Pros:
Where to begin? The two-panel course sign & kiosk (with course map, notices, current basket position indicator, and even a map showing other area courses) has a mailbox with map/scorecards & pencils, and there's another box for donations (drop something nice in there: they've done a great job here!). There are four picnic tables and even a stand to clean the mud off your shoes (first time I've seen that). Then you glance to your right for the practice basket en route to the two level concrete tee pads per hole, with two basket positions for each. So DISC @ Fall Creek is designed for multiple skill levels. Red tees to 'A' basket positions are mostly from 150 to 200 feet in length, so they're appropriate for beginners, while Blue tees to 'B' positions range from 246 to 435 feet in length, and will challenge the Intermediate player to approach par. And the other two combinations look just as good. I play right around 900 rated, and enjoyed throwing a set from the long tees to 'B's, then from the short tees to 'B's, and felt there was variety, fun, and challenge from both.
The course starts counterclockwise along the woodline of a field just southwest of the church, with the beautiful Fall Creek posing a hazard on holes 4 & 5 (which begins your wooded lane play) , then you double back for 6. Long 7 reminded me scenically of Idlewild #16. If you've played there, you know that's a compliment! The back nine plays in the woods southeast of the church, and is reminiscent of the newer Twin Creeks Black course in Georgetown, Ohio: mostly level, woodsy but fair, with the stream just to your south. These wooded holes allow for more variety than the field edge holes, which lean a little heavily on left to right line shaping. And there was almost always an obvious intended flight path or two in those woods, especially from the shorter tees. The longer tees intentionally left a few more 'challenges' to overcome.
Overall, there has obviously been a great amount of time, money and pride invested in this course, which absolutely has the amenities to be enjoyed by everyone from newer players right up to a very good quality Amateur level tournament. There's abundant parking, a welcoming atmosphere, and very nice design.
Cons:
Situated in a flatter area just above a major creek, there wasn't much opportunity to incorporate elevation in the design, and of course, they will always be dealing with muddiness and insects when it's damp and warm enough. Not sure if there are steps that could be taken to help with those except to schedule bigger events in drier or cooler seasons.
I only noted one spot where the design might cause any hazard, and that might be on the long turnover (rhbh) tee shot on Blue #8 to "B'. The short #18 tee is just blind and in line of a misfire. There were only a couple of places where I thought a 'next tee' sign is needed: after holes 8 (keep following the woods around to the right) & 11 (turn right even though you see the tee for 15 off to your left). Otherwise, almost every hole leaves you looking right at the excellent signage for the next.
Not an issue at all for me, but there really isn't a long bomber hole on the course, so if you really only enjoy courses with 'drive for show' holes, you might be 'disappointed' until you crank the uphill, blind, finishing #18 to the gap before the green.
Other Thoughts:
This is a church facility, and they are clearly wanting to be friendly and inclusive with the disc golfing community. Each of the incredibly helpful, detailed and informative signposts includes some scripture, along with hole sponsorships, and sometimes a little more. I'm pretty sure I even spotted the Loch Ness monster on one sign. See if you can find it!
