- Discraft Chainstar Pro baskets. Love these baskets and they look fairly new.
- It's pretty obvious that this is a well loved course. There are wood chips and gravel spread throughout to help with walking and traction. The soils here look to get quite slimy after a rain so this is a great addition.
- There are oodles of little wood plank bridges over the tiny streams and wet areas.
- Benches throughout
- Challenging course. This is the kind of place that demands good shot placement. Err on one side of the fairway or the other and there is hell to pay. It's really not a place you'd ever want to play blind in a tournament. Seems like the kind of place that needs 2 or 3 rounds before you start to settle into a groove.
- Love the multiple pin placements.
- Navigation wasn't horrible but in a few spots could have been better if I am being picky. For the most part, it was easy to find the next tee but still had to us UDisc occasionally.

- Not a fan of 18 and all the pavement you have to play over. Not too concerned with safety but it just seems like with all the room out here there isn't another place to put this hole?
- The concrete tees are really nice but seem a tad small.
- Adjacent to 11 and 12 on what appears to be barbed wire buried in the shule. This is definitely a safety hazard - don't ask me how I know.
- #6 is really out of place on this course. I get it, it's really cool to have a 1k foot hole on your home course but I just hate holes like this where they are long for the sake of being LONG. This hole requires no shot shaping, no strategy - nothing. Just throw as hard as you can. Yawn.
- The signs where legible were great. However the majority of them are in need of some serious TLC or just flat out replaced.

Seviren Lang is obviously being cared for and loved by the local disc golf scene which is something I always love to see. It's moderately hilly to be sure and it feels like the back nine is one long stretch of one uphill hole after another making everything there a grind. 1 through 5 will lull you into a false sense of "hey this course is kinda easy" and then WHAM comes along #6. 7 though 9 aren't too bad but then prepare to have your tail kicked. Maybe it just seemed really difficult for me today because of all the wind. While there is a mix of wooded and open holes this is a place that is adversely affected by wind for sure in this setting of rolling hills. If you're anywhere near here this is definitely a worthwhile stop. Fun and challenging for sure.

Seviren Lang Disc Golf Course is an 18-hole course that provides a mixture of wooded and park-style holes. Residing just outside Louisville, Kentucky, this course is among the highest rated in the Louisville area as well as in all of Indiana.

Seviren Lang's location is in Garry E. Cavan Park, which is 20 minutes from downtown Louisville. There's not much else around that park other than residential areas, but there are gas stations and some restaurants at the exit of I-64 that you take to get to the park. There are other courses in the area too, including some on the Indiana side of the state line, making it possible to hit multiple courses in one day.

Garry Cavan has a variety of park amenities in addition to disc golf. There are 3 picnic shelters that each have a parking lot near them. There are also 2 playgrounds in the park near the first and third shelter. In the front of the park, you will find basketball and tennis courts, as a horseshoe pit. The front of the park has some nice character, with the front shelter sporting a barn design. The disc golf course is at the very back of the park; if you park in the last parking area, the course start and end will be on the left side of the parking lot. In addition, there are substantial open areas in the park, especially between the 2nd and 3rd shelter. The park website says the field along hole 6 is a soccer field, though there are some fences that insinuate that baseball has been played here as well. Regardless, there are plenty of open areas for park goers to enjoy; during my early morning round here, there were several folks walking around the park.

Seviren Lang sports some nice equipment as a whole. You will find a bulletin board next to the parking lot that has local info and a park map, as well as a sign directing you to hole 1. The disc golf course has red banded chain star baskets that looked pretty new, and played as such. There are also 2 practice holes around the parking lot with plenty of room to practice long putts and approaches. The primary tee pads were all concrete, with some tees have alternate rubber pads - all of the concrete pads were in good shape. The tee signs on course are a little different than the ones on DGCR. The graphics on the current tee signs are a little more detailed, and the signs on course also have pin placements, distances, pars, and which pin is in use. One extra bit of detail is that the tee signs have the elevation change from tee to pin. This was the first time I have seen that on tee signs, and while some of the elevation changes are under 10 feet, others are 30 feet or more. Each tee sign includes the direction to the next tee, but there are also directional signs around the course that help you find the next tee pad. There are plenty of trash receptacles around the course and park, so don't be a litter bug.

The course design at Seviren Lang has some nice variety to it. While plenty of holes here are par 3s, you also have genuine par 4s and a par 5 as well. The course starts with 5 wooded holes that all require precision on your drive to avoid a bad kick off a tree. Hole 2 is a particularly tricky hole, being a par 4 that's only 339 feet but sports a tricky dogleg to the right. After a few more short holes, you will come to the monster that's hole 6, a 1,011-foot hole that plays straight ahead. While the hole seems easy enough, take note of the fairway that slopes to the left the whole way to the pin towards unforgiving rough. After a couple open holes, hole 9 challenges you to a right turning, downhill shot off the tee. The next 5 holes play most open around tree lines with the exception of hole 12, with the last 4 holes requiring more precise drives and placement either through the woods or into them.

Variety at Seviren Lang should keep you from getting bored during your round. There are plenty of shorter par 3s, either through the woods or in the open, but peppered around those holes are some longer holes that will require some skilled shots. Hole 6 will require you to have some decent distance to make a birdie. Hole 11 when in the A placement, 13, 16, and 18 are all legit par 4s as well, requiring 2 intentional shots from most players to set up for a decent birdie chance. There is also a mix on course between left and right curving shots, requiring a decent arsenal of shot types from players that are dominant in either hand or prefer a particular type of throw. While none of the elevation is too extreme, it does factor in on some holes. Hole 9 is probably the best example of this, but other holes like 7 and 18 also have decent elevation changes to keep in mind as well.

