Other Thoughts:
Hole 18 is psychologically challenging. Losing your disc over the steep ledge and into the lake is a serious possibility when shooting for the basket.
This course rewards the player that is a precise thrower. It is not about distance or power, but control and placement.

Pros:
-Some really interesting holes- some are tight wooded holes, there are some elevation changes, a few Anny lines, and a big Hyzer over Lake Ontario if you are daring. I can only think of one wide open hole, and even that has brush all along the right. Bring your utility discs and creativity.
-By the lake
-Great practice for approach shots and putting game
-Short but can be pretty tight at times, so not always easy
- Baskets are in good shape

Other Thoughts:
As a beginner I find this course to be a good mix of fun and challenge- it makes one try some different shot shaping because there is a good mix of hole types, and it's not so long that it feels like work to get to the basket.
