As everyone has noted, the course is meant to be an introduction to the sport and a practice course for more advanced players.

With most real-deal courses, the warm-up offering is just a practice basket for putting. If you will ultimately play Mill Brook (on the same property), you can warm up drive, approach, and putt on this little course. Then drive around the corner to Mill Brook.

Also if you are driving down or up the 95 and need a break from the traffic, Churchville 6 makes a more intriguing rest stop than Maryland House or Chesapeake House. For a disc golfer anyway (smile).

I was actually looking for Mill Brook to play later and found Churchville. Both are not far off the 95, pretty easy to get to.

Starting out with unobstructed nos. 1 and 2 (tee of latter to the left of the 1 basket, near the creek), adding tree holes 3-5, then back in the open with 6 mimics a full-scale course that plays in and out of woods.

You can play each hole 3 times and make it an 18-hole round while walking it once. You can try a variety of discs to learn which is the best to drive on each tee.

The little creek crossover is swampy and slick.

The tee boxes (uneven gravel) are too small and in poor condition. Maybe really little kids would find them useful. Rest of us, no. Stand to the sides of them.

For what it's intended to be, I think it does that well. To grade it compared to full-scale courses, it'll always come up short (pun intended).

Easily accessed. Good for practice, Ace runs, kids and beginners. A good spot to load your bag with mids and putters and let them fly

This is not a full course. It is only 6 holes. It doesn't have any long holes. It is missing challenging elements from a professional course.

It has to be stated up front: this is only a six hole course, thus the rating is factored against other six hole courses.
- Baskets are all in good shape and the course is fairly well maintained.
- Decent elevation change and good mix of wooded vs open shots
- Course has tee boxes and markers for each hole
- There is shot shaping on a few of the holes

- Tee boxes are somewhat small and worn out gravel. It's fine for a standstill, but when I practiced here regularly, would typically throw from behind or the side
- Confusing walk from 1 to 2 and through the woods to 4 (two is down the hill and left from 1's basket)
- The walk from 3 to 4 (and back again from 5-6) is almost always messy.
- Again, six holes. Not necessarily rating it down because of it, but it's hard to go over 2.5 or 3 for a six hole course

Great for new players to have a space to improve where they don't get discouraged or feel looked down upon.

I used to live close by and would come to work on putter tosses and putting. The baskets really are in good shape.

The designers did do a good job of crafting fun 150'-220' foot holes. There's a nice tunnel shot and a few places with decent bunkers from the woods, plus elevation on 1 and 6.

I guess you could get to a 3 star course if the tee pads were concrete, but frankly that doesn't make any sense for the course. They did what I'd hope for out of a six hole beginner course.

Also, this is in a different parking lot from the new (as of this review) course next door. Still, can make for a nice warm up and helps for us course baggers.

I will always stick up for these type of small, short courses designed for the beginners/students. I firmly believe they have a niche in our sport and will always rate them generously, provided they're designed and built well.
This course built behind the Chruchville Recreation Center, is just that, just six holes because of space constraints, built for beginners and or students.
It has simple wood signs which gives you the hole # and the distance. Nothing more is needed here. The tee boxes could be slippery when wet. The first two holes are flat and open. The # 3 has a tree in the middle of the fairway. # 4 is a 141' tunnel shot while # 5 is a downhill tunnel . Then # 6 finished with a little short 174' uphill.

The baskets have the numbers on them. Why do these simple, little six hole wide open courses always have the numbers on the baskets? And when you play some impossible to navigate, ridiculously complicated 18 hole course in the woods, there's not a number to be found?

This is not the course for the advanced or even the average intermediate player. It's not designed with them in mind. If you're looking for more of a challenge, go play Scarboro Hills..

Nice design and terrain for the family/beginner player. Fun course to come and try to rack up another ACE. Perfect little course for the "Course Bagger" such as myself.

Another course which has hit it's target audience like that 400' shot thrown through a narrow gap in the trees which slams and sticks into the basket for that unbelievable "ACE."
