Other Thoughts:
Westover Park is an interesting park course. The course has two distinctive features; the first is the generally low canopy, mostly due to the cedar trees, and the second is the fact that the course plays alongside a hill for many of its holes, which makes for some interesting uphill challenges and risky putts. Plus some of the mountain views are nice.
I had heard that control was key aspect to playing Westover, but I didn't grasp to what extent. Yes, a roller is handy in negotiating the course's many low, somewhat tight fairways, but can you throw a roller 300 feet uphill? The first three holes are uphill, and the fairways are representative of the whole course; low and hard on errors. But unlike a true woods course, the trees are not thick at all, as the whole course plays in a classic park environment. So nothing super tight or unreasonable, and no risk of losing a disc because there is no undergrowth, just short grass. Westover is not particularly long, but some of the holes do stretch out beyond strict pitch and putt, and while trees figure on most holes, some holes are more open than others. And the course is not entirely straighforward - the ability to both control your shots and get them to hook or fade is required at times. As the course moves downhill and off the incline on the back nine, it opens up and lengthens a bit. Design-wise, Westover is excellent in that it gets the most out of the land available - 21 solid holes playing throughout a really nice disc golf landscape with even the occasional mountain view.
The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is a truly beautiful place, and Harrisonburg is the classic college and market town amidst the many oft-visited national parks and forests of the Valley. With Sherando Park in the northern part of the Valley, Westover in the central Valley, and Montgomery Hall in Staunton, disc golfers now have ample reason to veer from the beaten tourist paths and throw a round on some classic Virginia courses. None of these three courses will disappoint.
