Having played both now, Clear Fork Reservoir and Reservoir Ridge likely had much of the same design team …and that's a good thing. Clear Fork is a beautiful park, with water vistas on the front nine, and woodsy challenges on the back. Then, if throwing long is your thing, the last two holes give you a chance to do that, as well. With two basket positions on each hole, large (4'x10' to 12'), level, concrete tees, and bright green Prodigy (webbed) baskets, this course has excellent, informative signage, especially when used in conjunction with the map. Watch for 'next tee' arrows on the signs before you leave the tee, and the course flows well, even for a first time here, intermediate player bagging his 400th course.

There is excellent variety in the style of play here, creating opportunities to shape shots up and down the rolling terrain, and sometimes forcing you to make risk/reward decisions. There's a little bit of everything here to challenge the recreational to intermediate player. As a shorter armed, rhbh, technical player, my favorite holes may have been the wooded 11 and 12 (the first one very reachable, and the second requiring a longer tee shot before the R to L fade at the end).

My rating takes a little hit for a handful of safety concerns here, with at least three holes on the front nine having picnic tables in the fairway (or in the case of the peninsula right position on hole two, ON the green). The ace run hole 4 has been intentionally designed to throw over a grill and table setup that looks like it predates the course. Then there were three dogleg holes that played completely blind, where it would be easy to hit players in front of you, so you really need to send a spotter ahead (and that adds a lot of extra hiking for the solo player). Then, starting at hole 13, you have three consecutive holes that play in the swampy lowland (or cross the boggy end of the lake. Even though they've made a lot of effort to build bridges and access, if it's wet, you will be in the mud, or worse.

But overall, I really enjoyed and appreciate the effort and the fun at Clear Fork. It's a really nice hour or two in a beautiful park not too far off the interstate, and well worth a stop if you have the time.

Beautiful scenery. There's a lake, lot's of open space and a patch of flowers in the forest.

Extremely well marked. Could use some new signage by the tee boxes but still legible signage.

Few spots where losing a disc is possible.

Clearly maintained and regularly mowed.

Kind of hard to get a feel for the course. While there was a good variety of shots some holes were extremely short and were followed by extremely long. I guess what I'm trying to say is it didn't "flow" exceptionally well. Some slick mud on the last 4 or 5 holes.

A significant amount of small tree stumps were still present in the woods. I kicked at least 5 or 6. Found myself looking straight down when I was walking to throw my next shot.

Some of the holes in the woods are too wooded and cannot be played without throwing a disc into a tree. I bent one of my discs from throwing it into a tree.

One of my favorite holes I've seen is on this course. Hole 17 consists of 3 things: the tee, a giant open field and a basket 300+ feet away. I found the simplicity of this fun and entertaining while still being a challenge .

Overall a great time and about a 15-20 minute drive off of 77. If I'm in the area I'd play it again. Got through it in about an hour and 40.

This course is a lot of fun. A decent mix of open park holes and tight wooded shots. A few short birdie runs and a few long bomb holes.
Overall a great mix.
The course plays through a beautiful park on the edge of the reservoir, green grass and gentle rolling hills add to the ambiance.
The baskets! Oh the brand new MVP baskets. They are in great shape and grab discs well.
There are some navigational signs that really help point you in the right direction.

The signage could be upgraded. There are laminated signs at most tees, but several have deteriorated and need replacing.
Navigation, although not terrible, could use some upgrades as well. I didn't get lost, but, you need to keep your eyes open and look out for the next tee.
Although most tee pads were new and sufficient, there was a natural pad still and several that seemed a bit short.

Overall a very enjoyable golf experience. The park is beautiful and the nice mix of holes was fun. With a few more updates, this course has some great potential.

If you're in the area, I would highly recommend playing here!

This course is in a beautiful area. I though that this course had a nice variety of holes that require players to take an assortment of different shots. I thought that the designers were pretty creative and made good use of the land that was available. Nice mix of open and wooded holes. Overall, the tees were pretty nice quality as well, and I was very impressed with the baskets too. Definitely worth a trip.

I thought that some holes could have used a little more signage to direct players. I was pretty confused the first time I went. This was probably mostly my fault, but I stood on a tee facing the wrong direction for quite a while trying to find the basket the first time I went. Some of the short bridges that went over small streams/creeks seemed a little disappointing (and slippery!).

I've only been to a handful of courses so I don't have too much to compare this course with because I am still pretty new to the game. I was still very impressed with this course.

Course is by a large body of water, so watch out for mosquitoes!

Hole 17 certainly gives you enough room for a big throw, but I've spent my fair share of time recovering my disks from some extremely thick brush.

This course gives you a wide variety shots and really tests everything you have in your arsenal. It's very scenic and clean as well as quiet and beautiful. There are a great mix of wooded and open holes. There are grip it and rip it holes and there are short finesse shots through the woods. There are next tee signs and tape on the baskets to guide your way. The course flows very nicely. Concrete tee pads and Prodigy baskets are also huge added bonuses. If you're in the area, check it out!

My only cons are all the poison ivy (can't do a whole lot about where nature puts that stuff) and new tee signs are needed. The current signage have been drenched a few times over by the looks of it and are deteriorating slowly.

The pros completely outweigh the cons for me here and I will definitely be back!
