Great Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is in the back of a mixed use park that includes baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, and a soccer field. Course does not interfere with those courts. Course is an intermediate to advance level course. Not very beginner friendly but would definitely teach someone accuracy.

Baskets - 18 Mach 5 baskets that catch great. Did not have any issues with spit outs. There are also 2 practice baskets on site. Each hole has an A and a B pin position which actually has the current location marked on the sign. Basket locations can drastically change the hole.

Tees - At least 1 concrete tee per hole. There are several holes that have a shorter tee which is a rubber mat. Hole 6 has 3 tees. Concrete tees were grippy. Some of the rubber mats were a little slick.

Signs - Signs include map, distance, par, hole number, basket locations (marked with a washer), as well as the location to the next tee. There was also a course map at the start of the course. There were signs throughout the course pointing to the next hole if it was ever in question.

Variety - This course has a great mix of short and technical shots as well as open bombers. There were several tunnel shots and a few thread the needle shots. Course has it all. Uphill, downhill, valley, wooded, and wide open shots. There were several blind shots due to elevation and woods.

There were bridges when needed!

There were benches or stumps as well as trans cans at every concrete tee.

Course was very clean and spread out.

Easy to get to. Not many nearby options for courses.

Cons:

Not many cons that I can think of.

Course could use concrete tees for the alternate tees as opposed to the rubber mats. Rubber tees were a little slick and some of them were not in the best shape.

Signs at the alternate tees would be nice as well.

I noticed there was a tick on me as I was leaving the course!

Other Thoughts:

I really loved this course. It is definitely a challenging course and it was well maintained. I am from Indy and wish this course or one similar was in Indy. There are a few that are close but just not the same. Several holes at this course reminded me of some of the holes in Charlotte. It was a nice change of pace. It was my 4th course of the day and by far my favorite.

Awesome Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 11, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Challenging course. A great mix of hole locations and different types of shots needed. Very well kept up course and a lot of fun to play.

Cons:

Placement is huge! As an Am 3 player I wish I had a forehand shot. Would have lowered my score. Not much negative other then to say it's a tough course. Don't expect a record low.

Watch out for ticks in some of the rough, our group had about 10 ticks between 3 people from the woods on hole 10.

Other Thoughts:

Holes that I loved...
1 - short but fun hole that required a nice mid range shot.
8 - Not easy, but a fun well place pin spot makes an interesting hole.
10 - An easy hole, the only one I birdied twice in the tournament :)

This is a great course, tough but a blast to play. As a disc golfer this had to be one of my top 20 course I have ever played.

Gem in Georgetown 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 3, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Seviren Lang is a very nice park in a residential area. You can be at the course in less than 5 minutes from the exit at I-64. There was plenty of parking and a nice practice area and basket near the parking lot. Just looking at the baskets as we were driving in to the park, I wasn't all that impressed with what I saw.. that soon changed.

The course has very nice concrete tee pads that had very good grip.

Most of the holes have places to sit and trash cans are available.

The Mach 5 baskets were all in good shape and the areas around the baskets was well groomed.
The hole signs were top notch. They gave a very accurate yardage of the hole and the different basket placement. Each sign does have a marker to tell you if the basket is in "A" or "B". You might want to check just to make sure.
The next tee signs make navigation VERY easy on this course. This was my first time to the course and I had no problems at all.

The course starts in the woods. Holes 1-5 are in what I would call moderately wooded. most of them are very short but require PRECISE shots to make birdies. I needed a straight shot, a large anny/forehand, a big hyzer and a power fade just to play those holes.

The course opens up big time next few holes. Most of the time open means easy. Not here. You will need distance and the ability to work your disc to make birdies. Alot of the open holes have very tricky approaches. (Slopes, Ledges or Fall Offs)

Holes 12-18 would be lightly wooded but are very difficult closing holes.

Some holes that stuck out to me...

Hole #5 - It's an easy hyzer that needs to go about 150 ft out and about 60 feet left. Make the shot and it's and easy duece. Miss the opening and 5 comes into play REALLY quickly.

