Fun little putter course

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 28, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Full disclosure: I love putter courses. Love 'em. So for me, this course packed an inordinate amount of enjoyment into 722 feet of disc golf. Just don't show up expecting an epic beat-down, or thinking you will need a bag full of high-speed drivers to play this course. You will not.

That said, this course offers a surprising amount of variety despite holes averaging 80 feet long. Right and left turns. Uphill, downhill, and side-hill holes. Protected baskets and rollaway greens. Subtle lines where a right-turning shot might work better as a righty backhand turnover instead of a sidearm. At least one hole that can be jump-putted, although with the downhill slope you may be jump-putting back uphill if you don't draw metal.

Orange Prodigy baskets were mounted level and easy to spot in the woods. Tees are marked with low orange posts listing the hole number. Easy navigation from basket to tee. Low risk of disc loss during the winter, but disc risk might be higher in other seasons.

Practice basket near the clubhouse, which sells discs, drinks, and excellent BBQ sandwiches. Clubhouse had disc golf videos playing at the bar when I visited. Three other courses of varying difficulty on the site of a former ball golf course.

Cons:

This is a short, 9-hole course where hole distances average 80 feet. Slopes could be slick in wet weather. Natural tee pads, which are adequate for such a short course.

Other Thoughts:

Located within a gated community, you will need to call ahead to make arrangements. Pay $10 at the clubhouse to play all four courses on site. Course is located behind the back deck of the clubhouse.
