-Difficult course
-variety of hyzer/anhyzer holes
-clear lines on every hole, while still quite tight
-"local" paths (huge anny or huge hyzer) on some holes

-thorns
-thorns
-thorns
-some holes were boring short drive, short upshot, putt, too much of a designated landing area
-seems like 4,5,6 were added to make it 18, pretty boring and a long way from the rest of the course.

I found this course to be fun. I did get some thorn damage from some errant throws, but really the fairways are big enough to not deal with the thorns. In practice, i did fine, but during tourney, made many bad shots into the rough.
i felt it was a fair course, if you try to do too much, on the holes you'll pay for it in extra shots, and scrapes. Playing smart (mids and putters), will lead to much better scoring.
I want to make a trip to BG again, and this course will definitely be on my play list. Just wear long pants!!

Bowling Green Technical College features a tough par 62 course that'll surely satisfy the appetites of those who enjoy a challenge. It winds its way through a fairly thick wooded area with tight lines and plenty of places to get into trouble. The course puts a premium on placement shots and careful approaches to score well. A few relatively open holes offer relief from the woods while attempting to give some variety to the course. A couple of these allow you to air out your drives too. Overall, given the amount of time you'll spend in the woods, a surprising array of shot types will be used. You'll notice a good amount of hole types/shapes. Doglegs, sweeping shots, punch out's, punch in's, they're all here. Oh, and bring your utility discs too. Chances are you'll find yourself in some predicaments where you'll have to improvise when you get off the fairways.

The course is fairly easy to navigate with only a couple of trouble spots and a long walk between two of the holes. The "two loops of nine" design is nice and brings you right back to the parking lot on 9 and 18. An informational kiosk and map welcomes you to the course. Tee signs, concrete tees, and DisCatcher baskets compliment the course and are all in great shape.

The course is still being broken-in and has some cleaning up to do, especially outside the fairways. Add to that the long walk in the sun between 6 and 7 and that's the only big issues as far as I'm concerned. With that said, I'm sure there are those personal qualms people are likely to find on a course like this.

I thought this was a very fun and challenging course. I think it adds to a great disc golf city's variety of courses. It's an original for sure. If you are having an off day, be ready for the course to draw the back of its hand and slap you around a bit. If you're playing well you'll feel like you've accomplished something at the end of the round. This makes a great course for tournaments or casual competition with friends. On the other hand, this is not a course that would be ideal to introduce new players.

Even with all the classic courses in Bowling Green, this is definitely a course worth playing while you're in the area. Enjoy!

This course provides a different feel to the other courses in the area, with long technical holes that aren't really found on the surrounding courses. All but a handful of holes play through dense woods with very thick underbrush. You definitely pay for missing your line here, many spots will require pitching back out to the fairway if you get very far off. There are a few ace runs mixed in, with a few longer holes as well. There are a couple nice multi-shot holes where you have to hit a landing zone to set up a second shot.

I liked the variety of lines here, you will use just about all the shots and discs in your bag. A few holes offered overhands or rollers as the best chance for getting to the hole without forcing those shots exclusively. The course felt pretty balanced between right and left turning shots, with early and late turning fairways to mix things up. There are nice concrete tees throughout, and the signage has hole distance and layout. The course returns to the parking lot after 9, always a nice bonus.

The hole maps on the signs were inaccurate in many cases, showing a completely different fairway shape than what is actually there. That can get a little frustrating with lots of longer blind holes that you end up having to scout despite having seemingly high quality signs. There is a very long unmarked walk all the way across campus in the middle of the course, a small sign by basket 6 telling you where to go would make it a little easier on first time players. The parking lots come into play a few times, and I felt that mandos were a little over used throughout the course.

The biggest thing keeping me from bumping this course up a half disc is just the newness of the course. There is still a lot of cut down brush on the edges of the fairway, and the rough is quite gnarly even just off the fairway. With a little more traffic, recovery shots will be possible on narrowly missed drives, and the deeper rough will still provide harsh punishment for worse shots. I look forward to playing it after it breaks in and updating my review.

I really enjoyed the tests this course provides, especially in contrast to the other courses around. Advanced players will need to bring a solid set of shots, and accurate drives and upshots to score well here. Beginners will likely be frustrated by the tightness and length of the holes combined with the harsh punishment off the fairways.

The Bowling Green Technical course provides a challenging, but fair, par62 layout with a good balance between what the other courses in this area have to offer. Here is how the course breaks down...

Course Essentials:
-Baskets: Single Position Innova DISCatcher baskets, brand new.
-Tee Pads: Single position concrete pads on all holes, adequate size and good grip.
-Signs: Tee signs in place on all holes. The signs indicate hole layout, length, and par.

Course Design & Layout:
-Fairways: Mix of semi-open and semi-technical fairways. Fairways are defined and easy to navigate.
-Elevation: Minimal elevations are present throughout the course.
-Length: 6,310ft total (351avg/hole): 5@<300ft, 6@300-350ft, 1@350-400ft, 5@400-450ft, 1@500+

Course Description:
The course layout is comprised of two 9-hole loops that each return to the main parking area. Flow throughout the course is smooth and uninterrupted with the exception of the long walk between Holes 5&6. Holes 3-6 play through open fields with a few scattered trees to work around, while holes 1, 2, and 7-18 play through thick woods that surround the campus.

I agree completely with bjreagh on the length and shape of the fairways through the wooded section of the course, this is what really makes BG Tech different from the rest of the courses in the area. With the narrow, tree-lined fairways, you really have to work the disc to keep it in the short grass and out of the thick rough. There is good variety throughout the course that includes throwing from an open tee into the woods through a gap (and vice versa), gentle right/left fairways, sharp doglegs (hyzer/anhyzer), and placement/strategy type holes. There are no drastic elevations, mostly minimum changes as you navigate the course, but the elevations are used effectively in course design to provide additional variety in the layout and aesthetics.

