surprisingly good for a church camp course

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-three pretty big downhill shots on one 9 hole course
-somewhat links-style course with rough off the fairways and some large, mature trees in the fairways
-discatchers in good condition, numbered tee posts, flat grass tees
-easy to navigate once you've found the first tee
-well-designed for young players and fun for rec level players

Cons:

-limited access and likely that your call won't get picked up in the off season
-if you can throw 300' easily then this is a pitch & putt
-fairly out of the way

Other Thoughts:

After calling the number and getting no response I decided to drive by and check it out. There were a few people at the main building but they were all guests helping with an event for that evening, no employees. I decided to play the course while I was already there and see if anyone showed up. The course was a quick play and when I checked after my round there was still nobody there. Of course, I would never advocate trespassing but it was easy to get in and out here unnoticed. I would have gladly paid the fee but there was nobody to collect it. A donation box at tee 1 would be nice but I understand that they would probably rather not have one just to force people to stop by the office so that they know who is on the property.

Anyway, the course is short and simple but fairly fun. Holes 1, 7, & 9 all have downhill tee shots with about a 30'-40' elevation drop. The rest of the holes mostly play links-style through a flat area with a some large trees in the fairways giving some low ceilings to navigate. The longest holes are around 300' but they are mostly in the 225'-275' range. Hole 8 was a bit shorter, something under 200'.

This is a great course for the camp kids and young people in general. It's easy to navigate and easy to play plus there are only a few places where you might lose a disc in the thicker rough. For the average disc golfer, there's just not enough here to justify driving out here. For the course baggers and locals who want to check it out anyway, it's probably best to avoid it during the summer when camps are in progress.
