Reviewed: Played on:Nov 30, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good terrain, well designed holes for the most part.
A little tight, but that's not always a bad thing. Decent use of elevation and obstacles.
Aesthetically pleasing area devoted only to disc golf.

Cons:

For a first time player, this course is a navigational nightmare. It looks like the layout has changed so much over the years, so some of the basket #s are correct while others are wrong. Not sure I saw a single tee sign there. No clear start and end to the course. Seriously something needs to be done here unless the St Thomas disc golfers don't care to attract new players. At the very minimum there should be an up to date course map published at the beginning of the course, and clearly legible tee signs.

The concrete tee pads were in pretty rough shape, can't remember exactly how many had crumbling issues but it seemed like a lot, enough for me to question the integrity of the concrete mix originally used.

So that said, I would suggest playing with someone who is familiar with the course.

Other Thoughts:

It is a fun course to play and I don't want to dog it too much, but if we are going to attract new players to the sport this course in it's current state is detrimental to that effort. With signage, good teepads and a clearer layout this could easily be a 4 star course.
