- well maintained fairways
- good use of elevation
- nice mix of woods and open areas
- easy access to full-service camp store with maps, discs, food, drinks, and ice cream.
- nice big parking lot
- if you play in the evening you get to throw your game while surrounded by delicious smells of barbecue grills and campfire smoke. Its a nice touch.
- Dillon State Park has lots of other things to see and do besides disc golf

- Tee pads are a dangerous wreck
- Few benches and trash cans on holes
- Course winds through the state park campground and spreads on either side of several roads, creating a risk of hitting cars, RV's, and people if you can't keep it on the fairway.
- Depending on season, the camp is full of kids, dogs, and other camp dwellers who crowd the course and cross the fairways with no regard for disc golfers playing the game.

This is a free-to-play course nestled into the campground at Dillon State Park. The park is close to Zanesville, but if you're coming from the Columbus area its a bit of a drive. The park isn't near any major highway and getting there feels like you're really off the beaten path. Hole 1 tees off right at the top of the wooden stairs behind the camp store.
This is a medium-level challenging course when compared to other courses in central Ohio. It offers a number of holes that beginning disc golfers will find friendly, and a few tight woods shots that require your thinking cap, and just one or two long wide open bombs for the 300+ feet throwers.

I found the course quite satisfying to play. My only complaints are that some of the holes play dangerously close to people's campsites, and that many of the tee pads on this course are uneven, gravel-filled, partially completed concrete wrecks. A guy with a long runup is at risk of spraining an ankle here. Sometimes its better to throw from the grass alongside the teepad on the worst holes. But it looks like many of these tees are a work in progress and there is hope that they will be completed and smooth in the near future.

1) Nice mix of open and wooded holes
2) Elevation changes
3) Camp store with snacks, drinks and discs
4) Moderately scenic
5) Highlight holes: 12 (600' dog leg right. Downhill off the tee and sloping upward about midway through the hole)

1) No concrete tees
2) No pro tees
3) Some holes too close to each other
4) Trash dumpsters w smell close to some of holes (9 and 18 I think)

This is an enjoyable beginner to intermediate course with lots of ace runs and a few longer holes to test your arm. The first few holes are in the pine trees and then it opens up into rolling hills with scattered trees/brush for a while. Towards the end it goes back into the trees for a few and then finishes in the open.

The course is taken care of fairly well. I didn't notice any trash laying around even though there were no trash cans on the course. There is a camp store right before you get to hole 1 that sells discs (so far only Innova, although I was told they will be expanding to include other manufacturers) and food and drinks. I didn't get to go in because it was closed at 5!? I was told they also serve real ice cream too which would be a great treat after your round because it can get hot out there on those open holes. Hole 1 is right behind the camp store. Go up the wooden stairs and the tee is right there.
Another note: Off of hole 8's tee there is a little building that has a drink vending machine. Very nice on those hot days.

Although the course is not very long, it is somewhat hilly, which makes up for the lack of length. This makes for some interesting angles on the holes. And there is a 600' hole on 12 which has length and elevation changes. Although many of the holes are short, they're interesting in some way. For example, holes 2-4 are in the pine trees which is beautiful. There are several more short holes that have an obstacle to get around or get through so it's not so boring. Also, it's a good feeling to step up to the tee knowing that you could get an ace on the son of a bitch. And there's enough longer holes that allow for medium to full speed drives with drivers that manage to keep the course interesting.

All in all, I enjoyed myself here and will return someday, especially when they get some concrete tees in (a local that we played with told me that they are raising funds to do so) and some pro tees installed. Even without these things, I'll be back someday and if I lived here I'd play this all the time. The challenge isn't too awfully great, but it's not boring either. Do yourself a favor and get out there and play it.
