For the best. They've penned three reviews, and all of them have been 5.0 (with the one for their own course having been removed, as mentioned).Hmm. Looks like the 5.0 review by the course designer has been removed.
There be a new one... 1 Course Played, 1 Review, 3 sentences, 5 starsHmm. Looks like the 5.0 review by the course designer has been removed.

First, this is probably a pretty good course. But it's a bit suspect, when the course is 12 years old, but the only 4 reviews (5 if that other one wasn't removed) were written within the last few weeks, and all say about the same thing, with little real information to back up the rating. I think they all said "owner is always making improvements" and "the scenery is great". Nice try to help out the owner, but not really very helpful reviews--at all.There be a new one... 1 Course Played, 1 Review, 3 sentences, 5 stars

I agree, "probably" a solid course with an owner who passionately cares for it and is always working to make it better. The reviews don't do the job of letting people know what makes the course worth 5 stars, or the experience I should expect. This is one of those courses that, based on reviews, I wouldn't make a trip to go play. However, if I was in the area already playing something else, I'd swing by this to give it a shot and hopefully provide a better view of the experience and course. I feel like as mentioned before, the thorough reviews on this site are what keep us from diluting into that other App. And the course reviews are what actually brought me to this site, because that other App was pretty sparse in detailed information and ratings on courses, making run down city parks appear to be 4.5 star gems on the site.First, this is probably a pretty good course.

I'm on it. I've started putting sentences together and hope to publish a review in the next day. While I'm accused of having a photographic memory of disc golf courses, it was about 1.5 years ago that I played Black Widow.we need one of the trusted reviewers that played it to give a real review; looking at you @Cerealman
The owner is a swell guy. However, he has been asking on his Facebook course page for DGCR reviews. Sigh.There be a new one... 1 Course Played, 1 Review, 3 sentences, 5 stars

I agree - while this review seemed like a newbie/homer review to me, it was actually pretty well written and helpful. Certainly beats the newbie one liners.I know there is a significant difference in the disc rating for this course, but I gave both reviews a thumb up for being HELPFUL. With the map and the pictures, both reviews help me visualize the course very well. Folks can have different reasons for the rating number given. Eventually, with enough quality reviews, the (DGCR at least) rating number will settle in to something appropriate. But like I say, I'm more interested in what's written.
Thanks for writing them!
Yeah, I didn't thumbs down that review because he actually thought it out and spent more than 30 seconds typing it out and it had useful information. The problem comes in when they over-inflate to 5 stars a course that is probably 3 1/2 due to some kind of bias, such as a hand job by the designer/ owner.I agree - while this review seemed like a newbie/homer review to me, it was actually pretty well written and helpful.

I have given out more downvotes than the average guy, but man there have been more stonkers this week than since the site refresh!
