Fun start with dull ending 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

*Challenging first 4 holes, as water is a factor
*Good distance on several holes and a few shorter holes
*Laid out fairly well, first 4 holes are good, last 5 are ok
*Rough isn't too overgrown, so retrieving errant shots isn't overly difficult, especially after the first 4 holes
*Hill on first 4 holes can create some interesting rolls

Cons:

*Basket on #5 missing
*Tee boxes not well marked on #6, #8, and #9
*No garbage cans that I recall
*Would have been lost after #4 if I hadn't read a note that #5 was uphill from it, so missing signage here is big negative
*Holes 5 - 9 are just long holes for the most part, so not much difficulty with them

Other Thoughts:

*For those who like water on a course, you can't beat the first 4 holes, especially #4 which got one of my discs
*My review ignores the fact that #5 is missing, so with or without 5, I would review the same
*Full and fair disclosure: I finished my round just after sun down, so finding tee boxes on the last few tees maybe easier in the full daylight

Worth a try... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The first 4 holes are fantastic (much like the other review states) are exactly what a disc golf course should be. Great use of elevation, water, groomed fairways presenting opportunities for you to "man-up" and go for it without fear of consequences of an errant throw.

Cons:

The last 5 holes were a bit too open for my liking. If you are new to the sport and looking to up your skills and not lose any discs, stick to holes 5-9.

Other Thoughts:

The college campus can be busy so be careful to watch for students out and about.
