Davis County Discin' 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Apr 9, 2020

Pros:
-Great DD Veteran baskets (which are some of the catchiest baskets in my opinion)
-Concrete tee pad for every hole
-Nice variety of length: has a 430' and 530' hole on the long end, and a couple 200' ace runs on the short end. Plenty of distance variety in between, too.
-Well thought out course design. This doesn't look like land that should have a disc golf course built on it, but the designer used elevation changes and man-made obstacles (baseball field fence, electrical poles, etc) to increase the challenge on what at first glance appears to be a boring course.
-Located on a community college campus, so the grounds are in great shape.
-While I think the longer holes could be frustrating to a new player, it's still pretty beginner friendly. It's not as busy as most courses, the lines are open and easy to hit, and it would be almost impossible to lose a disc here. So overall this course is newbie approved.

Cons:
-Course has been redesigned since the tee signs were put in; most of the signs are correct but the ones that aren't cause serious confusion for anyone not using uDisc.
-Appears to be only one pin placement and one tee pad per hole, so not a lot of variety if this is your home course
-Not much of a challenge. I'm a low Int/high Rec level player and have shot both a -3 and -5 in my first five rounds here.

Other Thoughts:
-This course is typically fairly windy, at least relative to the other courses in the Wasatch Front. Which as a native Midwesterner feels like home, but for a native Utahan might up the challenge ever so slightly.
-This course is now only 13 holes after the redesign. That being said, it feels like a "real" disc golf round to me...closer to an 18 hole experience than a 9 hole experience, which is why I don't list this as a con. But for someone that needs the full 18, you'll be disappointed.
