-Fresh and healthy DD Veteran baskets (a few had risers attached)
-Nice and tacky concrete tee pads. On the shorter end, but workable and no drop offs on the ends
-Diversity of shot length and shape. Quite a few wooded holes as well as wide open field shots
-Clear, helpful, and accurate tee signs
-Multiple tee positions for most holes, and both tees for each hole has a tee sign
-Multiple pin positions for each hole
-Fairway upkeep is good typically, just recently seen that a good mow was needed
-Porta-john in parking lot
-Fair amount of parking, but limited during league events or tournaments

-This course is notorious for becoming overgrown in the summer. Thick bush off the fairways can eat discs real quick
-The path to the next tee is not always directly obvious and there is no "next tee" sign on the baskets to aid in navigation. This info is on the tee signs, and my attention span limited my memory of where to go next on a few holes. Udisc came in handy
-Don't know of any available water

I live on the West side of Dayton, so I often overlook Karohl and I wish I played here more often. The variety of shots here keeps the round from getting boring and redundent. I wish the undergrowth was more controlled, but there's not a lot to be done about that. Worth a drive from anywhere in Dayton

I liked this course cause it had a nice mix of varied holes. Some hidden baskets allowed for use of angle shots and some holes required thought in order to figure out the best 2nd approach shot.

Its nice the local maintainers of this course have cleared out a lot of the brush beside fairways so its not very thick and I found it easy to retrieve discs that were off course.

A few holes did have a good challenge in trying to get around trees and lines were tricky so thats a good thing but not too many.

Another nice thing is that many holes are sponsored by particular enties/companies and they have installed wooden stands acting like 'coat hangers' to allow players to hang their bag/backpack of discs to while they throw.

Some baskets have been moved to harder pin positions from what I think were previously looking to be easier ones and that is a plus I think since a lot of the holes are fairly short.

Grass has been cut after baskets to pretty much show where the next tee lies or hard packed dirt paths from baskets leading to next tee allows for navigation only once did we have to question how to get to next tee pad and seemed like majority of the holes had signs pointing toward next tee.

One thing and its picky but do watch out for short roots or tiny stumps sticking up on some of the areas where the brush or trees have been cut away recently. These I feel will gradually disappear over time but just be careful when you walk or step to throw that you are aware of these.

Overall I found this to be a very nice beginner course and yet it does have some challenging holes too. Having played all of the courses in the dayton area its nice to have a course that is flat and one that allows newer players to join the sport and not be completely overwhelmed at first.

Thanks to the designers and to those who maintain the course for their efforts. Also course was very easy to find and sounds like from what I read that more course improvements are in store in the future.

The Dayton area has had several new courses installed in the last few years, and Beavercreek's Karohl Park is one of them. Over the last 18 months, it's transitioned from a scrubby, soggy deuce-or-die track to one of the 2-3 best in greater Dayton. The county parks department does frequent maintenance, and the greens & fairways are cut regularly.

There's a great mix of hole types here, with the front 9 being more open and the back 9 being more heavily wooded. You'll need both a forehand and a backhand to score well here, particularly in the wooded section. Highlights include: Hole 4, with its late window near the basket on the right; Hole 11 in the long position, with an open tee shot to a wooded approach; and Hole 12, a 400' tightly wooded beast (one of the best holes in the Dayton area).

All teepads are concrete, and there are short and long tees on 7 holes to provide appropriate challenge for different skill levels. Multiple pin placements are available on most holes, and baskets are rotated frequently.

Brand new Veteran baskets (one of my favorites) were installed in June 2019 to replace the controversial Predator Great Whites. There's a practice basket available by the gravel parking lot, and it's often used as a 19th hole during events. A port-a-john is by the parking lot as well.

You're unlikely to lose a disc here unless you're playing it in the summer (see Cons).

This course is really flat, and that presents a couple of downsides. First, there's not much in the way of elevation change to liven up some of the more open holes. More importantly, it doesn't drain all that well and gets squishy when it rains. It's especially bad around the walk from hole 2 to hole 3, though some of this was a result of neighbors emptying their sump pumps into the park. They were caught and have stopped doing this, and it appears to have alleviated the problem somewhat. The parks department installed wooden bridges over the worst of it.

In the summer the rough gets really thick here, and if you shank a tee shot it can be a pain to find your disc. Worse, there are lots of deer at this park, and that means lots of ticks. Make sure to bring bug repellant.

A tall chain link fence down the left side of hole 11 and right on 18 defines the park's property line. Do not jump this fence to retrieve lost discs. One of the locals works with the property owner to get them returned to their owners.

Every hole except 6-9 has either had additional pin placements or long tees added, and as a result most of the tee signs are out of date. Until the new signs are installed you should check the distances listed here on DGCR. Those are correct.

With all the work that's gone into this course recently, reviews from before late 2020 don't remotely reflect its current state. If you haven't played it recently, definitely give it another try. It's better than you remember.

New concrete tees with gravel around them and signs by Chainreaction Disc golf are in.
All fairways are mowed and have been expanded. The wooded holes have been cleaned up and playable. Wooden walkways to help in the wet areas with more to come.

Wet in some places during rainy season. Tall grass and thick rough off the fairways.
