Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The holes in the fields are generally fun and make appropriate use of the terrain. Though most courses in the region are generally hilly, the hills on this course are much steeper than usual and thus give you some fun shots to play with. Normal shot variety, course does not favor one particular type of throw. Seems to be a low traffic course, we had the entire thing to ourselves. Pads and tee signs were in decent shape and the map on the scorecard will help you find your way around as well.

Cons:

The woods holes, in a word, are miserable. My ideal courses are wooded and tight, think Idlewild in Burlington, KY, and even I found the wooded holes to be ridiculous. Before we went out, the worker inside mentioned he had recently cleared out the woods. If that condition represented "cleared out" then I would hate to see it grown over. Some holes barely had walking paths, much less paths for your throws. Going off the paths meant two things: an overly difficult next throw and a long, difficult hunt for the disc.

The other major beef is this is a pay course. I didn't take any discs off the rating for this, but in my book it is a major con.

Other Thoughts:

The woods holes really killed this course for me. If it were a free course I'd play again, skipping the woods holes in the spring/summer/fall. Once the undergrowth dies off and trees lose their leaves the woods holes may take on a new life. However, for the $8 it costs to play I will not be going back.

The day I played the course the grass was in a mown state. I heard from locals on other courses in the area that sometimes the grass gets long and, when that happens, the course is not worth playing.

A final note: this course was played in June and everyone in the group had to pick off at least one tick per hole once we got into the woods. Watch out!

Fun Farm vol 2 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 11, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

test the gambit of your skill shots from long distance to short technical shots. Well designed for pros and amatuers just not best for novice and recreational players. Dave Greenwell designed it and is the area GURU for a reason. Well sought after designer.

Cons:

the whole park is on a hillside. the woods are still over full of damaged down tree piles and 13 and 14 are extreme holes or as we were told after a near death experience"We like to call them challenging" Staff seemed like paintball was their bread and butter and then when the cast of 300 crew got took care of then the disc golfers where attended to.

Other Thoughts:

Probably a little rough for your novice . Pros love it! one monster hole and the rest are uphill/back downhill challenges!
Good one to check out if you dont mind the waiver everytime

Not worth travelling too 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 31, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

The 21 hole layout is a nice change of pace. The course layout is easy to follow. Discs can be purchased in the office and they also have restrooms there. Tee signs seemed to be accurate and easy to understand.

Cons:

Teepads are very inconsistent, very hard to get a feel for them because they are several different sizes. The baskets are very old and several are rusty. I enjoy a challenging hole, but some holes were a bit much. Hole 7 which is a 700+ ft hole, has a double mando at about 500 ft which is not is line with the perceived route to the basket. Holes 13 and 14 were treacherous. Hole 13 plays down at very steep hill, across a creek and then slightly up another hill. It is VERY steep and slick traveling from the teepad to the basket. It has no steps, or rails, and then a player must cross the creek that is fairly wide and does not have a bridge. Then hole 14 plays right back up the steep hill that you just came down. Which means you must cross the creek again and climb back up the steep hill. There are also several blown down trees in 14's fairway that need to be cleared.

Other Thoughts:

This could be an excellent course with some serious clean up of the wooded holes and some steps and bridges on certain holes.

Skip it and play Bufallo Trace in Palmyra instead... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 9, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A good mix of Open holes and wooded holes, Severe Elevation changes, Multiple shot types on most holes. Some Sand traps, and OB's.

Cons:

Owner does not support disc golf. Only out to fill his pockets on a sport he doesn't care about. Pay to play, but when work needs to be done he asks for voulunteers. Also charges players entry fees for tournaments.

Other Thoughts:

Don't waste your time on this course. It isnt fun to play!
