have been wanting to play this course for about 15 yrs. Lots of different shots. I used every disc/ shot in my bag. Challenging, but not to hard for Intermediate/ Beginners. Not many long holes, but accuracy was a definetely necessary.
A must play if yout in the area!!!
A must play if yout in the area!!!
Cons:
Some of the tees are not level and can effect your drives (Hole #1 was like a ramp). The entire course uses Discatchers, which I think are horrible holes compared to Machs. No Tee signage to give hole placements or distances. Course needs some TLC.
Watch Your Discs!!! I had someody pick up my drive and walk off with it (I wasn't watching it since I saw where itlanded/stopped). I don't think they were locals, but I got the feeling this course employs the "Finders, Keepers" attitude since this was not the 1st time I had this happen and have seen it before

Other Thoughts:
A lot of players out there, so it was nice to see the enthusiasm for the sport. Played with some great locals that were encouraging and good guys. Excellent weekly and monthly tourneys
Favorite hole: #6. An elevated tee that throws over a meadow fairway. Tight at the teepad and rewards aggressive play

Pros:
Nice to say you have played this one for the historical significance of the first disc golf course. Course requires a variety of shots with an emphasis on being very accurate. The additional holes give you more playing time while you're there. The locals are very friendly.
Cons:
The course is very dusty. Better bring a towel to wipe your discs off frequently. Can get quite warm in the summer. The layout of the course is quite hard to follow for newbies. First time I played there with friends we spent a good half hour longer just looking for tees and holes. Not much worry about non-disc golfers, but some do wander close to the playing areas. Biggest disappointment is that the course is often crowded and you waste a lot of time waiting around.