For course highlights, a couple of holes come to mind. Hole 11 is a great shot over a tree line, and when it's in the A placement, it requires a tough 2nd shot into a tight fairway to the green. Hole 6 will come to mind for many folks given its length, while some holes like 13 and 16 sport great designs, I think a hole that may get overlooked is hole 15. A `250-foot hole may not seem tough, but if you can't throw a straight shot reliably, the pond down to the right or the steep hill to the left will really get in your head.

Course difficulty will best serve intermediate players. Some of the holes on this course put it a set above what beginning players might enjoy, but I could also see higher level players consistently shooting well under par. The large space in between those two groups in terms of skill level will find some good challenges here while still having fun.

Some of the course equipment could use a refreshment here. While the concrete pads and baskets are in fantastic shape, a lot of the tee signs are showing a lot of wear, with some being partially unreadable. The alternate tees on the course are rubber pads that don't seem to be in the best shape either, or at least don't look as solid in the ground as they could be. Not every hole even has an alternate pad, but it would be nice to see the ones that are on the course get some refurbishment or even an upgrade.

There's a creek that runs along the west side of the park that comes into play during a lot of the back 9. You cross is multiple times, and there are some nice bridges in most of the spots they are needed. That being said, it can get muddy and wet where the water runs, and I could see some messy spots outgrowing the bridges that are in place.

Course flow feels off in a couple spots. The transition from 6 to 7 isn't too bad, but between holes 6 and 9, you could easily walk the wrong way if you don't know where you are going.

Apparently ticks are plentiful on this property, so be careful when off of the fairways.

Most of the holes seem to drain pretty well, but a couple spots seem to stay wet or muddy for a bit. The holes were still playable, but just be mindful after a rainy day.

In terms of difficulty, this course will prove a little too hard for new players. It's a great intermediate course, but is not as accessible for players around the far ends of the skills spectrum. New players won't be ready for this course, and top-level players may find themselves wanting something more.

Some of the holes on course really stand out in their simplicity compared to the ones that sport great designs. This isn't a bad thing necessarily, but the blander holes keep the rating from being top notch for me. The combo of holes 3, 4, and 5 will come off as "okay" for plenty of folks. I like a good short disc golf hole that requires a careful shot off the tee, but that's just me. That being said, when you combine these holes with 7, 8, and 10, you start to have a combination of holes and shot types that keep this from being a destination course. This doesn't make this course bad by any means, but these holes stand out more when you have a few holes with such great designs on the same course.

Other than the tee signs that could use some love, there's really not much wrong with this course. It clearly has some committed folks looking after it, and it looks like it holds some larger tournaments throughout the year. To me, it's a very good course that is a few tweaks from getting into the conversation of destination courses. If you live in the area, this is definitely a course to hit if you have not yet. Some of the holes here really do provide some fun challenges, and the course makes great use out of the open and wooded areas not being taken up by other park functions. I'm not sure what more could be done in terms of course design without cutting down a bunch of trees to make fairways in the back. I think this course maxes out the land provided, and it was well worth the stop on my weekend trip of golf.

The Louisville Disc Golf Facebook page doesn't look active, but if you want information on the area, check out So In Disc Golf and Heartland Disc Golf on Facebook. It looks like the nearby Wendell Moore course has its own page as well. It looks like Disc Crazy Outdoor and More is the nearest pro shop, and isn't too far from Seviren Lang, so give them a visit if they're open and you want some new plastic.

If you're visiting Louisville, this definitely seems to be one of if not the top course to check out. If you're a local and haven't been here yet, this course is worth it to check out. I don't know who Seviren Lang was, but they have a very nice course named after them. I think the course designers and family did Seviren proud.

Seviren Lang DGC in Georgetown offers a pretty stout test for the average player, but if you are on your game and have a little luck, cracking par seems achievable. I only played one round, and left with a 64 (+3). This is a longer course, especially if you use the long tees. The fairways are open and grassy on some holes, and more direct lines through trees on some. A bit of elevation change here and there adds another dimension of fun. There are concrete tees with signs, and nice baskets with multiple pin positions. If you like to throw long, there is a 1000'+ hole for you, along with a couple of other big drive opportunities. If you like distance with dense woods, there are a couple of those also. A few shorter and mid range holes with varied shapes, and looks from open to wooded. Not a lot of water, but not out of the question. Some OB, and residential areas lining two fairways. Hole 1 is a fun opener, but short and sweet. 2 gets real. Fast. Longer and thick woods with a hard dogleg right. I also liked 3 and 4 pretty well. 5 is a short an simple putter throw, I aimed for the wrong target first, the practice basket directly in front of the tee. Made a great throw at the wrong target. 6 is the monster, super long but mostly open. 7 is downhill and open until a small gap in a line of trees that protect the green, and I thought is was a fun drive. 8 is a fairly easy hole, but I missed the birdie putt. 9 is fun and 10 is ok, but 11 was one of my favorites. There was some elevation, some distance, and groves of trees that steer you from one end to the other. 12 is another good drive that is a liner through the trees. 13 is kind of long, giving you airspace to throw hard, but still requires some guidance to hit the proper landing zones. 14 is good enough, and 15 is another nice tunnel sort of drive. 16 I really liked, as well. It is another lengthy hole, that winds a bit across gentle elevation change, and the pin is tucked in a tricky little pocket of trees. 17 is another really cool hole. A two here will take a great drive, and/or a nice putt. 18 is another long one, but a dogleg left this time, with more trees as you approach the basket.

