    Review by BigAl724 in course Hornets Nest Park

    4.50 star(s) My favorite in the Charlotte area I had been looking forward to playing this course for years, it being in the first Final 9 Worlds video I watched with McBeth winning his first title. This is one of those courses that truly feels complete. There is great variety in and out of the woods and...

    Review by BigAl724 in course IDGC - Jim Warner Memorial

    4.00 star(s) I’ll take having this be the third best course on a property Jim Warner is probably the "least cool" course at the IDGC. It doesn't have as much character as the other two (those being insane championship level and super fun), but it still matched my expectations. One of the greatest aspects of...

    I’ve been slacking for a few years, sitting at over 900 for awhile. Glad to finally join the club!

    Review by BigAl724 in course IDGC - WR Jackson Memorial DGC

    4.50 star(s) Easy Peasy Ok, just kidding. But you already knew that. That, or you automatically assumed that I am a liar or a lunatic. I will not surprise many with my review, but WR Jackson is one of the hardest courses I've ever played. It is also one of the best courses out there that is so hard but...

    Review by BigAl724 in course Pendleton King Park

    3.00 star(s) Debating if I should use a “clean and friendly” cliché If I knew nothing about the course from this site, I wouldn't have thought anything out of the ordinary of this just being a pretty standard city park course. Playing here, you would never expect it to be the culprit of long-standing DGCR...

    Review by BigAl724 in course IDGC - Steady Ed Headrick Memorial

    4.50 star(s) Appropriately named after a Legend Of all the courses I've played, this one probably deserves the most to be named after Steady Ed. Bold statement, I know, but it has one of the greatest balances of fun and challenge that I've ever seen. It makes sense that this was the first course built at...

    Review by BigAl724 in course Muskingum University DGC

    1.50 star(s) Great for students, confusing for out of towners Muskingum College DGC is a pretty standard campus course set on beautiful property. It winds its way over the rolling hills and between various patches of trees. It's always encouraging to see a small college provide nice tee pads and baskets...

    Review by BigAl724 in course Mason Sports Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) Playing around a large multi-use park, the course takes you through vastly different types of land - some holes playing around a parking lot, while others feel like they're in the middle of a forest. One of the main reasons this is a highly regarded 9-holer in the region is its variety. Most 18...

    Review by BigAl724 in course Boone Woods Park

    2.50 star(s) Located just minutes away from the world-renowned Idlewild, Boone Woods is the perfect compliment and pretty much the exact opposite. However, it provides enough variety to keep things fun and light. While many nearby courses get a lot of attraction, this one might have the biggest chucker/homer...

    Review by BigAl724 in course Bud Billiard DGC

    3.50 star(s) Bud Billiard is a newer course set in the very nice Brooke Hills Park filled with a ton of things to do. When talking about a good place to bring the whole family, this is one of the best parks I've seen with paddleboats, putt-putt golf, a nearby ball golf course, swimming pool, camping, and...

    Review by BigAl724 in course Broughton's - The Big Buckeye

    1.50 star(s) The Big Buckeye course is in a somewhat unusual setting. When a course is in a "nature and wildlife area" (as this one is) you never know what you're going to get. Fortunately, this is a course where I would think you would rarely run into anyone else as there is not too much else here. You'll...

    Pittsburgh Road Trip

    Sounds like a great trip. I stayed there a few years ago - nice pool and area to hang out. I agree with a lot of the previous posts, but also want to add that Seth Burton is in the same park as Orange Crush, and is a great compliment. Both have two tees and two permanent baskets, so 8 total...

    Review by BigAl724 in course Broughton's - Upper Nine

    0.00 star(s) Disclaimer: I've only been here once, so there is a possibility that the course could improve over time. However, it doesn't seem like it will ever get a whole lot of care. As the course page states, you'll be throwing some downhill shots and a mix of open and wooded. It's nice that there's at...
