Hedges Boyer is a multi use park that features cement walking paths , baseball , basketball , tennis , swimming and even an 18 hole disc golf course. There is a medium sized parking lot near hole #1 . Bathrooms might be somewhere else in the park , but I didn't see any that were located close to the course .
The Equipment : There is a kiosk at hole #1 . Not really a course map , but a bunch of fading 8 1/2 X 11 sheets that give the information about each hole individually . There are 2 cement tee pads on most of the 18 holes here . They look to be about 3 1/2' X 8' . The signage is decent , giving you just the basics . The baskets are yellow banded Discatchers . A bottom rung on most of the baskets will have red and/or blue tape tape to help navigate you to the next tee .
The Landscape : Hedges Boyer was clean and the course was mowed . when I was here . The park has 3 level sections . 1-3 +5 , #7 and 13-18 . The rest have some inclines , declines and a couple of hills to throw off of or up . Clever basket placements of some holes either hide or make it hard to get to the pin , and course designers made good use of the trees . Make sure that you know that the whole course is park-style .
The highlights : #4 was a nice slowly descending 402' ( 324 from the red tee ) hole forcing your drive between trees and trying to wrap around a large tree at the end . #11 is a fun tunnel putter shot ( 174' ) straight downhill . Throw heavy , because the wind might pick it up at the end . #14 , the second longest hole on the course ( R=405' , B=501' ) is a tight shot that has the creek in play on the right , and some trees in play on the left .
Signature Hole : #8 , r=315 b=459 , starts out level and forces your 2nd shot up a hill and to the right to make the basket .
I am not sure how popular the course is , but I was one of only 2 people playing the course on a Monday on an early afternoon . You might have the course to yourself or battle few for a tee pad .
Time : It took me a little over an hour to play here . A group of 4 could get through in a little over 2 hours .
Disc Risk : Somewhat low . There is a spot on 14 where you could lose a driver in the water , and there is some overgrowth on holes like #5 and #8 , but if you don't overthrow or take a lot of chances , I don't see you losing a disc .

#1 Safety : Not huge , but there are park users that walk the cement trails . After #3's hole , you won't come across them until about hole #10 . Be careful throwing the downhill #11 . There is a 4-way of pedestrians you could hit . Be courteous .
#2 Navigation : 9-10 , 10-11 , finding the tees for #12 , and #14 . . Finding the tee to #6 . These are all places that could back you up . Print a map .
#3 Lack Of OMG . No holes really stood out . #14 was nice as was #8 , but the course might not hold your interest the whole 18 .
Amenities were lacking . No nearby shelters , no bathroom , no benches .
The Loooong walk back from 18 . After leaving the #18 basket , you have to get on the path to the right , which will lead to an uphill trek . Hope you still have water left .

This is a nice cared for park . Scenic enough with it's mature trees , it is a pleasant walk through the course . The design is not flawless , but the designer was given enough of the park , and was allowed to put dual tees into most of the holes , to make the course work . I enjoyed my round here . Just enough variety and fun to keep you occupied . and not so popular that you have to fight for tee pads with other locals .
My Recommendation : With its 2 tee pads , good for newbies , 1 Discers and locals to progress at their own rate . The back tees are just challenging enough to hold intermediates and ams , and maybe just fun enough ( minus the elevation ) for a pro to come out and work on his midrange game . A little off the beaten path for the traveler, there are other courses to play that are closer to I-90 and I-75 . The Course Collector can pick this one up along with nearby . and either head up to Walsh park ( North ) or Northbend and Firestine (West ) . Don't go out of your way , but if within 15-20 miles of Tiffin , you may want to give this course a play .

+ Hedges Boyer is a beautiful Tiffin park with all the bells and whistles a quality recreation park has. Swimming pool, basketball, tennis, baseball, trails, etc. The park is set among some gently rolling hills, patchy woodland, and a large creek winding right through the middle. The park itself is pretty huge.

+ This is a classic park course. Not really too difficult, but not overly easy either. Most holes play through some scattered trees near ballfields and such.

+ There's a few pretty sweet holes here at Hedges Boyer. #11 and #14 were my favorites. #11 is under 200' playing at less than 100'. It's off of a steep hill, and a soft putter toss will get you to the pin. Wind will always be a challenge, and a strong tailwind could sail your disc into the bottomless pit of water behind the basket. Makes you think before you throw. #14 Is a huge risk-reward hole. A strong anhyzer over the creek will leave you in great position to birdie the par 4, but if you don't get enough flip, you'll lose the disc guaranteed. A safe play will likely get you your par.