Hole #6 - Anytime you get to chuck it 1011 ft into the wind, it has to be memorable. There are only a couple of trees that come into play on the entire hole, but they are VERY well placed to catch your approach shots.

Hole 11a- It's an uphill hyzer to an open area. The appoach shot was a 250 ft very tight hyzer to a well tucked basket. You will need to put your drive in the right spot to have any run at the basket.

Hole 13- I have a love/hate for this hole. It seems so simple, but it beat me up both times I played it. We were playing in a right to left cross wind at about 20 mph and it made the tee shot extremely difficult. The hole looks so easy, yet it beat me up pretty good.

Cons:

There are a couple of places where you do have to go back across another hole. Just beware and it's not really a problem.

Other Thoughts:

This is a course that offers just about everything. When you stand on each of the tees, you can see what needs to be done. There are no real tricks or gimmicks to the holes. I have never played a course that seemed more open, but yet you HAD to work the disc to score well. This course frustrated me like very few have, but I would play it again anytime. You can see the work that has been put into the course. The holes are extremely well thought out and the maint. was top notch. This place is truly a gem.

Best in the region! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Seviren Lang is a jewel in the Louisville region, with variety, big D, woods, elevations, and challenges galore to impress disc golfers of all skill levels. It is a competition caliber course from the longs, and the short tees are fun for the mid-level player to really enjoy what they've got here. The locals are friendly and helpful, and even the deer just put on a show, rather than get in your way.

The disc golf course exists as a separate entity within a park that has other features (there was a kid's event going on in the front of the park the last time I played here), but I didn't pay much attention: I look forward to the course so much each time! It has decent sized concrete tee pads, and small flypad tees on many of the holes. I saw two or more tees on 1, 2, & 6 through 18. The signage is great, and next tee signs are plentiful where needed. Logs are used for seating on many holes, and trash and maintenance is excellent. There are even pads at the base of each basket to minimize damage to your discs!

Course flow is well thought out for safety, parking and shelters are abundant, and there are restrooms on site. The alternate tees on holes 9, 10, 11, 13, 16 & 17 make the holes completely different. You will use every shot in your bag, but you are not overly likely to lose a disc at Seviren Lang because of the upkeep, and you only come near a creek bed a couple of times. In all, there are too many positives to list: great course!

Cons:

There aren't a whole lot of negatives, unless you really would prefer a water hazard, or want 10,000 feet of throws or something. Maybe the fact that you do a little loop for holes 7 & 8 gets to some folks? My only negative is that this one isn't in my home town...

Other Thoughts:

Played here twice now (longs and shorts), and loved the course both times. If you're traveling near here, I highly recommend a round!

Pros:

Great course with wide open fairways with some technical shots. It also flows very well.

Cons:

There really aren't to many bad things about this course. That being said, I wish it was in my back yard... its far from home for me

Other Thoughts:

If you are in the area it only makes sense to stop here and give it a try. You won't be sorry that you did!

Really, one of the best. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

First off, I'm going to talk about the aesthetics.
+Maybe this was just because of a fresh cut, but the course looked amazing. The grass was just mowed, trees were trimmed, rough was trimmed back.
+Bridges have been put in key locations. When I got into the woods, the fairways were very clean, free of debris.
+The tee signs are amazing. Adam Embrey is the course co-designer and also did the graphics. They really look phenomenal. They show a very accurate representation of the hole layout as well as distances, pars, etc.
+Speaking of the tee signs, I noticed that many (if not all, I wasn't planning on reviewing the course so I was not paying attention to every detail) had buckets for trash attached to the pole. It's a subtle touch that can really go a long way.
+DGA Mach V's. Great baskets. Enough said.
+Course has concrete tee pads for all the long pads and rubber mats for the shorter, alternate pads.
+I saw water fountains, but I did not use them. I am assuming they work since they appeared to be clean and in good shape.
+There is a nice course information sign as you come into the park (this will also be addressed in the cons, but a negligible con).
+Red signs point you to the next hole. Navigation on this course is so easy already, these just make it that much better.