The layout was a little funky, and I had to do a bit of exploring to find my way once or twice. I actually parked in the wrong place and began at hole 10 but everything worked out fine. I thought one or two holes were maybe a bit bland, but do offer some chances to make up shots with an easy birdie or two. May have to wait on other park goers walking near the course occasionally.

The first hole gave me a birdie, and I took another with a good drive on 4, but they were not terribly difficult. I was more impressed when my nearly perfect drive on 7 got the right bounce to bless me with a bird there. As nice as that was, I took 3 bogies on the front 9 and 3 more on the back. At least I enjoyed the ride. I would recommend Seviren Lang pretty highly. It was a really solid course in a nice, clean park. Those who play it regularly and take care of it are doing a very nice job maintaining it. Work was going on at hole 18 the afternoon I visited, and the guys there seemed cool, and gladly pointed me to the next hole when I asked for a little help.

Seviren Lang is set in a nice residential area that has plenty of parking space, a restroom, and a practice basket near the first tee. While the park does have multiple pavilions and playgrounds, it feels that the course is the main attraction. The park is very clean and well manicured, and there are trash cans throughout the course. There are multiple bridges and even a set of stairs to make your walking a little more comfortable.

The signage is superb here, with arrows pointing you in the right direction on multiple occasions. The navigation flows well and you can get along fine without using a map. There is just one part that can be a little confusing (see cons). The tee signs are fantastic and tell you pars, hole lengths, the pin position, and point you to the next tee. The concrete tees and Mach 5 baskets are in good shape.

This is a very balanced and technical course with a well thought-out layout. True par 4's and a par 5! It starts out with some tight shots in the woods, opens up more for the middle holes, and ends with semi-open, technical holes. A great variation of hole distances are present (ranging from 200-1,000 feet) and the little elevation that the park has is used to its maximum potential. The pin positions are very well thought out and add a challenge being behind a set of trees (1,2, 7, and 17), on a slope (8, 13, 14, and 15), and through a tight window (5, 11, 16, 18). These help make some of the more straight-forward holes more exciting. There is also a great mix a hyzer, anhyzer, and straight tunnel-shots, as well as multiple holes that require a hyzer, then anhyzer or vice versa (11, 13, 16, and 18). These long technical holes are what make this course special.

-While there are multiple tees for each hole, the am. tees are very short and sometimes hard to spot. The pro tees - while in great shape - are too short in my opinion as well.
-Going from 6-7 can be a little confusing, as 9's tee is near 6's basket. I mistakenly walked to 9 first before realizing 7 was to the right not to the left like 9.
-There are multiple simple, straight-forward holes. You may argue that that's what gives this course such great balance, and I would tend to agree with that approach. Because this course is so technical, it needs a few holes that do give you some room for error. However, there are a few holes too many that are open or some that I would even call boring, when comparing to the rest of the course's standard.

It is hard to give a course with so little cons "only" a 4 rating. This course is so solid and super clean. Much attention to detail has been given by way of navigation and pin placement. However, as I said, about 1/3 of the holes significantly don't match up to the rest of the course's standard. I loved the wooded holes at the beginning, and the long, technical holes that played through patches of trees. There are simply too many filler holes here though, holes that don't have a lot of character. Holes like 6-10 and 14 are pretty basic, but I do believe the designers use them to their maximum potential. Just a little bit of drop off. My favorite holes here were:

1 - Very tight, straight shot in the woods with a challenging pin position behind trees
2 - Pretty similar as 1, but with a pretty sharp anhyzer
11 - This sets the tone for the rest of the course. Throw a hyzer through a tight window (don't want to get in the rough here) and then a gradual uphill shot to the basket, which is in a tight spot within trees.
13 - Extreme anny then you have to throw through patches of trees to a basket on top of the slope. One of the great anhyzer then hyzer holes on the course.
15 - My favorite of the many tunnel shots in this course, because of the steep slopes on both sides and it's visual striking appearance.

Nice park with a great course.
Tons of fun with the forced line shaping and challenge added to this course.

Almost a great course just seems like a few too many filler holes.

Really enjoy playing this course and the challenges such as distance and placement golf that the design forces out of you.

Well marked, good use of elevation, great mix of shots, swing on almost every hole, plenty of deuce ops but some challenging holes as well. Weaves in and out of the open. Teepads are adquate, signage is good, DGA baskets with the blades, well maintained fairways, challenging but fair.

That it's not in my backyard.

Will visit here many more times, really enjoyed this course, very fun to play, I'll be keeping an eye out for a tournament here.

Nice and easy to get to off of I-64 with basic driving skills, you don't have to be Magellan to find this course. Adequate parking with good restrooms. Nice sign board with course map (wish the map was bigger) and plenty of info. New DGA Mach V baskets.

This course is a nice variety of open/semi-open holes with good terrain change, and other more tightly wooded holes, again with plenty of terrain change. Good mix of shots, with some nicely defined fairways and alternate routes to the pin. Good use of landing areas and tricky greens. Good shots are rewarded with better options for future shots and bad shots are punished with poor options for recovery. Certainly a good design to challenge pro and advanced players.

Nice concrete pro tees, no problems with the footing here. Smaller rubber matts for the am tees. Good signs with complete information and graphics including next tee info. There are lots of "next tee" signs out on the course which helps with navigation. Trash cans and water are avaialble on the course, and some holes have benches. It is obvious that tons of work has gone into this course, it is new and should only get better.

Not too many really. Because of some of the clearing in the woods, there are lots of short stumps around to nail a wayward toe. But, many of them have been painted.

The tee signs are located at the front of the tees. It's a pet peeve of mine that signs be located at the back of the tees to help give the clearest area of opertions to the player when teeing off. This may or may not bother other players.

