The Galion Stallion 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 5, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

~24 fun filled holes, great variety and not a dud in the course
~Ample sized concrete tees (shorts & longs)
~Good signage
~Easy to navigate
~Nice open park environment
~Plenty of parking, course loops back to the start

Cons:

~Overall the amenities could use an upgrade
*One porta-john in the parking lot along the entire course
*Additional benches
*No trash cans throughout the course
~The long tees aren't differentiated enough from the shorts to really change the look of most holes, creativity in locations and distances could have been thought out more.

Other Thoughts:

Played a C-Tier tournament here, and had a blast through 2-rounds of 24 holes. The overall layout of this course is wonderful. A pretty good mix of lefty and righty holes, and hole distances are varied as well. The designers did a great job of using the bushes, trees, brush, water and woods to shape the holes. Plenty of O.B. considerations really test your confidence, the wooded section plays great and should become better as it continues to wear in. Only a handful of tee shots require distance drivers, all others can be thrown with fairways and mids. The nice variety allows one to use their entire bag over the course of a round. Fresh concrete tee pads were installed nicely and I liked the baskets overall. Definitely worth checking out for anyone in the area. Great course!

Good course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Brand new baskets
- Short and long tees
- Great use of the available terrain, with some subtle use of elevation
- Nice and colorful tee signs
- Good mix of shots needed, plenty of opportunities for big arms to let loose
- Good overall flow to the course, with a couple of kinks towards the end

Cons:

- No tee pads
- No next tee indicators (either on the tee signs or on the baskets would be ideal)
- THICK rough
- Did I mention the THICK rough?
- Slightly confusing navigating 15->16 and 23->24

Other Thoughts:

Overall a nice course to play. The opening fairways are generously wide, with thick rough should you err.

My favorite hole was the one where the long tee is back by the parking lot and you can bomb a drive and weave it through the groves protecting the basket :D

Open but Wooded 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 19, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Reservoir Ridge is a very good on course on the whole but has a few things that keep it from being top tier course. But it has a whole lot going for it too.

The setting is a beautiful park between two reservoirs. It seems that everything is very well kept. This does have a big impact on how the course plays as there are defined fairways. The majority of the open wholes have thick -- but not too bad -- grass/plants or are tree lined with a bunch of thick schule. I like how this is done to punish going off the fairways which are pretty generous and it had me looking for a couple discs for a while. I also think it's appropriate as the area is a bit of a wildlife sanctuary or something which a sign explains by holes 21-22.

My favorite holes were 12-18 which all in the woods with much tighter fairways and were more technical than the rest of the course which accounts for the shorter lengths. Hole 14 was the one hole that was not in the woods in this stretch but instead is a somewhat daunting downhill shot with the reservoir not far behind the basket with any easy risk of throwing into the water with a little too much power. Hole 7 is another shot with a water risk as a 190'ish shot across a small part of the Amann Reservoir.

The tee signs are top notch. The photos here on the website do perfect justice. There is also a course map and a sign explaining most of the basic rules of disc golf at the beginning of the course. That was something unexpected and they were very well done.

The new Mach X's are also worth mentioning. They're great.

Cons:

The biggest thing holding this course from getting a higher rating from me is the lack of actual teepads. They are currently natural and the fronts are marked with yellow planks that do stick out. But nonetheless they are not concrete and this could be an area of great improvement.

This course gave me a weird feeling -- it's open but wooded. There isn't the most shot shaping here and it has an effect on the course. The fairways, for the most part, don't have any obstacles in them. It's just rather thick on either side.

This course has a grave need for benches. There are a few scattered along the course by the teepads, but there aren't many. Maybe 5 or six. I don't remember seeing any trash cans but I do remember seeing trash.

Other Thoughts:

I do think that this course could be a 4 or 4.25 star course with some benches, trash cans, and when the concrete teepads get installed.
