Basically Unplayable drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good baskets. Pretty easy to navigate.

Cons:

So overgrown that it's basically unplayable. Wicked brambles and thorns just off the "fairways" on several of the tight holes so thick that an errand shot becomes an adventure. Waist-high grass all over the place, so even shots that go as planned may be unfindable. Anything that you play around a corner or curve needs a spotter.

Other Thoughts:

Was passing through and stopped to play. Such a shame. it's a well laid out course that someone clearly put a lot of time and energy into setting up. the signage is good, as are the baskets and parking. it looks like they just get no municipal support and don't have enough players in the area to maintain it on a volunteer basis. Could be a 4+ if it was maintained.

College Campus Course

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 29, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Challenging fun course for all skill levels. Tees have been upgraded to all turf. Targets have a "Next Tee" arrow below the basket for orientation. Nice tee signs. Good mix of open & tight holes.

Cons:

First tee is in the woods & could be difficult to find. Park in big parking lot across the street from Rampsey Center. Half the targets are hidden from the tee. Tees are small. Grass was dormant but could see potential of high grass in the summer. Played during the Fall. No issue with leaves on fairways but some tees had small amount leaves on them.

Other Thoughts:

Great college campus course in beautiful land area dedicated for disc golf!

Lush course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 13, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course has lot of elevation change that is well-incorporated into the design. The course plays 9 holes back to the parking lot, with the back 9 also looping back to the parking lot. There is also a shelter there with an ample amount of undesignated parking.

Great Discatcher baskets on all 18 holes are easy to locate through the thickness of the greenery. There is a good mix of tight shots and open bombs, as well.

Cons:

The course has a lot of undergrowth during the summer months. I have heard of many instances where an otherwise great throw takes a long time to locate. The photo of hole 2 in the "links/files" section is a good representation of the ground cover in the course. Bring bright-coloured discs or discs that you would not be upset about parting with.

The tee pads are all loose gravel which can be a little bit unstable at times.

I have a strong negative opinion towards hole 2. There is no real defined line to hit and the opening that is presented is too small and too sharp of a dogleg.

Other Thoughts:

Make sure to bring good shoes for this course. You would find it hard to bring a stroller or cart into the course as the terrain is quite rough.

There is no OB on the whole course, nor are there any water holes.

The parking lot can be treacherous to get to if you have a smaller vehicle or a low-clearance vehicle.
