    Review by ibekent in course Franklin Park

    3.00 star(s) Wiiiiide Open This course was recently upgraded. The upgrades are a massive improvement. The course now has three tees and two pins per hole and some excellent tee signs. Played from the long tees to the dark pins, it has decent flow and offers significant challenges both in distance and...

    Review by ibekent in course Shadybrook Park

    2.50 star(s) Laid Back. This is a private course, and so, as you might expect, it is very well kept. The grass is closely mowed. There is no garbage; I don't even recall seeing sticks on the ground. Clean, garffiti-less picnic tables abound. Young children frolick in the nearby field, and older men play...

    Review by ibekent in course East Frankfort Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) I Like This Course This is a pretty park with some creative holes that require precision landings. It is well kept and has nice (if narrow) tees and baskets. It has benches, garbage cans, and restrooms betwen 5 & 6 as well as between 12 & 13. It's short enough that I can play it after work...

    Review by ibekent in course Lake Mingo DGC

    2.50 star(s) My old home course. Lake Mingo is a shortish, nine-hole course in a public park, and an excellent place to learn disc golf. Three holes are long enough to let you learn distance. Four holes require (relatively simple) technical throws. The course opens with a shot over (or around) the corner...

    Review by ibekent in course Signal View DGC

    3.00 star(s) I liked it This is a very well cared for course with excellent signs and amenities. It is a quick nine holes that neatly starts and ends with open shots near the parking lot and wraps through woods and fields around a multi-use park. Other park activities do not generally interfere with the...

    Review by ibekent in course Riney B DGC

    4.00 star(s) The best reason to visit Nicholasville This is my favorite course. It is challenging for 24 holes and requires an unusually wide variety of skills, distances, and angles. It has excellent flow, large tee pads, and excellent signs. The alternate pin locations are significant, making this a very...

    Review by ibekent in course Sherando Park

    3.50 star(s) Doglegs and Angles and Ivy. Oh my. This course sits on its own land apart from the baseball and soccer fields. It is a mix of fairly long open shots (after the first one) and wooded shots which require a moment's thought. The tees are mostly large, concrete trapezoids most of which are...

    Review by ibekent in course Jim Barnett Park

    3.00 star(s) Well cared for Excellent tee and direction signs, large, grippy tee pads, ubiquitous benches, water, and garbage cans, quality baskets, convenient parking, and central location in Winchester make this course an enjoyable outing. The newly expanded, 18-hole layout improves the course...

    Review by ibekent in course Veteran's Park - Original

    3.50 star(s) Very Fun This course features large, trapezoidal tees that allow full run-ups for left or right handers. It has a variety of creative and fun holes through tight, wooded fairways which often include steep (seriously steep) up or downhill runs and make good use of the natural obstacles. The...

    Review by ibekent in course Old Warrior Run DGC

    4.50 star(s) Absolutely Worth the Drive. I've played few courses with better holes. I've played few courses that are as well marked and kept. I don't think I've ever played a course with the combination of both. The course has cool, distinctive tee signs (with bag hooks) that are easy to locate; they...

    Review by ibekent in course Veterans Park DGC

    3.50 star(s) Very Good Course Veterans is the second-most difficult course in the Lexington area, but unlike Riney B (the hardest) you can play it in an hour and a half without feeling worn out. Veterans strikes a nice balance: it offers high challenge and high risk/reward but can still be an enjoyable day...

    Review by ibekent in course Bowers Park

    4.00 star(s) Loved It This course feels cared for. The extra-large carpet tees are flat and solid. The baskets are all in good shape. Each hole has multiple tees and pins. Major elevation changes, OB water in gullies that criss-cross the course, and shots that let your discs soar over valleys make for a...

    Review by ibekent in course Greg Carter Memorial DGC - Old Layout

    2.50 star(s) Short and Fun, But Not Too Easy I liked this course. It's pretty and fun. It is largely made up of short-to-medium shots with narrow fairways in the woods, but it also has some open shots entering, exiting, and skirting the edge of the woods. It has some quirky shots with well-placed baskets...

    Review by ibekent in course Lake Lowndes State Park

    2.50 star(s) Not Bad. Quality baskets, grippy concrete tees, and a decent course map (on this site) make this an enjoyable experience in a very well kept state park. The course is pretty and pleasant, and is mostly open shots that weave through scattered pines. If you know where the next hole is, there are...
