Fun private course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Cart friendly, gentle slopes, shady forest, not too much brush to lose discs in, generally fun to play. The front 27 are very beginner friendly as long as you keep track of yourself on the longer holes.

Cons:

Need to call ahead, need knowledge of the course to play the first time, hard to find first tee, last 9 are crazy punishing, holes often don't have a good "line" directly to the basket, it felt weird throwing so close to personal property even if it is a private course.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a very nice course. With some tree removal and lane creation all 36 would be superb. Could probably use a little better signage for the first tee, however I really liked the course.

Homemade at its Best 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 11, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

- 27 different looking holes spread throughout some beautiful property in Owego NY. There didn't seem to be much if any repetition through all 27
- The course is set into three sets of nine if you didn't have time to play a whole round
- Tees and baskets are numbered
- Most holes if not all had cement tee pads
- Great course for working on control. You don't have to be able to throw far to do well on this course
- Variety of shots required to play well on this course. I threw sidearm throws as well as anhyzer throws, some hyzer throws and even a thumber or 2
- Great scenery to look at while you are playing the course
- The owners of this course are extremely friendly and helpful . Karen played a round with me when she got home from a hard day of work and I might not have made it through the course without her.

Cons:

- Baskets are homemade although they are the best I have seen and I could hardly tell the difference. They put this course in with no sponsorships or donations and as far as I know don't even charge people to play. 27 400 dollar baskets would be a little too much for them to come up with.
- The tees can be a little short
- The course is not set up yet for the passerby disc golfer to play on their own. So if you haven't played before it is recommended and pretty much required that you set up an appointment to come down and play with Bill or Karen. They are very fun to play with.

Other Thoughts:

So what do you do if you enjoy disc golf and there are no courses in the area, well you make your own and that is exactly what Bill and Karen have done. They have done a very nice job at that. I really enjoyed my round with Karen and it made for a nice ending for my Binghamton disc golf trip. Like I said before if you want to try this course out make sure you call and set up an appointment to play.