BG Tech will provide ample challenge for all levels of play. I am an intermediate level player who throws around 300ft-325ft, and I think this course sets up perfectly for this level of play (890-920 rated or so). Hitting these narrow fairways is critical because the rough is thick, especially with the cleared trees and brush off to the sides, miss your line and you'll have to work to save par, there are no gimmies or easy outs through the wooded section of the course. The ability to control your disc and shape your lines is important for scoring low, there are no wide open grip and rip type holes on the course.

Navigation: The course is pretty straight-forward and easy to follow. The biggest issue is getting from Hole 5 to Hole 6. You are basically going to go left from #5's basket down the main road of the campus and follow it to the end, you'll see the sign and tee for #6. For the most part, then next tee is visible from the previous basket, otherwise you'll see a worn path and/or signs leading you in the right direction.

Maintenance: A lot of work has gone into getting the course in shape for the recent grand opening. The grass in the newer areas of the course is coming in nicely, fairways are clear, and all the tees/signs in place. Still some excess brush off the fairways from where they've been cleared, but all in all, the course is in good shape.

-There is a parking lot to the right of several holes (3,6,14,15) where it is possible to throw into the parking area, especially hole 15. The tee here is set up as to almost force a hyzer shot (RHBH) over the edge of the parking lot on the right side, a little grip-lock or accidental turnover shot could put you in the parking area.

-The lower areas of the course do not appear to drain very well, so I would expect some pretty sloppy conditions around these areas (basket on 10/16, tee on 11)

-A couple of areas where a stray drive could end up landing on/near an adjacent tee/basket. This is not real likely, but I think it's possible, so just wanted to mention it. I think the tee for #11 is in range from the #10 tee, and the #10 tee is in range from the #18 tee. My drive faded out on #18 and ended up pretty close to #10 tee. Also, the basket for #13 is definitely in range from the #7 tee. Again, it would take a shot that is quite a bit off-line in any of these situations, but I think it is worth mentioning.

-Multiple baskets visible in a couple areas, can possibly throw to wrong basket. This mostly applies to #15 where the basket for #2 is visible from the fairway on #15. If your tee shot doesn't go far enough down the fairway, it can be difficult to see the opening to #15 basket on the left side, but the #2 basket is visible and roughly the correct length to match the distance on the sign.

-No trash cans, water fountains, benches, or restrooms on the course as of now.

I mentioned earlier that I thought this course was a nice balance between the other courses in the area. There are shorter, more technical courses (Hobson/Preston), longer more open courses (Phil Moore/Franklin), and medium length courses that are somewhat technical, but still pretty open outside the suggested fairways (Kereiakes/Lover'sLane), then there is BG Tech. This course is a great length between Lovers Lane and Phil Moore with a technical aspect somewhere between Hobson and Kereiakes. This is a new course and still a little rough around the edges, but is on it's way to becoming one of the top courses in the area. The current average rating of this course is between a 3.5 and 4.0, which is a fair rating in my opinion. I think the layout is great, and the potential to be a 4.0 course is there, but it's not quite there yet. Definitely worth playing, so if you are coming to the area for some disc golf, put this one on your wish list!

The Tech School course provides a stern challenge to score well on a course that is unlike any other in Bowling Green. The tee pads are all large and very grippy even when wet. The baskets are new Innova chastity belt baskets that catch well and are easy to spot through the woods (when the leaves are off the trees). All fairways on the wooded holes are very well defined and I would highly recommend staying in them. Any shot more than arms' length off the fairway will cost you at least a stroke. In addition, multiple holes have scattered random trees still standing in the fairway and on the edge of the green that will keep you honest. The layout has a variety of shot shaping and forces a variety of shots to stay in the fairways and reach the green. Length and accuracy are the keys to having any chance at a birdie. All of the par fours are birdie-able but not without well placed shots and a hint of luck in places. With the thickness of the rough, none of the par threes are gimme birdies and may even sneak up on you for a bogie if you're not careful. The open holes (3-6) are mostly open with one crusher hole. All are placed with strategic trees that can swat your disc down before reaching the green, and all have OB to punish truly errant shots.

My biggest gripe about this course is the trees/underbrush that were cut to clear the fairways have not, for the most part, been cleared off the course. They have only been pushed to the sides of the fairway, making the edge of the rough that much thicker and walking into it nearly impossible. The rough itself is not a con for me, just the extra dead debris thrown into it. As part of the navigation issues, the walk between holes 5 and 6 is monstrous. You walk all the way through campus from in the front lawn to behind the back of all the buildings. Just guessing the distance but this is at least a thousand extra feet you have to walk with no golf. Don't think they took this into consideration in design but the drainage ditch that comes off the school campus goes directly behind number 14s basket. From there the water splits streams before going into the woods and runs a step in front of number 15s tee and the other stream goes right behind number 11s basket. With a minimal amount of grass in the fairways, these areas are going to stay very muddy and erode out. The other drainage issue is on number 6. All of the water flow off the surrounding parking lots goes right to the middle of 6's fairway and in between 6's basket and 7's tee. The basket isn't surrounded but anything in front, left of and behind the basket is going to get wet.

I'm rating it based on how it played today. Being that the course is on a Technical College campus, it is still playable even during class hours. The current parking lots have a surplus of spots compared to student cars so that shouldn't be a problem. The Tech course is a championship caliber course that requires a solid complete round to score well. Errant shots are punished and good shots are rewarded with the chance to have another good shot. This course is not for newer players or players easily frustrated with thick rough.
