Ohio County DGC is a decent 18 hole course that plays through a mostly disc golf exclusive area of the park. The course is about two thirds wooded with the rest open to mostly open. There's not much for elevation out here. The last three holes are out in an open area and feature very slight elevation change but the wooded holes are almost all pretty much flat.

There's concrete tees on each hole These are decent sized and and have good grip to them. One tee pad per hole.

There's decent tee signs out here. These things are kind of strange looking. It looks like they're hand painted. Not sure if they actually are but it kind of looked like it. They feature a basic hole map, hole #, par and distance. They also have next tee arrows on the map portion. They get the job done though.

The baskets are older Chainstars. These things look like they were pulled out of the bottom of a swamp but they all catch well enough. One basket and pin placement per hole.

The wooded holes are generally all on the shorter side with most of the open holes adding some length. You'll want to get your twos on some of the woods holes, especially if the wind is up.

The layout is easy to follow. There's not much for walks between holes. I didn't need to use the map a single time with the signage and the large arrows hanging on the bottoms of the cages pointing toward the next tee. Surprisingly all of these arrows were intact AND facing the right direction.

A small creek comes into play in the woods but it doesn't appear to ever be a risk of losing a disc into. There's also a small marshy looking area in front of 18's basket. I didn't get real close to it but it also doesn't look like a real danger of disc loss.

The course is free to play and probably isn't ever overly busy.

The tee pads are in rough shape, especially towards the latter half of the course. There were a number of them that were cracked in numerous spots. This is unfortunate since many of the ones on the longer holes were the ones that were broken, limiting your ability to have a full run up.

The signs are pretty old and in rough shape. Very dirty and not at all easy to read from a distance. The distances, especially early are not accurate whatsoever. Hole 1 was listed as 235' and I doubt if it was much over 150'. There were quite a few others where I'm not sure how they came up with the distance. The ones on the back half seemed more accurate at least.

The course appears to get, and stay, pretty muddy on the wooded portion after any rain. Very sloppy in spots.

The grass on the open holes was manageable, barely, today. If this section isn't mowed frequently these holes will be unplayable without spending an excessive amount of time searching for discs.

This was a solid course. I was going to give it a 2.5 initially but after mulling it over and seeing the number of cons I came up with I decided to go with a 2. The actual play is closer to 3 imo but with the deteriorating infrastructure and sketchy upkeep I just can't go higher than I did. It's only a couple minutes off the expressway if you're passing through and is worth a play if everything is mowed and dry.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Multi-use park in a rural county area in between a couple hotbeds for disc golf (Owensboro, Madisonville, and Bowling Green). Expect both an underappreciated and an under maintained course that should score well above its rating if more effort was put into it.

AMENITIES: Degrading Infrastructure, no water available, no benches, no trash cans, and only one bathroom that I saw in the park.

TEES/SIGNAGE/BASKETS (PROS): Tees are large and concrete, Tee signs are helpful in locating baskets on the wooded holes as almost all the baskets in the woods are blind shots, Baskets are yellow discatchers in well loved shape. They still catch well enough and the faded yellow bands at least help them stand out in the woods.

DESIGN: Front 9 is pretty heavily wooded with some very forced shot shapes, doglegs, and difficult angles. Recreational and Intermediate players will be challenged to shoot well here but there are plenty of birdies to be had (if playing course par). Advanced players and above should shred this course. Not exactly beginner friendly due to hole lengths and the multitude of shot shapes required. Mostly wooded throughout until the very last few holes where you get to play in a more open space but with increased changes in elevation. Hole variety is top notch from tight wooded technical tunnels, left bending, right bending, holes that require a late flip, tricky greens, early and late gap holes, and several more open distance line holes. There is a bit of everything for everyone here.

EXTRAS: The Fort (recreation of the original fort on the property) is a pretty cool little feature and just off the course property itself. Neat place to visit, and there is an enclosed building nearby that has bathrooms, a kitchen, and other amenities that can be rented. There is a winding creek throughout most of the front 9 that will add to the aesthetics of the course, though the back 9 open holes are pretty bland.

COURSE UPKEEP: Probably the biggest knock against this course and the reason it scores so low currently. I've played this course multiple times, and even a tournament here, where the maintenance was sub-par. The wooded front 9 has clearly defined fairways but the rough off to either side is extremely thick, thorny, and unforgiving. The fairways themselves could benefit from some weed eater work. The back 9 and more open holes are in desperate need of mowing. I have visited several different times and each time the back 9 is mid shin deep grass or worse each time, regardless of time of the year.

TEES/SIGNAGE/BASKETS (CONS): Tee pads are in old shape and unlevel in spots, cracking or broken in others, or covered in mud and overgrowth. Signage shows its age and while accurate, is pretty basic and some of the sign posts are laying on the ground next to the tee. Baskets are aging and several of them have severely rusted chains.

EROSION: Course has multiple low spots throughout that are being affected by erosion and make walking through it an adventure to make sure you don't twist an ankle.

ABANDONDED: Course feels abandoned while multiple other parts of the park appear upkeep daily.

This course has many very solid holes and with the right kind of attention and upkeep it could rate very well and be a fun experience for multiple skill levels. I'm not sure if this course suffers from being close to much better courses, not being super beginner friendly, or from lack of park funds being used on the course. I do know that multiple members in the Owensboro disc golf club volunteer their time when they can to do what little maintenance this course sees and keep it playable. Hoping to see this revitalized as they are also working on bringing Holler in the Hills back to its former glory as well.

This course has a nice mix of open and wooded/technical holes. It is nice for a course to have some holes that allow you to reach back and try to throw. My favorite hole on the course is a 600' hole in the open guarded by some relatively short trees near the hole.

The maintenance of this course was not good. The tree holes on the day I played it had apparently not been mowed in several weeks and the grass was thick and very high. The open holes also had not been mowed in at least a couple weeks. Most of the tree holes were blind shots to Discatcher baskets which were difficult to see anyway while hidden in the woods. The signs were not particularly helpful other than showing whether the basket was right or left. I did not see any snakes but because of the maintenance situation it concerned me. A couple of the "open" holes required long anyhyzer shots with narrow landing areas that were very close to the out of bounds. On one such hole I threw a good shot and was almost at the blind out of bounds on the right side. Better maintenance might result in a slightly higher rating for this course.

To be fair, I only played this course one time. I usually do not review a course after only one time, but I will not be returning to this course. If you have any other options I recommend that you take them or that you drive to Bowling Green or other courses in the area.
