Fun local beginner course

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 5, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

From a beginner perspective, (updated 7/2022)
- Good signage.
- Holes 5-6 are wooded, 7 has a tunnel shot out of the woods. The other holes are open or mostly open.
- Variety: As a chill new player I personally liked the gimmicks such as the "Island" hole 1, Mando on hole 3, etc. The #8 tall basket drives me nuts cause I can't putt.
- Hard to lose a disc, especially in winter
- Holes 5-7 will test beginners accuracy off the tee due to trees (mid/putter shots)
- The OB areas on 1 and 9 will also challenge.
- Longer throwers will find some challenge on the black tees, specifically holes 1-3.

Cons:

- Not all tee pads are concrete, yet, but the course creator is making improvements as funds are made available.
- The rough will get thick in summer and is good at hiding those inaccurate throws (fire ants abound).
- Holes 5, 6 and the 7 tee will get "mucky" after heavy rains.
- Long drivers will not find a lot of challenge on the green tees, but for most beginners several holes are long enough to pull out a driver.
- Only 9 baskets, though you can play 18 holes by using short (green)/long (black) tees. The shorter green tee's will allow most beginners to get birdie chances on accurate short shots.

Other Thoughts:

- The longer black tee on #1 is on the parking lot framed by black tape. Typically, no one parks on it, but it's possible. You'll need an accurate drive of close to 300 to reach the "island" for any chance at birdie here.
- This course is designed for outreach to the community, so you'll get some "Christianity 101" consisting of short Bible messages on each hole sign.
- Is it a "destination" course, you'll want to drive 1 hour to play? Probably not.
- That being said, I think this course is plenty of fun for the locals in the area. I think the course designer did a great job, reflecting a heart of love for young players and disc golfers of all stripes.
