"Designers" should've quit after 9... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 30, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Like everyone has said...1 and 18 do offer you the chance to throw your longest drives ever. Great views from up there. Holes 1 thru 8 are challenging and fair.......

Cons:

....but the rest of them were an afterthought. Sticking baskets in the woods doesn't make a disc golf course (check out InDiGo...now that's a well designed woods course) Having to navigate the woods is one thing but adding the"walk displays" makes the back side unplayable...especially with the lack of any attempt of maintaining anything back there. Damaged metal panels on #9 basically took the fairway out of play...the entire back side is like playing goofy golf in a landfill and you keep looking for the windmill and clown foot holes to be around the next bend. No flow-you have to backtrack to a few tee pads. They need to have a work day or 7 and clear out some underbrush....some baskets weren't even visible and not because of the dog legs.....these were right in front of you. Lots of trees near baskets....getting through the fairway woods should not be rewarded by having to get through a dozen more when you're 8 feet from the basket.

Other Thoughts:

I was really amped to play this course...glad it was on my way back to B'ham and didn't go out of my way to play. Should have made 18 the 9th and last hole and added another tee pad to each hole on the playable side and going around twice thus eliminating the crap side and maybe even being open in October!
Didn't get to play the 18th because the kiddies had soccer practice in the middle of the fairway....not suprising tho for the experience out there...won't be back.
