Pros:
- Baskets - 18 Chainstar baskets that are very grippy. They are in great condition.
- Can create your own shot depending on your ability: Basket to basket, tree to basket, etc. See cons. (There are no established throw pads)
- Variety - Uphill, downhill, valley, wooded holes, open holes, a creek, and a pond come into play.
- Water Hazards - Holes 10 and 18 deal with a pond. A bad throw can end up there. There is a creek running along holes 5, 6, and 12. The creek is a few inches deep but you have to climb down a small drop off.
- When camp/church grounds are empty, disc golf course sees little traffic. If not, see Cons.
- A few benches to sit on to rest.
USE THE COURSE MAP!!!
Cons:
- No set throw pads - Not only are there no concrete pads, but there are no set throw pads in the grass. Dirt is only wore away on 2 of the throw areas according to the map. You can create your own course which can be a pro or con.
- No signs - No sign for disc golf course in general, no signs for individual holes. Without the map you will be wandering around for awhile and doing backtracking.
- Poorly Marked - In addition to lack of signage, not all of the baskets have numbers on them (some have worn off).
- No trash cans -
- Not much shade - Exceptions: Holes 3, 5, 6, 12, 14, 15.
- Course can be unplayable due to camp activities; 2 soccer fields, baseball field, relays, races, etc. I have came here once and was told that the course was closed for the day.

Other Thoughts:
This course is on the way to my friend's house so he showed me the layout for the course. I made a course map which will provide you with a nice flow and a mildly challenging layout to the course. If you do not use the map you will not enjoy this course. I have had positive feedback from disc golfers who have used the map on this course so I would suggest it. I took pictures of the course based on the map for reference.
The course has a great amount of variety and a few water hazards which makes this course unique.
A camp worker told me the course was playable weekdays after 6 as well as weekends (unless camp activities are taking place).
If this course had signs, established dirt or even concrete tees, I believe this course would be a 3.5 out of 5. If the course had all of the above and alternate tees, it would maybe be a 4 out of 5.