To help make this course more friendly to the intermediate level player (newbies will not like it at all) the alt tee pads need to be marked with signs. We played on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and literally had the course to ourselves! There should have been some other players out there. This course, IMHO does need a little work to make it friendlier for am and intermediate players.

This course has some serious terrain change and some serious holes. Well designed for pro and advanced level players. It is a solid 4.0 for course topography and design. Still, it is a little rough around the edges and needs some polishing to get into the 4.5+ range. Which I think it can. It will be interesting to watch this course age.

If you are going up or down I-65, stop in for a round. If you are looking for day trip, it's a good match with a second round at nearby Charlie Vettiner in Louisville.

1) Tee signs have all the necessary information.

2) Big grippy concrete tees are always appreciated. I never felt uneasy planting to throw my drive. Short tees are rubber mats which is a good solution until/if concrete can be installed.

3) Good Mach baskets in good shape

4) OB was used effectively in a few spots to force certain shots or at least punish bad shots.

5) Lots of par 4's on this course which I am a fan of. This sport should be pushed with Par 4's and 5's and not all just the wide open distance. I think longer wooded holes are a valuable hole in course design.

6) 1000' hole gave me a chance to throw a couple rollers. I got one out there 395' which I think is my longest roller ever. While 1000' holes are somewhat boring, throwing the rollers made it bearable. The rolling hills you play down on this hole also made it more fun to throw.

7) Excellent use of the elevation changes on the course. The somewhat open holes also use the pockets of woods and underbrush effectively to force you into the fairways.

8) Next tee arrows help to guide you through the course in a few spots, always a welcome site for a travelling disc golfer, but I did even better, I played with one of the designers.

9) The tight wooded holes are challenging to say the least. A bad kick can really hurt you on a few of the holes.

10) A couple really unique holes out here, I can always appreciate holes that I haven't really seen before.

11) They used the viney overgrown areas well to shape fairways and punish poor throws. This is something I don't see much of in WI. The difference between here and WI is we have Buckthorn and it is super punishing, while the vines and low growing shule here allow outshots.

12) Bridges were pretty well made and in places where they were helpful.

13) Pavilion and playgrounds and ball-fields are all available in this park.

14) Nicely done course board and sign at the first tee. Check it for updates, leagues, etc!

1) The turf is thin on many areas on this course . . . it seems to be consistent with many Kentucky courses. There was some construction being done along #18 from the power company so I am sure they will repair the damage, but it was a mess to the left side of the fairway.

2) Not what I would call beginner friendly because of the tightness of many of the holes, but also because of the length on the others.

3) Not enough garbage cans to keep trash from being scattered around . . . although I suppose it will still get scattered around, but there is enough trash to be picked up I really don't want to carry it with me for multiple holes.

4) A few places to sit down but there could be a few more benches.

5) Hole #12 is really wet and flat so it holds water. Someone else complained about this so I am sure it wasn't just the rains that came recently. This could be solved with a french drain (perforated drain tile with gravel to the surface to allow the water to seep in). Then the draintile can be run down the hill away from the fairway and any other fairways it might affect.I know it takes time and/or money but it would be a priority of mine.

6) The walk back out from #2 long basket would really hold up play and expose people to discs from behind.

Design and challenge make this course a 4.5 . . . but the maintenance and scenery bring this course down to a 4 (but I actually think it is about a 3.75 in its current condition). If the parks department and the locals can make a few improvements this course will be really solid. I downgraded it because of these issues but I know the course will eventually be improved and it might be able to get up to a 4.5.

• Pro Tees are concrete with descriptive tee signs while Am tees are rubber fly-pads with no signs
• Next tee arrows to aide in navigation: they are especially helpful on the one real tricky navigation area (from 15 to 16 & 17 to 18)
• Solid mix: The open holes are usually longer, bordered/surrounded by thick, brushy areas, trees and/or OOB (to add some intricacy and force mindful shot selection) while the wooded holes are generally tight/technical/thick off the fairway and of shorter length. Available elevation is incorporated whenever possible and is of the gradual/moderate variety.
• The course blends a balance of left/right/straight hole shaping along with what I call 'tension and release' design (shorter/more technical holes followed by longer/more open holes in various combinations ranging from easy to moderate to difficult - oftentimes combining and or inter-changing components of each).
• In conjunction with the course traversing throughout the periphery of the entire park, the above mentioned characteristics (mix & balance) allow for a mostly seamless flow as the land is used resourcefully and (re)designed with a specific purpose in mind.
• Baskets were placed with consideration (on slopes/small hills with roll-away potential, nestled in the woods after open drives, tree captive, etc). Roll-away was especially evident on 'transition-esque' holes (open holes #5 & #17 immediately come to mind) to add a little risk to otherwise basic holes .
• I don't recall ever seeing this course feature before but there were small mats around the base of the basket poles apparently to alleviate undergrowth.
• Bridges were in place to aide in crossing muddy & water runoff areas as drainage appears to be a course concern
• Well kept park (water available, pavilion, ball fields, playground, etc) with trash cans accessible on some holes
• Easy drive-by play as it's conveniently located off I-64 just outside of Louisville.

• Slightly repetitive feel with similar wooded holes (tunnels) and open holes (brush bordered)
• While am tees were 'easier' as far as distance was concerned, they didn't appear to be significantly so with various 'looks off the tee' being comparable to the pro tees also
• Lack of benches was noticeable
• Played in late fall so rough wasn't a factor but can see it being so during months of full growth
• Park borders a neighborhood which was esthetically detracting in a minuscule way (think McMansions)

This is one solid course where accuracy, a variety of shots, mental toughness & a complete game is required to score well. Many of the holes penalize even the smallest mistakes by adding a stroke or more (some prime punishment examples are: #18's 459ft par 3; #7's 420ft. par 4; #9's 531ft par 4 with a mando and OOB to boot! - & #2's 519ft par 4). There's even a wooded hole (#11) with a fairway so narrow & dense, along with a sharp mid-fairway turn, that even though only 339ft, is designated a par 4.

