Pros:
Now I have a better reason to stop in Wheeling other than going to the Casino a couple blocks away or a Wheeling Nailer minor league hockey game (AA team for the Penguins).
Favors a LHBH player
Well descriptive tee signs and kiosk
Hole # 11 can be a pain. I had a decent drive, putted to the elevated basket (on a tree stump) only to have it roll down the the edge of the hill and with speed that I was yelling at it to sit (don't think it could roll into the river, but...). got a 5 on that hole, lol.
Every hole is Ace able
Boat ramp available (how cool is that, if you had a boat and you could drive it to the course for a quick round!!),
Cons:
natural tees.
closeness to the river (with 1/2 of the course. though I'm thinking if there's a flood, all the course could be affected)
Other Thoughts:
This Disc Golf course to me is more than what appears to the naked eye. It's a simple 18 hole course placed on a very small tract of land, but it's genius for the park dept. to put a course here. Why not. It's walking distance away from the casino. It's a good course to hone your (short) game, It's a course that the neighborhood kids can learn on and enjoy. I played in less than 20 minutes.
The area might be rundown for some tastes, but I love the architecture of the homes on the island and though it's not a "destination" course. I wouldn't mind it being my neighborhood course!
The neighborhood kids thought Santa was playing the course when I played it. I gave them a few ho ho ho's (Santa laughing).
