Shady and Filled with Hills 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 11, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course certainly has a lot of variety. there are many holes where you have tight lines which you have to throw thru
and many trees to avoid.

There is not a lot of rough brush so finding discs off the fairway is not too hard I did not think. A lot of the fairways had wood chips on them so its pretty easy to find next hole.

Be prepared to do a lot of hill climbing and technical shots.

The back 9 has a lot of shade cover so nice to play on a hot day.

in 18 holes only saw 1 other group of players so its certainly off the path indeed.

Very nice baskets I thought rather new.

Cons:

Adequate tee signs but some holes lacked the yardage markers.

If there was any rain during a day I would maybe avoid this place due to the many hills you have to climb up and down and a couple of streams (dry today though) which might be full of water.

Other Thoughts:

[7/16/2020]:
One suggestion if you arrive near sunset in summer and want to play all 18. play #1 down hill then go left and past basket of #1 to #9 and play 9-18 as those are all in wooded sections and all not as lighted then come back from #18 and go left across parking lot and then down hill slightly to right from parking lot and pick up #3 thru #8 which are all out in open light and then finish #2 going up hill toward parking lot.

First about 7-9 holes are pretty out in open cept for 1 and 2 which are up and down steep hill. So one gets a good warmup for the meat of the course which IMO is the back nine. Wow some interesting up hill shots, some blind tee shots the go to right and left. One I really liked think it was #14 that goes off a tee high on hill and basket is way way down a hill. The one is a ton of fun hole to play cause you can launch the disc all way to hole if you get it thru the trees at top.

We played englewood metro park and this one after that one and this one is certainly the tougher of the two I would say. I had not played this course until today but I would go back. Its a good challenge not super long holes but do have tight lines.

One other suggestion ight want to bookmark website or take course map printout with you
as a couple of holes we were not quite sure of next tee position.

Pros:

Concrete Tees.
Variety of shots.
Pretty park. Hilly sections from #1-18...

Cons:

Parking is very limited.

Other Thoughts:

Came out from Indy, read previous reviews extolling the quality of Englewood. This Course is superior to Englewood, has a way better layout and is a better challenge...

Would love to have this one close to where I live!

A taste of major elevation changes in a metro area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 17, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Concrete tee pads.
-Great use of limited space.
-Great use of the struggle between power and accuracy on holes #9 (for the forehand) #15 (for the backhand).
-Few holes on the front for the medium to large arm to air it out.
-Elevation! I cant say enough about this. The use of elevation in the woods is the most intresting and awesome part of this course.

Cons:

-In all honesty the biggest detractor of this course is it best feature. The elevation change on the back nine can make for a slippery round if wet. You will have to take the hills very slow or you will be in trouble.
-signs could use updating
-a few more trash cans and benches

Other Thoughts:

This course is a diamond in the rough for the Dayton area. Take a look at it!