+ Two sets of concrete tees on several holes. It's a fun place for beginners and advanced players alike.

+ Tee signs are very descriptive, and would be ideal for any course out there. DISCatcher baskets are in great shape. Each basket has colored tape on it to guide you to the next hole. Navigation was never an issue.

- Most advanced players will have no problem shooting under par, even from the blue tees. I play in intermediate for tourneys, and I shot even par for the course (under par if it wasn't for an errant approach on #17).

- Holes 15-18 were a little bland and forgettable. 15 makes you walk all the way back up it's fairway to get to 16.

- 17 was a little dangerous due to activities at the pavilion. I had to use a putter off the tee to avoid injury or damage to property.

- There's a few tee areas with low hanging branches and limbs that should be removed. #11 long had some twigs that need to be cut.

- Pedestrians could be an issue due to the amount of traffic this park gets. It was really busy on a cold spring morning, so I expect it to get even busier during warmer months.

Overall, Hedges Boyer was designed really well. There's some unique twists hidden within this fun, classic park course.

-Never really busy
-Well cut fairways
-Good amount of elevation
-Good mix of wooded and open holes
-Multiple Tees
-Nice baskets
-Lots of things to do at the park afterwards (Beach volleyball, pool, basketball, etc.)

-While all the holes are good, none of them stand out as absolutely amazing holes.
-Long walks between a few holes

Basically what I was saying with my first con is; this course does not really have a signature hole. That being said though, this course has a lot of fun holes, but none of them stand out as "wow!"

Hole 5 has a very steep drop-off afterwards, and if you overshoot the hole, your disc will be at the bottom of a 70 foot hill, that is very steep and difficult to climb back up. (Just keep this in mind before you throw). This isn't a pro or con, because it can be a nuisance to overshoot, but it adds a challenge and makes it one of my "fun holes."

Parklike setting
Impossible to lose a disc
Elevation!
Beginner Friendly

Some holes are a bit boring
Course intersects park, so you must watch for others on some holes

Overall not a bad course, but nothing extremely memorable. If in the area, I would play a different course again before coming back. That said, it seems well kept up, beginner friendly, and located very conveniently to get to. Definitely worth playing once, but next time I run through I'll be curious to try a different course.

Well marked and well designed course offers a variety of shots and takes advantage of shifting terrain, keeping the static at bay. Concrete tees provide sure footing even on the wettest of days (as this was), and bright yellow baskets are easy to spot. Course fits well into an already busy park; a fine addition to the landscape. Quite a few signature holes amp up the experience of a typical city park-style round.

Nothing too bad to say about this course. We started playing at #13 because we didn't drive far enough into the park to see the massive sign at #1...so that was our bad. #14-18 are in lowlands that were puddled out (especially under the grouping of trees on #15). Massive amounts of rain over the previous few days made it muddy throughout. I could see on a busy summer day that parkgoers would be in the way on a few shots (especially #1). A few "next holes" were hard to spot, but plenty of baskets actually had directions written on the top rim telling you where to go!

#1 blasts over a huge open field and ends on the other side. #2-4 shirk this open area and are nice plays under some sparse mature trees. #5 hugs a massively steep ravine with its pin precariously tucked...KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS if your disc goes down it is gone. #6 is the first signature hole - a beautiful overlook down into the woods, with an alley that looks far more open that it actually is... #7 is a straight shot with heavy woods on either side. #8 takes you back up the hill you went down two holes back, and it a difficult upshot (another sig hole). #9 is wide open but be careful of the steep hill leading down the baseball diamond... #10 is a beauty! a rip over rolling hills with the river coming into play on your right. #11 is less than 200' almost straight down - an easy birdie if you are accurate. #12 and 13 are a little too easy, and the last holes take you over the bridge and into the lowlands. #18 finishes back at the river so be careful not to overshoot form the tee.

overall a good round and i think a cut above your standard city park course. the signature holes raised this up above the 2.5 rating. pair this course with Meadowbrook and you've got yourself a nice outing.

-Most holes are open
-Some holes are short and others long good for practicing close shots and letting one fly
-Good mix of RH holes and LH holes
-Hole-to-hole mapped out nicely
-Concrete throwing surfaces
-Beautiful park with other things to do

-Hole 18 is not close to hole one so a little walk to parking lot

Overall this is a fantastic course. I live near Tiffin, so I get to play this course often. I have been playing for 4 years and have only played about 6 different courses and I would rate this among the top of courses I have played.

