Very unique beginner friendly. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course for a family round of disc golf. Front 18 are very beginner friendly. This is definitely a course to just have fun at. The newly installed back 9 is the real deal. Holes are much longer and more technical. The next tee marker stones really helped out when navigating the first 18. The homemade baskets were pretty awesome too.

Cons:

The first 18 holes play in and around the campground area. An errant throw could possibly hit someone. There are people walking around so be vigilant when throwing. Some may not like the homemade baskets. We were confused where to park and start our round at. Some of the ferns on the last 9 made it hard to find discs but none were lost. Some of the lanes may need trimmed up along with some tree branches. The tee pads were dirt and some had some tree roots sticking out so just watch you footing.

Other Thoughts:

The first 18 holes are definitely designed for family fun when staying at the campground or for more of your beginners. The newer installed back 9 are definitely for your more experienced players. Some of the fairway lanes were really tight on a couple holes but reasonable. I played here after I was in the area to play another course and had a lot of fun with this one. Definitely if you're in the area you should check this out but I would not say that it is one you have to travel long distance's to play.

Best short course I've played 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 15, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great course for beginner. Great use of the trees for such a short course. Each hole has character. Great place to camp and spend the weekend....but not if you are looking to make it a disc golfing vacation as you will be done with a round in 30 minutes.

Cons:

Sooo short. Looks like they have the land to make a real nice course, but I imagine this gets a lot of use by first timers the way it is.

Other Thoughts:

I pulled out my 1983 Innova Eagle for this course and got an ace on hole 8. Also hit the chains on the longest hole #5 and chains on 18 as well. That disc was surely due for an ace. Would be a great course to take a young kid for the first time to play.


Update 2019. Baskets have been updated some and a new 9-hole course with 300-450 foot holes with Innova baskets has been added. Don't miss a chance to play here. It's worth your time. You'll probably have fun. If you enjoy the Tiki course at Thw Blockhouse you'll love the original 18. And the new 9 reminds me of the dark side.
