Fun park-style course. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a slightly quirky city park course with some interesting holes. It's a mix of deuce or die must-gets, sneakily long par 3 smashes and technical, wooded holes. Lots of water in play as many holes play along a substantial creek. The course is fairly well maintained and easy to navigate as it basically just goes counter-clockwise along the creek. They must have had a tourney there recently as there was a lot of OB lines marked along the holes, making the easier holes a bit more interesting.

The Prodigy baskets catch well and are nice and visible. Really well done concrete tees and tee signs. Nice benches here and there.

This is a pleasant, quiet little park without much else going on in it other than the disc golf course. A nice change of pace if your usual course is busy with other park-goers and ball fields.

Although the course is mostly flat, there are some hilly holes on the back 9 to remind you that you're in Lynchburg.

Cons:

Course appears to flood a lot being so near the creek, lots of sand everywhere.

A lot of the baskets are installed really low to the ground, like if a midget designed the course.

Not many amenities or facilities, just a portable bathroom or two.

Other Thoughts:

Nothing really spectacular here but the designers did well with what they had to work with. A solid, fun course worth bagging for sure. This is the kind of course that can be really livened up with some Ript Revenge or something similar.

Will be a great course come next spring! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 25, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-big variety of holes challenges forehand, backhand, distance, and distance control.
-nice, new prodigy baskets
-excellent signs and tee pads
-mix of open and wooded holes
-start and end by parking lot

Cons:

-as of 11/25/17 the course is missing baskets on holes 1,2,3,17,18
-some spots could have dead trees removed
-first 6 of the first 9 holes are along the creek, so you might have to do some adventuring through the creek to grab a disc (like I did)

Other Thoughts:

There's still a little work to be done, but come next spring this will be a great course to put on the wish list. Most holes are around 250-300 feet. There's a couple shorter than 200 and 1 hole that pushes 500 feet. I'm a lefty and threw a big mix of backhands and forehands off the tee. Even threw a roller or two in there.
The baskets are placed in good spots. Some with a few guardian trees, some with death putts. Definitely a course to spend some time at next year!

A course is born 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very good variety of holes ranging from short, technical wooded holes to fairly long and open holes. Even some with ascending and descending elevation.

Park appears to be located in a nice, safe residential neighborhood.

Cons:

Course is still in it's infancy with not all Tee poured yet and no signage at all.
There are no other amenities at this neighborhood park save for an unmarked soccer field and a Porta-John.

Other Thoughts:

At this writing (7-23-17) the course is in it's infancy with only about half of the Tee pads poured and no signage at all making it a little difficult to find the next Tee in some instances and even the basket in some cases.

The course plays through Sandusky Park, a neighborhood park with no other amenities save for an unmarked soccer field and a Porta-John. Play starts and finishes close to the parking lot. The first 9 or so holes play along Blackwater Creek. You will want to keep this in mind unless you don't mind getting your feet wet. There is a good mix of open, fairly long and short, technical wooded holes (Tight fairways and tunnel shots.) with some elevation change thrown in for good measure. You will find yourself using all of the shots in your arsenal to score well on this course.

Summary: Designed with the intermediate to advanced player in mind this course offers something for everyone. It's a good course now and will be a great course once it is fully completed with all it's Tee pads poured and signage in place.