I will say the lack of any real signature and/or stand out holes that generate the 'wow' factor is evident - even #15's 1011ft par 5 which has impressive length isn't what I'd call memorable or outstanding. However, this certainly does not detract from the course's fun factor and isn't a 'con' but needed mentioning.

Taken as a whole, Seviren Lang DGC is really well done and will present challenges to all skill levels (perhaps being a bit too much for newer or less experienced players). Sound play and shot selection will be rewarded (sometimes this will merely be par) and mistakes will have the player reflecting on what could have been. These course characteristics will keep the players coming back for more & I highly recommend dropping by for a play if nearby.

There is a good combination of distance and short holes. Most of the shorter holes are narrow and require technical acumen for birdie.

*Several holes have alternate pin placements as of 2014.

#1 is the only hole from the original course to survive intact. It is a short, narrow shot that crosses a small ditch. The basket is just right of dead center, but is well-guarded by trees. Downed trees have been lain across the fairway about 25' in front of the basket so that they may better direct rain runoff and reduce erosion, but they will stop a lot of skips up to the basket (although there were roots there that made skips hit-or-miss propositions anyway.
* Alternate pin placement, which will rarely be used, is about 30' past the basket. The shot becomes more of a straight shot than the original basket.

#2 is a short par 4, but very challenging. The drive is a fairly short one that goes only slightly to the right with a landing area. From there, the fairway drops down about 4 feet down a little ditch and turns right. This portion of the fairway is narrow and has numerous trees with which to content. The basket is slightly up a hill to the right.
Your drive can turn the corner right of the landing area and drop down the ditch leaving you about a 100' or so to the basket, but doing so is almost blind luck in regards to what kind of line you may have to get to the basket.

#3 is a short, straight shot that comes out of a tunnel about 10' wide and about 40 or 50' deep. There is a tree about 15 feet in front of the left side of the teepad that gives me fits (I throw lefty forehand.) The fairway then widens to about 40 or 50' wide, with the basket on the right side of the fairway. If you miss the basket to the right you will likely drop down a hill about 8 or 10 feet and may be in trees that make it difficult to have a shot.

#4 is a slightly uphill shot with two routes.The right lane is somewhat longer, but is more open. Go to the left and you have a shorter route; however, if you get too far left you will be in trees and may not have a shot.

#5 is a slightly downhill shot that turns almost 90 degrees around a large pine tree back into a cove cut out of the woods (most of which are pines. Spike hyzers tend to work for bigger arms, but there are trees to contend with if you get too far to the right trying to lay out to make the turn.

#6 is the 1011 ft. monster par 5 (800 from the am pads, with yet a 3rd pad at around 600.) The basket is about even with the teepad as far as elevation, however, you have two rolling hills down the fairway, and the last shot to the basket will likely be uphill. The fairway slopes from right down to the left. The left side of the fairway is thick rough the entire way (and if you get deep enough in it, there is a fence that is OB.) Near the end of the fairway there is a mando on the right that keeps you from throwing a large hyzer that would go over a parking lot. There are two trees in the middle of the fairway about 70 or 80 feet from the basket; the one to the right is a tall, mature sycamore and the one to the left is a smaller, thicker tree. If you hit the smaller tree, your disc will not go through it (and may not even come down--it has the thickness of a weeping cherry, but it's bigger and it's some other kind of tree.)

#7 is a downhill shot. The basket is set in a line of mature pine trees. If you go too far there is OB behind the basket, but that rarely comes into play.
* The alternate placement, which will usually be the one used, is about 20' farther than the original one. Two trees were taken out to make the path to the basket more open, but the likelihood of going OB into the road is much greater.

#8 Goes slightly uphill, then there is a flat area just below a hill that elevates about 15 feet. Most discs will land in this flat area. There is a parking lot right of the basket about 20' that is OB.
*Alternate basket will be most often used. It is right of the existing basket, adding about 10 or 15' and sitting much closer to the parking lot than the original basket.

#9 was originally considered a par 4, but after our pros were getting pretty close to the basket it was reclassified as a 3--it is a difficult 3. The teeshot is downhill through a tunnel. Go too far straight down the hill (or let it turn left once the fairway opens up,) and there is a fence that is OB. The fairway opens up wide at the bottom of the hill and turns right. There is a small stream that runs from about the end of the fence all the way down the left side of the fairway that is OB. The basket is about 20 or 30 feet from the stream tucked under trees.
*The alternate pin makes the hole about 25-30' farther, but not necessarily more difficult. Instead of being tucked under trees near the creek, the basket is in the open field to the right. The road is OB behind the basket if you overshoot too badly.

#10 is the most wide open of the short holes and it has a basket placement near the top of a drop-off to the rear that can take you down about 10-12' in elevation.
* The second basket is right of the original one, taking the rough to the left out of play. It also shortens the hole about 12'.

#11 is a par four that, from the long pad, crosses a ravine with trees. Clear the ravine and try to avoid going too far to the left or you'll have no second shot. You will likely throw a hyzer (for a RHBH) around a large grouping of trees towards a narrowing downhill tunnel. Go too far right before you hyzer and you could be OB.
*The second basket shortens the hole to a 333' par 3 with no dogleg.

