Colts Neck High School reviews

Played on:Aug 28, 2020
Played the course:once
Pros:
+ Yes, it's short and open. But there are things for the intermediate player (or the dad playing with kids) to enjoy here:
Hole #4 has on OB fence line all along the right side. It's a full-height cyclone fence, and it's maybe only 6 feet to the right of the tee. Straight shot? RHFH? Or an overstable disc out over the OB the entire way, with confidence that it will come back? You're here to practice: why not try all three?
Hole #7 is a super short ace run through a narrow gap in a stand of trees. The basket is positioned just slightly enough to the right of the line so it doesn't allow for any fade. Gotta know how to throw straight - and with enough force that risks going long.
Hole #9 has a line of smallish trees, the last one protecting the basket. RHFH? Spike hyzer that will crash through the last tree pin high?
+ Easy to create a safari layout with longer holes

Cons:
- If you take this for what it is (a well organized 9 around open athletic fields that can be used to refine skills), there are no cons other than restricted hours due to school
Other Thoughts:
~ A shout out to the two credited designers, who both do a lot for the sport in New Jersey. And credit to the school for investing funds in disc golf.
~ Colts Neck lacks the topography of some other better NJ high school layouts, so the designers had less to work with. Nonetheless, they created a good layout that encourages play; they put in tees, baskets and excellent signs
~ We're bringing up the next generation of players, some of whom will design courses, become volunteers, and help other NJ towns put in courses in the years to come
