Pros:
- Beautiful course
- Wooded, so it is challenging but provides plenty of shade
- Two tee pads per hole, creating two distinct layouts
- Red or Blue teepad - both offer their own challenges
- Lodge next to the course, this provides access to restrooms, and food and drinks.
- Concrete pads have been completed on all 27 holes
- Technical, requiring different shot selections
- Signage is very good throughout
- Benches provided on several holes
- Elevation changes
- Variety: Play 27 Blue, Play 27 Red, Play 1-9 Twice (once red then blue) to stay on the Lake side, play 10-27 if you want to reduce the elevation changes (access 10 by walking down the road away from the Lodge and it will be on the right)
- Active volunteer support, the park appreciates this and supports them.
Cons:
- The falling leaves in the fall... =)
- Elevation... I know that was also a positive but sometimes it is not. =)
- Baskets are all permanent but since there is a variety, people try to blame that on why they missed a putt. Referring to the white Predator baskets which make up 4 of the 27 baskets.
- Trees - having to deal with them after a storm has came through can be annoying. Downed limbs or even whole trees.
- Hueston woods needs to add Disc Golf course to their park signage to help visitors find the course easier.
- The abundance of dead timber on the sides of some fairways makes going off fairway very rough.
Other Thoughts:
This course has a lot of potential! It is very fun, but you will be challenged, sometimes it feels like the trees are out to get you but sometimes they show love back with a great redirection.
I feel this course is well worth the trip but plan accordingly as playing 27 holes can take 3+ hours but it also allows for playing 9 holes while camping or staying in the lodge for a weekend, so keep that in mind.