#12 is a short downhill tunnel shot with OB to the left (not very deep in the trees,) wrapping around behind the basket.

#13 is another par 4, slightly uphill. Tee shot from the longs must turn right, and there is a mando to the right of the fairway and OB to the left if your drive stays straight. You second shot will have to contend with a grouping of trees in the middle of the fairway. The best route is to the right, but if your drive gets too far to the left there is a small alley.

#14 is a par 3 that is not quite 300', but plays longer than it appears because the basket is set atop the end of an earthen dam, about 10 feet higher in elevation than the teepad. While it's a fairly straight shot, there is OB to the right, a large tree that can affect your second shot if you're too far left and short, and the earthen dam is only about 5 or 6 feet wide at the spot of the basket--it drops off the back side as severely as the front.
* The alternate basket, which is the one played most often, makes this a par-4 dogleg left. Unless you can clear the end of the dam atop which the original pin placement sits, you'll probably want to stay near the center or slightly right of the fairway so that you can have an unobstructed 2nd shot. The road runs along the fairway and comes into play near the basket.

#15 is a tunnel shot down the rest of the earthen dam. While there is trouble to either side, if you get off to the right you can have virtually no shot.
*The new pin is at the end of the tunnel, slightly right but a far more straight-on shot than the original basket.

#16 Par 4. The teeshot will have to go to the left of the area of trees directly in front of you (there is a tunnel to the right but you won't have a 2nd shot at the basket, and the tunnel is very narrow--you'll only use this by accident unless you are one of the 1% who have the ability to throw a massive hyzer up and around the trees,) but there is also rough to the left. Your second shot will go between this group of trees and a smaller grouping of trees that is centered around a tall dead tree to the left. The basket is through a line of pine trees. There is a small gap to walk through them, but the shot you play will most likely be over the trees.

#17 is a slight downhill, fairly narrow, with potential thick rough on either side. The basket sits behind two tall trees in the middle of the fairway and you'll have to go right of them, as there is a lot of growth to their left.

#18 is probably the most difficult of the par 4s. Your drive crosses a road (OB) that also lines the right side of the fairway (and becomes a parking lot, obviously, also OB.) There is a mando to the left. Get too far to the left and near the mando and you may not have a second shot. When you go around the mando, it is virtually a 90 degree left turn into a narrow fairway. The basket is tucked up on a slight hill to the right.
*The 2nd basket is set in the trees behind the mando, essentially making the hole play like a fish hook. It does take about 35' off the distance.

The course drains well in most places, but there are still some problems. There have been two small footbridges put in to begin and end #13 that allow you to clear the water.

Benches have been added in a few places but it could use more (#12's tee would be a good place to put a bench.)

While there are bathrooms and water available, you won't have access on the back side of the course. You have one water fountain that you can hit between #3 & #4 and another you can hit between #6 & #7 or #8 & #9--it's actually not a fountain, but a spigot. The restrooms are at the beginning and end of #6.

Ticks and mosquitoes are usually thick--bug spray is strongly suggested.

The redesign here took a ho hum course and made one that is challenging and fun. The course is a mix of grassy areas with brushy rough, some tightly wooded holes, and a couple open field shots including a 1000' monster. The terrain available is used quite well, there is a nice mix of uphill and downhill shots and there are a few nice tricky pin placements with good roll away possibility.

The coure plays pretty balanced between right and left turning shots. You'll need to hit different lines to score well here, and thick rough comes into play on most holes so you'll need some tricks to get out of trouble. I liked the mix of hole lengths, with some ace runs and some bombers with a good variety between.

The tees felt a little small, especially on the longer holes. The am pads are tiny rubber pads that aren't laid well. They are often lumpy and not level, and most don't offer any very different lines from the concretes. It looked like some holes had alternate sleeves for basket placements, none of these were marked on the signs (though it's hard to tell with all the sleeves still in the ground from the previous layout). Several areas of the course held water, including one tee (4 I think) that was completely under water, hopefully as the grass grows in the course will drain better.

I think it's great that the course was redesigned, and it improved the course quite a bit. Beginners will find the course a little tough, even from the short tees, especially with the thick thorny rough. More experienced players will find some really nice challenges, and good variety with bombers, tunnel shots and lots in between.

HUGE improvement over the previous course layout.
-Flow from hole to hole is very good, with signs pointing to the next tee.
-Signs are fantastic.
-Good variety of different types of holes: wooded, open, left, right, flat, hilly.
-I really appreciated the addition of the 1000 ft hole on 15, after playing half the course through a technical wooded area, it was nice to rip a few.
-Teepads were good.
-I'm not sure if it was because we played this course in early April as opposed to summer, but the thorny rough never came into play at all. This is significant because the old Cavan layout had some of the nastiest rough I've ever seen.
-Has several "interesting" basket placements (on slopes, on ridges) that provide risk/reward opportunities.
-Some really nice "signature" type holes (all of the par 4s were fantastic, IMO)
-Inclusion of Am pads is nice, even if only rubber (was it just me or were most of the Am pads pretty close to the Pro pads?)
-We played right after a downpour, and drainage was good. Not much puddling.
-Park is well kept and regularly mowed.

-While you can practice putt on 18s basket, there's really nowhere to warm up your arm or practice driving before your round.
-This course has more tunnel shots than any course I've ever played. I think I counted 6 or more. They started feeling repetitive.
-The course makes a big loop around the park, so once you leave your car, you won't be back until you've played all 18.
-No benches.

