Winton Woods is as classic as it gets. Almost 40 years old, this course has seen plenty of rounds, plenty of aces, and plenty of fun!

Playing solo, I got through this course in a half hour, and I was taking my time. The baskets are almost right next to the next tee, and all the holes play as a putter or midrange shot with the exception of two holes.

The fairways were all well maintained, and the chances of losing a disc on this course are slim to none, as you are barely ever throwing to a blind basket. This makes it really easy to get through as a solo player, as well as any novice player looking to try the game out for the first time.

There is a good variety of short shots, with lefty and righty hyzers needed, as well as the ever so popular straight shot. I threw a lot more discs from my bag than I originally expected.

Winton Woods is one of the most fun courses you can play, because every hole is ace-able. But that doesn't make it a great course.

The holes don't have real tee signs, but they aren't really needed. The asphalt tees are less than stellar, and the baskets aren't in the best shape. The asphalt ring around the base of the baskets ate up my putters when I missed a putt/parked a drive. (Mostly missed putts)

Holes play close together, and this course gets crowded with casual players. Safety can be an issue, and if there are a lot of players on the course, you will be waiting on every tee.

A good variety of short shots are still short shots. While I threw more discs than I thought I would, that was about 5 opposed to 3. Lots of straight shots that need to hit a semi-small gap through the trees.

Winton Woods is a lot of fun, but falls short of the epic courses that have sprung up in the past 20 years. That doesn't make it not worth a play, just not one to make the best courses in the world list.

According to Udisc, this course is a Par 71. I'm pretty proud of my -28 score of 43. While I know this is more along the lines of a soft -11, I felt like a real pro seeing all the blue on my scorecard. Thanks, UDisc!

This course is GREAT for beginners and for players looking to better their short game. Only two holes play longer than 200' (and they only play about 310'), so you won't really need more than a midrange here. Every hole has a well-defined fairway that shapes your shot for you, and every hole is an opportunity for a confidence-boosting 2 or a really-confidence-boosting ace.

It plays quickly. A single player can easily play this course in 30 minutes, if not quicker. It is also broken up into two distinct loops of nine holes, so it is easy to start on either 1 or 10. Because it is so short, it isn't unheard of to play 36 holes (or even more).

The course reeks of nostalgia. Not really sure if this is a pro or not, but I think it's worth noting considering how old it is.

This course definitely shows its age. The teepads are barely there anymore, but thankfully you don't really need them. The pins are built into concrete pads that form a 10' circle around the pin, eating up discs that hit them. The rough on the sides is THICK, so do your best to not find your way into it. It can get crowded after work or on weekends, so if you don't play quickly you will hold up a lot of folks.

Most importantly, it is just too short and easy for most people. This course is from the era when regular frisbees were used in this game, so the pars are extremely antiquated (the listed course par is 71 when in reality, most experienced players should be getting 2s on almost every hole).

I like this course and respect it for being the "old man in the room" when it comes to Cincinnati Disc Golf. It is a great course for young kids to develop a love for the game. It was great for me when I worked in the area, so I could duck out after work and play a quick round while rush-hour traffic was dissipating. However, outside of that, there isn't much of a reason to drive to this course with so many other outstanding courses in the Greater Cincinnati Area. I always encourage playing a course once, and I do the same here, but I would not recommend it if someone were visiting the city and only had time for one round.

Short course with interesting holes. Almost all the holes are less than 200' and there is even one hole that's less than 100'

Lots of fun to practice short game by playing this course. Deuces available on each hole.

Asphault around the base of baskets chews up discs.

Ace - Hole 5 - 1/1/09

This a popular course and you could always find someone to play with here. The course plays through the woods with well defined fairways. Even the area outside of the fairways is not thick with undergrowth because of the heavy traffic.

Lots of birdies to be had! I witnessed 2 aces the first time I played this course. One of them was probably only 90 feet.

Good place to come and work on your midrange/approach game.

Can be extremely crowded on nice days. Look out for flying discs as the holes are crowded together.

The teepads are asphalt, which is better than dirt - but not ideal.

This is a pitch and putt course, where it is easy to shoot under par. Great for beginners, but only if you want to fight through the crowd. Not as good as other courses in the area - but still a fun course to play.

Lots of ACE possibilities on this short and easy course,great for beginners,clean park,nice variety,easy to navigate,can easily play 9 or 18,

Mostly short holes,no signs,tees too close to baskets you have to wait for the group in front of you to tee off so you accidentally don't hit them,have to go seperate park entrance to purchase pass,

I have such fond memories of playing this course in the early 80's. Back then we all played it with the big trash can lid frisbees and it was a hard course. If I remember correctly the longest hole on the course is 290' and it was a bomb to get out that far when the new style disc golf discs weren't around.

The course is heavily played and it's an ok place to bring beginners or people who are just playing with frisbees. It's more of a picnic atmosphere than a disc golf course as we all know them now.

There are asphault tee pads. There's a restroom at the beginning of course. It also plays in 2 loops so that you can start on hole 1 or 10 with no problem. You will often run in to groups of 10 here so its nice to be able to start on the back 9 so you don't have to follow them.

This course is best played with old school plastic or with just a putter. It's very short. The shortest hole is 90', the longest is around 290' and there's only a handfull of holes over 200' on the course. There are usually tons of people on the course. The more advanced disc golfers in the area don't go here because there are about 30 other courses in the area. With that in mind you should definitely look out for stray plastic from people who tend to yank every now and then.

There's a couple places where the pins and tee pads are very close together. This wasn't a very big problem back in the day because a big trash can lid frisbee didn't hurt that much when it hits you but the new ones do. So be careful when you're throwing and watch out for stray discs.

The pins have an asphault ring around them that's about 12 feet in diameter. I assume it was an attempt to make a green but what it really does is completely screw you if you skip one off of it on the fly. It makes for a lot of really long putts after good drives.

Sometimes I miss the innocent days when Winton Woods was a hard course. I wish I could see the GCFDA Course Challange scores from tournaments played back in the early 80's. If you played a tournament there now you had best shoot about -16 per round or you'll get smoked.

This course is a great short game challange for intermediate and advanced - or a real treat for new players and kids! 18 holes - through fairly dense woods. There are a couple of semi-challenging holes - only because of very narrow fairways. Unlike many beginner courses - this one is not in an open field where you are in constant danger of hitting other players.

If you are looking for a challenge - head to Mt Airy, Banklick, Idlewild, Monroe, or Gulley. Great place to take the whole family.
