Nice family friendly beginner's course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 21, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Family friendly with a park and several sports courts next to it
Nice a simple, good place to practice your short game/putting. Really good for beginner's to learn the sport
Nicely maintained grass (mowed)
Baskets are in good shape
Signs are helpful and in good shape!

Cons:

Tees need some stability! Only small mud paths right now
Ground needs to be cleaned up as there are many downed branches on the middle holes

Other Thoughts:

The course is just a nice plain and simple 9 hole course. Some completely open holes, some with scattered trees in the fairway and some with certain shots needed to get to the basket! Enjoy playing it even though it's a bit under my skill level because it is nicely kept up! Also not hard at all to navigate, mostly because its a small course, and that's always nice

Pitch and putt 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 3, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

*Great course for Kids, New players or if you want to work on your putting and upshot game.

*Easy navigation.

*Some technical shots

*basket within sight of tee box

Cons:

*Natural tee boxes can get a little bit sloppy.

*It's not a challenging course for anyone who's played more than a couple months.

*tee boxes are close to previous holes basket. If you go past the basket you can end up in another fairway.

Other Thoughts:

This is an ideal place to bring a new player/kids to learn how to play disc golf. Low chance of losing a disc, everything is reachable for me (low AM1 level) from a stand still putter shot.

Took my daughter her and we had a blast. Ideal place to take newbies or kids to play.
For anyone with experence, this is a good course for working on your upshots. shortest hole I think is 130' and longest is 204' down hill.

The park is beuatiful. I played early on a Sunday morning and was able to play four rounds in about an hour throwing 3 disc's on each hole.

Looking forward to taking my 9 year old with me next time to play some rounds.

Pring your putter 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Can play entire course in under 15 minutes.

No chance to lose a disc.

The perfect course to introduce kids to the game.

Cons:

Fairways do cross a bit.

One tee has the sign in your back swing.


Other Thoughts:

This is the shortest course I have ever player. The entire course would be the size of a typical par 4 on pro level courses.

I got to try many mid range upshot off the tee.

Fun easy course that has flexibility! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Easy to navigate and play.
- Course takes roughly 15 minutes to play by yourself.
- Due to the proximity of tee areas to baskets, you can mix around and shoot from different tees to different baskets to add longer, more challenging shots.
- Nice 2 disc course. A putter and a mid-range are all that you need!
- All holes are ace runs!
- Good course to build player confidence and to introduce people to the sport without overwhelming them.

Cons:

- Course pars are a little off. A par 4 for a 140ft shot is crazy, but at least you can walk away under par from the course.

Other Thoughts:

This course is tucked away in a park in PA. It was a little tough to get to the park due to detour signs, but if you follow your GPS despite the detour signs, you will find the park easily.

This is a fun course where your chances of losing a disc are impossible. Every hole is wide opened with some loosely scattered trees to help you learn and shape lines. I had a pleasant experience playing this course.

Great beginner course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 10, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is flat and very beginner friendly! The tee boxes are marked and most are very straight (not dog-legged). Basketball courts, tennis courts, picnic areas, playground, and a fishing stream is nearby for increased family fun. My family and I have had some great times out here! You could probably navigate this course with a putter and a mid-range disc. However, a few holes are guarded heavily with trees so bring some accuracy when you come! Easy to score well! Have fun!

Cons:

The tee boxes are muddy, so stand off to one side or the other or you may fall on your backside and give everyone else a laugh. No dog-legs and not much of a challenge for all of you who have monsterous arms!

Other Thoughts:

The course is in good shape considering it is only February 2012. Hope to see you out there!

Nice easy course for the beginner, builds your confidence, quick course, nice and open and all holes are straight
