Cut the grass!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very fun course. Well worth the cost to rip around on a cart. Great use of elevation. Bombing down 16 and 17 makes you want to play them again as soon as possible.

Cons:

I've played here a bunch of times now and my only complaint is that there are too many places to lose your disc. I get that you cant clear out everything but they have got to clean up the bottom of some trees especialy between 4 and 5. I spent 30 min looking for my disc and still couldnt find it, just to lose another on 12. I would have loved to play another round but didnt want to lose any more. There is also alot of high grass around that makes it tough to find your lie when its in the open. My recomendation is you bring someone else to spot for you. I play mostly by myself so it will probably be awhile before i go back..

Other Thoughts:

This is a must play course. Perfect to make a day trip out of it.

Look Out Below ... I mean, FORE! 2+ years

Pros:

Golf carts - most everyone enjoys driving a golf cart, yes?

Cons:

It is more a question of WHEN, not IF, a cart is going to flip over, and discs, golfers, beverages, and other assorted paraphernalia go tumbling down the hill.

Other Thoughts:

The disc golf course is roughly evenly split between sharing the open ball golf fairways, and playing through the woods/hidden glade at the top of the ball golf course.

Disc golf holes 1-5 play along ball golf holes 3-6, so are fairly long and open, offering plenty of hucking opportunities, as they wind their way up the slope. Throwing from elevated tee-3 is probably the most fun shot found in this early group.

Holes 6-11 playing within the woods. Other than very long and very straight and very flat #9, these holes are shorter than the first five, offer a variety of shapes, with an emphasis on right turns, and have some minor elevation changes.

Hole 12-15 play into, along, out from a glade. Straight or left-turns from the tee will work on these middling-length holes. Elevated basket-13 presents an additional challenge,and some may suggest that the dense collections of trees mid/late fairway on 14-15 introduce a random element to the round.

Holes 16-17 play somewhat similarly. Open, as you're back on the ball golf course. Major drop in elevation, more so on #17. Baskets located a short distance away from ball golf greens, which are considered out-of-bounds. Basket-16 adds to the challenge as it is set on a ridge, with a steep drop behind it, and the extra "challenge" on #17 is to focus on the basket, and resist the temptation to toss your disc with all your might, to see if you can land on the house an additional ~500' in the background.

Hole-18 serves its purpose, aka brings you back to the clubhouse, but is an open huckfest.

Had fun playing with the Lancaster-area threesome I caught at hole-5, had fun playing solo, and the 2-to-1 ratio of discers-to-ballers seemed to be enjoying themselves, too. By all means, give the course a go if in the area.
