Pros:
Disc Golf comes across as the focal point of this beautiful park, with an opening hole where you get to launch an open drive downhill ("yay!" -noodlearm) towards the woods, come back to your right, and launch another downhill. So I'm already happy at the outset of this 24 hole gem.
For Rec to Intermediate players, Lincoln Ridge (once called BankLick) is the very best. Open players seem to want just a little more challenge, but the rest of us will already struggle with the variety and sometimes the length of this course. Holes range (fairly evenly distributed) in length, elevation and technicality, and (if you're limited by time) loop back toward the parking lot at #11, 19, 23 (&24), but you'll want to play them all!
Concrete tee pads, decent tee signs, and good baskets join benches and trash receptacles on every hole. The park is always well-maintained, and I've never even seen much trash here. Paths and some of the wooded fairways got new mulch before the first spring tournament, and are clearly kept up regularly. There are upper and lower tee pads on four of the holes, adequate parking, and amenities (bathrooms, shelter, playground, ball fields, etc.) for the rest of the family if they don't get hooked and play with you.
But if I haven't mentioned the beauty, the open shots include one (#13) that goes out 317' along a ridge that falls off gently into the woods on three sides of the basket, a tricksy drop shot down toward a ravine right and beyond, and then two beautiful trail holes where you'll really want to stay up to the left, and not down the 20' bluff into the creek.
One of my favorite holes is a 270' ravine-crossing (rhbh) anny (#20) that cuts through a 15' gap about 200' from the tee. It feels awesome to park this one for a birdie!
I haven't even mentioned the wooded, uphill, blind, S-shaped #6, the deuce-able but dangerous drop on #7, or the rewarding blind hyzer #8. But wait, even the open (again, downhill!) finish on the 519' #24 rolls across the manicured lawn above the picturesque pond.
Update 4/22/14: For variety, there are 'upper' and 'lower' tees on 10, 16, 18, 19, & 21). There are a few alternate pin placements (on 1, 10, 11 & 13) used since I started playing in 2011, but they are not frequently shifted, so you don't need to constantly adapt.
The parks department (or volunteers?) keep this course in the top favorites in the world by annually refreshing mulch and gravel where needed, or, just this month, terracing a nice set of steps down the steep hill on the ace run #7. The path down the right side of the fairway is safe and easy for all weather conditions, right down to the bridge. Nicely done!
Cons:
The only complaints I have here are that holes #22 & 23 feel so much like afterthoughts, involving a lengthy trek up the driveway and across the entry drive, to get to them; #10, aside from being hard on me, tends to retain water, and the basket is on a fairly steep slope down to the right (watch your rollers); and there are now a couple of places (especially on #19 upper), where the tee pads need to be replaced or upgraded.
Edit 4/22/14: For 'winter' tourney play, or when the slopes are likely to be treacherous, the 'winter 20' are often played, skipping the beautiful, but slippery ravine holes 14-17. We cut left down the path after 13, but that path can be a muddy mess, as well, and the 'lower' 18th tee pad is not really maintained regularly (FYI if you're worried about your footing in the wet).
Other Thoughts:
In all, if you're in Northern Kentucky or the Greater Cincinnati area, you have a number of 'Must See' courses. Stop by Idlewild or Mt.Airy for beauty plus challenge, but if you're hoping to play the most fun and beautiful course in the region, stop by for a couple of enjoyable hours at Lincoln Ridge.
