Tee pad,holes accurately tell par for the distance of the hole. Open,flat course.Hole 9 is wooded but all other holes are open field. Tees are concrete. The course is good for good players that throw straight shots. One hole is a par 5 and goes all the way through a soccer field.

Hole 9 "the wooded hole" is hard to figure where to tee off from because it is a small gap.On hole has a track and field run that blocks the hole and you might get your disc get into the field.

Great setting, well maintained, quick to play, easy to navigate, nice baskets, informative signs, plenty of parking

Lack of diversity, only one wooded hole, only 9 holes

Beautiful, very well maintained course. Great use of the space they had available. Another 9 holes would greatly improve this course. A few of the holes are just straight shots at the basket in the open, kinda typical.

Erie finally has a disc golf course!! The course has a pretty good lay out and flow and targets are very well placed. The tee signs are good quality ones and will probably have info on them soon. The grass is short and well maintained so you won't have a hard time finding your disc unless you throw into the woods. There aren't any really short holes so its a good challenge for anyone. The course also gives good exposure to the public which will hopefully gain more interest for the sport.

Some of the holes are played along and across a walking path so you just have to watch out for people. Its only a 9 hole course and its almost all completely open.

Hole 1 is a par 3 and is a straight shot with trees on either side of the fairway.
Hole 2 is a par 3 and plays across the walking path with a few trees in play.
Hole 3 is a par 3 and also plays across the walking path and is a down hill shot with a few trees to the right of the target. Follow the path through the woods to get to the 4th.
Hole 4 is a par 3 and plays along the walking path and has a couple light poles in play and a few trees around the target.
Hole 5 is a par 4 and plays through a practice soccer field.
Hole 6 is a par 4 and is a dogleg left and is completely open. There is a drinking fountain at the tee.
Hole 7 is a par 3 and is a straight shot and completely open.
Hole 8 is a par 4 and plays along the running track on the left and a drop off on the right.
Hole 9 is a par 3 and is the only wooded hole. The tee sign is in a weird place and I'm not sure exactly where they intended for you to tee off from.
The targets are temporary DGA ones but they are brand new. I changed it to a permanent course since they put up permanent signs and it now shows up on the list of courses.

When I first heard that a course was going in, the first in Erie where I grew up, I was intrigued.
This course currently has temporary DGA baskets and no marked tee pads. My brother and I used the map in the files section and guesstimated where pads might go.
That being said, this course has some well thought out and laid out holes. It is no pitch and putt. You wind you way back though the college courses athletic fields and most of the holes utilized already cleared and maintained space extremely well. Some of these could truly be par 4s.
There is a fairly diverse amount of different shots, although only one hole truly required a forehand/anhyzer drive.
There were some short holes but nothing that was just a jump putt. There were also some longer holes with room for flex shots.
Only one hole truly was in the woods. I am truly excited about where this course could be headed.

The major con, and it's a big one, is that the course is constantly interacting with and occasionally following a walking path that gets moderate use. There are a couple of blind shots toward shots towards this path that will get extremely dangerous for pedestrians when the course begins to get more use. I am also concerned that while athletic teams are using the field, disc golfers will be unable to play, meaning only after school gets out. I hope the designers and managers of the course can find a way to preserve the length and beauty of the course while better avoiding team/pedestrian traffic.
The other current big con is that the baskets are temporary and there are no signs or teepads. I didn't mark off too much for this though since the course is just getting off the ground. If pads/signs aren't added soon, I would move my rating to a 2 or below.
The course is currently 9 holes, but I appreciate that they created 9 challenging holes rather than cramming 18 into the same space. I was told if the course is popular, they may add 9 more...

My rating may be too high because I am trying to mix an evaluation of potential with the actual course. I also am just super excited that this city finally has a course.
I will play this course again this week while I am visiting my parents and will continue to when I make it back to town.
I appreciate the start that PSU Behrend athletic department has gotten, and hope they continue to put resources into this course to make it a 3 or 3.5 level course.
UPDATE: I hear that signs are up!
