Awesome course! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Really tough lines to the holes, no easy way at at lot of the pins, and many holes over 400 and a couple over 600. Nice playing without poison ivy and stickers for once.

Cons:

Bit of standing water on the course. Pins tough to find on the first time playing the course as many pins are on the other side of a hill or not in a normal line.

Championship Caliber 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Championship caliber course in a beautiful setting. Fort Massac is a breath of fresh air in an area where most courses are designed by the same person and all have a similar "feel." The disc catchers are easy to see and catch well. They are new so the chains have that orgasmic sound when they are hit. The teepads are long and grippy. You always know where to go next with all the next tee signs. This course rewards distance and accuracy and punishes errant or bad throws. There is a good mixture of holes that requires you to have every shot in your bag. The design was well thought out and provides a well needed challenge in the area. Long mostly open holes, ace run holes, hidden baskets, long tight holes - everything is here.

Cons:

Only con I can think of would be the drainage by 18's basket. Other than that this course is AWESOME!

Other Thoughts:

This is a true disc golf course that rewards distance and accuracy and punishes bad throws. In regards to hole 2 - it requires an accurate drive about 325-350' and then a good upshot to score a birdie. With an errant drive there is still chance at par but requires a good "get out of trouble" shot. Love this course, best in the area.