Park is set in a huge park with rolling holes ,and has two sets of tees per hole and has water in play on several holes .
You start in a open setting then get into so really wooded holes 6-8 this is where the course really shines and wish it used more of the wooded area .
holes 10-15 has water in play on the right side which doesn't really come into play unless you shank your shot .
hole 10 plays downhill with water to the right on a nice rolling hill.
11 plays on top of a steep hill and its a easy putter hole but is a improvement over the old 11 .
hole 13,15,16,17 are boring open holes that are not really good .
hole 18 is a good finishes a short hole with pines on the left and water behind the basket

Some holes are just open boring holes and kill the flow of the course .
most holes are really short .
going down 11 is dangerous when wet

Two sets of concrete tees and double chain baskets make for adequate play from an equipment perspective. The more open holes are completely open to sparsely wooded, while the technical holes (#5-8) can be brutal if you miss your line. There are a few bomber holes out here that really let you air out a disc; I'm a fan of courses with at least a couple of those. Overall a good mix of distances here. There's a few holes with elevation in play which is nice to see. Two of the downhill shots are short but with significant drops which makes for shots you don't often see. Hole #8 is a great hole that requires a drive off the tee to a rather small landing zone to set up the next shot through the wooded uphill alley to the basket; carding a three on this hole means two well executed shots and a made putt. It'd be nice to see a few more of those holes.

The DG course is located in a nice multi-use park with a swimming pool and restroom facilities. The course info board located by hole #1 is one of the nicest presentations I've seen.

There's a lot of walking between holes at this course. Hole #18 finishes significantly far from where hole #1 starts. The direct descent from tee to basket on hole #11 can be flat out dangerous for anyone not in good shape. There aren't a lot of twisting fairways here as most of the holes are pretty straight shots and slightly favor RHBH throwers. The water nearby the course never really comes into play unless you throw long on #18. The short tees are really easy here.

For the most part, the difficulty level of this course is not too high allowing INT+ players to score pretty well here. I played this course at 2010 PDGA AM Worlds for both Mixed Doubles (Best Shot) and Singles. While I enjoyed the course, overall I found it mostly average and wouldn't consider it a destination course: playable if you're in the area but not worth going far out of your way for. Note that a lot of the reviews posted here are outdated after the course got a face lift for the 2010 AM Worlds.

- Nice cement tees
-Good mix tight wooded and open holes
-Nice Use of elevation
-Informative tee signs
-Bathrooms (port-a-potties) and drinking fountains made plentiful throughout the course
-Very well kept.

-Other park goers can be dangerously close to fairways
-Long walk from hole 9 to tee 10
-long walk from 18 to parking
-Not closer to where I live

This course could be better but any of the cons here are just nit picking. Its not a perfect course but it is very well maintained in a park that has everything including disc golf!

It starts off pretty mondain and flat for about 5 holes, then you go down in the woods for the next 4 where I thought there were a lot of technical, wooded mid range shots that play with elevation changes. From there you walk for a ways around the pool to start 10 and once again have some nice elevation changes and trees just enough to ruin your ace.

Around hole 15 or 16 it gets flat again and the trees begin to be reduced and hole 17 plays with a pavillion pretty close to a danger zone for a slightly griplocked throw but just use restraint if you see people there.

Overall I love this course! It kind of puts me in mind of an easier Roscoe Ewing which is a lot better for my fiance and kids who struggle a lot, or not to mention my bad days. I just wish it was closer. Every town should be so lucky to have a park like this.

If you are in the area or passing through (like I was) this is a must stop!

-Newly constructed, concrete tee pads.

-Multiple tees on several holes.

-Nice mixture of open vs. wooded holes.

-Some unique hole layouts including #5, #6, #8, #11, #12 and #14.

-Course can be hard to navigate if playing for the first time, you must walk across the bridge after #13 to get to the back 5 holes that seem to be segregated from the rest of the course.

-#18 ends rather far from the first tee and parking areas, but is never a big deal to me as you can enjoy a walk along the creek.

Having returned to this course recently after about two years, I was pleasantly surprised to find freshly constructed, concrete tee pads as well as a few new hole layouts.

