Woodsy Bogler is not only a fun and silly title that my friends and I repeatedly got wrong throughout our day trip, but also a short, highly technical 18-hole disc golf on a rugged patch of rural land. This course is a true hike through rural Missouri terrain, and at least one thunder buddy is recommended for both spotting as well as being there if you wreck yourself while traversing the course.
Location of Woodsy Bogly is about an hour south of St. Louis near Cadet, MO. Routes E and 47 are the highways that will get you to the local roads, and from there you'll find yourself on Bo Hollow, which will be gravel. The course kiosk will be on the left side of the road. This course is a part of a bigger complex, and the name "Robinson Bluff Disc Golf Park" makes me wonder if future expansion is in the plans. There's also mountain biking and climbing on site, as well as a port-o-john down the road by the main parking, which we did not personally see on our trip here. This course is truly in the middle of nowhere, so make gas and food stops ahead of time.
Course Equipment is basic, but honestly fit the vibe of the course. The tee signs are on repurposed material, and despite being hand-drawn, are very informative with pars, distances, and hole layouts. The tee pads are natural, with white posts signifying where to throw from. The baskets are RAD (not a compliment, just the name), and while having a practice basket vibe, they are secured by probably the only concrete you'll ever see on this course.
Course Design at Boogie Woogie is short, wooded, and treacherous. The course mainly requires short, touchy shots, as going off the fairway can easily land you down a ridge, in a pond, or both. Hole 2's tee sign recommends a spotter, and honestly, you could use one on many more holes during your round here.
Elevation is one of the biggest features of Wookie Booger. A lot of the fairways are surrounded by or traverse steep ridges, and many tee shots are either downhill or uphill to the green. Very few of the holes here are genuinely flat. Holes 6, 9, 10, and especially 15 play uphill, while 3, 4, 8, and 16 are downhill shots. Also, a high number of baskets are either on their own elevated mounds or have large drop-offs behind them, making for many tricky putts throughout a round here. The designer of this course clearly loves sketchy greens more than Quentin Tarantino loves feet.
Shot-Shapes are also full of variety at Whisky Burger. While there are not many opportunities (if any for some folks) to bust out a distance driver, you will find yourself throwing multiple angles. Holes 4, 5, 8 and 13 turn to the left, while 6, 11, and 14 turn to the right. Other shots, like hole 2, are straight but will require intentional shots to navigate a tight fairway. The wooded setting will keep you from truly airing one out, and accurate putter and mid shots will win the day every time here.
Distances are short, but elevation will really affect disc selection, as many holes feature significant elevation changes. Hole 15 might be the biggest example, as this 105-foot hole has you throwing up onto a plateau. That being said, none of the holes are very long, so midranges and fairway drivers will take care of the majority of your drives, if not putters.
Difficulty is geared towards more advanced players at Schmoodly Schmogler. The wooded, rugged environment means if you don't have accuracy behind your shots, you are going to have a very high score on this course. The holes here are unforgiving, so newer players should wait until they can hit lines consistently before coming to this course.
