oasis 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

lots of potential aces, its disc golf

Cons:

not easy to navigate. course overlaps overflow parking for sporting events

Other Thoughts:

along with the other reviews, we played this when there was a party at the house by the entrance as well as during a lacrosse game. several of the fairways (12,14,15,16) were all being used as parking lots which made for some very dangerous shots.
Many of the baskets are portable and seem to be arbitrarily place. hole 6 is less than 3 feet from a gravel road in the brush. Nothing cleared around it. several other holes were set up the same way, weeds grown up around them. hole 15 especially there is a nice mowed lawn, and the basket is 4 feet into a thick weedy field. definitely take a map, and hopefully run into the guy who designed it to get you through the back nine. also watch out for cars and buildings.

Where 13 equals 18 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 11, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Wide variety of distances, ranging from #17 at 145' to #7 coming in at 516', average being about 260'.

Nice views of mountains from basket 13/16 and nearby.

Cons:

Thirteen unmarked mobile baskets serve eighteen tees. Holes 2+9, 3+7, 10+18, 11+17, 13+16 share a basket. Holes 1+2, 4+5, 6+7, 14/15+16 share crossing/same fairways.

Grass tees marked by two small concrete squares, listing hole number and distance.

Several holes play near buildings and/or parking lots. Front nine feels very jammed in at places.

Long walk from #16 to #17. Mostly flat course.

Other Thoughts:

Map/scorecard at http://www.dgcoursereview.com.../2f41ad80.pdf proved very useful in navigating the course. Note that the building pictured in the lower left of the front nine is the same building barely seen in the upper right corner of the back nine.

If you enter the campus from the entrance all the way at the top of the hill (about 1/2 mile past the main entrance), the course is easier to find, and will be on your left.

Seasonal/random obstacles, such as trailer hitches and mounds of mulch! :)