Hole #5 has changed in that it is no longer a straight shot off the tee. The hole now plays shorter but the tees are tucked against the woods and plays to a left-to-right disc flight, into a neatly tucked away basket.

The old #8 that is listed on the course map no longer exists and it has replaced the old #9 which includes an uphill shot to a low tree branch-guarded basket. The new #9 has replaced the '9-to-10' hole, which was originally meant as a buffer between the walk from 9 to 10.

Hole #11, although requiring a trek up the hill after #10, displays a beautiful elevated tee looking down toward the creek and landing area. My favorite hole to play.

Hole #17 plays much longer than I remember, with the front tees at 387 ft. and the back tees at 624 ft.

After recently playing this course I took it upon myself to update the hole lengths and par as the course has listed on the tee signs.
These differ from the course map, but after reading several reviews that the course plays rather easy to its par, I felt the par score on the tee signs made it much more difficult to score low.

~Large, well maintained city park with lots of activity.
~Course is in very good condition with 10' concrete tee pads, nice baskets and good signage.
~Enjoyed the layout of the course, most of the holes are well placed and provide for a multitude of skill shots.
~Scenery is hard to beat for North West Ohio.
~Very impressed overall.

~No need for the Par 4's and Par 5's should be 4's at best.
~Played the short tees as this was my 1st experience here and overall the course played too easy, even for a guy like me with minimal experience at the game.
~Could use some bigger/better directional signs between a few of the holes, I had no idea where the No. 10 Tee was and ended up walking back to the board next to No. 1 to find out for sure.

My Valkyrie didn't see too much action as most holes were played using my Teebird, Roc, and Aviar, in fact I think I only used 5 different discs over the entire round. Most holes are fairly short in distance, but this is countered by the need for more control to navigate through the trees and other obstacles.
I found this to be a real nice technical course along with a couple odd ball holes (one that requires going straight up hill through a narrow gap and then another that goes down hill fairly dramatically).
Tiffin is the town I was born and raised in so Hedges-Boyer Park is a part of my childhood, and I am very glad to see a course of this caliber here. This will be a destination of mine whenever I come back for a visit.

The park is beautiful and well-maintained. There is very little schule on the course and slight chance of losing discs.

The course provides a solid blue level challenge from the back tees and white level challenge from the front tees, thus providing a fun challenge to nearly the whole spectrum of disc golfers.

There is ample opportunity to utilize power and a few holes that require strategy. Several of the holes are unique aesthetically and many of the baskets are nicely framed.

Most of the holes require good shots in order to earn birdies.

The tee signs, cement pads and baskets are all adequate and in good repair. The course flow is intuitive.

The course is placed nicely within the park to minimize potential conflicts with other park users.

The park has a pool for post-round cooling off.

The course is a bit too wide-open for my taste.

The design is biased towards forcing low shots at every opportunity. It feels a bit redundant.

Hole 18 finishes a long ways from the primary parking area near the first tee.

Very friendly locals.

Don't be a dirty discer! Leave the course cleaner than you found it.

Good mix of holes
Nice cement tees with both pro and short layout
holes across the river play longer with a technical touch.

Woods holes are clear enough where losing a disc is hard .

the tee pads are nice

course is huge

water holes add a risk but only if you throw without control

To easy from short tees

not every tee has a pro tee

long walks between some holes

some next tee signs for some of the wooded holes would be nice

If your in the area play it ,but i wouldn't drive way out of my way to play here.

A am 1 player will shoot way under from the short tees but the long tees make for a good challenge

All tee pads are concrete.
Easy flow, but after 13, #14 is hard to find. Turn right and cross the bridge.
#11 red tee is a beautiful hole - down a steep hill with the river far to the right. The wild blackberries were ripe at the bottom of the hill path - YUM!
#18 has the river directly behind the hole - my disc got wet.

Mostly very easy and open.
Sign marking the way to 14 would be helpful.

Decent course, well worth playing. Not a destination course, though.

The course in in an excellent city park. The holes are a good distance apart with almost no conflicting fairways. Lots of players enjoying the course. Challenging pro tees. Easy course to learn on. Very easy to navigate. Concrete tee pads. Newly designed.

Some holes have a lackluster look. A lot of easy shots from the am tees. People can sometimes be in the way. Cars often park on fairways during football season

I would advise checking the course out for yourself. I participate in a summer league at tiffin on thursdays nights. It is a nice course and has been redesigned since the other reviews so their descriptions won't be as acurate as you'd like. Plus I am a little biased towards the course. Is it the best I've played..No...Is it worth playing. Yes and frequently at that.

