Pros:
The Pittsford DGC is at back of a recreation complex that features a couple of ball fields, restroom facilities, a small lake for swimming , hiking trails and a playground area. The course has these beautiful wooden tee signs showing the hole #, par, distance, map and a sponsor. They're quite nice and I'm impressed that all are intact with no signs of any vandalism. The pads are natural. They were fine for August but how would they be in October? The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow band and numbers. There are two pads for hole, the Long Whites and the Short Reds. The tees are marked like golf tees with colored wooden markers on the ground. There are next tee signs where needed.
The course is mostly technical. You're going to battle the trees on most every hole but I always felt there was a fair route.
I liked # 6 quite a lot. It's 300' from the Longs but downhill. A fun throw, I thought.
But I feel the best was saved for last. I loved # 17. It's 330' downhill anhyser shot to a very cool protected basket location. Just an overall complete hole!
Then I walked up to # 18. 487' down the power lines. Playing by myself, a whole range of emotions swept over me....Awesome....Scary...Intimidation...Excitement! It's scary and intimidating playing by yourself, the fairway seems to shrink. The rough on both sides looks deeper and darker and more foreboding, kind of like when you were a kid walking down a road alone at night, those scary old woods!

Cons:
# 14 is a 345' downhill throw. It's listed as a Par 4. It should be a 3. I bet there's quite a few Eagles on that hole.
Course was boggy in places even in early August.
Although the course plays fairly short, all those trees do tend to jump out and bat down a few discs. Kind of like trying to throw a pass through the Kentucky zone defense.

Other Thoughts:
If this were a course that I were to play often, I think I would always (or whenever possible) play a 19th hole. I would throw from the picnic table near the 9th basket to the practice basket. Par 3.
I could come back here time and time again. Knowing that 17 and 18 are coming up, would always keep me pumped, even after thumping tree after tree.
