Pros:
1st addition of a disc golf course on a ball golf course in the area. Positive step for southern Indiana disc golf.
Good use of elevation. Throwing to blind baskets, uphill/downhill shots, over valleys. The use of ball greens, bunkers, and ponds as hazards/OB was nice. Several well designed holes where I had to consider pushing it or laying up for a longer but safer par.
8 was my favorite. Tee from top of the hill over a pond and golf green. Need to make a decision on going for it or laying up to the left.
Clean course. (benefit from ball golf)
Circles back around so you start and finish near the clubhouse. Drinks and snacks offered in clubhouse.
Cons:
No tee signs or pads. Was very confused on course play. Flow of the course was not the best.
Tried playing from blue tees but couldn't find them. No overview map but used UDisc, which somewhat worked but we found ourselves saying "this seems about where it should be" a lot. Ended up playing whites since there were two spray painted white dots for tees. No blue dots that we could find.
4,5,6 tee box all within a close vicinity of each other, throw here then go back. Crossing back and forth over ball golf fairway.
7,8,9,10 felt very jammed together. Would have been easy to accidentally skip from 8 to 12 with the basket and teebox being very close, as we almost did. We were the only disc golfers playing these holes at the time but felt a high probability of having to step over each other if there had been others.
Needed to wait long times for golfers to hit Over and beside us. I felt very uneasy sitting near our tee boxes waiting or even putting/throwing at times. Shanked drives and upshots of balls wizzed nearby.
Hole 12, we threw drives then ball golfers showed up to their box which sat near the middle of our fairway, and they were kind and let us play through. Finished then waited at 13's tee box for them to play through as we sat in the middle of their fairway.
14,15,16 played in between the road and the fairway of a ball golf hole. Again had wait times and had to watch over shoulder sitting right beside their fairway.
Not sure if it was a busy day of golfing but we experienced consistent waiting times. Felt rushed at times when taking shots and that we were a nuisance to the ball golfers. Took around 4 hours to play.
Other Thoughts:
$3 to play. +$5 for cart (no splitting, 5 for both people)
New course with work that still needs to be done. Personal opinion is that a new layout would help.
Has potential but is currently lacking good flow and guidance. Felt convoluted with both ball and disc golf sharing multiple fairways at times, a lot of waiting on each other. Will play again in a years time to see if it improves.
UPDATE (2yrs later): There are now teepads but still no teesigns. Even with playing before I still felt lost a couple times, UDisc was a must to play.
Happened to be a local ball golf round of numerous people playing (no carts left for us). Needless to say, it was a bit messy at times again. We're in the way, they we're in the way. Most were friendly, asked questions and we played through. Others seem entitled and hit near greens/fairways while we were standing near landing zones. I guess that comes with the location, so I wasn't upset.
Don't get me wrong, this course is fun and I enjoy it but there are some drawbacks.
Overall, review still stands about the same. Still think a better layout would help but seems pretty permanent with teepads installed. With it being pay to play I probably won't travel to this course unless something draws me to it.
