Simple Review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 23, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

New 18 hole layout is amazing. Very fun course with all kinds of different types of holes. Big BOOM holes and also shorties.

Cons:

If you don't play with someone who knows the course, you will be lost.

Other Thoughts:

Andy Laws is a mad scientist with an amazing creative mind for courses. Simple Pleasures is a very challenging course that will physically challenge you also.

22 of life's Simple Pleasures 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 22, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very scenic mature forest, very diverse course which requires you to have every shot in the bag to score well. 23 acres of disc golf, no other activities besides farming type stuff will be in your way or distract you (some of the neighborhood dogs get kind of annoying from time to time). Great workout, the updated 22 hole layout is very well thought out in terms of diveristy of lines and elevation.. (6 up, 8 down, 7updown).. In more recent times, mainly due to the disc golf.boom thru the covid 19 pandemic, the amenities and equipment have been upgraded at SP. We now have 9 DGA Mach 5s in the layout and a number of teeboxs have been reworked with timbers, rock walls and gotten much longer and wider. The native landscaping and unique benches are an added plus, hopefully more to come. Unique plant communities in 2 distinct sections of the course. "Gym Light Holler aka the Fangone Forest" holes 7-13, and "The North Side" Holes 15-22

Cons:

The Landowners are on the verge of closing it down to all which is a huge con to even the designer folks, if you come please be respectful. Some teebox's are located in the fairway of either the previous or next hole, while I realize this would be a major flaw in the design of a crowded park style course it doesnt really come to mind at Simple Pleasures because if you are able to play the course you wont see any other groups out there, and you will have the entire fairway all to yourself, me and possibly midnight rider (R.I.P Posey Dog). Some teebox's are on the small side, I made them as my run-up worked so your's may not. Digging through clay not only causes major erosion but is quite difficult. I love concrete teepads but I simply dont have the money for them at the moment. Because my grandad insists on having cows and horses on my course (lol totally the other way around, because I owe him so much due to those cows) many holes cross a barbed wire fence that is keeping the cows in. I have installed a walk-thru and a ladder at two locations but it is still possible to have your shirt/pants ripped by a barb, keeping that in mind loose clothing may not be the best thing to be wearing when you play Simple Pleasures.
Along the newer additions to the course (holes 14-21) there are still many random prickley plants that will poke, stick and jab ya. Among the dreaded species present are Hawthornes, Japanese barberry, Rosa multiflora and wild raspberries (not a terrible thing for that late round crash however)
While the hole type is mixed throughout, overall all baskets are fairly consistent (besides #8, it can be finnicky). It is private and because I work in three different counties it is only open on the weekends and holidays basically, you never know tho I may want to take the day off so please reach out :). The footing, elevation and sidehill stances encountered throughout the course makes SP play quite challenging and has definitely made many ankles and knees sore the next day! Expect at least 2.5 miles of walking and about a 3 hour round playing at a good pace

Other Thoughts:

Donations are accepted and would be lovely so I can put the money back into the course. I have big ideas for this place but I will not be able to complete that goal without funding coming from somewhere
So with this essay stated.. please make some time to "Pleasure yourself Simply" on a well-manicured 21 hole course on a private farm :)
