Pros:
This is a shot maker course as the front works mainly without trees but with vegetation and water looming. This is counterpointed by a back nine that loops through the woods on a peninsula of the lake. The wind off the lake varies your play on the front nine. If the weeds and vegetation were OB it would wreck your score as it's usually mowed fairly narrowly. This disc course is never crowded. I can go, swear, and throw extra discs to work on my game, as it doesn't impede other players. Basket placement is challenging at the water and wood's edge. Some upkeep needs to be done as the back gets more crowded with further tree maturity.
Maintained. There is plenty of parking as there is a beach, playground and picnic awning that are used sparingly.
Cons:
The non-water holes on the front are average. The back is challenging to the point of being tight/choked by trees in some places. I would suggest staying clear of the front when the rough fills in. Briars and all manner of thorny vegetation sucks the fun out of playing from mid May through to the bush hogging sometime in September. The front side pines and other sparse maturing trees are beginning to come into play to throw around. Par was adjusted so #2 & #9 are now PAR 4 and I could only find par by looking at DGCR! The bulletin board is currently empty and course navigation help is fair as only the hole number is listed at each tee pad with an occasional "next tee" sign to point the way.
Other Thoughts:
Tee pads are raised concrete on the front and boxed in gravel on the back. It could use flush to the ground tee pads, but they're better than some courses.
I've gone with 8, paired up for match play and had a ball there with kids and grownups. My game has improved since I first entered this review but #15 still should be a par 4. The location is a bit remote but not too far off US 50 to try.The very nice Pike Lake State Park course is 30 minutes east of this one in Bainbridge. Paint Creek is in great shape after opening about 2011. These 3 all together make for a nice long varied day of play.
