Pros:
This course is set on an elementary school property, and, as such, it is well maintained. There is little schule and very few places to lose discs.
There are decent baskets (DISCatchers with a single set of chains) and a good kiosk map. The map shows the multiple tee locations which are a big plus in giving this course length-variety. Some holes from the shorts are very short while sone of the long tees create long bomb opportunities.
Cons:
First of all, without a map (which we had), we would have been completely lost. Some of the holes are marked with a single wooden stack with a painted top (indicating which tee pad it is) and most of those had a number sticker on them. However, not every hole and certainly not every placement was marked. Sometimes it was obvious from a dirt patch in the grass where the tee pad was, but most of the time it was not. There were some tee pads that had paint marking them, but it was faded and hard to see.
The course had several "fairways" that were not really defined at all. The basket was behind several large, sprawling trees with no clear path for the flight of a disc. The worst was hole 2 where, from the long pad, one had to shoot dangerously close to neighbors fences through a very narrow gap in the trees. (Hole 6 was very similar.) This is not a good combination for the type of player using an elementary school course.
This was the most disconcerting thing for me: this is not an elementary school course. I brought my wife and child, and they left discouraged at the course's length and a little nervous after we got an errant disc from someone's yard. As such, this course is not well designed for its location.
The other main design issue here is that many of the holes overlap, with tees for two holes literally on top of each other (check out the map). It was hard to stay "in the fairway" when many of the fairways ran together.
Other Thoughts:
I guess the main reason I didn't like the course was that I was expecting a very easy, very beginner friendly course and instead found a longer course (the distances listed on Cincinnati's web site are way off) that was very strange in spots with no obvious fairways for beginning players.
With better signage marking all the tees and with some rerouting of a few bad fairways, this course could have potential.
But as someone who has played almost every 9 hole course along I-75 in Ohio, there are many others I would much rather play for a quick round to stretch the legs. As someone else wrote, this course is not worth the trip unless you live in town.