Okay, now the layout.
+As I stated earlier, the course has everything. As far as championship caliber courses go, this is as good as it gets. It's a very challenging course that is also very fun. I'd say outside of Flyboy, this is the most fun I have had on a championship course. I'm not going to get into the specifics of each hole, but believe me, it has everything. Seviren Lang will really test a player's complete skill set.
Here are a few holes that really stand out to me:
+Hole 2 is a short par 4 in the woods that doglegs right after about 200'. If you get to the dogleg, a well placed touch shot will put you in position for a birdie 3. The basket is well guarded by guardian trees, so finesse and accuracy are crucial.
+Hole 6 is a 1011' par 5. The hole plays along a right-to-left downward slope the entire length. At the bottom of the hill is heavy rough and out of bounds. A well placed set of trees at the 800' point puts an emphasis on late accuracy.
+Hole 9 is a tough par 3. You tee off at the top of a hill through a tight tunnel. At the bottom of the hill, the fairway takes a 45 degree turn to the right with the basket being in the tree line with an OB creek behind.
+Hole 12 is a 300+ TIGHT downhill tunnel shot with the basket placed across a ditch at the bottom. Guardian trees near the basket and OB all over the place make this hole a very tough 2.
+Hole 16 is a par 4 that requires accuracy and placement if you want to score well. A tight right side forces you to work hard to place a shot that you want to finish in the middle right. If you pull off a great drive, your upshot will want to split an opening in a line of cedar trees. You hit that gap, and you have a chance at a birdie 3.

Cons:

No course is perfect, so here are a few cons.
-The flow in a few spots is a little weird.
-To get to hole 1's tee area, you have to cross the fairway of hole 18.
-After you finish hole 8, you have to double back between holes 6 & 7 to get to hole 9's tee pad.
-On hole 11, you have to double back across the fairway to get to hole 12.
-Another small con was the fact that the course information sign is located between holes 9 & 10. The numbers have been changed since the course was originally designed, what is now hole 10 used to be hole 1. It's really not a big deal; just a little weird.

I guess there aren't benches everywhere? Not a big deal, but it may be to some people.

Other Thoughts:

That's my review of Seviren Lang. This course is awesome. If you are remotely in the area, make a point to play it.

I played this course on 6/5/2013. I had played it before they changed the hole numbers. I'm not sure why I hadn't realized how great of a course this was before.

I definitely put it in the top 10% of courses I have played, maybe in the top 5. It has everything. Ace Runs, a 1000' par 5, tight woods, long open shots, hyzers, anhyzers, great placement holes.

On a side note, I was playing well until I got to hole 10. After that, my feelings were really hurt.

Great job Adam & Martin for designing such a stellar course.

Seviren is a beauty just across the river from Louisville 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 28, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Seviren Lang is a product of multiple revisions, tinkering, and love.

The New Albany/Floyd County parks department has done a fantastic job helping with upkeep around the park and every week when the course gets mowed it rivals the best looking courses anywhere in the country.

The course offers a great shot selection, big open holes, narrow fairways, elevation changes, placement shots, tricky pin placements, and more.

This course is the largest course in the greater Louisville area. One par 5, and five par 4s, and as for the rest of the coures there are no gimme 3's.

Now that the majority of the course layout is set, the course is going through numerous improvements and added amenities. The addition of benches for nearly every hole, landscaping and improved basket placements, erosion control efforts, and improved signage are all ongoing projects.

If you want to work on any aspect of your game this course offers holes for you to do just that. Big bombs, finesse distance, rollers - you got it. Flippy hyzer midranges, touch flicks, overhand shots, its there. Need to just focus on putting uphill, downhill, wind - you will find that this course offers challenges hole after hole.

Cons:

Im biased. Adam and I designed and dreamed up this place. We wanted to provide a proving ground for disc golfers, that offered players aspects of the game no other local course could.

I love Seviren. I spend far too much time thinking about what can be done out there next. I am always open to suggestions - let me know - what you love, what you hate.

