Pros:
Nice long cement tee pads on most holes. The tee pads on the side of the hill are rubber but in excellent shape
Two tee pads on most holes with reasonable pars assigned to both pads. The really short par 3s have one pad.
Surprisingly tough for being a generally open course
Long and mostly wide course, yet it's compactly laid out, like a ball golf course. You're never far from your car, or the port-a-potty
Several unique and fun holes.
You probably won't lose a disc unless you are way off target. There isn't any rough to speak of, and the river can be in play but the baskets aren't right on the edge.
It's kind of long for a beginner, but a beginner can have fun here. I'd add a second basket on pretty much every hole for the beginners. Put one in the foundation on #5 for example.
Cons:
Flooding is a problem near the river.
There are some unexciting holes in empty fields. Not many though, and they can act like a little mental break. If every hole beat you up, you'd eventually get sick of it.
Mostly one basket per hole. I'd add a second on almost every hole.
I'm not a big fan of holes with water directly behind the basket. There are 4 of those here, although you'd have to go 40 feet long to reach the water.
Other Thoughts:
This is a very golf-course-like disc golf course. It's not on a ball golf course, but it feels like an upscale public course, set on rolling hills, with nice wide corridors that go back and forth across the field. The course feels like it was designed by people who play ball golf, as there are not a lot of shots that are blockaded by rows of trees. There is quite a bit of OB, some holes are roped off to create corridors, others have the river alongside or behind, and there is also a cornfield that comes into play on the first hole and the last 2 holes. It's challenging, but you can definitely make it around without a bunch of OB, and still par the holes.
#1 is a nice downhill throw to a blind landing, it's fun to see where you ended up. #2 and #3 play down a hillside and then back up, with lots of trees. #5 is a very fun hole, uphill and over an old stone house foundation. Don't get caught in the basement! 6 and 7 are mostly open doglegs with a row of trees in the middle. 8 is a pleasant downhill par 3, with another row of trees to deal with. You have the same row again on 9. 10 is a blind left to right shot on a wooded hillside. Much is said about the bizarre 11th hole, but I think it's a lot of fun. It's just a short shot up a little hill, but then the basket is off a ledge and down about 20 feet, next to a creek. You possibly could go into the creek if you get too aggressive, but the play here is definitely to crash your disc into the huge tree at the top of the cliff and let the disc fall to the bottom. You'll be right next to the basket. Is that a little too random? Antithetical to the normal play of avoiding trees? Maybe, but unlike the typical plinko poke and pray hole, if you hit the right tree, in the right spot, you're parked.
The course kind of slacks off a bit from here. 12 is a pretty hole along the river with a beautiful wooden porch to throw from, and another row of trees to go through, but the tee is unfortunately so high that it's difficult to get to the row of trees, let alone to the basket 50 feet beyond. 13 is a nothing hole in a field. There is some water behind and to the right, but it's not very close. 14 and 16 are uneventful and also unplayable if it is wet, as the baskets will be in 2-3 inch deep water. Unfortunately water gets trapped in a field next to the river and has nowhere to go. If you go when it's wet, you'll be skipping these two holes. 17 and 18 are a little more exciting, as you make your way up the edge of a cornfield and up a hill to the parking lot.
Overall this is a fun course. There are only a few shots where you'll have major tree trouble, so you aren't blasting discs into trees all day. Also, it's tough to make a bunch of birdies, but relatively easy to make a bunch of pars. It's at just that right distance and Pars where you can get 18 pars if you're relatively careful and can throw it 225 feet with a little accuracy, but it's really tough to make 10 birdies. The only par I would change is #6 from the silver tee. That should be a par 5. It's a pretty long uphill climb and most people playing the silvers need 3 of their best shots to get anywhere near the basket in 3.
I would suggest moving the baskets for 14 and 16 away from the water and closer to the tree line. I played in a tournament there a couple of weeks ago and they did put temporary baskets out, about 50 feet farther away from the water. They worked fine and that would keep the entire course playable even if it's wet.
At a recent tournament there, Even par from the silver tees was a 922 rating, so while it is beginner friendly, it's also a challenge. It's not as grand or magnificent as its neighbor down the road, Muddy Run, but it's a worthy cousin.
