Object course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 19, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice grass and nice clean good looking campus
-There might be some nice people to guide you around the course.

Cons:

-It is a very poorly if at all marked object course. I did happen to play with a student and that made it bearable.
-No tees
-No baskets
-I don't like the use of buildings as hazards
-This is in the main green area of the school so it will be full of kids during the school year.
-Even with baskets this course would still get a poor ranking. It would be very flat and without any good obstacles.

Other Thoughts:

Go to the other course in town. It isn't great but it at least has baskets! Forgive me for not liking object courses but I have yet to find one that is actually good. You could still make a good course without baskets but most of the object courses I have come across are randomly placed in an area where baskets wouldn't look good.

Simple course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 5, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Fun atmosphere, compact, poles are a big challenge compared to baskets. Good shot variety.

Cons:

No funding is provided for this course, so there are not an information booth, scorecards, a map, marked tees or marked poles. During the school year, when classes switch, the course is crowded with students moving to and fro.

Other Thoughts:

As in the description, play during the school year, and you will likely have people around to help out. A full round takes less than 20 minutes. The nearby Heemstra and West halls are chocked full of disc golf enthusiasts. There's always someone game to play.
