Boylan Acres - Extreme is the big boy of the three here. Major elevation changes throughout the whole course. It does ease back a bit for the last few holes but they did their damage by that point. That said, I loved it. Driving up to this place you'll be thinking, How "Extreme" can it really be? Even pulling up to the pro shop you'll be doubting it. You will be wrong.

The course starts out innocent enough, except for the pond in front of the basket and the double mando trees before that. Well, maybe not hole 1 but from 2 to 4 you'll think it's all hype. Hole 5 starts to ramp up the action with a cross valley shot over a ravine with OB short and right and disaster lurking if you fade too far left. It's on from there. Just a superbly designed course that will test even the best players out there, especially from longs to longs, which is what we played today.

Great amenities all throughout the course. Bridges, log or concrete block steps, benches, next tee signs. You name it and it's out here. There's even little wood boxes with bottled water in them at various points around the course. All these things make the round more manageable and are much appreciated. This was in mid April too.

The concrete tees are unique. I'd never seen anything like these before. They have 12 slots cut into them in two rows of 6. Not entirely sure of the purpose of this but they were all dry and worked great. Plenty big enough and gripped great. Two tee pads per hole on nearly every hole. I believe there was only one that had a single pads.

Big colorful tee signs with all the information you could possibly need on them. Great hole map, hole #, par, distances, next tee arrows and any applicable OB/hazards. The best part is that they have these signs by each tee, not just one or the other. There's also lots of next tee signs scattered throughout the course. I didn't have to use the map a single time.

Brand new Discatcher Pro 28's on every hole. These are your standard yellow banded models which stand out and catch great. One basket and two pin positions per hole. Between the two tees and pin locations there's lots of variety to had out here.

The location is way out in the middle of nowhere it seems, even though it's just a little bit off the expressway. You'll have a very quiet and peaceful round out here most of the time. Just a perfect piece of property for a disc golf course.

There's restrooms and a pro shop by the parking lot too. The pro shop wasn't open when we got there but was when we were leaving. I did peak in the window and it looked like they had a solid selection of discs. There's also camping onsite with showers in the pro shop building.

The course loops back near the parking lot after hole 10 which is nice. Not right next to it but close enough to refill on liquids.

Exhausting. Not a con per se, but just know that this course IS extreme. Especially by IN standards. You need to be in pretty good shape to tackle this one. Even then expect it to take a couple hours at least depending on your speed of play and group size.

Lots of blind pin placements that require some extra walking the fairway to spot them, especially the long positions. By the latter half I was just throwing first and looking second.

Hole 7 plays very close to the road and is almost a little TOO precise. I'd bet most pro players would have a hell of a time on this hole. I was over the moon with my 6 on the hole.

This course far exceeded my expectations. I was expecting it to be good from what I've heard, but WOW! This course is phenomenal. The whole Boylan Acres complex is a must visit experience. Three courses on site, all with a different feel to them. I'd recommend this place to any serious disc golfers. Just seeing the amount of work that's gone into this place in crazy. Steve was out there doing work for the whole time we were out there. I can't wait to come back and see how it looks next time I'm over this way.
