Pros:
Winton Woods is as classic as it gets. Almost 40 years old, this course has seen plenty of rounds, plenty of aces, and plenty of fun!
Playing solo, I got through this course in a half hour, and I was taking my time. The baskets are almost right next to the next tee, and all the holes play as a putter or midrange shot with the exception of two holes.
The fairways were all well maintained, and the chances of losing a disc on this course are slim to none, as you are barely ever throwing to a blind basket. This makes it really easy to get through as a solo player, as well as any novice player looking to try the game out for the first time.
There is a good variety of short shots, with lefty and righty hyzers needed, as well as the ever so popular straight shot. I threw a lot more discs from my bag than I originally expected.
Cons:
Winton Woods is one of the most fun courses you can play, because every hole is ace-able. But that doesn't make it a great course.
The holes don't have real tee signs, but they aren't really needed. The asphalt tees are less than stellar, and the baskets aren't in the best shape. The asphalt ring around the base of the baskets ate up my putters when I missed a putt/parked a drive. (Mostly missed putts)
Holes play close together, and this course gets crowded with casual players. Safety can be an issue, and if there are a lot of players on the course, you will be waiting on every tee.
A good variety of short shots are still short shots. While I threw more discs than I thought I would, that was about 5 opposed to 3. Lots of straight shots that need to hit a semi-small gap through the trees.
Other Thoughts:
Winton Woods is a lot of fun, but falls short of the epic courses that have sprung up in the past 20 years. That doesn't make it not worth a play, just not one to make the best courses in the world list.
According to Udisc, this course is a Par 71. I'm pretty proud of my -28 score of 43. While I know this is more along the lines of a soft -11, I felt like a real pro seeing all the blue on my scorecard. Thanks, UDisc!
