This is a wide open course, except for one hole, on a college campus. I suppose that it was designed as a beginner course but, overall sort of fails at that goal IMO due to the selection of distances and openness.

The first hole is a wide open shot to a basket in a field with no real obstacles. The second hole is the same, there are a few trees, and it's a downhill shot, but there's no real obstacles. The third hole is just a basket out in the middle of a field. The fourth hole requires a right turning shot into a slot in the woods and is a decent disc golf hole. Hole six is also a right turning shot, but is otherwise wide open. What's left is just throwing to unguarded baskets at various distances.

Navigation, without a map would be challenging. But the course map is adequate for you to find your way.

This isn't a challenging course and is a poor course from the standpoint of experienced players due to its sheer openness. As a beginner course, some of the holes are just too long. The wide open hole 7 really stands out here. There's no good reason to have wide open holes with no trees at all that are that long. Maybe the water to the right of the fairway comes in to play at times, but you'd really have to screw up to get close to it. Hole 6 is really too long for beginners as well.

To be fair, the designer didn't have much to work with in these two open fields separated by a roadway, but there was some unused real estate that apparently could have been used to make a few challenging holes. As it is, this course plays like 6 baskets out in an open field, one downhill throw and one decent disc golf hole.

This is the most open course that I have ever played. I thought about obstacles on exactly one hole.

If you are a beginner trying to develop your distance, a traveler who just wants to bag a course or are just bored, you might want to give this course a try. Otherwise, skip it for the much better and nearby Woodland Creek course.

The tees are concrete and the baskets are yellow Discatchers.

Hole 2 has a fun shot off the parking lot to a basket below.

This is the only hole with much elevation.

Tee pads are concrete. They aren't overly long and are thin, but they get the job done.

The campus is nice enough, but the wooded areas and landscaping really don't come into play.

The biggest pro was that the course was empty. I saw one other player here and virtually no other people even on campus. I did see three deer, but they let me play through.

All the holes except 5-7 play in an open area and have virtually no obstacles. Holes 6 and 7 have two long anhyzer routes that force you to navigate around some trees.

There isn't much variety here. Most of the holes are in the 300-foot range, and the 5-7 holes are longer. So there aren't many ace runs for most players, but not much challenge either. I'm not sure who this course is designed for. It's a lot of rather dull shots.

Hole 1 starts in a really odd spot, not near the parking lot or the main road. I'd just start on hole 2 or 4.

It looks like there is a good amount of property here that could support a solid 9-hole course and maybe more. Unfortunately, the most boring part of the campus is the feature of the course.

SMA is an open field course on a private college. Parking in the main lot near the DGC is permitted as long as it's not between the hours of 8am and 5pm, Monday through Friday. The course is easy to find and navigate and you can see most of the baskets and tee pads from the car. Hole one is actually down a little hill and then throws back up to where you just walked from which is a little strange. Tee pads are just dirt (worn in grass) with little wood planks indicating the end of the pad. Gotta love the newer Innova DISCatcher baskets, single chain style.

The course is on a mostly wide open piece of property and there isn't much excitement or challenge other than throwing around a small tree near the basket with infinite space on either side. Most of the holes are reachable with one shot except for the par four 7th. Just a lot of 'blah' here.

Nothing new, strange, exciting or interesting just a bunch of baskets in a field for the most part. Skip this and head on over to Woodland Creek Community and play some fun tight short holes in the forest there. This is strictly for students and course baggers.
