Pros:
A slightly 'split personality' course used for the Amateur Championships at Bowling Green each spring, Basil Griffin starts out in park woods, over bowls and ravines, as well as water hazards, with a good variety of 'best lines' to the quality Innova DisCatcher baskets. You'll need good control of your Recreational to Intermediate distance drives to stay dry on 2,3,5, & 7 and away from the trees on 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9. Then you'll burst into the open for the back nine, which involves more distance and usually more wind.
It's nice to have this much variety in an 'approachable' course, and just a mile and a half off the highway for easy access. While they are showing some wear, each hole has a decently-sized, level, concrete tee pad. There are older tee pads out there, as well, including a long pad on hole 6 which would make a neat, water carry shot if the branches in front were trimmed just a little.
Memorable holes begin with the hill top tee on 2, where you drive out between a few trees, over a fence, creek, and bridge, to a wide landing zone on the left, but with the basket tucked to the right at the far end of the clearing, and less than eight feet from the rocky side of the creek bordering the entire right side of the hole. A true gut check shot, but not unique in that aspect: holes 5 and 7 are also beautiful, downhill risk-reward holes.
The course has a map at hole 1, and very good signage, including next tee arrows, so first timers who print the map and check the signs can't get lost. The park is really nice, with its lake and many other amenities for the rest of the family.
Cons:
Though there are brand new pads for holes 2 & 8, many of the remaining, older tee pads are starting to have a little trouble: the left side of the concrete on 15 is crumbling away, and the front 2-3' of the 17th tee has settled so it is practically a step (so be careful there). Hole 1 holds water in a puddle at the front. The 'remnant' tee pads that look like they're out there (left over from a previous redesign?) are interesting, and don't have tee signs, but might tempt safari golfers to try out creative lines. Usually that's a plus, but caution is needed to be absolutely sure no one could get hit from those unexpected lines.
The course does have a few places where the transitions from one hole to the next are 'unusual'. After 2, you need to go out the big fence gate if it's open, or trek to the top of the hill to get out past the driveway to 3. After 6, be polite while walking by if folks are clutch-putting on 3, then back up to the top fence line to #7, after which you'll go around the 'creek', right, through that fence gap and up the hill to 8.
Bomber arms who really want to show off their D's might not like the fact that Griffin has only two holes over 350'. But that's just fine with us mere mortals. The lake side holes have a playground at the top of the hill and might have folks who know nothing about disc golf, fishing and enjoying the lake on any decent day, so use caution and skip a hole if you need to for safety. Finally, the bowl at the bottom of holes 1 & 9 will usually be extremely muddy, so plan on that if it has rained recently.
Other Thoughts:
The first time I played here was in the 2013 BG Ams, the day after some ferocious rains, which created two new 'lakes', until the water subsided. The pond at holes 1 & 9 made the latter a re-routed shot around the driveway. The creek became another pond on holes 2 and 7.
