Bold, challenging course offers nice mix of tight and open holes. Beware of bugs! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 15, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Quarry Run disc golf course is an exciting course that is very challenging. I played in the summer when the temperature was nice but the mosquitoes were out in full force, especially deep in the woods. A combination of wooded and open holes will put even the best disc golfer to the test. Its a diverse course with short tight holes as well as expansive ones so you can let it rip. The course winds in and out of the woods and the designers maximized the landscape for some really interesting shots and obstacles. Terrain is a mix of short grass, tall grass, swamps, mountain dirt and large rocks and angular boulders so hiking boots are your best bet. One of the best holes requires the golfer to throw over a small quarry. The 18th hole is a monster at almost 800 feet (par 5 was wishful thinking for this amateur golfer). Anothr hole was 600 feet. Beware of the tall grass and swampy areas - a few of the holes are disc graveyards. While most of it was well-groomed (wildflowers in bloom throughout), the rough was pretty deep and my mates lost 3 discs the other day. All in all, well worth the $5 and a very enjoyable golfing experience (even if I posted an unimpressive score.)

Cons:

Bring bug spray in the summer months. Natural terrain required some bushwacking. A few holes in the woods were forgettable. Some tees are uneven and were in rough shape after some rainy weather. Only one tee per hole left few options for players of varying abilities. Not recommended for beginners.

Other Thoughts:

Food at the All American Steakburger was far from gourmet but hit the spot after a grueling 18 holes. Locals were friendly and I joined a group for 9 holes.

The good the bad and the hungry 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 12, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is open year round, with a honor box during the off season. There is a good mix of open and tight fairways. Which will challenge your accuracy on some holes, but also lets you just rip it on others. There is a nice central island of trees that a few holes converge on. Offering nice cover for hot summer days to cool off and take a break. Picnic tables are also setup at this island as well as a couple of other key holes.

Cons:

Tee boxes need to be worked on. Some have grass/dirt other concrete or astroturf. Some full boxes while others are half boxes. I'd rather have all dirt than the mix match. That is really the only thing holding me back from a 4+ score on this course.

Other Thoughts:

Grab a menu before you go play your round/rounds. If you order at the start of 18(which is the longest hole) it should be done by the time you finish.

All Steak/ Quarry run 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 17, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well developed course with a nice mix of long/short holes. Scenic rock walls throughout and good use is made of the natural granite in the area.

Cons:

Mixed tee boxes between concrete, dirt, and astroturf. Some tee boxes are too small to allow adequate run up for longer holes.

Other Thoughts:

One of my favorite close courses. reasonable rate (4.00 day pass) and nice on site facilities. While the 'All Steak' business is closed during the winter, the course is still open year round to play with an honor box. Tee's are not shoveled or maintained during this time, and can be completely covered with snow or ice.
