Well Maintained Challenging Course 2+ years

Updated:
Played on:Jul 10, 2020
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Good mix of L to R, R to L, and straight tee shots.
Good variety of hole lengths.
Mostly tree lined, mowed bluegrass fairways that are a good playing width.
Nice sized concrete tees with the option to throw from the grass ball golf tees to mix things up.
18 holes plays quickly if you throw to both baskets each tee.
Very good basket placement, the second basket for each tee/fairway is placed to play totally different than the first.
Great practice course with very few other golfers, disc or ball, so multiple practice shots are usually possible.
The course flows well and spotting each basket only requires a short walk from the tee in most cases (8/17 being the major exception).

Cons:
Only 9 tees and fairways.
Disc loss potential is high in the brush on the left side of holes 3/11 and 4/12.
No elevation changes or water in play.
Shares fairways with the ball golf course.
No tee signs for the disc golf tees, but there are some numbered boards nailed to trees between holes.
Tee 5/14 (behind the ball golf tee along the south fence) and 6/15 (north of basket 5 and east of the large tree) can be a little tricky to find for first timers.

Other Thoughts:
The DG course was installed at the same time as the rough ball golf course. This may be the only combined course in the world where more money was spent on the disc golf course than the ball golf side.
The installation of two baskets for the 9 tees and fairways works well in this case. timg was consulted as to whether to the list the course as 9 or 18 holes.
It is very nice to have a relatively open and long course in the area to throw my higher speed discs and observe a full flight. (I do some field work, but I would much rather be on a course, especially when I have the whole course to myself.)
Worth playing for anyone in the area.
Update: There are now nice tee signs installed on each hole. I believe that a couple of the distances on the signs are questionable, looks like they may have been measured along the line of play rather than how the crow flies.
