Great beginner course, good for practice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 6, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is an excellent course for beginners. Not many obstacles to make it easy to get use to how to play. Tees are paved and have good signage. The holes are shorter distances.

Also, very good for more advanced players to practice on their aiming and short game.

The course is very well maintained. Grass is kept nice and short. Little to no garbage laying around. If signs are missing or broken, they are replaced fairly quickly.

Cons:

For more advanced players, the holes are a bit too short and easy.

short, open, easy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

course is made for beginners

well maintained and a great place to take kids along to

all holes have good teepads and signs

Cons:

extremely short and open

2 holes have minor trees in the way, other than that it is point and shoot and then tap it in for an easy birdie

not much for elevation except one gentle slope

Other Thoughts:

beginner course that is nice to have in the neighborhood, but is nothing worth traveling to

D+ = Doesn't have much happenin' for a 9 holer 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 7, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == D
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I throw 300' accurately, 360' max. == D+
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == D+
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == C-
5) Bonus points for multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == N/A

Other Thoughts:

It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (125 18-hole, 64 9-hole as of mid 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.

Over time, I expect to fill some of my reviews in with more descriptive verbiage...if what I can add anything to what has already been written. For now, my list is more important to me than the verbiage of my reviews.

I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

family course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 13, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a very beginner course where novice disc golfers can practice.

The signs, teepads, and pins are in good condition.

This course is open for winter, which is nice since most of the courses in the area close for at least part of the winter months

Cons:

There are about 6 trees as obstacles on the entire course. All of the holes are less than 240 feet. Nothing too complicated...or too fun for non beginner golfers

Other Thoughts:

This course was designed to be a family oriented, beginner course. That is exactly what it is. It almost seems too easy, if I was just starting disc golf I think I would want at least a few more challenges than this course has to offer.

Don't expect anything from this 9 holer - unless you're just beginning disc golf and need an easy course to help practice.

begin away... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 27, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

-decent signage
-nice cement tee pads
-new baskets

Cons:

-nine holes(given)
-nothing technical
-open pin placements
-short

Other Thoughts:

A nice little nine hole course in a community park in Germantown. Not much to really write about. All holes are between 180 and 230. Bring a mid range and a putter. All nine holes are straight shots with the exception of hole 1 where you have to slightly bend it around a tree or two.

This is the epitamy of a beginners course. Set up for a quick play(did it in under 20) and a place to teach and/or practice. It is in pretty good shape and shouldn't be mistaken for a poorly maintained course, because it's not. Kudos for the people who got this little setup in a community park where there was previously only open fields and a baseball diamond.

Beginner Friendly, Wide Open 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 14, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a true beginner course. There aren't many challenges to get in your way. If you want to do some practice of grip it and rip it its perfect (IF YOU DONT THROW IT 300-400 because it is fairly short), if you want to practice your puttin and approach shots its perfect.

Course is open in the winter which is a bonus!

Has tee signs.

#1 is the best hole because it has a narrow run of trees on either side and you have a ceiling forcing you to keep the disc low.

Cons:

Not enough challeneges. They could have used a few more obstacles in their favor I think, because even though it may just be a beginners course, they should have some challenges.

Nothing too technical.

Really only 3 holes with any obstacles in play, however, I would expect multiple run ins with people in the summer as the course winds through and around a baseball field, exercise areas, and just a general open field in the park.

Unfortunately: they cut down some of the key features on this course . . . the apple tree behind #3 basket and the low evergreen shrubs in the middle of #9 fairway . . . it helped to create a tight window (vertical) because of the low hanging branches. There still is some interest on the course but i am unsure of why these things were removed.

Other Thoughts:

This is a beginner course and can be fun to play . . . i still have not gotten the elusive (-9) but I will some day soon!
