Pros:
1) There is a disc golf course near the shore points other than the zoo.
2) Ran into some pretty cool wild life; saw this awesome fluorescent orange eastern box turtle, huge black snake and a few other critters along the way.
3) I really enjoyed hole 18, the signage from 17 to 18 was poor, but the hole made up for that!

Cons:
1) The park where the DG course resides is abandoned and gated off. We arrived and instantly questioned whether we should even enter as it felt like we were about to trespass.
2) No signage in the park to direct you to the course. We had to explore for about 20 mins before finding a single hole. I will say once you find the course, the signage is alright.
3) The DG course is barely maintained; I don't expect all courses to be groomed clear of poison, thicket, limbs etc. But some holes are grown over, ceilings have collapsed on some tunnel shots and the rough is extremely rough. I don't care about thorns etc, but be forewarned, the fairway on most holes turns immediately into thickets of thorns.
4) I thought people were exaggerating but the green heads were ridiculous. I walked out of there looking like I had the chickenpox. I rushed pretty much every shot because I felt like I was being eaten alive.
4) Another point I thought people were over exaggerating, TICKS! I ended the round with 9 ticks on me!

Other Thoughts:
If you've ever wondered what playing disc golf in a post apocalyptic world would be like, look no further, Ockie Wisting has you covered!
On a serious note, if I were to play this course again I would come back in the winter. The bugs should be a non issue and the foliage/brush should be dead or beat down some.
But to be honest this is a once and done course for me, don't think I care to mark this round let alone play here again.

Fun shots to be had.
Shorter holes.

Cons:
Too many thorns everywhere. If your disc goes off course a little, good luck.
Do not play this course with beginners - go play the course at the zoo.

Other Thoughts:
If you could irradiate most of the thorns it would be a great course but no one has perfect throws ever time, not even pros. So you will be in thorns some time during the game and they are not like anything I have played in on the West Coast.

Not worth it 2+ years drive by

Pros:
Course had okay signage for the most part. DisCatchers were nice.
Cons:
Bugs. Horse flies biting you the entire round. I made it all the way thru 18, but when i got home I pulled 10+ ticks off of me. Most of them were incredibly small, so I'm assuming they were deer ticks.
Other Thoughts:
The conditions of the course we're bad enought that I'd never go back and I'd encourage you not to go either!
