If You Go Out In The Woods Alone! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Salford Township Community Park DIsc Golf Course (will be called TSTCPDGC from hence forth) is a fairly rustic excuse for a disc golf course. TSTCPDGC actually starts out behind the post office and beyond the small children's play area. Out back there you will find a building called the barn. There is actually a large parking lot back there. I don't believe this course will ever need that parking.

There is little sign of the course. There are no signs. The tee pads are two small rubber mats if you can find locate them. The baskets are older Mach I models. The on-line map is a little sketchy and difficult to follow. I figured out most of it by the Braille system.

# 1 starts up by the basket and plays about 140' to the basket over near the barn. # 2 is a big anhyser shot around the bushes to a basket down in the corner. # 3 then plays straight into the woods which are clear.y marked "No trespassing." They obviously had some kind of a haunted house down in these spooky ole woods as there are all types of ghoulish remnants down here. # 4 is a hyser down the path to a basket which was set in standing water. # 5 is a hyser up and around the wooded area. Someone # 6 plays to one of the two baskets up on the lawn. Then # 7 plays to the basket which sits behind the little shed. # 8 then routes you on an impossible anhyser to the basket back on the lawn. And then # 9 plays across the field to the basket back where you started ions ago.

I might be the first human to set foot on this haloed ground since Clinton was president. There doesn't appear to be wide spread interest in TSTCPDGC.

Cons:

There might be a few Cons.

Crummy little tee pads which are hard to locate.

No signage.

On-line map is difficult.

Design is pretty basic.

Wet areas in the woods.

Dismembered body parts left over from Halloween.

Ghouls and zombies wandering the woods after dark.

Other Thoughts:

I believe TSTCODGC is a sinking ship. I can't imagine ever playing here. There is no evidence of any recent play. It's a little bit eerie being down in the woods around all the Halloween ghoulishness. I don't think I would like to be trying to finish up a round as darkness falls. Some dude might come out of woods with a chain saw. That might be an idea for a movie starring Jennifer Love Hewitt called the The Salford Township Community Park Disc Golf Chainsaw Murders.

Do you know what I love about Jennifer Love Hewitt?

Answer: Her hewitts.

Not worth playing 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 holes with baskets in good shape, probably best aspect of course

Cons:

Tees and baskets not marked; tees are like two shingles laid down in grass, not hard to find but hard to throw off of. Hill could have been utilized. Holes in woods tight and hard with growth. No trespassing signs are up for some reason, oh well.

Other Thoughts:

Only played because I was in the area. I wouldn't recommend it even if you could walk there.

Weird Pennsylvania 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 19, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Short course with some interesting shot variety. Right turning, left turning, S-shaped and straight away fairways. About half open, half wooded holes, little bit of elevation change, but nothing dramatic. A variety of different drives was required.
Park was quiet and pleasant to be in.

Cons:

Teepads are smallest I have played yet. Assembled from 2 tiles, they were hard to find and not very fun to throw from. I'm wondering why the time an bit more expense wasn't taken to expand them to say, 6 tiles? Tees are unmarked which added to the difficulty navigating the course. Without a map I would have been lost.
Basket 8 is right there on the edge of 3's fairway and at first glance (and after the first 2 short open holes) seems the likely target, which added to the confusion.
My biggest gripe was the wooded holes simply used walking trails as fairways. One of my least favorite things to see/play. Not much course design.

Other Thoughts:

The courses saving grace had really nothing to do with the course. It seems the wooded part was used for a Haunted Woods this past fall and the remnants are still on the walking trails used for the course (as of January 2010) Large strangely painted displays with fake blood and gory mannequins scattered about. The best was a large 8ft wooden cube that had 666 painted on the sides and an open door facing, yes, hole 6's tee. Placed just off the fairway, it seemed a likely place to throw a wayward drive. The whole thing gave me a Weird Pennsylvania vibe and kept me at the course for a 2nd round. I kinda want to go back with my camera..
Salford is just off 476 and can be played as part of a 5 course string of 9 holers going up and down 476. Unami Creek to the North and Branchwood right nearby are both a lot of fun to play.

Not much here 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 nice baskets. Offers both open and wooded holes. It's short, so a round can be done fairly quickly if you're short on time. A play structure for the young kids is right next door.

It's perfect for introducing kids and new players to disc golf.

Cons:

There are so many, where do I begin? That was my first problem with the course, I had no idea where the first tee/basket was. I didn't find a map/scorecard/directory any where. I just threw towards one basket on the other side of the park, and stumbled upon what had to be a tee pad.

Incidentally, the tee pads are tiny, but you really don't even need them, the holes are so short. Both the tee pads and baskets are unmarked, so navigation is a guess at best. I had no idea if I was playing the course in the proper order and to the correct baskets. Sometimes I was throwing with the long side of the tee pad, and sometimes with the short side. Not sure if this was correct or not.

Very few parking spaces at the post office.

Other Thoughts:

I felt like this was a course I could build in my own backyard. This is a very small neighborhood park. There are no signs in the park indicating this is a disc golf course, so I imagine residents have no idea what it is, so probably, none of them use it.

A little improvement could go a long way. At a minimum, the tee pads and baskets need to be identified so you know where you are going.

I'm giving this course a rating of 1, even though it probably deservers lower, because I know a lot of effort, time and hard work had to go into getting this course installed.

Salford Township 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

Half open and half wooded.

Cons:

Holes and tees aren't marked and I don't know of any course maps being available. There are two 2' x 2' rubber squares that serve as tees, but you can only guess if you're going for the right pin.

Other Thoughts:

Pretty short course - wouldn't be bad if they marked the tees and holes.
