KUDOS to those individuals who recently upgraded this course. It is apparent from the redesign that the locals really care for this course and the challenge it brings to the sport.

Length and difficulty of long tees!! These new (apparently redesigned) tees are pleasantly challenging. Shoot par here and you'll really feel like a pro!! Some courses add tee variation on a whim - not here - you'll need skill and distance to score well from pro tees at Sontag.

Signage is above average and improving.

HUGE!! tee pads are largest tees I've seen of over 40 courses.
The tees in the woods holes are enormous, but field tees are low-impact timbers at ground level. Most tees are easy to find, though.

Beauty of landscape is way above average even on the day I visited when some overgrowth was in process of being mowed.

Rec. park is convenient to the highway with numerous amenities. Asset to the surrounding community; many locals were hiking, walking, pet-walking in the park and were friendly to the disc-golf aspect.

Benches and bathrooms at several locations.

All skill levels should enjoy this course.

Grab a map or someone who knows the new layout since it has been updated; or just be patient locating holes and tees - 90% are very well marked. (not really a con unless you are an impatient imbecile who is bad at reading/following directions, lol.)

Spiders and insects. To be expected, though, it is a wooded course.

Difficulty of three or four wooded holes may discourage the distance-challenged beginners. Some of these wooded holes have potential of becoming round-killers. Not sure what par is on all holes but definitely do not expect to reach each basket from the tee. (also not a con to some players who want their ability to be tested.)

Expect to play for two to three hours as this is a full-grown course.

Quite a drive (hour and a half) from where I live but cannot wait to replay the course. It is well worth the drive.

Reminds me of Charlotte, NC area courses or even has some similarities to the Jefferson, NC course.
