Pros:
Chuck Custer's five acre wonderland is a model for all of us who dream of one day having a course on our own property. Using about a dozen re-purposed baskets and a lifetime of garage sale memorabilia, he's laid out a very workable 18 holes of fun, and allows others to visit and share. With a gently sloping wooded lot, the course provides a real change of pace for folks in the central Ohio region who are often confronted with more flat and open play. The difficulty is geared towards Intermediates and above, because you'll need control to manage the wide variety of low, tight lines (even some rollers).
Though the course is obviously flexible, and ever-open for change, in its current incarnation, there are three holes under 200 feet and three just over 350. You start out with a memorable, short, downhill hook to the left, through the chains of a loveseat swing (!), around the shed where Chuck proudly displays his collection of disc-themed license plates, and of course a pine tree guardian, to the basket on the left. But rather than describing every hole, let's hit the highlights: I liked the six downslope holes, but never felt like you had to pay them back with any monstrous uphill work. The adjustable height basket on 7 (13) was a neat feature. The tight and often low-ceilinged lane and gap shots never felt contrived or overly punishing. It's a course where your wise use of mids and putters pays off!
The character of the course is hard to describe. It was great that Chuck and Mickey (the friendly family dog) were available to help guide if we wanted, but not pushy or intrusive on our visit. The decor (did I just use that term for a disc golf course?) was cool: there are usually numbered billiard balls hanging off a tree branch to mark tee positions (even when many tees were mat material). There's a collection of fallen soldiers, er, old discs, decorating the fence line by the 14th tee. And that basket is raised and decorated in a way I've never seen on any of the 159 courses I've played. That central part of the woods is worth a visit all by itself.
A lot of the baskets have little knick-knacks in or on them, as do the trees, benches, and other additions. I certainly couldn't gather it all in on one brief visit, but I can tell you that The Twilight Zone is an experience well worth having!
Other Thoughts:
I would love to have visited more than once before writing a review, but was overly eager to share my impression of this little gem of a course. I asked Chuck if it would be OK to add the pictures here on DGCR, and he agreed. We held back his nice, laminated course map because he'd really appreciate a call before you visit. I think he'd really like to offer a tour guide for anybody's first visit. Finally, the $5 per carload he asks to play is a pittance, and I refuse to list 'pay-to-play' fees as a 'con' for anybody's private, home course. Offer him more!
