- Excellent signage throughout the course
- Well manucure park (very clean too)
- Cement teepad (Blue and White) --- I played from blue
- Trash barrel at regular interval throughout the course
- Small broom at each teepad to clear sand and/or dirt (nice touch)
- All levels of play friendly (my kids and wife had a blast even though they are not regular players)
- Good variety of holes on many different environments which is surprising in a land that is not that big. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety (forest, open, meadow, small hill).
- Crayon and score sheet with map are available at startup. The map on the score sheet is precise.
- Discatcher baskets with the hole number on the band clearly visible. I personally prefer discatcher over chainstar or black hole. They are more visible from a distance.

- Poke and pray on hole 4 and 8 (a couple pine could go down)
- On hole 14, blue teepad seems like an afterthought. There is an 90 degree angle in the fairway after 60 feet which call for an hyzer bomb since no discs turn 90 degree or losing a stroke. It might have been an idea per design. It doesn't work well.
- The map showing the baskets on the teepads on a couple of holes could be more precise. The map on the score sheet was more precise, which could be confusing for a first timer.

We were on our way to a leisurely day in the sates when I offer my wife and kids to stop by Caddyville to play a quick round of disc golf. Whenever I make that type of "offer", I usually get a profound and unanimous "No dad!!!". This time around, everyone agreed to try this new course. Everyone, including my older daughter, had fun and enjoyed the course. The variety of the surrounding probably is a big factor in them having a great moment. The city did a commendable job with this course and the club that is keeping it in a great playing shape.

I wasn't expecting anything of this course. It was refreshing to see a great new course. And I will be coming back!

* Three different tees for different experience levels
* Good tee signs
* Brushes at every concrete pad
* Bag hooks at most tee locations
* Excellent fairway maintenance

* Red tees are dirt with nowhere to hang a bag
* Red tees sometimes took a little work to find
* No signage from hole 9 back to the parking lot if you just want to play the front 9

Really enjoyed playing the front 9. This is a fun course that winds through a park with beautifully manicured fairways and obvious rough areas.

The red tees are, honestly, a little short even for a noob like me, but I had fun playing them. Even from the red tees several of the holes offered multiple line options. Next time I'd likely play from the white tees.

Recommended if you're coming to/from Montreal!

This is a great course to learn on, a good mixture of left and right hole placements, nothing extremely long. Longest hole is just over 500 feet. It has nice concrete teepads, some might think they are a little short, id estimate they are maybe 6ft long. The course is well marked as far as going hole to hole and the lay out flows pretty well.

Hole diagram sheets on each hole need updating as they give you a general idea of the hole but its not very accurate or real to life on a few. Holes 4 and 8 don't have a perfectly defined route to take from the white tee pads due to trees(I cant comment on blues as I haven't played from them on those holes). Hole 4 is a RHFH or LHBH thrown a little soft and pray it doesn't hit a tree. If it doesn't hit one and you get a nice fade you'll be set right up for a birdie shot. Hole 8 has an approximately defined 200ft fairway then probably another 100 feet of plinko trees everywhere guarding the basket for an approach which can get a little frustrating for any one who doesn't get a lucky lay. In my opinion hole 8 is worse then 4. There is also a lot of wild raspberry bushes with some nasty thorns in the rough areas also which is a nice home for ticks to hang out in.

The town of Plattsburgh owns this course and the local clubs seems to be very active using it and according to their facebook page they seem to have management days where they clean and upgrade the course on occasion. It is also rumored they might be adding another 9 holes to make an "east" loop to play.
Overall a good fun course to play just remember some bug spray if your worried about ticks. As the course changes and I get better I will update this review accordingly.

3 tees of varying difficulty:
Red- Beginner
White- Intermediate
Blue- Advanced

Unique course elements:
The multiple tree craziness on Blue 7
Totem Guy on 8, which I have a set of chains from
The Elevated basket on 16 makes for good Turbo Putting

White and Blue tees have concrete teepads.
Red tees have natural tees with a rubber mat somewhere close by usually if its a wet tee.

A decent blend of tight technical shots (3,4,8,9,12) with some more open holes (1,2,10,11,17,18) the remaining holes are either tight off the tee (6,7,13,15,16) or OH shots/hyzers to tight greens (5,14).

The holes are a fairly good blend of RHBH/RHFH with a ratio of approximately 2:1 depending on the tees and personal ability.

