    Review by MarkN in course Goucher College DGC

    2.00 star(s) discin' in the rain Nice 9 hole course tucked into college campus, largely following border of woods in a park-like setting. Holes offer some variety with elevation important on 2-3 holes, blind holes, trees or other obstacles (e.g. tennis courts) commonly in play, though somewhat repetitive...

    Review by MarkN in course Druid Hill Park - Legacy

    3.00 star(s) Urban park, flexible course Based on reviews here and my limited experience here, there's a strong DG community here - probably the busiest course I've ever played and that was during a drizzly weekday midafternoon with storms looming. When we arrived to course, we were welcomed by an older...

    Review by MarkN in course Lake Montebello DGC

    3.00 star(s) urban park with variety Nice course in moderately busy urban park though activity was away from course. In fact, no one else was on course during nice midweek summer afternoon and very few people encountered away from road around lake. Course offers different layouts with 2 or 3 tees (blue...

    Review by MarkN in course Pinchot State Park - Quaker's Challenge

    4.00 star(s) great woods course Nice woody course tucked into hillside and top in Pinchot State Park, Quaker Race area. Good signage at every hole including distance, pin placement (most have 2 locations), par, and map. Arrows at each basket to next tee. Kiosk below first hole has nice scorecards (incl same...

    Review by MarkN in course Pinchot State Park - Boulder Woods

    3.50 star(s) Nice wooded course Nice wooded course tucked into Pinchot State Park (Conewago area). Concrete pads and well-marked, good signage, scorecards available (no par info, but avail on kiosk). LIttle elevation, several blind holes, several mandos (of questionable necessity on some). The course seems...

    Review by MarkN in course Monroe Community College DGC - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Fun course Nice course with decent amount of variety including woods (predominantly), stream, pond, slight elevation, and one or two grip and rip holes. This is one of the more "playable" woods courses in Roch area with relatively open fairways and open understory (to be fair, I played in...

    Review by MarkN in course Chili DGC

    4.00 star(s) Very nice course with good variety, great setting. Challenges come from unmown rough, inverted bunkers, guarded baskets, raised baskets, creek, & some trees too. Nice signs. Disc only park. Baskets can be difficult to see (all grey) and most tees marked with metal plates on ground which can be...

    Review by MarkN in course Basil Marella Park

    2.50 star(s) Nice woodsy course, trees force accuracy. Fairly easy to follow course. Open understory makes it easy to locate wayward discs. New concrete tees. Busy park, numerous paths through woods can make it difficult to follow course (especially 12--> 13 over creek). May also have to play around folks...

    Review by MarkN in course Sweden Town Park

    2.00 star(s) Disc eating trees Many interesting holes, mostly wooded. Forces broad range of shots on relatively short but challenging holes. Most of the wooded holes lack understory, easy to find wayward discs. Course generally well marked. This course strikes me as a bit sadistic, at least for someone as...

    Review by MarkN in course Churchville Park

    2.50 star(s) Walk in the park Fairly open, park setting. Possible for relative newbies to get respectable score, but can be deceptively challenging including lots of trees (force accuracy or luck) and a stream or roads that can come into play. Trees are frustrating. No signage nor maps available. Tees marked...

    Review by MarkN in course Parma DGC - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Good variety, needs signage Enjoyable course, lots of variety including pond obstacle, wooded holes, open meadow, elevation, small stream. Challenging too including a number of blind holes or heavily wooded. Nice place for a walk with habitat variety and nature trail. Lots of bird houses and bat...
