3.50 star(s) Technical work mixed in with distance (and just pure DISTANCE in one case). Excellent variety. I threw pretty much everything I knew how to throw, from a thumb roller to a big spike hyzer. Generally, distance is carefully chosen to be just long enough to make shaping/accuracy a challenge for...

4.00 star(s) Links-style indeed Big concrete tees; if anything, they seemed a touch longer than "standard" (whatever the heck that is). Tee signs at every tee, and brand spanking new Discatchers. Several holes (1, 2, 8, 10, 12, A, B, 17) have two baskets in the ground. Holes 7, 10, and 13 also have one...

2.50 star(s) The three most important things in real estate are... It is very technical. Can't argue that. Chances of disc loss are pretty slim - there is rough in play, but it's not thick enough to really eat plastic. Baskets are brand new Discatchers, carpet tees are in good shape, and next tee signage is...

3.00 star(s) A refreshed classic Overall, quite well designed, with very little repetition. A mixture of technical shots and a few longer rips, with smart use of the hillside - uphill, downhill, cross-grade, and valley shots all make appearances, and the uphills are ling enough to add some perceived distance...

3.00 star(s) Barfield mixes some longer, open park style holes with low trees (gah, I miss Alabama pines) with woods holes about 50/50. There are some shot shaping considerations on the open holes, and some longer par 3s, plus some good should be 3s (which are not). Some of the woods holes offer really neat...

4.00 star(s) New Prodigy baskets (see other thoughts below for more details), including a practice basket. Turf tees do pretty good. Tee signs are very nice and about as complete as could realistically be hoped for in such dense woods (exception: new alt pin locations are not shown). Speaking of dense woods...

2.50 star(s) Appropriately named Brand new Prodigy baskets could probably catch North Korea's whole arsenal (see other thoughts below for more detail). Ample directional cues from hole to hole. Port-a-pot by hole 1. About as much fun as you can have with an average hole length of ~213 feet, really, with all...

Hey, we aren't all blessed with steady hands and good cameras, much less the presence of mind to actually think to photograph AND throw.

Unfortunate consequence of a bad format. Not going to comment more broadly.

4.00 star(s) I have to push the pram a lot Baskets are Chainstars in decent condition - age is showing a little, but not much. They feature yellow flags for visibility. Three pin positions per hole (plus one extra on 13). Red tees (which are actually the middle set) are good-sized concrete; these are the...

4.00 star(s) LeBlast from the Past For the most part, awesome holes. Number 1 is a bit bland, but 2 is a visually impressive touch shot down to a kinda naturally raised basket with a stream cutting some elevation into the fairway and woods to either side. From 4 onward until you come back to the woods on 17...

2.50 star(s) Concrete pads, Discatcher baskets. Park seems mostly well kept up. Some nice technical shots through the woods, with a couple actually fun ace runs, and some more park-style lightly wooded holes. A clear stream comes into play on five holes (although it's only a serious consideration on four...

Pencil whipper or innumerate or both? Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

At the risk of sounding a bit out of it... does a supposed long term drift matter? Unless you want to use player ratings to compare players from different eras, which is not at all their purpose, and a rather silly exercise regardless of basis, they're good enough (though admittedly no better)...

4.00 star(s) Some of the prettiest, best land for a disc golf course anywhere. Hole 1 plays to a basket which is on top of an earthen dam - killer view of the lake. Hole 2 proceeds along the same dam to a basket tucked up into the woods just a little bit. Both are long enough that you could conceivably put...
