Nothing to write home about 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 17, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's an excellent place to go if you're trying to work on tighter flight control of your discs.
It has a nice view for visitors to the area.
I would play this course to limber myself up at the beginning of the season.

Cons:

The only Con that sticks out for me are the ticks. Today I picked off 2 or 3 at every hole. They are not only in the rough but also along the fairways.
On a day like today I wouldn't have been comfortable wearing long pants and long sleeves. But doing so would be advised.

Other Thoughts:

The holes along the lake had some pretty surprising wind. The weeds make for a good wind break, but if your disc gets above them it will go on a pretty wild ride.

Good course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 19, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

I like the concrete pads. The baskets are good. Signs are pretty good. The course flows well.

Cons:

It's not my favorite setting due to all the weeds; they get very thick during summer days. The pathways to the holes are very small. It was a little hard for me to find the course at first.

Other Thoughts:

It wasn't my favorite course. Maybe someone else will like it more than I did. If your close I suggest you go, its frisbee golf, I wouldn't suggest traveling long distances for this small 9 hole course.

A new use for an old facility 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Newish baskets.
-Logical flow
-Descriptive signs
-concrete tees

Cons:

-A bit unimaginative layout
-Very tall rough along narrow fairways
-a single set of tees and baskets.

Other Thoughts:

The course is located at what appears to be an old beach area. There are old beachhouse/shower buildings set back from the old beach area that is now overgrown with weeds and grass. The course actually is carved out of the tall grass on the periphery of the waterfront area. The course ducks in and out of medium-to-large trees.

A single set of tees and permanent basket placements limit options for playing the course, or modifying for different types of players. It's not a championship caliber course to be sure, but it fills a need for courses in this part of the state. Unfortunately, the type of player it's geared toward, the recreational player, will likely be frustrated by having to continuously search for errant discs in the tall rough.
