Meadowbrook is a multi-use park with a pool , many courts , a cement walking trail and ball fields . Most of the park features at least a part of this course . There are a couple of places to use bathrooms if the park is open ( pool and baseball field ) . There is a cool lion statue to greet you in the middle of a spacious lot . The course starts to the immediate right as you enter .
The Equipment : Almost all of the holes have 3 1/2 X 8' cement tees . A couple of places just have a cement section of lot to throw from ( 16 & 18 ) . The baskets are nice yellow banded Discatchers . There is a great kiosk with map near hole #1 . The signage really stands out here . Very unique looking and with hole# , par , distance ( accurate most of the time ) and flight path .
The Landscape . There is a creek that could come into play on a couple of the early holes . There is also a real small one that you will have to travel over on 16 , 17 and 18 . The course has more of grades than anything . Some will require you to throw near other activities .
The Highlights : Hole #1 236' , has a fairway with a small treeline , and the basket sitting on a mound . #2 has a lane that pushes your drive down a slight right to left treeline . The basket sits part of the way up a hill . #11 is the longest hoe on the course by far ( 525 ) , and the green is bordered by a long brushline all the way down on the right , and a parking lot that comes into play at the end . #16 is a shot over a creek ( sometimes dry ) to the basket beyond . #17 , 256' isn't eventful , but a pool wall might come into play if you overshoot your drive to the right , you trowing over a small creek . The nicest thing about this hole is that you cross a picturesque covered bridge to travel over the creek to the green .
Amenities : really just the nice bridges .
The Time . It took me a little less than an hour to play here . A foursome might take a little less than 2 hours .
Disc Risk : low . The park is well cared for , the overgrowth is only bad near holes 10 & 11 ,and the lion statue will eat whoever tries to run off with your prized driver .

#1 Safety : What to address first !? The first 3 holes place throwing lanes right next to each other . and 5-6 , and 8-10 . If the course is ever busy ( doubt it ) , it could be a problem . As far as safety of the park users , this course is potential Park Patron Pinball . The cement walking path runs in and out of most of the park . The course is all over the park . Ding ! The bridges like #16 and the basket are close to potential park users . Dong ! I can't remember if it's 6 or 7 , but my vote for one of the most dangerous holes in the midwest goes to this one . Your short midrange/putter drive travels over a virtual plethora of outdoor games : Giant chess , shuffleboard , horseshoes , maybe bocce' ball . just think , You can easily clip a player of one game , and get a 2'fer by hitting another of a completely different game !! Think of the excitements !! And the fights !! Clang !!! I think #14 forces a drive over part of a fenced in outfield . Won't Junior be surprised when a disc appears in his glove instead of a baseball !? The creek near #1 could swallow your disc .
Challenge . The course is a deuce fest with a few ace opportunities . Nothing here that you can't get out of a jam by making a good upshot or putt from a bad drive . Several holes have the same feel to them .
The course is fragmented and if the park is crowded with other activities , you may have to skip holes .one thng that this park has a lot of : Shelters . You can place your drive into one of them and play " Shelter Skelter " , watching families scramble for cover . " Peak Time is Freak Time " .

The park just lacks space to put a real and safe 18 hole disc golf course within it's confines . I know I am poking fun at the course , but I actually had fun out here on a Monday morning . Even off peak , there were people walking and swimming . The friendly park personnel helped point me in the right direction for the tee on #16 ( kind of a guard house near the pool area ) . Thanks .
This might be the type of course that you could eat a sandwich in one of the shelters near hole 16 or 17 , and people watch the many park users .
My Recommendation : Not a course to go out of your way for , but if playing off peak , okay for newbies , 1 disc players . families , and dates . Also appealing for the locals .This course might bore the better players . The course is a little out of the way for travelers , unless in the Bascomb area , and is a little off the path for the Course Collector , unless they are coming for Hedges Boyer Park , too . If in the Tiffin, or Findlay area , drop in just to get a look if you want .

+ Meadowbrook is a short 18 holer, with most of the holes tailored towards beginners. You're greeted by a massive lion statue right by the first tee. But unfortunately, the course goes out like a lamb.

+ The first two holes and last two holes are pretty solid. They're short, but have a few different lines with water coming into play on 2, 17, and 18.

+ DISCatcher baskets are in nice shape. The tee signs are some of the best I've seen. Quality material with descriptive maps and distances.

+ Concrete tees for every hole. Easy to navigate as most holes are very close to each other.

- The design is mediocre at best. Some fairways overlap each other, making it tough to play if more than one group is on the course.

