Hills. Every hole has some elevation, and it's pretty extreme on many. Playing around the water tower, but never getting too near it, this course starts low, climbs up high, then finishes with a few downhill shots.

I like the downhill holes most, and hole 2 is clearly the best on the course, giving a lot of opportunity for distance while still being a fair hole. Hole 8 plays around a hillside, and you can throw some bombs on 9. Once you've seen hole 6 a time or two, it'll be another one that anyone with decent distance can attack.

With several baskets placed near woods, and some others on the sides of some hills, there is plenty of opportunity for some difficult putts. If you go just a little long on pretty much every hole, you're looking at a difficult comebacker. Assuming you don't lose your discs in said woods, it'll make a great challenge and give you something extra to think about when you've had a good first two shots but are looking at a long putt.

It's obvious there has been some work put into this course in the past - granted, a long time in the past. There are some stairs carved into the hillside around the basket of 7, one of the hilliest parts of the park, and some clear paths (on some holes) helping you out to the next tee. The course also does a good job staying away from the picnic shelter near the first tee.

Navigation isn't great. There's a map at the start of the course and on each tee, but they're virtually useless, showing you the distance but giving you no clue where the basket is because there are several blind shots and the maps are trash. You have to backtrack to get to the tee of 3, are left questioning where hole 4 is (turn right, then right again), and you have to walk a little more after 9. And part of the reason it's difficult is...

Maintenance is nearly nonexistent. Trees are blocking hole 3 so that it's barely possible to throw a drive. The grass is a little on the tall side, especially holes 5-8. When you're throwing near woods, it's especially thick and annoying, the worst being hole 6, where there is only one mowed strip, so you are left throwing over some super thick weeds. It'll be easy to lose discs because of the thick woods and many blind shots on this course. I think the baskets are Discatchers, but they're old, rusted, and some only have one row of chains.

A lot of holes have rather clunky design. Holes 5 and 7 are some of the most boring dogleg rights I've ever seen and have nearly no skill involved in them. The uphill holes have some variance in distance and slope, but they're a little too same-y to me, especially for a nine-hole course. Hole 4 is easy once you get the distance dialed in.

The open holes are too open. I'm looking at 1, 6, and 9 here (and potentially 8). While they all have some trees in play, any of them could have finished in the woods and given much more difficulty to both the drives and putts. While hole 6 has the weeds in front of the tee, they should be easy to throw over, and from there, it's flat and open for 200 feet to the basket. While all three of these holes give a lot of opportunity to really throw hard, accuracy isn't quite as important, as just about any drive will put you in a decent position.

The posted pars aren't helpful and give the wrong idea of how difficult the course is. Call everything par 3, though that will leave several holes (mainly 3 and 8) on the hard side.

This course could have been a whole lot worse than it is. And if something isn't done soon, significant parts of the course could become unplayable. Already, half the course is difficult to play because of the poor maintenance, and just looking around, there are a lot of potential problems.

There's a lot of land here that wasn't used, and a lot of missed opportunity. There should be a massive downhill shot to finish the round (hole 9 could have been it), and there's room in the woods for several more holes. I think 18 holes could be squeezed in here if someone tried hard enough. I'm not even asking for a bunch of true par 4's; the elevation here gives enough variety and can make many holes seem longer or shorter than they are. A little water past the basket of 2 could also come into play.

This is not a bad course to come and play, and if you like hills and a surprisingly exhausting round, you might have fun here. But as it seems to be degrading every day, who knows what it'll be like in just a year or two. Watch your discs and be prepared for some hills.

More elevation than you'll know what to do with, kinda scenic on top of the hill, Lots of trees

awkward in places, poor use of land and available elevation

I was licking my chops when I drove up to this course. So much elevation and trees available, it had to be a great course. What I soon learned was whatever potential this place had was severely underutilized.

The course starts on top of a tall hill where the opening hole bombs all the way to the bottom, about 100' vertical drop and the basket is tucked back up the hill hidden in some trees. Little chance for anything other than a drop-in 3 or you could try to punch it through the trees for a chance at 2.

From there, the course is one uninspired hole after the other. After #2 you are required to walk back along the fairway to the tee that is *in #2's fairway*. Then you are required to throw straight back up the hill on a slope that a billy goat would hate to climb. Not fun.

#4 is probably the best hole of the bunch as it throws a nice right to left shape along the ridge line with trees on both sides.

#5 is what I like to call a "J" hole. It's simply shaped like a J. You throw straight down a tunnel for 150' or so and then throw back to the basket tucked into some trees. Automatic 3. No real chance for birdie.

#7 is fairly interesting where you throw straight out for a couple hundred feet and then a 90 degree angle to the right and down to a basket on a steep slope.

#8 and #9 are ho-hum wide open shots to close out the round.

There is so much good land out there that this could have been one of the best 9-holers in the state. A few design tweaks could make that happen.