- Seviren Lang provides variety in both style and length throughout its 18-hole layout. The first 7 holes wend in and out of small copses of trees, some with thick undergrowth that definitely will add strokes if the fairway is missed. The middle of the course is comprised of tightly defined fairways, again with some punishing rough. Finally, the
course opens up again for the massive #15 and finishes near the parking lot.
- This course claims to have several true par 4's and 5's. Usually I ignore these and play everything as a par 3, but on this course, they just might have a case for a higher par. Several of these holes can be brutal if you miss your line. #15, clocking in at over 1000', will slap your momma and call you Sally if you miss the fairway and land in the extremely thick schule to the left (which is easier to do than it looks). The rough in some places can cost 2 strokes just to hack through it trying to regain the fairway.
- Good concrete pads for pro tees, rubber pads for ams.
- Signage for the most part is good. Next tee signage as needed.
- Bathrooms, water fountains, etc. on site.

- Am tees do not have tee signs.
- Some holes had large concentrations of tree stumps. Watch your step or risk tripping and/or stubbing a toe.
- The park-style layout coupled with the nearby suburban homes detracted a small amount from the natural beauty, in my opinion, but does not affect discing in any way.

- Perhaps not a valid con, but there just didn't seem to be any signature hole or holes that stood out as unique or otherwise outstanding (#6 and #15 came the closest). Every hole was solid and fun, just not spectacular.

Great course design with a good mix of open and tight holes as well as challenging forehand and backhand shots. The use of the natural elevations is great.

Rubber teepads one hole was challenging due to weather. Would love to see a practice basket and more restroom facilities, but these are only minor requests to an already outstanding course and park!

Tremendous redesign of a course that before hand I had no desire to play to know I want to play it all the time. Superb job to all who helped but especially Adam Higdon for helping to make our sport better.

Seviren Lang is a very fun challenging course that winds in and out of open, tree lined, and wooded fairways. The layout has great flow and circles the park so that you will face the wind from all directions throughout the round. The par four's can easily be reached for a birdie three, but basket placements make them harder than they look, either way they are a blast to play. Holes 4 and 7 are signature holes that play around giant pines. The course has great variety with alot of different shot's for all types of golfers.

Hate to complain about fresh concrete pads but a few seem just a tad short for my liking. The chains on these baskets are super light causing more than normal spitouts. I thought I was crazy but it was a topic of conversation during league rounds and I think they are working on the standard heavy chains. None of this should differ you from the course.

The best course in the Lousiville area, the design takes full advantage of what area the park has. The mix of par three's and four's and the lone five make this course fun for all skill levels.

Concrete teepads
Great signage
significant skill levels
Technical with plenty of duece opportunities
Par 61 may change to 62 when hole # 7 pin adds a second pin placement.

Still young since total course redesign.
Needs some cleaning up brush still needs more work days.
pad 5 needs attention due to water drainage

only cons are mentioned is things that the local club has on agenda and wont be cons for long. Still very young but day and night improvement from previous layout.

Course Design & Layout:
Seviren Lang DGC offers a challenging Par 61 layout with great variety throughout the entire course. The course is comprised of a single 18-hole loop. There is good balance in the layout between the 3s, 4s, and 5. Although some of the holes are similar in layout and feel, they are different enough and spread out to keep it interesting and not feel redundant. The park is full of minimal to moderate elevations that create a good mix of up/down/flat holes as you work your way around the layout. Pin positions throughout the course take full advantage of the present elevations and landscape to create some nice greens with several pins located on or near slopes and drop-offs. The fairways are a good mix of open, technical, and semi-technical lines with nice variation in straight, right, left and variable layouts. Seviren hosts 5 really nice Par 4 holes, and one Par 5 that extends over 1000ft! While length is certainly an advantage at this course, control and placement are equally important to yield low scores.

The original course didn't have any "wow" holes that really stood out and it didn't leave me with a very good impression. The redesigned layout offers major improvement in challenge and aesthetics, and has a lot of really GREAT golf holes.

Course Breakdown:
Holes 1,5,13,16,& 17 are all more "open" style par 3s with plenty of room to work the disc, but none are gimmies. The pins on 1 and 5 are located near slopes, running at these baskets could easily add strokes. Hole 13 offers 2 fairly open, but distinct routes (hyzer or anhyzer) with OB near the basket. The basket on 16 is very well guarded by a stand of pines, if you get in the trees on the left, there is hardly any gaps and you will be hard pressed to find a direct route to the pin. No.17 is wide open except for one large tree offset slightly to the right just over midway through the hole. Although a shorter hole, it plays along a continuous uphill slope that gets more severe near the basket. The hole plays a lot longer than the posted distance, and the slope near the pin can yield unwanted results if you miss your putt or approach.

Holes 3, 6, 8, 10, & 12 are short, technical "tunnel" type shots with thick rough and trees guarding the edge of the fairways. Hit your line, and you are rewarded with a good look at a deuce, miss the fairway on these holes and you will definitely work to save par. Holes 3 & 8 play slightly down hill with narrow fairways, while 6 & 12 are flat and a little more open. Hole 14 is a little different, a very short downhill par 3 with an open tee shot that fades right to left into a narrow tunnel in the tree line. Getting back to the pin on this hole requires good speed and line control to hit the gap and follow the path down to a well guarded basket.

Holes 2, 4, 7, are longer par 4s where placement is key to scoring. These holes have a "semi-open" feel off of the tee and plenty of room to let it rip, but if you end up in the wrong position, you may not have a good look at the pin for your approach. Hole 9 is has a tough tee shot with OB right (road) and a mando on the left. Although the first part of the hole is open, the fairway makes a hard left into a "funnel" that gets more narrow toward the basket. If you are short of the mando, or throw to far without fading into the tunnel, your second shot will likely be a placement shot to position for your approach to a pin tucked into a tight gap on a small hill. At only 339ft, the par4 11th is definitely a placement/strategy type hole. The tight line off the box leads to a small landing area where the fairway makes a sharp dogleg right around 220ft or so, and then follows a narrow tree lined approach to the green. With the narrow lines and many, many trees, birdies will have to be earned.

