Pros:
1) One of my favorite settings for disc golf . . . pine trees, with pine needles covering the ground (keeps weeds away because of the acidity) an it also softens your walk, but it still allows for skip shots too). I knew as soon as I drove in I would going to enjoy this course and it did not disappoint.
2) Scenery and the natural feeling of the course is just awesome. I really enjoyed my walk through the woods let alone the golf course.
3) There is some decent use of elevation on this course on a handful of holes. These small elevation changes also really come into play with skip shots and you really need to consider how your disc will finish its flight.
4) Nice concrete tees, alternate long tees are not concrete, just natural but there is also nothing marking the "long" tees so they might be slightly "unofficial".
5) Distance and Hole # on 4x4 posts next to the tees.
6) The additional 3 holes are excellent and greatly add to the variety of this course. All three of the holes bring water into play and there would have been no water if these holes were not added.
7) Nice shot shaping required on this course, where you need to go both directions and you also need to alter your height on a few of the holes to avoid the trouble spots.
8) Bathrooms and other park activities are available here.
Cons:
1) Sandy soil can play inconsistent where you might skip in one area and you might dig into the soft sandy soil in others.
2) The course plays right along a walking path that seems to be well travelled . . . with runners, roller bladers, walkers, and just general park users. This is dangerous and should be considered when throwing your discs.
3) Garbage in a few spots on this course.
4) Compaction and erosion are definitely an issue here because there is almost no ground-cover on most of the course . . . just pine needles (which I mention as a positive).
5) Signage is completely missing on this course and would be really helpful especially with a re-design.
Other Thoughts:
What an exciting drive in to this course and an even better feeling while playing. It challenges you, it throws elevation changes at you, heavy tree area, water comes into play on 3 holes and is just plain fun to throw shots here. Just as enjoyable as the golf course is the scenery and the natural feeling of this course. It really feels like you are in the middle of the woods even though you are within a few hundred feet of a heavily populated lake park.
I gave this a 3.0 rating but I consider it to be at the top of the 3.0 rating like 3.25 because I had a lot of fun and enjoyed myself which is how I rate courses. If I was passing through I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this place even though the erosion and compaction are bad, there is garbage in a few spots on the course. It is simply beautiful and fun to play.
