Knowing that my half disc rating is probably too generous.
- LACK OF INVESTMENT - I knew this place was going to be bad coming in. Although not train wreck level, it's close. The investment into the course feels like a big flip'n zero. 4 years prior, the report was it was down to 8 baskets... well slap me silly and call me Shirley cause that important factor is now down to a pitiful 5! A few may argue that this is not even a course anymore. Well I'd disagree. Mainly due to the numbering of the baskets... and the fact that there are 5 baskets here... and that the fact that I don't want to feel guilty calling this a bagged course
and I don't by the way, I played all 5 of them here.
- UNDEFINED CHALLENGE - To no surprise, this former 9 basket now 5 basket course doesn't have marked tees. Thus rating the challenge for this course is limited. For my review, I've rated the challenge by going basket to basket starting by missing basket (3). The only sure way to find it is to look at a satellite photo which shows it 140 feet west of home plate of the small baseball field. Anyways, Advanced players would be unsatisfied throwing anything other than all birds. There are obviously numerous ways to throw a round here, but every course could say the same thing. Safari possibilities don't affect how I rate a course's challenge factor.
- NO AMENITIES AND EXTRAS - Baskets, yes, but no other disc golf related bonus amenities. Core basics like tee signs and tee pads are missing. The baskets are numbered however, this is how I'm positive that this was once a nine. The baskets are not a brand that I am familiar with. I think they may be school shop made.
- HOLE VARIETY - They really don't get much more vanilla than this one. All five remaining shots have zero trees in play. The only play hazard is the marshy thicket along the north boundary of the layout and it won't even register as a concern to skilled players.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Not an eyesore, but not a beautiful parcel of land. I slotted it into my bottom 15 out of 513 courses played as of this review. There is nothing naturally beautiful along this layout. Open fields with houses and school buildings constantly in view. The tall grass preserve areas along the north boundary are what keeps this place outside of my bottom 10. To end on a positive note, it was mowed and I saw no trash.
- WIND - Due to the lack of trees, wind will likely be an issue here
