    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Goucher College DGC

    3.00 star(s) Quick & fun college 9 hole Beginner friendly, fun, quick to play. Real easy to play through twice for a fast 18. Moderately hilly, with enough trees to provide obstacle and challenge. Some risk-reward opportunities. Course flows relatively well, without any signage or markers. Benches and trash...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Ecker Hill DGC

    3.50 star(s) Elevate your game at Ecker Hill Welcome to Ecker Hill: you throw up the hill, you throw down the hill. This summarizes what to expect as you encounter perhaps the most dramatic and challenging elevation changes that CT disc golf has to offer. Plenty of twists and turns along the way, tees...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Davis Forest DGC

    3.50 star(s) Raw, with lots of promise Located in the Davis Forest at the dead end of a residential road, it was easy to find for an out-of-town visitor. As anticipated with a course in its infancy, conditions are raw but totally playable. Completely wooded, tight fairways, mostly blind tee shots, with lots...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Hackett Hill

    2.50 star(s) Great location, potential here Excellent mix of open field holes and tight wooded ones, great use of the land with many surprising topographic features. Lots of unexpected sloped hills, the pin often placed precariously to escalate the challenge and punish an ill-fated approach. Plenty of...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course West Thompson Lake

    4.50 star(s) Favorite course in CT My favorite course in the state, with some of the most unique and memorable holes that I've played so far. Very fun and challenging, a mixture of wooded and open holes, creative pin placements on a few, and some great use of water OB. Incredibly scenic and free to play. Can...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Pomfret Recreation DGC

    3.00 star(s) Handsome little 9 hole Makes a great warm up course to play before venturing to West Thompson Lake, only 15-20 minutes away. Won't really need the driver here. Short and mostly flat through some scenic woods. Secluded, not crowded. Layout is easy to follow even without signage. Love the...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Cross Farms

    3.50 star(s) Tightly wooded but well maintained Really fun and free to play, clever pin placement on many holes with a nice mix of terrain. Practice basket is nice, too. Fairways often tight but defined, ground remarkably clear of under brush. No trouble finding your disc on a poor shot here. Popular and...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Sunrise Park

    2.50 star(s) Fun and interesting little course 9 holes and 4 baskets shows some creativity, and sure looks a lot easier than it is. Fun to play and a great one to bring beginners. Good place to try out new discs and see what you have. Pricker rough is thick and brutal, and will punish the errant toss. Spent...

    Review by S. Flavius Mercurius in course Lufbery Park

    3.00 star(s) Great Potential Fun, challenging, tight and technical. Completely wooded. Flows nicely from hole to hole, good use of terrain with a mix of elevation and turns. Navigation simple even before signs added on all holes except the majestic 8, which speaks for itself, I guess. Tee pads are natural...
