Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays through a small, flat area with mature trees and a little bit of brushy rough around the edges of the course. A few holes bring the brush into play, making for a little bit of risk/reward. Most of the holes use the trees available creatively to make some interesting holes. For such a small area, the design doesn't cross over itself and doesn't have any major conflicts between holes. The baskets are in good shape and catch well, they seemed to be pretty new. The tees are natural, but were in good shape and not rutted out yet. There are markers for all tees with hole number, and it's easy to figure out where to throw and where to walk. There is a course map posted, though it's not all that difficult a layout to figure out.

Cons:

The course is short and very straightforward. It doesn't offer any real challenges, the lines are generous and easy to hit, and there isn't enough distance to add any challenge. There is hardly any punishment for bad shots on the majority of the holes. The tees are natural, and are only in good shape due to the lack of traffic, they were starting to wear and will end up pretty bad if they're not taken care of. The course plays across a gravel road and a gravel path, it can chew up your discs pretty good. The last hole plays across the parking lot, parking is short as it is and you don't want to park in that area if you value your windows.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great beginner course, with reasonable distances and not much punishment for inaccurate shots. There are enough trees to make a new player try some different lines, but not enough to make it frustrating. More experienced throwers will find the course very easy and straightforward, without enough challenge or variety to make it worth multiple trips. It's not a bad quick stop if you're in the area, but definitely don't go out of your way for this one.