-The par 5 15th plays slightly downhill at just over 1000ft and is relatively open, but with the fairway sloping right to left, there will be a greater tendency for the disc to fade hard to the left, which is where all the trouble is on this hole. The rough in this area is very dense and can be difficult to get out of. It is very tempting to air out a drive (or 3) on this long demanding hole, but don't get careless with placement, or you will find yourself struggling for par.

-The finishing hole at Seviren is one of the best finishing holes I've played. A long par 3 with a downhill tunnel shot off the box that turns right into an open fairway. If you go straight or fade out left, you'll find yourself in some very thick rough and possibly OB. The approach is pretty straight-forward, but the basket is tucked behind some trees with OB near the basket.

-Tee pads: There is still a lot of dirt around many of the tees, the day I played here it was wet and very sloppy around many of the tees making for some slick tee pads.
-Fairways: Several new fairways with little grass also made for some very sloppy conditions.
-Excess Brush: Still a lot of brush around the edge of fairways that have been cleared.
-Am Tees: Rubber tees that are slippery in wet conditions, no signage at the Am tees.
-Safety concern: The basket for 2 is located down a small tunnel and is not visible from the tee or left side of the fairway. You have to walk back up the fairway for 2 on your way to hole 3. It isn't a high risk area, but there is a possibility that someone could throw into your group in this area without knowing you're there, just keep this in mind.

NOTE: The tee for Hole 18 is visible from the basket on Hole 15 and kind of looks like the direction you should go. Red directional signs are located behind the basket to point you toward the tee for Hole 16 which is located near the small pavilion up the hill and to your right.

The new design plays in the opposite direction from the original Garry E Cavan layout, and makes much better use of the land in the park. If you played the old layout, you will notice a few holes that were modified slightly from the original layout, but still play along similar lines, however, most of the holes have been completely redesigned and the course as a whole is a drastic improvement over the original. If you are returning to the course to try the new layout, I think you'll be pleased with the changes, if you have not played this course, add it to your wish list! Seviren Lang is a solid 4+ rated course and worth the trip to play.

With as short of a time this course has been in the ground it is in excellent condition. Lang has good grippy tee pads (for the long tees) and rubber mats, currently, for the shorts. Nice signs that look brand new accompany each hole and clearly state OBs and some mandos. Other mandos are largely visible on the course. Course navigation is fairly easy with red "Next Tee" arrow signs throughout the park. The course utilizes the topography and tree lines excellently. No hole is completely on level ground, elevation changes abound. Whether it be a flat fairway and sloping green or vice versa or both sloping, you are gradually climbing or descending. I won't go through a hole by hole summary but there are several ace runs out there as well as multiple demanding and punishing par fours. Getting greedy on any of these holes will leave you scratching your head at having to make a recovery shot and to how you got yourself into that position. Consistent smart play and course management is the way to score well. Seviren has good variety in multiple tight tunnel shots as well as long open spaces to let loose. No two holes play exactly alike which will force you to keep changing shots off the tee and/or learning new ones. The wind can be a big factor out on the open and semi-wooded holes and always seems to be moving regardless of time of day and conditions.

With constant work being done on the course and some of the rough being cleared out, not all of has been pulled away, only cut in places. Once these patches have been cleared out, finding discs will be much easier when off the fairway. The rough is thick and will only get thicker during the hotter months and will generate several problems; ticks and poison ivy. Be careful and watchful when entering these areas. The short tee pads are only rubber mats currently and during inclement weather, these are very slick. Also there are no tee signs near any of the short tees. There is no practice basket currently though hole 18's basket is near the entrance to the park if you want to practice your short game before starting.

There are trash cans on the course but not on the deep wooded holes, only near the road that runs near the course. Trash cans are near tees 1, 4, 9, 14-16 and 18. As this course grows and more planned areas are cleared out, multiple pin placements will start to appear, possibly using the old sleeve placements from the original course. As it stands, I've put this course as a 4.0 due to the work that hasn't been completed yet but is planned. This course can only get better with time and will. I plan on revisiting this review later in the year to readjust what I've written based on how the course is at that time. Overall, its a really fun course that can leave you scratching your head at a poorly placed/executed shot and get you pumped when hitting your lines. More advanced players will do well to hit all their lines and minimize their time in the rough while less skilled players can use this course to learn a lot of valuable shots that will help them on other courses and work on recovery shots.

This course is the result of a redesign done to the, now extinct, Gary Caven Park. This new design showcases the land provided in this enormous park. At Seviren Lang you'll find a great mixture of shots. There a still quite a few ducable holes but there aren't any "gimmes". The course has just the right amount of elevation that is enough to add challenge but not enough to wear you out. There is a balanced mixture of right to left and left to right shots as well open and wooded holes and long and short shots. The former course didn't really have any memorable holes but this course seems to have one after another. The 1000+ footer is a GREAT addition. It's not often you're able to play a hole that allows you to air it out a few times on such a long hole. This course was well thought and well built.

The rubber pads on the short tees can get slick and messy. There are a FEW places that a new visitor could get turned around between holes. The signage is (and will be) a great help to avoid this.

This new design GREATLY improves this piece of land as far as disc golf goes. Before, the course was boring, forgetable, and not worth playing. Now the course is a true test of your abilities that will have you coming back to better your "best" there. This is the best improved redesign I've ever played.
