Pros:
The Fun Farm Course is a 50/50 mix between open and technical holes. This is a pretty new course, so everything is in great shape. The course uses the DISCcatcher baskets, and all baskets are practically brand new. The concrete tee pads are level and sized appropriately for the length of the hole, shorter holes have smaller pads, and longer holes have more of a standard size tee pad.
There are multiple tee pads on many of the holes, and tee signs on all holes with hole layout, mandos, and OB clearly marked. The tee signs accurately define the location of the next tee which makes the course easy to navigate (maps are also available at the office if you want them).
The course does not loop back to the office until the last hole, it is pretty much a continuous loop from start to finish as opposed to a pair of loops, each returning to the starting point. There are no crossing fairways, but there are a couple of holes where tee to tee interference or basket/tee interference is possible. The tees for 3 & 4 are relatively close, but there is a safety net installed behind the 4th tee to help reduce the possibility of interference.
The first 10 holes are mostly wide open, and at any time, there are multiple baskets in view, but the
tee signs help keep the navigation pretty straight forward. The fairways on the technical holes (11-18) are clearly defined and quite challenging. I don't recall any benches or trash receptacles on the course. There are several nice elevation changes throughout the entire course, not very many flat holes. You will see uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies with extreme elevations on 13, 14, and 20/21.
The extreme elevations on 13 & 14 will be all but impossible to walk through in bad weather, and the scorecards provided at the office actually list a warning to skip these holes when weather does not permit safe passage. I did get to play these two holes, and they are very challenging. On 13, you are throwing from the top of a steep hill down across a creek to a basket tucked back into a small clearing in the woods. On 14, you throw back up the hill you just came down. No14 is just over 200ft, but will play much longer considering the extreme uphill elevation. Once you reach hole 20, you can play to the short basket, then play 21 to complete the course, or you can throw to the long basket from the tee at 20 and skip 21 (long basket on 20 is the same basket for 21).
For the experienced player who can throw 400+FT, there will be a lot of drive and putt holes, especially on the open holes, with the average hole length only 310FT/hole. The course does offer a variety of shots (hyzers, anhyzers, rollers, flex shots, etc...) over a wide variety of elevations. There is a small parking lot that is shared with guest participating in various other activities offered by this facility. I would imagine in the summer when the trees are in full bloom that there would be a lot of visually appealing holes. The back drop on the 21st basket is great with trees and a small creek wrapping around the green, very nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Cons:
I think the addition of some trees on the wide open holes would add a lot of visual appeal and increased challenge to the course. Holes 13 & 14 are a little difficult to navigate, it was wet when I was there, and I definitely did some slipping and sliding on the way down 13 and up 14. It is probably much better in the summer, but with all the leaves on the ground right now, it was a little tricky to get through these two holes. Maybe their is something that could be put into place to make this section a little easier to get through?, especially in wet conditions. Some benches and trash receptacles scattered around the course in select locations are always a positive addition.
Other Thoughts:
All in all a nice course, and the $5 entry fee is a fair price.