- 18 is really, really forced into a space not big enough for it. You could have a very solid 9 hole course here that wouldn't feel so crammed.

- Most holes are under 300' so there isn't much challenged for an advanced player. Only one set of tees.

- May run into issues with pedestrians on several holes. One hole plays over a bocce court, and another is a blind shot over benches and walkways. Can be dangerous at times.

- #18 doesn't end near #1.

Meadowbrook is a nice attempt at a course, but it just isn't very fun. After the first couple holes, you're left with a mediocre and somewhat dangerous experience. You don't need 18 holes for a quality course!

1) Excellent signage and course map kiosk
2) Concrete pads
3) Some elevation changes
4) Pool off of 16,18 for nice scenery during warmer months
5) Highlight holes: 1, 2, 3, 16

1) Small tee pads
2) Poor hole design
3) Some tee sign distances are wrong
3) No pro pads
4) Some holes endanger public (16-18)

When I stepped up to hole 1 and saw the fairly wooded area and raised mound with a target on it, the professional looking tees signs and concrete tees, I thought I was in for a treat. Not so much.

The first glaring thing that I noticed is that a lot of the distances on the tee signs are wrong. I don't know what measuring system they used, but they clearly were not using feet to measure with. Some signs appeared to be right, but others were way off. You'll see what I mean when you play it.

The front 9 plays amongst a fairly wooded area with a few elevation changes, but most of the holes are under 250'. This wouldn't be so bad, but it felt cramped. In fact, hole 2's basket sits on the side of a hill about 60' directly behind hole 3's tee and the fairway takes your disc right over hole 3's tee! I've never seen a worse blunder in hole design as this hole. Luckily, it appears that this course doesn't get used very often, so you won't have to worry about hitting someone on the next tee most likely.

The back 9 turns into an open lackluster design that is monotonous and boring. It finally picks back up with hole 16 (elevation change, basket on other side of a creek), but 16-18 are right next to a children's playground and pool with all kinds of people milling around. Again, another glaring design flaw.

I realize that they had limited space, but they would've been better served by making a fantastic 9 hole course with generous man-sized tees, than trying to cram an 18 holer into this limited space with these kiddie tees.

Even though I blasted this course, it does have some redeeming qualities. The signage is second to none. They clearly spared no expense. The land on the front 9 is beautiful and pleasant to the eye. Very peaceful. And some of the holes were fun to shoot (holes 1, 2, 3, 16 come to mind). It appears to be designed for campers/families and for that reason, it isn't as horrible as it would be had it been designed for hardcore disc golf use.

I might be back, but I'll wait until fall, once all the campers are gone.

1. Nice Course Sign along with nice tee signs
2. Clean Park and well maintained

that's about all the nice things I can say...

1. This course has many many holes that overlap eachother, very dangerous situation on several holes. You basically throw directly at the next tee pad
2. Course plays/weaves directly through a havily used area of the park, weaving in & out of shelter houses, picnic areas, pool-goers you name it. Several holes were simply unplayable due to people parking on fairways, playing cornhole on fairways and much more.
3. Several holes play dangerously close to shelterhouses and this is not very smart at all. Even the best of players are in danger of an errant shot taking out a kid or something.

I always welcome a new course and the hard work the people did to get it in the ground but this course is a disaster waiting to happen. Park goers are going to get smoked along with other golfers making for a very bad round indeed.
This course needs serious re-design work in my opinion before someone gets seriously injured.

Holes 1-7 and 15-18 Are great ,fun and offer lots of risk rewards
Nice cement tees and nice signs
Holes 5-6,7 has the river as a huge water hazard
Holes 15-18 uses a little creek as a hazard without much chance of losing a disc

Holes 1-4 are in a flood plain and are flooded most of the year ,the tees are close to the other fairways of these holes and could put people throwing at risk of being hit .

after hole (6) I think ,there needs to be a next tee sign ,also after 15 i had trouble and 18's tee was tricky also

holes 8-14 are just awful seems like some one else designed them ,holes overlap each other and are a serious safety issue

the course would of fared much better to me
as a nine hole without 8-14 which felt tacked on

Most holes are short and not super challenging

Tee signs distances seemed way off on several holes

OK course don't drive out of your way to play it ,hedges boyer is a much better course and is only a short drive away

course layout takes advantage of all different types of shots. 1-3 through heavy woods, 4 & 5 are wooded tunnel shots with water hazards, 6 & 7 play through the heart of the rec area under some trees. course then opens up until #15, bombs away over wide fields and around the baseball diamond. #16-18 are about as solid as it gets for ending a round - very challenging with two separate water hazards in play.

really easy to navigate and great signage on every hole. concrete tees were a little short in my opinion (maybe an OH thing?) bright yellow innova baskets make your lines easy to pick out.

no crowd whatsoever. of course, we played in late October after a week of torrential downpours, so...