The course is usually clean unless some inconsiderate fools (which does happen) just leave their trash wherever even thought the closest garbage is no more than 3 holes away.

Always has scorecards/sign-in sheet which is there so they know how many people play the course.

Ample parking unless it is a Wednesday night due to fun runs on the course and surrounding area during the summer.

The course has a practice basket which has wooden blocks every 5 feet from 10-30. The ball fields provide a nice play to warm up your arm if you throw less than 500'.

The red tees are pitch and putt on the front 9 with multiple holes under 100'. The reds on the back 9 are longer but red eleven is only 320'.

Some holes are a joke or just have an unnecessary item to them such as 14 blue or 2 and 16 red or 9 white.

The signs for distance on 11 have unfortunately removed by a third party and the town is trying to come up with a solution to the issue.

Holes 17 and 18 do play along the road, however it is a less traveled road and playing the skip off the road is legal.

BEWARE OF THE DISC-MARKING POWERLINES ON 17 AND 18.

Overall its a well maintained course.

Hole 12 has been cleaned up so it is now less of a joke.

This course teaches you that you need to be able to get discs to go left, straight, and right.

Cadyville Rec Park is a largish multi-use park which seems to be divided into two parts. The recreational area with the ball fields, etc. and then the more wilderness area where the disc golf course is located. You can tell from the start that this is a labor of love with the local disc golf group as everything shows the amount of work they've poured into this course.

At the start there is a kiosk with a course map and other pertinent information, a practice basket and a drop down folder/desk thing asking you to sign in every time you play the course. Are they concerned you might get lost and need a rescue party sent out? I felt like I was starting out hiking the Appalachian Trail or something. There's also a warning sign about ticks and Lyme disease. Now I have a niece who just got very ill from Lyme disease and between the ticks warning sign and having to sign in, I was a little concerned. There's also a practice basket.

The course now features three marked tees for each hole: The Blues (longest), the Whites (rec) and the Reds (beginner type distances). The blues and the whites have concrete pads while the shorter reds are currently just natural. There are fairly basic metal signs on the blue and white tees and laminated paper ones at the red tees. There are small brooms at each concrete pads and two bag hooks on each pole. Lots of next tee signs throughout the course help you navigate easily including some next tee arrows hanging from baskets. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow ring and the always helpful numbers on them.

I played from the whites. I'd say the layout is a fairly challenging recreational level from the white tees. Without actually playing the blues, they looked to be kind of intermediate level.

The course did have have a certain level of "uniqueness" to it. On # 8, there is a crazy totem pole looking thing right in the middle of the fairway with chains hanging off the top. # 11 has the driving distances marked off every 100 feet but like someone has previously mentioned, it's a little irrevelant as it's slightly uphill. # 16 has an 8 foot elevated basket with a well built wooden platform to retrieve your disc. I thought this was pretty cool. Lot's of courses have elevated baskets but I've never seen such a nice retrieval setup.

I intially thought # 4 was maybe a little unfair but as I really studied it more carefully, I spotted a route and then I almost skipped one in. I also really enjoyed # 9's downhill hyser throw.

I'm a little concerned about #'s. 17 and 18 playing alongside the street. I don't know how busy that street is but I can see a few discs being thrown into traffic. I hope players use good judgement on those two holes.

The course is a little on the quirky side but I liked that. I'm not sure about that weird pole on # 8 but, oh well?

This course has way too many positives to dwell on a couple of nitpicking negatives. I wish I could have taken the time to play from the longer blues and the beginner reds, for that matter. This is a course that I would love to claim as my home course. My hat's off to the local disc community here in Caddyshack, Oh sorry Cadyville!

Course is brand new, and very nice. Top of the line baskets, with concrete tee pads makes the playing experience very nice. Very well groomed, benches on a couple holes and a good mix of left and right turns. Located at a very nice recreation park, course gets mowed every time the baseball fields get cut. Good course for beginner players since it is not that difficult of a course. I feel that in a few years the course will only get better since trees and shrubs will grow bigger making the coure more challenging. There is also a "practice" basket right at the parking lot to warm up on, a nice addition.

Only con I can list as of 4/15/10 is that not all 18 holes are in. The first 9 holes are complete, with all tee-pads poured and tee-signs installed. The next 9 holes are being designed as you read this, and the construction will be starting withing the next couple months. This will not effect play of the front 9, course will be open all year long.
