Pros:
The Pyramids course is a great course on a great piece of property off of Marshall Street in the secluded forests of Massachusetts. Lots of mature trees, shallow creeks, and disc golf baskets to be seen here.
Pulling into the parking lot, you drive down a secluded driveway, and then towards a house that holds one of the best disc golf shops on Earth, with so many amazing discs, this of course being the Marshall Street store. A great place to buy plastic to replace the ones you lost at Maple Hill, or to stock your back up collection.
However, this review is about the course, not the pro shop, which is a 5/5. However, the course does not disappoint.
Every hole has two baskets and a single tee, making a Gold and Silver layout, although there was a change in baskets and they are now White and Blue DD Veterans, so it is more of a White/Blue layout. These baskets catch really well, and are visible through the dense forest.
The holes are well designed, with a lot of wooded shots, but a few open, with the wooded holes having a great variety of left and right turning/fading shots, as well as the few tunnels. There was also a great variety of uphill and downhill elevation.
The tee signs were amazingly detailed, there were benches on mosty every hole, brooms to brush off the tees... and more. So many great amenities that aren't necessarily needed, but always a nice touch.
Cons:
The Pyramids course is not as flashy as Maple Hill, or any championship course for that matter, but it is a solid course for sure. There were no water shots, no downhill bomber shots, just a lot of fun golf shots.
In the tight woods, there was a stretch of holes that got a little boring. Playing up and down the same hill. They were fun shots, but there could've been more here.
Sometimes, the two baskets were not different enough in my opinion to constitute the need for two pins. On these holes, one or the other would have actually be the better option, "less is more."
Rubber tees are not my favorite. These rubber were just fine, but concrete is better in my opinion. The broom on every tee helped though.
Some holes played close together, and fairways of other holes could sometimes come into play when they should not. Not much to do here, as the property is not humongous.
Other Thoughts:
This is a relaxing, fun and solid course. A lot of fun holes, a great atmosphere, and a great area. If you had to choose between Pyramids and Maple Hill, the choice is Maple Hill every time, but this is a course to play if you have the time.
