Hit the first gap, Save Par 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 11, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Comparitive to other local courses it is a good place to practice because there is no "bush" or undergrowth to worry about searching for errant shots. Nine holes are around 360ft in length giving players the opportunity to throw drivers and practice those 75%plus shots to shape low line straight or hyzer flip lines.

-Course is fairly easy to navigate with Udisc app course maps.

- Course has Discatchers on the front and Veterans on the back.

-minimal trash





Cons:

- Property lacks elevation change / distinctiveness. Not a destination course. There are many tweener holes for the white or blue level player (too long for a 2, easy 3 expected)

- A few of the holes have shared fairways and / or putt near one another

-Course lacks amenities like restrooms, trash cans, benches etc.

-Mostly dirt tees (some rubber mats)

-the location of the course doesn't lend itself to developing the course further.

Other Thoughts:

Course is located in a festival grounds area, the front 9 is the better half playing through large oaks and the back plays primarily between manmade lightpoles and festival equipment. Course is worth playing if nothing else is going on and you have already played Anderson Pond and Postl Point

More Average Than Average 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 20, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Decent amount of trees which make good obstacles and provide some shade. Two tees for the 9 baskets out there. Baskets catch well.

Cons:

Flat, all par 3s, dirt/grass tee pads. No course map, although it is easy to navigate. No benches.

Other Thoughts:

This is about as average a course as I can possibly imagine. It's not bad at all, but none of the holes really stand out or capture the imagination. I'm really struggling to come up with the words to describe this course! Just not much that stands out. It's fun enough, but I sure wouldn't go out of my way to play here.

Bogged Down By Navigational Issues 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 13, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

- free to play, free to park
- cart friendly course
- big arm friendly course, but has some technical holes mixed in
- high quality baskets
- front 9 easy to follow
- low traffic course
- most holes have enough tall tress to shelter players from the sun
- few ace runs
- portable toilets in general area
- bright colored baskets are easy to spot from a distance.

Cons:

- some basket placements were a too close to the next hole tee off
- fast greens
- not much fairway shaping
- not much punishment for errant throws
- a couple holes run the chance of losing drives over a fence
- not really any designated parking spots, parking shared with other park activities
- not exclusively a disc golf area, fair grounds supersede course activities
- flat course
- sand tee pads
- tee signs on the "back 9" are very small, don't list distances, and are difficult to find.
- poor signage between holes made navigation difficult on hole 10-18
- I could not find 13 or 18
- no alternate pins

Other Thoughts:

Boggey B. is a fairly wide open, flat, park style course with no underbrush. Fairways feature scattered trees that help influence particular lines a player should take without being overly punitive. Distance is used to create most of the difficulty and scoring separation throughout the course. Smaller arms will take a leisurely par on most holes, average to advanced players will likely power up for a chance to birdie. Due to the general openness of the course location, wind may play a major factor in disc selection. I found myself choosing between throwing something OS to fight through surprise gusts and play the skip, or attempting straighter lines and hope the breeze didn't blow my throw off a chosen line.

The elephant in the room is that Boggey B. is not an 18 hole course as much as it's a 9 hole course with dual tees. My guess is that the designer wants this to be listed as an 18 course to attract more foot traffic. Calling this an 18 hole course is like pretending my you're not bald because you have a combover.

Another annoying thing about holes 10-18 was that they were hard to find. Each natural tee is marked by a single cell phone sized placard low to the ground. Tee 10, throws to basket 10. Most back 9 tees are reasonably close to their front 9 counterparts, yet I never did find the tee sign for 13 or 18. Searching around for tees 10-18 can be tedious, especially in the heat. Bring lots of water, sunscreen, and try to stay in the shade.

Boggey B. and Post'l Point are basically the same courses; however, Boggey B fails to get the little details right. The "back 9" did offer different looks at the basket, which I appreciated, but more work on the course is needed. Improved tee quality, tee sign quality, and improved navigational aids would bump my rating up higher.

UPDATE: the first 9 holes now have tee signs on a posts, the back 9 have a full set ground markers. This makes navigation much easier.

Not bad, but simple 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 13, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun little course next to a nice dog park. No huge hazards or terribly confusing holes. Seems pretty quiet aside from the cars. Not much walking needed

Cons:

Next to the highway
Course is really simple. Most of the hazards are poles in the ground. Wish it had more pins or something to run an easy 18 with.
