Good, Getting Better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 16, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

There are benches near many of the holes. Unless you are playing holes 4-10 there are numerous bathrooms located just a throw away in the Tri-C building. One thing which Tri-C just installed on holes 1 and 10 which I think is awesome is boxes with a course map/scorecard in them. While this course is by no means hard to navigate, the map does help in a few spots, especially in the walk from the front nine to the back nine. Another great feature of this course is that it loops all the way around the building and back to where you began. There is a nice practise basket located just behind the first hole by the parking lot. The baskets themselves are in great shape and easy to spot. This is important since several of these holes are 500+ feet in length. The long tees are marked with very nice wooden posts, with blue paint and white numbers at the top of each.

Cons:

This course gets rather muddy from February through early May, which does make it a challenge to play without boots. Also depending on what time you are playing you will need to look out for students, as several holes cross over walkways. (#1,2,14,15,16,17,18) Since Tri-C west and this course is very open, you will often have to deal with a lot of wind. Unfortunately most of the time I have noticed it is blowing across holes instead of with them. Hole #4 is precariously near to a school road, which is heavily traveled. Just beware, especially if you are throwing RHBH that your disc stays out of the busy road. Also the short tees positions are not marked, making it very difficult to play these. The new score cards, while they are very nice, do not yet have hole distances or even pars on them as of yet, which is very important. As well I would love if Tri-C installed concrete tee pads, hopefully this is coming in the near future!

Other Thoughts:

Since I am a student at this school, I know that parking is now free thanks to the fact that they built in the parking fee to the school fees. As far as I know now this fee covers visitor parking too, which is nice for you disc golfers. Just beware that this is viable to change as well. If you want to double check, visit the parking meter at the front of every parking lot. If it is covered, then parking is free. Otherwise you may need to pay a dollar or so to ensure you don't get a ticket (which is only $10 as well). This course is gradually improving. It is still very open, which is great for all of you strong armed players and for people working on their drives. The pars are all generally tough, and holes #3 and #11, #14 are the only real ace runs. I have played here for the last two years and have personally watched the course get better. Look for it to continue to improve in the future!
Favorite holes are #3 and #15