Other Thoughts:

Seviren Lang will be one of the primary courses used for the US Masters this year. I welcome all of you Master players to Southern Indiana and Louisville. I am psyched for the chance to have players from all over the country come and take on this gem of a course.

The Best Course in Louisville area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A great mix holes, elevation changes, wooded holes, tunnels, and open holes. Well marked tees and baskets, Concrete pro tees, and even a course map by hole one.

Cons:

Really the only con about this course is the mosquitoes and ticks, which can be extremely thick, and if you don't layer yourself in bug spray you will be eaten alive. My bag was completely covered in mosquitoes instantly after I sat it on the ground, and if you don't wear bug spray you will find hundreds if not thousands of mosquitoes swarming you making it impossible to play. Hole 5's pro tee is still under water, I understand it is getting fixed though.

Other Thoughts:

This course is well maintained, difficult to play, yet still open enough that beginners can get the feel for the sport. Beside the bug problem this is what a disc golf course is suppose to be. I have to say after spending a week playing in Georgia the Louisville Disc Golf club does a great job with the local courses, great signs and tees, great courses and great maintenance. I spent two days on a course in Georgia that had two 18 courses side by side and not a single tee marked, most holes didin't even have a sign directing you to the next tee, thanks LDGC for the amazing job you do with the local courses.

Possibly the best???? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I need to go ahead and get my opinion out of the way.... this is the best course in the Louisville area. Now, let's review :)

The pro pads are concrete with excellent signage. So far this year the grass has stayed mowed and the fairways have stayed clear (not bad for a free course). The parks department has done a great job with the park and it always looks immaculate. There are bridges that pass over the water/muddy areas and anytime work needs to be done to pads/fairways, it gets done quickly. The layout of the course circles the entire park and takes full advantage of everything the property has to offer. There is a great mix of shots and no hole is a gimme. My favorite thing about this course is that all the holes play and feel like golf holes and not just novelty holes.

Cons:

There are a few things that I think need to be worked out with this course that really don't effect the overall presentation of the course itself.
First, the Am/Womens pads are still rubber and in my opinion are placed in such a way that they do not help to level out the playing field at all and in some cases they can actually make the hole harder. As many people already know hole 5's pad has sunk into the depths of the creek. I know this will be fixed when it dries out but I still need to mention it. Because of the removal of the brush, hole 12 can be a mud pit after a good rain. Not sure that this can be fixed.
Mosquitoes!!! (and ticks) Bring the OFF!
Once the lake drains this problem will not be so bad.

Other Thoughts:

The course is long but time will fly by when you play here. I have had many multiple game days at this course and I can't get enough of it. This course has tons of personality and every hole can make or brake your round. I hope you enjoy this course as much as I do. Good job to the designers/creators.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 3, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Thanks to a complete redesign that occurred around Thanksgiving 2010, this is now a very challenging, fun par 61 course.

The course flows very well and there are minimal walks between holes. Maps are usually available in the mailbox attached to the bulletin board by hole 1. There are 2 sets of pads, the long pads are concrete and the short pads are rubber mats. Nice looking tee signs are on every hole that list the distance from both pads and have a hole diagram. Water is available on the course three places. On the front (street) side of the red barn shelter between the two doors, by the shelter near hole 13 and by hole 16 next to the restroom (white building), but it is turned off in the winter. The tee pads are all brand new, 10ft long and in great condition. There are black mats under most of the baskets to keep grass from growing up next to them and deter the mowers for hitting them.

The land was used to its fullest extent so you'll find elevation changes on many of the holes and a number of tough putting greens. The course has a good balance of long bombs, short technical shots, placement shots, hyzers and anhyzers. Even though some of the holes are short, you aren't going to find any gimmies here.



Here's how the course breaks down from a RHBH perspective:

Hole 1 - A nice short opening hole with a challenging drop away putting green.

Hole 2 - This is the first of many par 4's. Your first drive is up a big hill with some trees shortly off the tee to avoid. The more your shot hyzers out, the more difficult your next shot will be. Once at the top of the hill the fairway gets narrower and the basket is on a downhill slops in a tree lined tunnel.

