Functional but nothing special 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 3, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

A decent course for taking some kids and playing a quick half-round. Nothing extremely short, but nothing burdensomely long either. Most holes have some woods or danger on one side, but with a wide open space on the opposite side. Hole 4 runs right along the river, closer than I thought until I nearly sent my drive down the bank. Saw some deer in the woods!

Cons:

Only nine holes, and nothing really remarkable about any of them. Wide open option on every hole. Some holes can be crowded by lacrosse or baseball games since since the course runs on the outside of high school property. Tee pads are just dirt and gravel.

Other Thoughts:

This course was conveniently in the city and easily accessible. It was nice to try a new course while we were out of town visiting family.

New signs 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 5, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course now has great signs at each tee that appear to be sponsored by Disc Golf Mart

Cons:

Watch you disc closely because the rough on the sides of some fairways can be thick

Other Thoughts:

Good for adults to practice and youth to learn

Great practice place 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

A small course but it's important to realize that there are hardly any people there the majority of the time. The course itself isn't exactly challenging (even for beginners) but the huge open fields are great for practicing driving and you can claim a basket in the shade to practice putting almost any time of day. There is also the option of changing tee locations, given how under trafficked it is you could easily design a challenging 18 hole lap around.

Cons:

Very small, on school grounds. Many people are oblivious to the fact that there is even a course here.

Other Thoughts:

I grew up in the area, live/work nearby so its a great place if I'm just trying to swing by for an hour before or after work to practice.

Know-stalgia? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 27, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Designed and installed by a group of young men from the high school (who had to make a worthy presentation to the community to get it done), the nine hole disc golf course in Worthington Flats is a fine example of how our youth are helping to grow the sport.

The course has small-sized (4'x7'), boxed gravel tees and decent baskets, and works along the tree line of the first terrace uphill along the driveway with a couple of sweeping hyzer (rhbh) shots southward to tree guarded baskets (tucked just blind into the wood line), then turns (clockwise) right at the corner for hole three that runs into a small grove of large park trees. Then, you walk toward the river path and under the roadway to play counter-clockwise around that practice field: a pair of anny holes and a shorter hole 6 that sort of mirrors hole 3. Walk back to the underpass along the paved path, where you'll come to hole 7, an open 230 footer, then 8, which plays to the edge of the woods (I had to wait for the young deer to stop grazing here the first time I played the course). You'll finish on hole 9 across the drive and back toward the parking area on the north side of the fields. So in essence, the course plays as three sets of three holes, with a progression of right to left, left to right, and basically open shots. It does complete a loop without too bad a walk from hole to hole (exception: 6 to 7). They range from 150 to 330 feet, so there's some variety for a Rec arm challenge.

There are obviously options for safari golf here if the fields are clear, and some are shown on the map listed here on dgcr.

Cons:

Take a look at the map here, and follow the blue lines for the existing tees, because there isn't any signage yet. The course does play around other sports fields and requires consideration and care if there are other activities are taking place there. Safety first. The flats are technically a flood plain, and the lowest of the baskets (4) can be in a pool if the water is up any.

I noted today that they've bulldozed in the gravel for an extension of the bike path that has obliterated the 5th tee box. Seems a shame that the community had these young men jump through the hoops with the planning commission, and then have this other project going on within the year (sorry for the rant).

Other Thoughts:

Having played Optimist league football on these same fields as a youngster in the early '70's, I just had to come back to town and try this course out. My first time(s) back to the old stomping grounds in 35 years

closest course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

I like to rate it for what it is and it's a 9 hole course, not a championship 18. Best thing is it's under 2 miles from the house, so not a plus for everyone, but definitely for me.
I thought the distance was decent compared to other nearby 9 hole course in Dublin and Hilliard.
Decent variety of right and left and a couple tricky pin locations

Cons:

no signs, short tees with uneven surface (dirt and gravel). 4th pin, which is theoretically the most interesting hole was completely flooded out. Some pins were out in the open where they could have been moved 10 ft one way or the other to make a more challenging hole.

Other Thoughts:

Despite the roughness of the course, the fact that I can run over and play in half an hour will have me out there a lot. If it had long tees or multiple pins some signs and better tee pads it would be one of the best 9 hole courses I've played. Give it time. Potential to add some holes too I think to the north up the bike trail.
