There's 5 baskets, so...yeah. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 10, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

There's a playground, water fountains, restrooms, and you'll probably have the course to yourself.

There's 5 DISCatcher baskets. Hole 1 has a (descriptive) tee sign and is actually a short tunnel shot between large, mature trees. The baskets are numbered. Park maintenance seems really good. I played hole 1, and it was a good start, but then...

Cons:

...it just stopped being a course. There were no more tee signs. And I can't imagine you're supposed to throw from basket to basket because that would make for like 500+ ft holes which seems quite different from the 167 ft hole 1. Sorry, I'm not creative; I want to know how the course is meant to be played (and UDisc had no layout to follow).

There's roads that can easily be thrown into plus a picnic shelter area close to 5's basket. The basket on 4 is leaning. There's a loud, barking (albeit chained) dog in the yard of one of the neighbors.

Other Thoughts:

The tee sign on 1 tells me this is supposed to be a course. But in practicality, it functions like a practice area. Which it does a good job of; plenty of space to air it out, large trees for shade, high quality baskets.

If you live in Randolph, this will scratch the disc golf itch. If you're playing the nearby Fancy Creek State Park (and/or playing University Park), then you should definitely stop here and take the 15 minutes it takes to play this course so that you can check it off the list and up your course count. Otherwise, this course serves no purpose for you.

Only 5??? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 6, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is a nice little 5 hole course that is very clean and offers both long and short holes. It has just enough trees sprinkled throughout the course to keep things interesting. There is also a slight water threat behind #5's basket to keep you honest. This course plays super quick and you will most likely have the course to yourself. This course also has a tiny bit of elevation change, so its not pancake flat.
Hole 1- short tunnel shot
Hole 2-one of the longest holes on the course and there are roads on both sides to add an OB challenge
Hole 3-RHBH hyzer route over the road seems to be the easiest line
Hole 4-left side of the hole is more open than the right, basket on a slight incline by the road
Hole 5-plays downhill, slight dog leg to the right and two trees upon approach and a pond behind the basket.

Cons:

There are no tee pads or signage of any kind here. The holes are marked by wooden stakes in the ground with the hole number written on them. The roads on both sides of hole 2 and on the right hand side of number 3 are an issue. I would hate to see a unsuspecting car get plunked by a disc so be warned.

Other Thoughts:

This isn't a bad little course. The shots are challenging enough and there are some birdies to be had for sure. They used all the available space to its best advantage. I would like to see some signage at the very least here and some tee pads would be nice as well. This isn't a must play/destination course but if you were passing by its a nice option.
