Lots of change in elevation 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 20, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- significant elevation changes
- challenging uphill shots can be deceiving and produce short throws
- course rewards accuracy and shot placement
- beautiful mature trees
- easy to navigate for a first timer with nice signage
- #9 is a unique and difficult hole to par (but fun)

Cons:

- mosquitoes can be brutal
- framed tee pads often have standing water in them
- many buildings and often tents /campers to contend with
- errand throws can result in hitting cars, buildings, people, etc.
- too many blind shots for a campground setting

Other Thoughts:

A fun course to play once in a while just to mix things up and by no means easy. Hole #3 sets up nicely for a big hyzer (rhbh) over the parking lot if you enjoy that type of shot. The basket is nestled within some mature trees and can make for a blocked approach or put to keep thing interesting... unfortunately the proximity of this hole to the parking lot can make it a little sketchy if cars are present. Hole #4 is short, flat and probably the best birdie opportunity on the course. Hole #9 tee's off from on top of a hill and calls for an accurate throw through a narrow opening of mature trees. This dogleg right is a tough par 3 as your second shot will likely be quite some distance from the basket.

updated and changed rating from a 2.0 to a 2.5 (reconsideration)

Jealous of these Campers 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Solid elevation changes. These make for a lot of fun tee shots and tricky basket placements.
+Nice baskets- single chained but catch well enough. Not really an issue.
+Great signage, didn't really expect this at all but it made navigation a breeze.
+Blind shots are fun (see cons)
+Throw too close to cabins and potentially campers
+Pads are sort of gravel but are framed in and are pretty good to throw from, not too much distance required here.
+Big trees and a good amount of them

Cons:

-Unplayable for most of the summer due to campers being present
-Blind holes can be dangerous and it is hard to know where the basket is even with tee signs for a first time player.
-Not a ton of length or variation in length.

Other Thoughts:

+This course is designed for campers and camp visitors, not serious disc golfers. That being said, this course has a high fun factor if played at the right time.
+Don't play this course during the dates that the first reviewer mentioned, it won't be fun and could be dangerous. It was great the weekend that I played.
+I would recommend coming to this course as long as it isn't during the dates that campers are here. You will have fun.

Spicer is Nicer, Disc Golf! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 25, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Beautiful mature trees and has nice elevation changes.
Nice new signs.
Some challenging blind shots.
Well maintained grounds.
All pads are framed in by wood and has rock in them.

Cons:

Single chain DGA baskets.
Most holes you can't see basket from tee pads.
Throwing close to many cabins on 6, 7 and 8.

Other Thoughts:

Park by Church and go to basket #1 about 50 yards away throw up the hill to basket #2. You'll come back down after you hit the ones up there and throw down for 9 and back to start to finish at basket #1.

I attached camp schedule in the links. I wouldn't come here from June 9 - August 2, 2013 because of day camps.
