    Review by john501 in course Cedar Glades

    3.00 star(s) Woods and Hills Very pretty park- Heavily wooded with elevation changes througout. Lots of variety- you will use everything in your bag. Intimidating creek hole on #8. Multiple tees. Excellent signage directing you from pin to next tee- much needed as the layout of this course can be a little...

    Review by john501 in course Great River Road State Park

    2.50 star(s) Just OK Easy to navigate. Good course for beginners. Pretty view of the Mighty Mississippi. Not a lot of diversity- very little elevation change, very few wooded holes wherein the woods actually make things interesting. If you're in the area and you are jonesing for some disc golf, this will...

    Review by john501 in course Horseshoe Canyon Ranch

    4.50 star(s) Ozark Challenge Beuatiful Ozark Mountain setting- spectacular views of the valley through which the course moves. Challenging layout that requires both finesse and power. Helpful staff, interesting flora and fauna. $5 a day to play and it would be a bargain at twice the price. Not well...

    Review by john501 in course Burns Park - Blue

    3.50 star(s) Well designed, lots of variety Fairly long course, majority of holes are wooded. Water hazards on several holes from which discs can be easily retrieved. Free. Very little interference from pedestrians and others using the park. Multiple pin placements for most holes. Can be tough to navigate...

    Review by john501 in course Ferry Park

    1.50 star(s) Too Short Well designed given the small park it occupies. Very short course. Lots of pedestrian traffic that frequently interferes with play. No need to bring your driver. A putter and a mid-range will more than suffice for this small, community park based course.

    Review by john501 in course Brandywine Creek State Park

    4.50 star(s) Challenge for Advanced Players Idyllic, pastoral setting. Long, Long, Long. Significant elevation changes on both front and back make for a fun, very challenging round. Wide open. Players who enjoy the finesse required by wooded courses will not find much of interest at Brandywine. Wind can be...

    Review by john501 in course Walnut Creek Park

    4.50 star(s) Beauty in Virginia Very pretty park with a lake in the middle. Rolling, heavily wooded hills offer challenging elevation changes. Course is on the long side, but there are several easy birdie opportunities. Multiple tees for many of the holes make for interesting variety. Costs a few bucks to...

    Review by john501 in course Pleasant View DGC

    3.00 star(s) Great, a little uneven Beautiful setting. Back 9 is mostly wide open and long and requires lots of power. Very well marked, all concrete tees. Holes 1-2 are open and fairly long. The nature of the course shifts abruptly and 3-10 are wooded, fairly short, and tight. Some of these holes don't...

    Review by john501 in course Burns Park - Red

    3.50 star(s) The shorter of the two courses at Burns, this 18 still offers a couple of opportunities to let it rip with your driver. Holes 1-9 are particularly interesting and make very good use of the elevation changes that the park has to offer. Excellent markers make this an easy course to navigate. This...

    Review by john501 in course Sedgley Woods

    3.50 star(s) Great city course Fun and challenging play that requires enough finesse to keep longtime players interested, but easy enough to attract new players. 27 pins, with 3 alternate tees on nearly every hole. Very convenient for city dwellers and visitors. Friendly, very active club which makes for a...
