Hey, I always give credit to anyone willing to put in a course, and this large nine hole course is on well maintained college grounds, and gradually improves in beauty as it progresses. There is a blue practice basket right by the tennis courts, and not too far from the first tee, where you get to uncork your long tee shot out to the north, before rounding the campus counter clockwise though hole nine.

Signage is informative and relatively easy to spot (there are even helpful 'next tee' arrows on the Prodigy baskets), and the white bands on the blue caged baskets are almost all visible from the tee areas. You do have some distances to throw, and the approaches have some line shaping. The course favors long arms, assuming they can throw for distance on the intended line. For those with an accurate, low 350' to 400' drive, you might have a look at deucing holes 4-6, 8 & 9. If you have less (like me: 300' is good), you look to go "all threes" here. So, overall an interesting course to try to figure out…

…who is the intended audience? Younger players tend to throw for more distance, and this course will not penalize errant throws that go even 20 or 30 degrees left or right. You're mostly looking at: heave, approach, and (hopefully) putt for a three if you're intermediate or above. There won't be much to interest advanced or open players, and I see beginners and recreational level players just getting frustrated. In fact, there was NO one else playing on a 72 degree, sunny Saturday morning, and when I realized I'd left a disc in the first basket (I was on hole 5), I wasn't too worried about it still being there when I finished my round (it was).

There are no designated foul lines, toe boards or any other way to identify the intended tee (I didn't see any of the white 'cubes' mentioned in MrFrosty's review), so I saw some evidence of "tee creep" in the slightly worn turf. The finishing holes, while pretty (around or over the pond) have disc loss written all over them: on hole 8, do you throw to clear (250'+) or bail right, towards that picnic table and bench. Hole 9 is uphill, so that you can't see the edge of the pond from the tee. The slope makes the "carry" an effective 290'+, and bailing out to the right requires WAY right your first time.

Unfortunately, this course sat between Hazy Shade and Caesar's Ford on my bagging itinerary for the day, and it doesn't do a very good job of measuring up to either. But if it's all you've got, you live close by, and lack transportation…
