Tyler East is a great representation of what woods golf and East Coast courses should be like. Set in a beautiful state park and right next to another fantastic course in it's own right, this serves as as a destination course in a destination area.

Technical lines but not overly tight is the name of the game here. You will throw a lot of different shapes down fairways filled with trees that probably met with William Penn himself 300-some years ago. A great variety of hole lengths and shapes means you'll be throwing most shots you know how to. Depending on the pins, holes can range from 150 feet to over 800.

To elaborate on the pins, this course has more diverse layouts than probably any course I've ever seen. Three pins per hole that change frequently can have a hole play as a par 3 one day and a par 5 the next. Locals can surely never get bored with the options that are given to them, and if they do, they can play one of the other ten thousand courses within 45 minutes of here.

The scenery at this course is better than I anticipated as well. While it is in a state park that had a lot of people moseying around, there's a lot of wildlife to enjoy as well. The mature trees that I mentioned before, a creek and dam, as well as rocks and boulders to traverse. Pair that with the log pyramids that line a majority of the fairways, you have a lot of natural features to feast your eyes on.

Tyler East is a must play course in an area with many of them, and it took me my second trip out here to finally play it, and I wish I had played it sooner. Many of the cons I'll list are either not the courses fault, or personal preference.

With as many pins and layouts as they have here, it can definitely get confusing. First time players will have to walk down a lot of the fairways to get a good idea of where to throw to. Another problem with this is the people who only play the course once won't get to experience the best pins available. There were a couple times where I played a non-memorable hole just to realize it could've been a magnificent one if I had played last week, but such is life.

There were a decent number of walkers on and around the course, as well as numerous large groups playing. Combine this with a few blind shots, it's possible to throw in on people if you aren't careful.

There were a lot of navigational signs to help us along the way, but because of the layout variety we had to look at the UDisc map a few times to get our bearings.

Overall, Tyler East is a beast and a beauty of a course that I could play over and over again and never get bored. I didn't get a chance to play the West course, but if it's anything like this, then it makes Tyler State Park one of the top disc golf destinations in the country.

Tyler State Park is a historic Park that I have wanted to play for several years. The Park is beautiful and having a 2 course complex is really nice.

This course has a good mix of shots, terrain, length, elevation, and challenge. I found myself attacking some holes while playing safe on others. I enjoyed the risk reward aspect of this course especially on the holes with danger.

The course was overall underwhelming. I did not appreciate the overgrowth and insane amount of deadfall and branches all over the course. The stacks of logs were cool in some spots but grew to be annoying in many areas. The hole closure was also disappointing but it sounds like this will be resolved in the future.

Course navigation was difficult in some areas and the course could certainly use some additional signage.

I was excited to play the #1 course in PA but felt that the course came up short in wow factor and overall appeal. If I were to recommend a bucket list course in PA, Tyler would fall somewhere between 3 and 4 and I've only played 4 courses in the state.

The history of this park and some of the unique features make this course cool so its still on my list of courses to play if your in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to play it again.

- 2 tee pads per hole most of the time and 3 basket positions on each hole
-Very nice Mach baskets with a blue number plate to tell the difference of East and West courses
- Nice use of wooden bunkers, the people in the club clean the course and put extra sticks and wood on the bunkers
- There are many hard basket positions, creating death putts and hard approaches
- many leagues and doubles events, also tournaments almost every season
- tons of locals there if signage is a problem, which won't be a huge problem because there are lots of next tee signs and informative tee signs at each tee
- The course is tight sometimes but there are no unfair holes, every line is easy to see
- Mix of distance between the two tees
- Mix of Open and tight holes

- What I noticed is that the course is great, but there is no signature hole, which is unusual for a course rated as high as it is.
- The bathrooms aren't always open so that means that you would have to drive across the park to go to the bathroom.
- The open holes can get very wet after a rainy day, there are no stones or planks through possible swampy spots
- some of the shorter tee pads are way too short

It is a very good course, but it's not as good as what its course rating is. I love playing the course in all C positions also!
