+ The course has been updated and improved substantially since it was previously reviewed. It is now a full 18, with two sets of baskets (silver - short - baskets are a mix of old and new DGA's; gold - long - baskets are DiscCatchers topped with flags)


+ Tees are new: very level and firm rubber, framed by timbers. Brooms at most tees. Welcome information board, lost disc box, practice area, benches at many tees, porta potties in the parking lot


+ Mohegan is one of the thickest wooded courses I've played. They've done a tremendous amount of tree cutting, but the fairways are very narrow, the lines are specific, and almost every hole features a really tight gap. With only one open hole (#11), there's no let-up


+ Lots of elevation change once you cross the park road to the second tee. Most of the sliver baskets are visible from the tee, often straight ahead but requiring you to hit a gap and then maintain a line along the narrowing fairway. The Gold baskets are farther out, and usually set off on a dogleg to the right or left - sometimes featuring an additional change in elevation to navigate. Gold adds 2100' of length, but also adds 10 to par


+ Mohegan puts a real premium on being accurate off the tee. Scrambling for par is challenging, but possible. There isn't a lot of low cover. When you're off the fairway you'll just have to find a line through all the trees

- The new and beautifully printed signs provide distance and elevation change, but the maps are just aerial photos of thick woods, so they're next to useless in cases where you can't see the basket (often the case on Gold). The Gold and Silver lines they've superimposed on the photos don't help much, and on a few early tees (like #2 and #3), the lines weirdly point in the wrong direction

~ Not cart-friendly: you'll be dragging it up hills and lifting it over rocks


~ The condition of this course is immaculate. Woodchips marking many greens. There are plastic arrows on the baskets pointing toward the next tee. Both layouts share the same tee, so the navigation is intuitive and easy


~ If you love woods golf, Mohegan Park should be on your list. Both layouts are demanding. There's only one open hole (#11) to provide brief respite. You're hiking up and down hills through the woods, and the course requires precision that you might not be able to muster as you get tired

Beautiful location and lots of variety: uphill, downhill, forehand, backhand, hyzer, anhyzer, straight shots, dog legs...not difficult to navigate.

It isn't really a con, but the course, as of today (10/24/20), is still not yet complete, but playable. Signs still need to be added and tees still need to be worked on a little bit, but these are in the works.