First 3 holes are on a flood plain, so with all the rain this past week it was sloppy to say the least. The fairway on #2 was completely underwater and we had to drive over the hill to reach the pin (great pin placement though my god!)

the first 2 holes require a lot of luck to weave through the overcrowded fairways.. a lot of skinny tree trunks to avoid but no clear path through.

got a lil' confusing once you head out into the open - we drove at the wrong basket more than once. wind a big factor out here as well.

not very challenging persay, but very fun to play.

Great campground with tons of activities in addition to the DG - huge clubhouse area where some people were getting married, life-size chess board with massive pieces, baseball diamond, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard, bmx trail, jungle gym, huge pool with diving board...the list goes on.

overall a really fun round on a course not meant for competitive/professional play. pairing this with nearby Hedges provides a nice 1-2 punch. recommended.

-nice park with plenty to do other than disc golf
-some good holes
-a few holes i think 7-14 are wide open and a few offer longer throws
-holes 1-6 are very technical and good practice on threading the needle
-innova baskets

-holes 1-6 hug the creek so there is possibility of losing a disc
-was difficult to navigate for the 1 time i played
-hole-to-hole navigation is tough and not marked well
-natural tee pads
-some holes play close to the playgrounds where the kids are playing alot

I've only played this course once and it might take some consideration to go back. I realize this course is just starting out, but the combination of the water risk, mosquitos, and some of the holes playing close to the playground I may no go back. The main reason i would possibly play again is because it is a nice alternative to Hedges Boyer Park.

~ Great use of the available land
~ Variety of holes / settings
~ Decent flow, easy to navigate
~ Nice park with plenty of other activities on hand
~ Plenty of shelters, restrooms, trash cans for use
~ Good baskets
~ Holes 1 thru 6 & 16 thru 18 are great

~ Loosely defined tee areas, natural pads
~ Most holes are fairly short and quite a few do not offer much of a challenge
~ Free flow could be difficult during the peak season due to the surrounding facilities
~ Holes 7 thru 15 are uneventful

Situated between Tiffin and Fostoria this course is ideal for my visits to the area as we tend to spend equal amounts of time in both towns. It's great to have another option close by and Meadowbrook is a wonderful compliment to the course at Hedges-Boyer Park in Tiffin. The course starts out threading it's way in a heavily wooded area. Holes 1 through 6 are tight and challenging and by far the best section of the course especially with the basket placement. Holes 7 through 15 are primarily wide open straight shots with minimal obstacles. It's nice to be able to air out some drives, and this section can be birdie central if you are throwing well. Based on the current park use, these holes are about as good as can be expected and there's not much more that can be done to improve upon them. The last three holes are very fun and get back to the initial challenge that the course started with. Some more permanent signage and better identified tee pads will increase the quality of this course significantly. It's a good new course for all levels of play.

Nice Innova Targets
Easy to Navigate
Some pretty cool holes
Something for all skill levels

Tee and Fairways conflict on 1,2,and 3

Holes 9-14 are just plain open.....no real obstructions and no real challenge at all.

Hole 14 has you throwing over a softball field...It was fun to do but not very conventional especially is the field is used. If you play around the field on this hole you are shooting straight for 13s fairway.

There is plenty of woods to use to fix a couple of the plain open holes and add some fun to the course but it doesn't look like it will be used(possible flood plain) however just because it floods every once in a while doesn't make it a bad spot for holes.

Non looping 9's...meanining you can't play 1-9 and quit right back near your car.

This course is overall fun to play but its tournament potential is somewhere between 0 and 2 on a scale to 10. There are lots of holes where players could be throwing right at each other with no obstructions. I'm sure the group involved will see this through out the course of play and make some modifications before tee pads are installed.

-very nice community park with lots of amenities
-great new baskets
-good flow from one hole to the next
-good mix of wooded and open holes
-good mix of distances and shot selections
-several holes with nice rolling hills in play
-lots of parking

-a couple of the flyways play close to each other
-a couple holes play near heavily used shelters
-lots of pedestrian foot traffic

this course is currently "in progress", baskets and temporary signs have been installed. cement tees with be install in spring 2011. this course has a ton of potential but lots of work still needs to be done to get it to where it needs to be. hopefully, by early 2011 it will be good to go.
