Certainly decent, nice stop on way to/from beaches 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 9, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to get to, on a college campus with many folks around, open course for the most part, decently maintained, responsive staffer online, creative and efficient routing through scraps of available real estate.

Cons:

Definitely an afterthought for the campus, but if I were a student, I'd enjoy the easy availability. It's not dramatic, probably indeed boring for skilled players. I had some difficulty finding some of the tees, despite an online map.

Other Thoughts:

A course to kill time, yes. Nothing special. As another reviewer suggested, consider playing Peake and Tuckahoe the same day.

Peake-a-boo 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 12, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 holes with decent tee signs and baskets. Natural tees with two blocks in the ground to orient the direction of the hole. Navigation is fairly easy, just take a quick look at the course map by hole 1 near the watertower. Mostly open with some obstacles included trees, pond, tennis court, baseball field, road, and a little elevation and wind.

Cons:

Hole 2 with the tennis courts is a bit concerning. The rough on the right is very rough on this hole with lots of poison ivy and the fairway is narrow between the courts. The basket is tucked in a cut out of the rough and there is poison ivy not too far from the basket. It's certainly the most challenging hole on the course, but not really a good hole because of the situation.

Hole 3 plays a bit close the parking lot. Hole 8 plays a bit close the baseball field. After finishing hole 9 you do have to walk back a bit to your vehicle.

Other Thoughts:

If I went to college or lived near here, I'd play it often especially since it's probably the best course in the area outside a 1 hr drive somewhere. This is not a course to go out of your way to play, although its really easy to get to and right off route 50 along the way to the beach. If you have an itching for a decent par 3 to play, this is ok although there are better options like Trap Pond closer to the beach. To get to hole 1 just make your way toward the watertower and you will see the course map when you park on the road between the maintenance shop and tennis courts.

College Course Is Big and Open... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 16, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's an open air course for the most part has that big arm fun element to it...all holes are over 300 feet and 7 of them can be played by utilizing plenty of space to let your disc move around in the air. There is some mild elevation drops on hole 7 and 9 which allows your disc more room to work as well. A pond serves as a backdrop for holes 2 and 7 and provides a pleasant distraction but should not eat discs unless you really overthrow or griplock! Wind comes into play here due to overall flat open topography. The course is very well maintained as it is on college grounds but does not really meander too close to student areas. I think hole #1 is one of the better open air holes I have played...(if a hole is open I believe a premium should be placed on placement and this hole has that) shooting over a wide open field 378 feet..theres a small wire that bisects the open air that provides some thought...then its perched behind some low pretty trees trees with a steep slope crashing fast behind the basket. Just a truly fun hole that will make you think a bit more than the usual big arm hole. Good tee signs and navigation is pretty straightforward. Most holes despite being open have tricky approaches to keep the round interesting. 8 is a good test of uphill power.

Cons:

Grass tees might irk some. Hole 2 while very technical is a bit risky as you are actually above some tennis courts with a tight lane between the tennis court fence the woods to aim for...any ambitious throw will likely end up in this area posing a nasty OOB and endangering tennis players(which there were many)...your better up just putting 3-4 times in a row on this one which isnt that much fun. I'd rather see the pad down the hill so you still have the fence obstacle but won't be tempted to play over the tennis area. My .02... Also hole 3 tee was hard to find (close to Lot which poses a problem as overflow parking often cuts into fairway. The shot from the lot sucks anyway..I'd move it closer to the pond or maybe throw over it..that would provide some wow! Hole 5 is across the entrance road and was a bit tough to find..watch out for the cornfield left and road right. These are minor complaints the stress free open fun more than counters these gripes!

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course for students and locals....I would play it often if I lived in the area. It's better than nearby 18 hole Tuckahoe IMO. If you need to practice your wind game or learn new discs this is the place to do it. Pars here are beginner pars. I would say the course is a par 27 but that doesn't mean it is not fun or enjoyable. On way in notice basket for hole 5 to your right then drive all the way around the access road to the field just prior to the tennis courts is hole 1.
