Very unique beginner friendly. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course for a family round of disc golf. Front 18 are very beginner friendly. This is definitely a course to just have fun at. The newly installed back 9 is the real deal. Holes are much longer and more technical. The next tee marker stones really helped out when navigating the first 18. The homemade baskets were pretty awesome too.

Cons:

The first 18 holes play in and around the campground area. An errant throw could possibly hit someone. There are people walking around so be vigilant when throwing. Some may not like the homemade baskets. We were confused where to park and start our round at. Some of the ferns on the last 9 made it hard to find discs but none were lost. Some of the lanes may need trimmed up along with some tree branches. The tee pads were dirt and some had some tree roots sticking out so just watch you footing.

Other Thoughts:

The first 18 holes are definitely designed for family fun when staying at the campground or for more of your beginners. The newer installed back 9 are definitely for your more experienced players. Some of the fairway lanes were really tight on a couple holes but reasonable. I played here after I was in the area to play another course and had a lot of fun with this one. Definitely if you're in the area you should check this out but I would not say that it is one you have to travel long distance's to play.

Great coarse to just have fun 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 5, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a great course to just have a good time. It may be short but its fun going for an ace on every hole. You can also play the course multiple times since it doesn't take long to play. We usually play 3 rounds. Great for kids and beginners too. There is also a good mix of open and technical shots. All the targets now have a metal basket which is much better then the plastic ones show in the pictures.

Cons:

All the holes are short so you don't get to throw any long drives. The targets aren't that great but they work well enough.

Other Thoughts:

This is my favorite course to just go and have fun. The campground itself is very nice and has a pool, playground for kids, basketball hoops, game room, cabins, camp sites, showers, firewood on site, and a fun disc golf course. We recently camped there for my friends bday and had a blast. We played the course at night and lit up the targets and put glow in the dark tape on our disc's and it worked great. We used a blacklight flashlight on the tape to make it glow before we threw and it was easier to find our disc's then in the daytime. I can't wait to do it again next year. There is almost never anyone there playing so you can do whatever you want. You don't have to play the course the way it's setup. On some holes you can move back a good ways to make the hole longer and also start from one tee spot and throw at a different target, for example, we once started at the 5th tee and threw at the 7th target and called it a par 5. If you really want par 4's and 5's then just make up your own holes if there's now one else on the course. It's best to do this in early spring before the trees and bushes are filled in. The bugs can be bad some days so make sure you have bug repellent. This isn't a course for the serious player but if your looking for a good place to camp or to just have fun then check it out.

Hole in one 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 14, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

It is a very quick play. If you are camping it gives you something else to do. the signs in the ground help a lot to figure out the layout.

Cons:

very short. baskets are homemade and are not the best.

Other Thoughts:

Do not make a road trip for this. The holes are very very short. You are going for an ace every time and all you need to bring is a midrange disc and you will be good for the entire course. They probably could have made a decent 9 hole course but went for 18 instead. They did their best to try and use all of the trees to make some twists and turns.

Best short course I've played 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 15, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great course for beginner. Great use of the trees for such a short course. Each hole has character. Great place to camp and spend the weekend....but not if you are looking to make it a disc golfing vacation as you will be done with a round in 30 minutes.

Cons:

Sooo short. Looks like they have the land to make a real nice course, but I imagine this gets a lot of use by first timers the way it is.

Other Thoughts:

I pulled out my 1983 Innova Eagle for this course and got an ace on hole 8. Also hit the chains on the longest hole #5 and chains on 18 as well. That disc was surely due for an ace. Would be a great course to take a young kid for the first time to play.


Update 2019. Baskets have been updated some and a new 9-hole course with 300-450 foot holes with Innova baskets has been added. Don't miss a chance to play here. It's worth your time. You'll probably have fun. If you enjoy the Tiki course at Thw Blockhouse you'll love the original 18. And the new 9 reminds me of the dark side.
