Lucky High Schoolers!

Other Thoughts:

Designers earn extra credit finding ways to squeeze this one in on a tight property with lots of athletic fields and equipment. Features the most OB/obstacles of the Freehold schools courses: a service road crosses three holes; athletic facilities create boundaries on three or four holes, and the property line creates the real possibility of lost discs on one hole


Mostly flat ground with a few slight elevation changes, fit in among the equipment and facilities including tennis, baseball, track and field. They make for tight lines, but the course is entirely playable, so long as the other sports aren't being played


Nice mix of short, medium and longish holes - the longest are 291' par 3 and 359' par 4


Excellent signage and baskets, very good slightly raised paver tees that are adequate, if a bit compact. Arrows pointing to the next tee. Like the other school courses in the district, students learn to play on a "real" course, scaled for new players, with the addition of some fun obstacles.


Hole #2 might prove to be troubling for students, the school, and neighbors. The left side of the 260' hole borders the back of the school property, with a chain link fence and a thick hedge. Errant and nose-up throws risk disappearing into or behind the hedge, and into the neighboring yards. That said, it's a very fun hole, because there's a small service road running along the left side of the fairway, with some athletic equipment to the right. It calls for a tightly controlled shot to a slightly raised green, and you could fade into the road and take a penalty stroke


Great for a fun, quick round with mids and putters. Now that all six schools in the district have nine holers, visit when school's out and the fields are quiet - in fact, play all six and make a day of it!

Mission Accomplished!

Pros:

Newly installed 9 hole permanent course on the well-manicured property of Freehold Boro High School. Sufficiently sized tee pads made from 1' x 1' step stones and wood perimeter. Brand new Innova DISCatcher baskets with blue rims stand out. Each hole has a 4' x 6' post with a nicely printed aluminum sign showing par, distance and map. Small orange arrows are affixed to the very top of each basket pointing players to the next tee. Manageable distances and straightforward layout maximize the potential for student success. Modest elevation is incorporated into the layout and there is a 370 foot high school par 4 hole where kids can air it out.

Cons:

Course is short and doesn't really allow for shot-shaping. Pad 6 is not truly in line with the basket location. There are a couple of spots where careless throws could wind up in someone's back yard. The course weaves in and around athletic fields, limiting access after school.

Other Thoughts:

The Jersey Shore Disc Golf Club has finally fulfilled its mission of installing a course at all six schools in the Freehold Regional High School District! The Freehold Boro course presents yet another opportunity for area students to learn the sport and improve their skills. It is a straightforward layout with modest distances, yet there is enough OB areas to keep players honest; Fences and asphalt come into play on several holes and require a thoughtful approach off the tee. Navigation is pretty intuitive and the course successfully intertwines with existing facilities.

For a fun day, consider playing this course along with two or three other school 9-holers within a 20 minute radius. Clubs have been formed at three of the six schools and hopefully inter-school competition is not far behind!
