Compromised by Construction and Inattention

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2022 Played the course:once

Cons:

- A run of really ridiculous holes. #2 is a narrow alley between tennis courts and deep woods: #3 has a large new campus sign blocking the green - which is in a marshy, overgrown area; #4 has a parking lot cutting across the fairway - and the school has added shed-style roofs with solar collectors above the parking lot (Compare the pictures from 2009 and 2018)



Other Thoughts:

It is playable, but: a handful of mediocre straight holes mixed with some impossibly bad ones. Might have been a 2 in its prime (e.g., it's got signs and baskets). Now a 1.0 at best because it's been so compromised by campus construction and inattention. It appears that nobody cares they have a disc golf "course" and it might just continue to degrade until the baskets are pulled




COURSE AMENITIES:
Board at the first tee with a map of the layout that's become so moldy you can't read it. Classic fiberglass DGA signs (several missing) and DGA baskets; no tees. Bent basket on 8; looks like it took a beating with a baseball bat


RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS:
Peake is conveniently located in the midst of other skippable 9's (Hyatt, White Marsh, MaryDel, Dover Park). Unless you're just bagging courses, your best mid-DelMarVa Peninsula bet is to stick to the 18's: Tuckahoe, Killens Pond and Henlopen

Construction Completed, Course Still Shoddy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 8, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nothing to speak of

Cons:

-Couldn't find the fourth tee or basket.
-Baskets are in dire need of repair/replacement
-Signage is missing or misplaced

Other Thoughts:

Seems as if construction to the college badly impacted the course. Even though construction was completed, it doesn't appear that anyone cares to put the pieces back together.

Wide open college course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 23, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Some variety in hole difficulty towards the end of the course. Baskets are in good shape. Course maps are available at Kiosk. Little chance of disc loss.

Edit: nearly every positive thing i said about the course us gone.

Cons:

Hole 2 uses the tennis court as OB so if you go OB be prepared to deal with angry tennis players.
No real tee pads, 2 small concrete squares serve as the front of a natural tee.
Not a lot of variety in hole distance, all 9 holes are over 300 feet (which is surprising on a little 9 hole course)

Edit: tee signs are no longer useful. They do not resemble the holes at all.

Navigation without a map is tricky
Trees being planted around basket 3 will soon make that basket unusable, there is also new construction everywhere.

Other Thoughts:

Hole 1 is by the water tower, which is all of the way around the circle, far from basket 5 (the first basket you see when you enter the campus)
Par was easily achieved. Hole 3 used to be a par 4 that is easily deuce-able, but now risks disc loss on new solar structure.
I played tee 6 to basket 4, tee 7 to basket 3, basket 9 to basket 7, and basket 7 to basket 4 to add 4 more holes the first time i played. Years later I played holes 1-4 and did not feel like playing anymore. This is not the same course it was.

Geese-R-Us 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 7, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Signs at tees will indicate distance to basket and show where basket is relative to out-of-bounds, trees, etc.
Stone markers at tees will help orient you which direction to throw.

18-hole technique-course at Tuckahoe is only 15 minutes away.

Cons:

Tee "pads" = grass/dirt/mud.
No directions at basket to next tee,

Since several baskets/tees are near a small pond, so a) the ground is a bit damp, and b) you'll encounter lots of goose poo.

Hole #9 ends a fair distance away from Tee #1.

Other Thoughts:

To find tee #1, follow the circular campus road counter-clockwise. As you near a large radio tower, begin looking for a course map sign and tee #1 near the road on your right. This will be about 100 yds before you reach the tennis courts/100 ft before a red fire hydrant.

Course flows in a relatively clockwise fashion. Hole #5 (only) is across the road used to enter the campus.

Holes range in distance from 258' (#6) to 378' (#1). With the exception of #2 (tennis courts fence on the left, woods on the right), most holes are faily open - some wide open, others with only a few trees to avoid.

Favourite hole: #5. 317', slightly uphill, copse of trees near/guarding the basket.
