Crazy Train of a course 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:May 28, 2018
Played the course:once
Pros:
This is the most bizarre course I have played to date (57 courses). I am as always thankful when a church decides to build a course on their private property.
I had some fun out on the big open holes, testing out some different kinds of drives.
The tee signs are very useful.
I'm trying here but I think I'm out of pros...

Cons:
Baskets placed VERY close to fences, in a pic nic area, buildings with windows, a garden- I mean pretty much every basket has a hazard near by if not on your way.
Fairways cross but I don't think it will be a problem unless more than two groups are out there.
The tee signs are faded, or broken, but still readable.
The PARS. OH MAN. The pars are crazy high here. Everything over 300' is called a par 5. I know there's a bazillion page thread on this site about what "par" should be, but let's just say I should NEVER be 18-20 under par on after one round on any course. I feel embarrassed by having those "eagles" in my stats and may go back to edit them soon.
EDIT: I forgot to say that the map and the tee's and the course info page all reference a snow cone stand, but there is no snow cone stand. You can kind of tell where it used to be, but not until you see a tee sign. So just know that going in and you'll be better off.
Here's the biggest thing- There are 9 baskets with two "holes" to each of them. You play 1-9, end up back where you started, and then play 10-18 either teeing from somewhere different, or throwing to a different basket, but follow mainly the same course. It took me a bit to figure out, but

Other Thoughts:
when I was at hole 14 or something and thinking to myself, "this is the most freakin' bizarre course I have ever played," the most fitting thing happened: from the neighborhood behind me comes the song Crazy Train as played by what I assume was a newly high school student on tuba. The best of the bizarre sounding instruments to hear while playing disc golf.
Interpreting the different tee areas from the signs, and to which basket you're throwing can be a little tricky sometimes. But if i could do it, I'm sure you can too.