Easy holes. Nice, family park setting. Mostly empty. Mature trees offer shade from the sun. Great for RHBH players with weak arms. Good course to learn on.

Easy course with unimaginitive pin placement. Confusing layout. No indications where the tee pads are. Holes placed dangerously close to walking paths, street paths, playgrounds, tennis courts and fast moving cars.

Despite the low rating I really enjoyed playing this course. I'm typically a +9 player, and I ended up -2. Beginners will enjoy playing this course but advanced players will find it very easy.

I like the course but the pars are extremely easy, even for beginners. The par 5s should be 4s, and most 4s should be 3s.

At some points I was afraid of hitting a walker or car driving through the park. The layout is VERY confusing, even with a printed map. Sometimes you have to backtrack onto holes to get to other tee pads, making it easy for someone to hit you with a disc. Watch out for the confusing 6-7-8 tee placement.

But while the course is really easy, it teaches beginners how to throw to the right and left. The easy holes will not only boost your ego, but it'll actually help you throw better. You can play the entire course with a ROC and a putter.

It offers some fun holes AND a practice tee (shown as 9 to 10 on the map).

Really enjoyed hole 14 with a water hazard on the right, difficult pin placement and large mature trees to throw round. By far the course's signature hole.

I'll play the course again when I visit Tiffin, not for the competition but for the fun throws and to get out of the house.

Two Set of Tees
Baskets are in Great Shape
Variety of Distances
Made Great Use of What Elevation is There
Water Hazards in Play On A of Couple Holes

Natural Tees Are Slippery When the Least Bit Wet
Blue Tees Can be Hard to Find
Navigation Could be an Issue (Print Map)
Park Can Get Crowded (Other park users will block fairways and baskets by parking, playing baseball, etc.)
Most Holes are Wide Open

Course would be a great course to learn on. There is just enough distance without a lot of obstacles, so you can really concentrate on controlling the disc while still getting distance without having to worry about the rough getting in the way on most holes.

Course can be hard to navigate in some spots. At the beginning of the course, right next to hole 1 there's a bulletin board with a map of each hole. One of the nicest boards I have seen at a course. This will come in handy if you are going to play from the blue tees, as all the tee markers are at the shorter, red tees. We actually took a picture to use a reference throughout the course. The first 6 holes are all pretty easy to navigate. After hole #6 you can't see the tee pad for seven. If you are looking at the basket for #6 from the tee pad, after you play the hole head to the right, its a bit of a walk down the path, but follow it around to the left and you will come to #7.

There is also a long walk between holes 9 and 10. After 9 head towards the blacktop path and over towards the picnic areas and pool, you will see the tee pad for 10. After 10 you can either stay at the bottom of the hill and follow the walkway to the blue tee, or head up the hill and around to the right for the red tee. The red tee is much more fun on this hole in my opinion, but there is also a lot more change you will put it into the river from there as well.

After hole # 12, cross over the bridge to finish up the rest of the holes. Once across the bridge head to your left, you have to walk past the basket for #14 to get to the tee pad. This seems like it could be a bit annoying if it was crowded. After that its easy to finish out, although there is a pretty long walk back to the parking lot after hole #18.

Like I said pretty good course for beginners, and the distance and shots from the blues could make it more of a challenge for advanced players. I wouldn't say I would make the trip back up to play this one, but I might stop by again if I was in the area hitting up some other courses.

- good beginner course
- great signs on the tee pad
- each hole is sponsored by a local business...great idea for people trying to set up a course in their area to reduce expenses to the city.
- At #1 tee, there is a 10' x 6' board that has each hole mapped and their sponsor.
-Discatcher baskets

This course is in a large city park with walking paths, baseball, soccer, BMX track etc. The course is laid out so only a few holes will get in the way of the other activities. The design is decent with the lay of the land. The course has 6 holes of 350' plus from the blue tees.

The course map and tee signs are set up for the red tees which are dirt / grass tees. The blue tees are also dirt / grass but they should be marked with a wooden stake.

- dirt / grass pads
- some holes come close to walking paths
- not very technical but the designer tried to hide the baskets amongst trees when he could.

This would make a great course to learn the game on. I enjoyed it but I really prefer wooded courses which this is not. The park in general is a great family park for all of its attractions.
