Reviewed: Played on:Jun 4, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Decently designed, variety of different shots needed here.

Cons:

As of today, Back-9 still needs tee pads and still a lot of debris to clean up on the new holes (3 new holes due to a portion of the course's land being sold).

Other Thoughts:

Short track, but will make you hit your lines to get those birds.

It can be fun and challenging 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great mix of shots. You'll need a variety of shots to handle this course. There are two open holes in the middle that bring you out of the woods for a couple of longer tee shots.
Most of the baskets are placed in hilly locations making for challenging putts and tricky approaches. The course and baskets are on hills. Much like the other golf, putting up hill is much easier. If your putt starts to roll down hill, it may go a while.

Cons:

Cons: Signage on front 7 are good, non-existent or incomplete on back 11.
Tee pads are rough and not designed for long run-ups.
Must contend with school events on fields.
Once you get off the fairway, there is little chance of saving par.

Other Thoughts:

Almost everything in other other reviews are accurate. The course has potential. The land is hilly and the course takes advantage of the contours. It has challenging holes.
You will likely get lost until you learn the course layout. My first time playing after #7, I was on my own. Found #8 tee but no sign as to where the basket might be. Threw up the hill and the basket magically appeared. Followed the path to the next hole (also unmarked), played it, followed an arrow on the tree to hole #9??? Not sure what hole I played between #8 and #9. After #9, found another tee box with a sign showing the basket and distance but no number. Basically not the usual disc golf as much as adventure golf.
The tee pads as ok-ish, but do not expect to run up and unleash a 500+ foot throw. However, on this course, you do not need length as much as control. Most fairways are quite narrow while a couple are WIDE open. This course will nick up your discs with all of the trees and rocks. Rollers do not work well in most areas due to the twigs, rocks and old stumps. You will need a variety of shots to do well.

Once this place gets some more signage I'd definitely rate this course closer to a 3.5, but the lack of signs I have to give it a 2.5.

Need just a bit more 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 17, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has a lot of potential. It makes good use of the land, has challenging holes and it's clear a lot of work has gone into it recently.

Cons:

Navigation! (If you don't have a local with you.)
You could say natural tee pads as well, but they were fine with me.

Other Thoughts:

I went this weekend with some friends and none of us had played it before. We couldn't find a course map online or even one on the bulletin board at the entrance to the course (which would have been great because we could have taken a picture of it with a phone). This course needs just a little bit more attention. Really just a rock painted with the hole number at each tee and a brick with an arrow at the basket telling you which way the next holes is. We got lost around hole 7 and had a tough time figuring out the rest of the course. There's arrows on trees but I think it's for the high school's trails. The signs on the front 7-9 are good enough but there is one hole that has a sign but doesn't give you the hole number!!
No rubber/cement tee pads is ok with me, but signage (simple things like painted rocks/trees/bricks) can really make a difference for a course.

Once this place gets some more signage I'd definitely rate this course closer to a 3.5, but the lack of signs I have to give it a 2.5 with a lot of potential to get better in the coming years.

Solid Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great mix of shots. A variety of shots are needed to navigate this heavily wooded par 54 course. There are two open holes in the middle that bring you out of the windy, technical woods for a couple of longer 400 foot shots.
The fairways are all generally well maintained, especially considering how new the course is. The signage on the front 9 is well done.
Most of the baskets are placed in tricky locations making for challenging putts and tricky approaches.

Cons:

Many of the baskets were single-set chains. Some were two-set, which was nice, but the single-set baskets could certainly be improved upon.
The natural tee-pads on the majority of the holes were pretty reasonable, but the handful of holes with wooden box tee-pads were highly undesirable. The first one we came upon was extremely slick; this made any kind of run-up ill-advised. The others were either too small or ill-positioned for proper drives.

Other Thoughts:

The course is still very new. Back 9 was just put in this year. With that in mind, this course was a good addition to the area. The variety of shots it offered is very promising for what this course could become given some work on the baskets, tee-pads and the possible removal of just a couple trees.