Hole 3 - A short and straight downhill tunnel shot that opens up at the basket. The drainage area on the left by the basket is OB so don't hyzer out too much.

Hole 4 - This par 4 starts out with a big, slightly uphill, turnover shot. Placement is important, if your disc hyzers out it can make the next shot more difficult or trap you behind a clump of trees. The next shot is a big hyzer around the clump of trees, but there is a small turnover alley with OB on the left if your initial drive is too far left.

Hole 5 - This hole is wide open and flat until you get to the basket. It's perched on top of a hill with that drops off behind the basket. The hill is very narrow, maybe 4 feet wide on top, so a missed putt can easily go down the hill on the other side. This is a very dangerous putting green.

Hole 6 - This is a straight tunnel shot that opens up near the basket. Hyzer off before the basket you'll find yourself down a good sized hill.

Hole 7 - This par 4 starts out with a drive up to two large clumps of pine trees. Keep your disc in the open to avoid adding on strokes. The second shot is a slightly uphill hyzer to the basket.

Hole 8 - This downhill tunnel shot has the basket straight ahead of you begging for an ace run. The problem is it's narrow enough an errant drive can easily turn into a bogie.

Hole 9 - This par 4 starts off with a big drive to a landing zone. Hyzer out before the landing zone and you could be in trouble, turn your drive over and you're OB in the road on the right. The second shot goes into a tight wooded tunnel on the left and the basket is up a small hill tucked in on the right.

Hole 10 - This short hole has a very narrow fairway that opens up slightly as you get close to the basket that's protected with a small clump of trees.

Hole 11 - This 339 foot par 4 can reward a birdie as easily as it punish you with a bogie. The narrow fairway curves ever so slightly to the right and seems to get even tighter before it opens up to a small landing zone. The next shot is a turnover that weaves through more trees before opening up to the putting green. Accuracy is definitely needed here!

Hole 12 - The basket is almost directly in front of you but it is so close to the rough on the right you need a slight hyzer to stay away from the rough on the right. If you can do that and get past the narrow gap of trees shortly off the tee you'll have a look at a birdie.

Hole 13 - This short, uphill hole has two distinct routes to the basket that go around a clump of pine trees. Don't go long, the property boundary is OB shortly behind the basket.

Hole 14 - This hole can be deceiving. It's a downhill hyzer shot into a narrow tunnel with a large pine tree on the left side. From the tee it looks like that pine is in the middle of the gap and you can go on either side of it. Go around the right side of the tree, only the luckiest shots make it on the left. The fairway turns at such an angle you almost need a spike hyzer to get it in there right.

Hole 15 - From the tee, you can see the basket between the two trees 1011 feet away! Stay away from the rough on the left. It sounds easy but there's a steady downhill off the tee allowing your shot to hyzer out more than you might think.

Hole 16 - This downhill shot has the basket protected in a line of mature pine trees. If your disc hyzers off or turns over, it's easy to find yourself in the pine trees with no shot at the basket.

Hole 17 - This uphill bomb is wide open... except for one tree right on the line you want to put your hyzer shot on. The basket is on a big, uphill slope so watch for roll aways.

Hole 18 - This challenging hole starts out with a tight downhill fairway. At the bottom it opens up into a field and turns right slightly and the basket is tucked into the trees on the left. If you try to run at the basket and hyzer out you can easily go OB over the fence.

Cons:

Rubber mats are used for the short pads but they are surprisingly grippy. I've never once slipped on them or seen anyone else slip on them after 2 years of use during leagues before we got concrete pads. Not all of them are on flat ground which does make your run up more difficult.

The rough can get pretty thick in the summer with vines and thorns. A lot of it was thinned out last fall so hopefully it won't be as bad this summer.

After the 1000 ft hole 15, you can see 18's tee before you see hole 16. Hole 16 is up the hill by the shelter to your right. The red directional sign behind hole 15's basket points you in the right direction.

The course could use a few benches and that's something we're going to work on in the spring.

Other Thoughts:

The land here lends itself to disc golf very well and this course takes advantage of it. I highly recommend going out of your way to play here!
