On the well-kept grounds of Yellow Springs High School, there are nine Predator baskets (somewhat unique) set in a counter-clockwise loop, with hole distances ranging from 200 to almost 700 feet in length. There is a one of a kind, 'created' top of the world starter tee (hole 1), four holes (2,3,7&9) where bigger arms can let loose, a hole (4) that finishes on a small mound, guarded by greenery, two holes (6&8) with really puzzling, challenging flight paths through park like trees, and one ill-advised fairway (5, see below).

SOME of the intended tees (3,4,5,6,8&9) are still marked by green metal signage poles (usually leaning a little), so you know where the hole was intended. If you use the map and throw the intended course, you'll find a healthy variety and level of challenge for up to the Recreational to Intermediate skill level player.

However, there are no tee pads or indicators of exactly where to throw from, and some of the posts are missing. I did find one of the laminated card tee signs in the grass on hole 3. The baskets have shark fins that could've been used as intended to indicate next tee direction, but weren't. If you throw from the 'balcony' of the bleachers on hole 1, you have to release your disc above waist height to get over the handrails, so it feels a little awkward for most of us under, say, 6' 6" tall.

The first hole throws over the shot put pit gravel and just a few feet from their concrete slab (which can't be used as a next tee, since shot put 'tees' are not level concrete, but ringed). Some of the intended 'next tee' posts cross back in such a way as to force crossing fairways, or are planted just a few feet from the previous basket (on a 400+ foot hole that didn't need to tee from there). The 'treed' holes are pretty, but significantly grown in, so there is almost no clear line of flight. For instance, on hole 8, though the trees have name plackards (like an arboretum), I'd swear I saw the name Dikimbe on two or three of them approaching the green.

The design has a huge hole (3) across the back of the soccer fields that finishes by a pretty tree, but didn't use it to shape the approach shot. In contrast, the very next hole is reachable, pretty, and uses the small mound and greenery to force a good line on approach. But that one is followed by a shot that literally throws blind across a parking lot and the front edge of the building to a guarded basket. Once you cross the lot and come around the building, you'll see that any spike hyzer could've easily crashed into the picnic tables set out to your left, just out of view. Should probably move this hole (if anybody actually plays the course).

I actually 'played' this course several years ago (it was initially installed in 2014), but didn't follow up because the layout was uncertain to me, and I didn't know if they wanted it listed here. Now that we're in the era of UDisc Wiki-Ubiquity, the course has been listed on DGCR, so I visited to establish and add the map (see), and to give it a brief review. Yellow Springs is still a weird blend of a hippie community from the 1960's plunked into rural Americana. And if you enjoy a good ice cream, you might want to follow your round just north of town at Young's Dairy.

Ps: almost forgot to mention, if you do play here, the ninth basket can be spotted nestled into the backside branches of the pine on the right, where the driveway bends. You almost have to throw past those evergreens to have a look at your putt…
