Better and better II 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 6, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well designed paths and targets.
Interesting layouts.
Maintained quite well.
Birdie opportunities.
Twenty gallon pails at many tees for trash.
First hole is now playable, due to extreme clearing.

Cons:

Tees are mud or grass.

Other Thoughts:

I am biased. Home course. The first hole is now a fun par 3. #2 is a difficult par 3. Course tends to open up and play fluidly. Golfers are respecting trash cans. Right now, with the mud, every throw is a standing throw - no run up. Elves are building tee pads and benches. New signs at tees are clear. Old signs are still confusing. I'm yet to ace 13, today a birdie. Short course, 1 hr 15 min. I'll reach 100 rounds this year.

Nice short but fun course

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 16, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- short course can be played quickly if in a hurry
- almost every hole requires a certain line which can makes this course a challenge despite being short
- several short holes that are possible birdies or aces
- bathrooms on site at parking lot
- separate parking area that you can use if you only want to play back 9 (which plays faster than front 9)
- while there are no "wow" holes, the holes are varied and interesting
- navigation of course is good, it can be navigated fairly well without a map or directional signs as long as you know #10 starts across the road from #9 by the pond
- not much time is spent looking for discs except for Hole #9
- multiple basket placements (which aren't changed all that much)
- while course is mostly wooded there are some relatively open holes which provide a little more freedom (4 holes to be exact #7,9,10,11)
- not a lot of people to contend with or wait for while playing disc golf- non disc golf use of the park does not interfere with the course except for the occasional dog walker which doesn't really affect your round. Also watch for cars by hole#10
- on most holes there are arrows pointing to the next hole

Cons:

- not the best tee pads. You can still be driving in water\mud especially during the spring and especially on the front 9.
- no amazing holes
- not much use of elevation. Hole #11 is the only hole with elevation

Other Thoughts:

This course while not having any amazing features can be quite fun to play especially if in a hurry. Lately the Rochester disc golf club and the college students have been taking more interest in the course. They have put in tee pads clearly defining where the tees are. The new tee at hole #10 has made the pond more of a factor in your decision for your drive. You can still pretty easily go around the water but there is a definite reward for going over. The club and college have been making those little changes which make the course more enjoyable. In the past this course had a pretty bad reputation but now it is a fun little course to play.

Better Than Expected 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 31, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Optional Mandos, mix of shot types, good introduction to tournament style courses with an optional Island Green hole. Some wooded holes, other more open holes.

Several different course design tricks like guarded baskets and elevated baskets make different techniques necessary.

Pretty good signage, arrows pointing to next tees and tee signs. The signs could actually show a map or something, but they're a lot better than nothing.

Cons:

Hole might be as bad as everybody says, but I played with some locals and apparently nobody actually PLAYS hole 1.

Is that good course design? No. Should it be fixed? Probably. Does it really affect the casual round when you're just going to check out a course? No!

Just do like the locals, play basket 9 from somewhere near the parking lot, basket 2 is just a VERY short walk behind basket 9 in that direction, and the course flows great this way.

The only other thing I don't like is on the actual hole 9 there's not a lot of places to avoid going in the rough, there's a 6' wide path between a ton of prickers and tall grasses, and not a good bailout around the outsides.

Other Thoughts:

I think this course is actually pretty cool, but I can see why a lot of people don't like it.

I don't think it deserves such a low score, but I think people are unwilling to bend the rules for casual play. Let's be perfectly clear here, there is no umpire in the bushes with a whistle that is going to kick you out if you miss a mando. Nobody's going to beat you with a stick or fine you for not following the island green rule.

Just play the game to have fun, play the course the way you want to, and you'll have an enjoyable round on this at times challenging but never truly unfair course.

This desrves better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 3, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are a lot of realy nice woods shots and it is realy layed out nice. the holes were well marked and easy to find. (short of the first) 16 read the sign there is a very interesting manditory that is a fun spin on that hole if your willing and skillful enough to try it

Cons:

the first hole is the most discouraging hole i have ever played. I played in eairly june and it was so saveirly over grown just use a mid range short all of your shots so you can keep it on the fairway after that your free and clear to let loose and throw your brains out, on 17 i would not sugest trying for the basket with a dx because the basket is on a pile of rocks that if you hit hard enough you will break a disk.

Many Trees need accuracy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 15, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Accuracy is the name of the game at times and this course demands it.A very good course to play all your shots. Thumbers and Tomahawks a must.

Cons:

Hole # 1... have skipped this hole more times than we can count. Has become custom to play 2-18 and then throw at #19as a 3.(Practice basket) from outside of basket of 18. If your off your game a little you could have a long day. Tees can be a little rough at times.As this is my home course I wanted to get a drive together to bring cement tees to this course, But until work is completed on hole #9 and #10 it wouldn't make much sense as I cant see the Tees current placement remaining

Other Thoughts:

This course continues to be a work in progress. and even more so now. It looks like there will be more work needed as it looks like there will be construction through the ninth Hole and a road is being put in from new student housing area that is splitting Hole #10
