Needs some TLC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 11, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

You have the course to yourself. I'm not sure I've seen anyone else using it while I have played. Goes in and out of sunshine so it would be a nice course to play if it is hot out. Tight fairways which makes you practice your technical game.

Cons:

The fairways have become a bit overrun with tree branches making it difficult to get any kind of yardage on your tee shot. I believe there are 3 baskets missing now, coincidentally the 3 closest to the road. Beware of the blackberry bushes on the right of hole 3, they are thick and can gobble up a disc very easily.

Other Thoughts:

If a little TLC was put into this course it could become a nice little 9 hole course.

Not in playing condition 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great blackberry picking this time of year in a beautiful setting.

Cons:

Three of the baskets are missing. A couple of the holes are impossibly difficult because of the number of trees in the fairway. Blackberries have take over a decent part of the course.

Other Thoughts:

If you are looking for a nice walk where you can pick some blackberries then this might be an option for you, otherwise don't bother.

Anybody Else Believe In Saudi Arabia's Punishment For Basket Theft? 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 23, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

A nine hole course. All that's left on holes # 1, 5 and 8 are shallow graves where brand new DGA baskets with the red numbers on top once stood. Now beside the isolation of this course, the holes left are very shallow, probably only 8 inches deep. I'm always thrilled when a scout takes on a disc golf course for an Eagle Badge project but here I'm thinking if he had used five bags of concrete per hole and a couple of cross beams mixed, those baskets wouldn't pulled out so easy.

The course which starts about one block from the church features small rubber mats and small, very basic signs. Some holes are technical to a fault, as in, I'm not throwing this hole and then going in to that nasty brush to find my disc. Holes 1 and 2 both fell into this category for me.
I liked # 7 which was just a simple little 140' hyzer throw.
And then # 8 was already confusing as the tee signs facing the wrong way. Once I figured out that I was to throw downhill, I discovered another shallow grave. Too bad, this could be a nice hole.
And # 9 is just a really poorly designed hole. As you walk up to the pad you see the basket up near the course's starting point. There is a street along the right side of the course here. From the tee pad, the hole is 330' away. There is a miniscule little fairway ahead of you with nothing but prickly problems beckoning. Or you could try to stand back from the tee pad and throw a big hyzer up over the street and traffic to the basket. Better players can make this throw. Rec players will throw into traffic and the street and who knows where?

Cons:

Like jacobvaden says, "The course is technical to a fault." To me, that means the hole is too tight, too prickley, too much of a chance of a lost disc or bloodying up your arms and legs trying to retrieve it. I usually skip those types of holes.

The course needs a lot of trimming and pruning and clearing. Maybe just a lot of players playing to beat it down.

Three baskets stolen since the course has been open is not good. Someone needs to shore up the security (MORE CONCRETE UNDER THEM) or else I think they might all be gone soon.

Other Thoughts:

In Saudi Arabia, they used to cut off your hand for thievery. I propose the penalty of one finger chopped for each basket pilfered. I'd be willing to bet no scumbag would come sneaking onto the course under the cover of darkness and digging up these nice new DGA baskets knowing he was risking was one of his digits!
