This course is wonderful for an intermediate player. There are plenty of nice open holes to really let your arm go but most holes still require some touch to have a good shot at par. Course is well maintained, tee pads are some of the nicest tee's I have ever thrown off. Baskets have course direction hangers to help guide you from current basket to the next tee. Course is well laid out and has a nice variety of wooded, open, hyzer, anhyzer, flat, uphill and downhill throws...

No real water hazards (in the winter there is a marsh, but it is gone by May). Baskets are fine, but the Innova Discatcher isn't my favorite. Course can also get really windy during some evening times, can be challenging.

If you are just learning to play, this course would be great compared to nearby courses as you won't spend nearly as much time searching for your disc in the woods. But even if you are a pro there is still plenty of holes that will push different technical throws. The course is laid out in 2 9 hole configurations (Orange and Blue). The Orange course is more beginner friendly while the Blue course will push your technical ability (better bring all the throws). Great addition to Mason County Disc Golf scene, love all the work the MANY volunteers put in to making this course happen.

This is a beautiful location featuring the unique South Sound Prairie ecosystem. The grasses, wildflowers, garry oak trees, pines, big leaf maples, Johns Creek, and seasonal wetland make for a nice setting to the course. The course has two completely unique 9-hole configurations that can play as a full 18-hole course for tournaments. The course plays in the "orange" configuration on odd dates of the month. It plays in the "blue" configuration on even dates. This is to reduce congestion and ensure there are no disc/player conflicts.

There is exceptional use of the elevation on the property, giving throws both uphill and downhill. There are death putts, elevated baskets, and slanted greens.

The teepads are 5x12 concrete, with a super cool stamp. The grip/traction is supreme. Very impressive.

Having 18 unique holes using 10 baskets, course navigation can be tricky. Each basket has an "orange" and "blue" NEXT TEE arrow at the bottom of them to point you in the right direction along the gravel or mowed paths. There are also other arrows to help guide players. You can use Udisc for layouts.

The tee signs are clear and offer great information, but they are currently laminated paper. The details are there, but permanent signage will improve the course.

Mandos and Drop Zones are clearly marked. Each Drop Zone is either a teepad for the alternate layout or a custom concrete paver with exact distance to the basket.

Details on how to play each hole's OB, Mandos, and Drop Zones is available at www.pud3.org/discgolf. This is helpful because the scoring rules are clearly marked for all to see and review.

There's a putting game with custom pavers on hole 9/18 if you're looking for a little extra practice.

The baskets aren't great. I appreciate that they used economical baskets at a public facility that is designed and maintained by volunteers... but they aren't top quality.

Orange 7 / Blue 4 can get very wet during winter months. Boots required.

The path/trail from Orange 7 to Orange 8 is pretty rough.

The course is only available during DAYLIGHT, NON-BUSINESS HOURS.

This course offers a perfect compliment to the highly-rated, heavily wooded Shelton Springs, just a few miles up the road. It is beginner friendly in that many of the holes are quite open (prairie ecosystem). However, good shot placement is necessary to score well- particularly on the more technical Blue layout.

There's something that's so therapeutic of getting off work, going for a walk in nature and ripping a plastic disc as far as you can!
