- Has a couple of really interesting holes and decent variety
- Well maintained baskets and fairways
- Lots of potential
- It's a disc golf course in an area without a lot of disc golf courses

- Major playability issues due to proximity to buildings, parking lots, roads, and walking paths
- Goose droppings
- No tee signs or markings to designate tees (bring a map)
- Only 9 holes

Edinboro University is a mostly open, nine hole course featuring some long holes, water that comes into play on one or two holes, and a couple of interesting holes. The biggest issue, as others have mentioned, is the playability of some of the holes. Oh, and I should note that the course has undergone a minor redesign since the first time I played it, including a renumbering of the holes. So the previous review that references the hole numbers is now off by one for each hole.

Edinboro is a decent course with a couple of major shortcomings. First of all, it's only nine holes. I think there may be plans to expand, at least potentially, but at this point it hasn't happened. Second, at times a couple of the holes are covered with goose droppings from the nearby lake, which is obviously not ideal. Third, at this point there isn't really any signage or even clearly marked tees. You have to have the map and make your best estimate as to where the tees belong. Fourth, and most importantly, a few of the holes have major playability issues.

For example, Hole 6 plays from the front of the library down the lawn through (or over) two lines of trees to the basket, which is located out towards the road. It's a really cool hole, very scenic too, but you have a couple of buildings on each side and then a parking lot along the right side as you get closer to the basket. There are also a couple of walking paths that line and cross the fairway, and this is right in the middle of the campus.

Hole 7 plays between a road and a building, which has some big windows in the perfect spot so intercept a drive that sneaks a little too far left or hyzers out early.

Those are the worst examples, but many of the holes play along or near walking paths, and I cannot imagine playing the course when school is in session (I've only ever played it in the summers or on holiday breaks).

I really love the new Hole 2, though. It's a dogleg left around the corner of the lake with the basket tucked in between the lake and a parking lot. The tee shot is tight enough that to get out around the trees that guard the corner takes me two shots, so I can the safe route out around the corner and try to reach the green in three, or play my tee shot to the opening and play across the lake to get there in two. Depending on the wind, how I'm throwing that day, and where exactly my tee shot ends up, I may take either route.

Overall, it's a decent course. There are not a lot of courses in northwestern PA, so it's a welcome addition, despite its flaws. I think it's worth playing, but wouldn't recommend playing during the school year, unless you go early in the morning. It has potential, and could become a pretty nice course with a few adjustments to improve the safety concerns and an expansion to 18 holes.

9 baskets that catch Frisbees.
Marked tees and with the online map, is reasonable to find each hole. Otherwise navigation could be tricky.
For a nine hole course, there are some big drives out there.

Not much in the way of elevation changes or huge risk reward shots going on (other than maybe not hitting pedestrians or buildings).
I didn't really care for the layout. It starts fairly far from the parking lot and hole 9 technically ends right by hole 1... but hole 8 ends what seems like forever and a day away from hole 9.
Hole 6 felt like you had to cut around the building with giant glass windows way too much.
Hole 5 seemed like when it was between classes, you could easily hurt someone with a bad shot.
Hole 2 plays in the middle of a soccer field basically.

This seems like the kind of course that would be fun at night with glow (which I saw plenty of evidence to suggest that they do such things here).
I played at 6am and no one was out there, so I enjoyed it enough, but thought that the layout could be dangerous or unplayable at times.
I wouldn't go out of your way to play here, but if you are visiting someone at the university, give it a spin. Why not.

The course is long and offers a variety of shots. The targets are in good condition, the land is very well maintained, and there isn't much wooded areas to lose your disc. There are tee signs for all the holes except the 4th. Its a good place to play for people in the Erie area without having to travel to far.

There is a fair amount of danger when it comes hitting parked cars or people walking on the paths. There is only 1 tee for each hole and some are long par 3's which could be discouraging for new players.

The course is still new and I'm sure there will be improvements this year. The course is relatively easy to navigate but a few "next tee" signs would be helpful. There is quite a long walk between the target for hole 8 and the tee for hole 9. I look forward to playing here this summer and it would be a good course to play at night.
