Picturesque Disc Golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 31, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

I got the opportunity to check out this course while attending a local music festival, and I am incredibly glad that I took the opportunity to take the drive over. We were driving through a residential neighborhood when we arrived and we pulled into what appeared to be someone's residence. As there were disc golf baskets on the lawn and an Innova banner hanging on the house I felt comfortable knocking on the side door. Upon walking in you can see that this place doubles as a cross country ski area in the winter, something which becomes very apparent once you get out onto the course.

The course is run by a really pleasant couple that lives in the front of the residence. The clubhouse has discs available. Innova, Vibram and Discraft all were represented as well as other disc golf odds and ends. The prices are really reasonable, but the selection is fairly minimal compared to someplace like Marshall Street.

They have two courses, the north and the south; I only had the opportunity to play the north as I was told it was a longer and more technical course. We crossed the street and walked down beyond the first house where hole 1 was located. As far as beauty goes, this course has it is spades. It is typical Northeast green foliage and rolling elevation changes. The first couple holes played beautiful and were equally as picturesque.

Cons:

As much as I did enjoy playing this course, some of the holes were a bit trying in design. As the course was built on a cross country skiing resort, the fairways used, most likely, were previously established fairways. The reason I find this to be a con is that the lines that needed to be there on some holes were just missing. I'm not sure whether the person who designed the course was fairly new to course design or if the person was a forehand golfer. I'm not sure that I threw more than a few hyzers from the tee. And unfortunately, a lot of the turnover shots were either shaped in an unnatural manner or there was a tree directly In the way of a proper release. My last con regarding the north course would be the repetitive nature of some of the holes in the middle of the course. I felt many times when I stepped up to the tee that I had just played a hole of the same ilk.

Also worth noting was the extremely long walks between some pins.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Osceola and I would most definitely return and play the course again as well as to check out the south course. It was challenging, technical and run by extremely friendly and kind individuals. If you've ever got a chance to stop by and play, you certainly should.
