Pros:

This course is a significant improvement over the previous Buffalo Trace Park DGC. Whereas the previous course had mostly closed, wooded holes with little variation, run-down signage, and no water holes, the sequel has a much more well-rounded layout and new signs.

Each hole is different. Most of the holes are still in the woods, but differences in elevation, L/R shots, and narrow/open fairways really spice it up. A few holes allow you to air out your disc (12 and 18 come to mind). The water (on 5, 17, and 18) makes for a decent challenge as well as adding visual appeal.

Most holes have a picnic table at the tee; all have new, informative signs. Course is set in a full-featured park, and the mild activity unrelated to disc golf is a peaceful background noise.

A lot of thought definitely went into this course design. The nice groves, meadows, lake holes and varied putting greens make this a destination course.

Cons:

UPDATE: Many cons have been taken care of. Good work! Here's what remains:

The course is new, and a few kinks have not yet been worked out.

Hole 11. I was not a fan of this hole. Perhaps it's my beginner spirit, but it seems as though the hole is just slightly too challenging to be a par 4 (as it is), and far easier than a true 5. The hole itself is fun, but no par seems fitting.

It's minor, but the practice basket is not made the same as the rest.

Other Thoughts:

If you lose a disc in the water, there are boat rentals!

Suddenly, this area of the country has many top-level courses. Seviren Lang is Indiana's #2; this one is already top-rated. Lapping Park and another are under construction.

In Louisville? Come to the Hoosier side of the Ohio.
