Pros:
+ Despite my overall negative experience, I have to give it up for the iconic hole #17: a fence, a mando created by two tall old trees, and a hanging basket in a barn. So much fun!
+ An 18 hole course made of two 9 hole loops, with each beginning and ending at the winery. You could play either loop first
+ A lot of the course uses a steep incline in addition to the long valley along the base of the ravine. It does a pretty good job of spreading out the "up and down and back up again" holes that can seem so repetitive (and tiring)
Cons:
- This is a course that's been laid out in deep woods with a ravine running through the middle. The landscape is rocky and there is absolutely nowhere to get good footing - due to rocks, weeds, fallen leaves, etc. Expect to have to throw most shots standstill
- The course doesn't appear to have received much care since it was installed almost 15 years ago. The signs are breaking down, the wooden tee platforms are slick due to the dampness of the woods, the baskets are old, the lines have become overgrown. It's like the course was built and then left there to fend for itself - and Nature is gradually reclaiming it
Other Thoughts:
~ This place was probably the greatest thing when it was created in 2006 (who could argue with a combination winery/disc golf course???) but in the almost fifteen years since, winemakers and disc golf designers have upped their games. I had to visit (because it's a combination winery/disc golf course with a hanging basket in a barn!!!) and you might, too. Just go in with lowered expectations, a high tolerance for weird hippie branding that's right in your face in the winery, and really supportive hiking shoes for the course
