Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

With non-permanent tee locations and portable baskets, you'll never be quite sure what you'll find. Plenty of opportunities to watch your discs fly

Cons:

Only open 1830-2030 on the first and third Sundays, and following Mondays, of a month. $3 to play. Shotgun start due to limited time window.

Small, parallel-to-ground blocks mark the natural tee locations, and throwing towards portable, single-chain baskets, make having a map (available online or at the clubhouse) essential.

Other Thoughts:

As you might imagine, creating a disc golf course located on a small, 9=hole ball golf course, is a challenge, Designers did a good job with what was available, primarily the sparse lines of trees separating the fairways, but also including a small, clear creek, and some changes in elevation.

Given the portability of the tees and baskets, the course can/will vary between weekends - only the last two holes from the first weekend are the same the holes for the second weekend:
7/10-11/11 distances: Minimum 146', maximum 326', average 250'
8/7-8/11 distances: Minimum 250', maximum 500', average 360'

With five, free courses of various length and difficulty ~20 miles or less away, it is hard to predict how long this course will be open - always check the webpage (under Links) before heading there to play. First weekend was very successful, with 30+ people showing up each night, from complete novices and families to experienced players.
