Bringing Disc Golf to Schools 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 6, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Interesting mix of holes. With only 3 baskets get a straight open hole, a short tight right turning hole, an interesting double dogleg over a gulley, then the long open "bonus" hole back to the first basket.
-Integrating with the school PE curriculum
-Plays on the edge of school grounds bordering on wooded park land.
-Great layout for first timers and beginners. Low chance of loosing a disc, but still requires learning a variety of shots
-Spectacular view of Mt. Tom from the finishing hole
-DiscCatcher Pro baskets
-Nice log bench next to the second tee
-Cool log bridge over the stream on the 3rd hole.

Cons:

-Just 3 baskets
-On school grounds, which limits public access to non-school hours

Other Thoughts:

First tee a short walk from the parking lot, near the old tennis court. Open shot, but under throw a right to left shot or over shoot a left to right shot and and the slope catches your drive.

The second hole is short but you better hit a low tight line to get your birdie.

The third hole holds it own with any of the "big courses" in the area. Tee over a small stream and turn it a little left to hit the landing zone, then you might need a little right turn on your approach. Two is a great score, three is a good score. Beginners should play this hole as a par 4. The final hole is a long straight shot back to the first basket. Feel free to adjust the tee location to your skill level!

This is the second school course donated by the Explore Disc Golf Foundation, designed to get young people involved in the sport of disc golf. It's also a wonderful resource for local players to tune up their game.
