    Review by maf763 in course French Creek State Park

    4.00 star(s) Course Re-design Two choices of holes on each hole (silver and gold) means that players of different abilities can play together happily. There is a good variety of hole distances, and none are too short or too easy. The tee signs are helpful. Very challenging - you'll need to be precise. Not...

    Review by maf763 in course Lums Pond State Park

    3.00 star(s) Decent course Challenges your accuracy, nice scenery, well-kept except for some signs. Most holes are pretty similar - relatively short and heavily wooded. Not much to add to other reviews. It's a good course I would play again but I don't know that I'd make a special trip for it.

    Review by maf763 in course Windlestrae Park - Original

    2.50 star(s) Windlestrae Some of the holes are very nicely designed; good variety of lengths and open/wooded holes; tee signs helpful Sometimes hard to find next hole, especially when several are skipped; a couple of holes are very narrow and overgrown; some holes aren't mowed - check for ticks after walking...

    Review by maf763 in course Unami Creek Park - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Good course Well designed course, good signs, variety of challenges Wouldn't mind one more open hole for better balance with wooded holes The first three are fairly open, pin placements add to the challenge of the holes; hole 4 brings a nice creek into play; holes 5 - 9 are all wooded, and might...

    Review by maf763 in course Highland Road Park - Old Layout

    1.50 star(s) Tough shape Some interesting holes with decent variety of lengths and obstacles. In very poor shape. Many tee signs missing or torn down, basket on hole 5 is mangled. No course map that I could find to compensate for missing signs. Dirt tees. Disappointing that a potentially good course is in...

    Review by maf763 in course Plains Park DGC

    2.00 star(s) Short course A couple of tight wooded holes provide some challenge for accuracy. Reasonably well kept except for dirt patch tees. Well-marked. Tees - throws on first four holes are bound to hit somebody in playground or on field - short. It's nice to have another course in Montgomery County so I...

    Review by maf763 in course Nockamixon State Park

    4.00 star(s) Tough course Lot of challenges, both for distance and accuracy. Nobody on the course the day I played (which was a beautiful Sunday). Varied terrain. No scorecards, no map on the board at the first tee, no information at the tees. You basically have to scout each hole ahead to see where the...

    Review by maf763 in course Tyler State Park

    5.00 star(s) Tyler Lots of variety; challenging both for distance and accuracy; generally in good shape Difference in distances for pin placement on some holes - 5 can be 307 or 797 feet, 14 can be 230 or 711, 23 can be 203 or 587 - hard to know what your round may be like until you get to each hole. Mostly...

    Review by maf763 in course Francis E. Walter Dam - Original

    4.50 star(s) Dam course Variety of short and long holes. Course is generally in good shape. Can get very soggy after rains and in the spring. Hard to find a couple of holes. Challenging course, doesn't seem to get as much traffic as Hickory Run.

    Review by maf763 in course Hickory Run State Park

    4.50 star(s) Hickory Run Course is in good shape, has a nice variety of holes. Relatively short. Sometimes the picnic tables are in use so errant throws can bonk bystanders in the head. Front nine is pretty open while the back nine is wooded and requires real accuracy. There's an extra hole over a creek and...

    Review by maf763 in course Ft. Washington DGC - Old Layout

    1.00 star(s) Fort Washington Has potential to be a decent 9-hole course. Very poorly maintained and overgrown with thorny bushes. Count on losing at least one disc per round. No baskets, only a 4x4 post Probably better to play in the winter as much of the undergrowth would be cleared out.

    Review by maf763 in course Branchwood Park DGC

    2.00 star(s) Branchwood Well-kept in a nice setting. Very short and very easy. Might be good for a beginner or for introducing young kids to disc golf.

    Review by maf763 in course Salford Township Community Park

    1.00 star(s) Salford Township Half open and half wooded. Holes and tees aren't marked and I don't know of any course maps being available. There are two 2' x 2' rubber squares that serve as tees, but you can only guess if you're going for the right pin. Pretty short course - wouldn't be bad if they marked...
