With a good course map and informative signage, the six DGA baskets on this busy campus setting are arranged so that no shot has to go across a walkway. With distances ranging from 177 to 411 feet, there are some challenges out here for the casual to recreational player for whom the course was built. Park-like trees and gently rolling terrain mean you'll need to make a decision or two for most of your tee shots. Being on a nice college campus means consistent maintenance and cleanliness. And if you play here on a warm, sunny spring day, there are bound to be any number of distractions to turn a young man's focus off his game.

Lacking in formal tee pads, and with only room for six adequately challenging holes, this course will not get much play by 'serious' disc golfers. Because it is on campus, you'll have to pay attention to pedestrians and the oblivious, and a couple of the holes do risk building hits for overzealous drives, which could result from the unpredictable wind patters amongst the buildings.

The course flow gets a little awkward between holes four and five despite the sign suggesting you walk around the building to the left. Check the map: it's quite a hike.

Nothing but a curiosity: when I visited this campus, I had an all-white squirrel cross my path. My daughter went to Bowling Green, Ohio for school, where they have a number of rare all black squirrels!

Located on a picturesque campus, the Western KY University DGC offers a 6-hole course which winds around several of the campus's residence halls. The course begins at PFT the tallest building on campus (and in Bowling Green). Because it is located near the residence halls, the grass is always mowed and it is always well lit. This allows the course to be played entirely at night without the use of glow discs or LEDs.

The course has virtually no rough and makes use of trees, buildings, and sidewalks as obstacles. WKU DGC is geared for beginners, but also offers a couple of challenges for the experienced player. There are technical challenges as well as a distance challenge on #5. Also, be careful not to throw your disc into on coming traffic on fairway #5. Other hazards include brick buildings, windows, disc-scuffing sidewalks, and the occasional pedestrian. Parking is difficult when school is in session; therefore, I recommend playing this course in the summer. If you do not have a parking pass, you may park on the street near basket #2. WKU DGC offers a lot of variety for a 6-hole course. It is both fun and unique, especially at night.
