Nice course but with big safety concerns 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 27, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

On the positive side, this course made great use of the terrain and managed to squeeze a wide variety of shots into just nine holes. There are tight tunnels, medium woods, and wide open shots, there is good elevation change. The concrete tee pads are tiny, but at least there are tee pads and arrows, which make the course easy to navigate even for a first timer. The baskets are sturdy and easy to locate. If the course were on it's own property, I'd rate it highly for a nine hole course, BUT...

Cons:

The course winds through a multi-use area with little regard for the surroundings. There are shots that go over ball fields, over walking paths and bike paths, and over a beach. There are blind shots with the landing zone in recreational areas. The drive for hole 7 goes over the top of the hole 3 green. There is a public bathroom near one fairway that has disc dents in the walls. I had to knock points off my rating because of the safety issues.

Other Thoughts:

I was lucky enough to play the course on a drizzly weekday and the place was nearly empty, so I actually had a really enjoyable round. But on a busy summer day, I would have serious safety concerns. Unless people are really careful, or the course is redesigned, someone is likely to get hurt.

Fantastic course; much better than previously stated 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 30, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Prouty Beach is on a campground that contains many other activities at lakeside, as well as camping.

Thoughtful and strategic paths

Beautiful scenery

Sturdy baskets without unfair locations.

Well contained within a small area, looping back towards the start; however, does not feel congested

Cons:

Tees were not immediately clear as to their location; however, they could be figured out with a little walking around, as well as reference to the maps (which are in a bin attached to the entrance sign).

Could have some interference from other campground-goers, especially on Hole #6 (the beach hole).

Other Thoughts:

I do not know what the course looked like at the time of the previous review. However, I can only imagine that much work was put into this course, as it was much better than previously described. You would not be disappointed in playing this course if you're in the area- it would also be a fantastic place to camp for the weekend and get many rounds of disc golf in!

Don't waste your time 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Quality baskets, public park, restrooms, water.

Cons:

every thing else.Bad signage, no logical flow, numerous baskets within 20 feet of each other.grounds are not utilized efficiently.

Other Thoughts:

This course was like somebody had 9 baskets and randomly placed them in the ground, which is really a shame as the property is beautiful and could host a nice 9-18 hole course with a little mindful planning.
