Pros:
Easy to find, close to the business district area of Huntingdon, a nice little town. Shops, gas, some places to eat, etc. close by. The college campus is very pretty, as are many of the old buildings in the area. Nice mountain view from tees #2 and #8.
Navigation is a breeze with the simple, yet effective tee signs. The signs have the hole number, distance, par, and direction to the basket on them. The baskets are new DGA Mach 2's, with number plates and nice arrows on them pointing to the next tee. Hole #9 finishes very close to the hole #1 tee.
The holes themselves are well thought out and and make great use of the limited ground available. Elevation comes into play, at least a little, on every hole. The elevation changes greatly increase, and decrease, the effective length of some of the holes.
The course has a good mix of open and wooded holes. The open holes all have at least a tree (or three) to avoid to get close to the basket, and to make putting interesting if you find yourself behind one. I also like how a couple holes play from the open, into a wooded area and how a couple play from the woods, into the open.
Cons:
The tees are a weak point. Rubber pads are laid on the ground for some of the tees. They're pretty small and generally aren't leveled very well. The other tees are natural. They aren't worn much, yet, but with consistent play this could potentially become an issue. (The course is very new, so maybe the tees will be improved in the future.)
The length might be kind of short for bigger arms. I actually have the distance to reach every pin from the tee (#4 just barely) and, for perspective, I max out around 360' or so on level ground.
If you must have water, there's none to speak of, with just a couple low lying areas that appear to hold some water.
I feel that a couple of the wooded holes could have some branches and underbrush cleared out just a bit. The lines aren't unfair as is, but with just 5 rounds played on the course I had about 3-4 "iron leaf" experiences. Plus, there's some dense, bushy, vegetation on the wooded holes that I could see eating a disc if you're not careful to watch the flight, and kicks, of your throws.
Other Thoughts:
The course slightly favors RHBH lines with three distinct left turners. There's only one hole that finishes to the right and one dead straight hole. The other four holes allow you to pick your line, primarily because they're open to start.
I enjoyed throwing tee shots on multiple lines on several holes. On #2, for example, the basket kind of sits in the middle of a "triangle" of trees. There's the obvious BDH line to clear all of the trees. There's the up the gut line. And I also hyzer flipped a shot to come in from left to right. With several holes like this, the course gives you the opportunity to work on different shots from the tee.
The course should play well for beginners since neither the length nor the difficulty are overwhelming. However, the course should play well for experienced players, too, as birdie and ace run chances abound if you hit your lines. And the wooded holes will require accuracy to get your birdies.
Highlights:
#3 starts in the woods, on a down-slope, with a small (horizontal and vertical) gap to hit. Once you clear the gap it makes a hard left to the basket on an up-slope. This is one of the holes that has some small branches in the middle of the fairway, making the fairway on a potentially good hole feel a little more random. This hole also has some thick brush where your disc can land if you don't clear the treeline with your tee shot.
#5 is similar to #3 in that the tee starts on a down-slope and the basket ends on an up-slope. However, it's backwards in that it starts out open, and then makes a hard left through a 20' or so wide gap, about 60' up to the basket. It seems like it should be an easy line to hit, but it wasn't easy for me. I only hit the opening totally cleanly 1 out of 5 times I played the hole.
#7 is a very short hole at 128', just a little uphill. But there's a very tight gap to hit about 25' short of the basket. You have about 6' right of a tree in the center and less than that to the left. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) the tree right in the center of that tight gap is dead, and will probably be down in a year or two. This will make the hole a lot easier, with a 10'ish opening seeming huge compared to what it is now.
#8 is the longest hole on the course, at 392', but plays more like 292' because of the drop in elevation. The fairway is basically open on the left, with just a couple trees to get in your head. Then the basket is tucked about 25' into the woods on the right side of the fairway. This is just a solid hole. (I blew a 30'ish putt for 2 after a solid Stingray tee shot my last time around.)
Finally, #9 is a short, 176', hole. It's slightly uphill with the basket sitting in the center of four trees. There's a direct line to the basket, but the limbs on the trees hang low, so you have to throw low, or over the top, to get to the basket. I only mention this hole because I hit the pole once and just missed an ace on it.
At the end of the day, this isn't a destination course. But it is a very solid 9 hole course. If you find yourself at Canoe Creek S.P., or anywhere else about 30 minutes or so away, I don't think that you should be disappointed making the trip to Juniata, as long as you don't expect greatness. I actually drove a lot further than that and am definitely glad that I did.
