Meh 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 6, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Mature trees, which are utilized fairly well to create some tight lines. Short course overall makes it somewhat beginner friendly. I didn't have to wait on other disc golfers since this course is off the beaten path. The baskets are old and a tad spit-out prone, but none are missing or damaged.

Cons:

Unfortunately, this list is much longer than the "Pros." First of all, navigation is the worst I've seen; there are no signs anywhere, the course does not flow in any logical manner, uDisc is inaccurate on many holes, the 'teepads' are simply a worn patch of dirt behind a 2x4 buried horizontally in the ground (which, by the way, you can only see if you're practically standing on top of it)...add all that up and you'll find yourself spending more time looking for where to throw from than actually playing.
Speaking of teepads, they're bad. They're extremely uneven and placed on down slopes, up slopes, side slopes, and pretty much anything other than a flat lie.
Course is in a multi-purpose park that's near multiple schools, so it was heavily used by kids completely unaware that they were crossing disc golf fairways (which to be fair, this park doesn't appear to be used for disc golf very often so they probably wouldn't expect to be hit by flying discs).
Course layout is nothing exciting.

Other Thoughts:

While the mature trees are nice, they really need to either trim some lower limbs or move some of the holes. For example, Hole 3 throws over a little valley, with the teepad and basket on opposite ends of the valley and at similar elevations. There's a huge oak almost directly in front of the teepad though, with limbs blocking nearly every conceivable line. Because the hole is short, it's still an easy 3. But the odd layout combined with lack of maintenance means that getting a 2 is more luck than skill. I feel like this is a course where rec and advanced players would shoot relatively similar scores, since a par will be the most common score on nearly every hole.

Not impressed 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 14, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well, there was a course there with baskets. Nice rolling hills and tree coverage. Saw several deer atop the hill across the course.

Cons:

No signage. Started at hole 1, deeper tee (there were two there) then went the wrong way to the closest 4x4 in the ground that I could find. Wound up playing it out of order. Needs major maintenance. Even the 4x4 look as though no one has used the tees. Has obviously gone down hill since previous reviews.

Other Thoughts:

Was doing an I-29 trip, trying to do as many courses as time permitted. Would not go out of the way to go back there. Sorry I went the first time.
