Pros:

Layout - Overall it's a solid mixture of open holes and tight short wooded holes. I think the course is nicely balanced in how it mixes these up as well to keep the round flowing.

Some nice looking and fun open holes that give you elevation changes and bring water and other OB in to play on all of them. The open holes have more variance in distance than the wooded holes as well.

The wooded holes have a homegrown feel to them. They are mostly in the mid 200' range and tight requiring a shot shape and hitting multiple gaps. There's also a bit of elevation change on these as well. Most of them were fun shots I was pleasantly surprised.

The greens are well done here to force you to be accurate and considerate of where you are landing in juxtaposition to obstacles and OB.

There's a couple of par 4's thrown in to mix things up.

Equipment - The tees are marked with a numbered stone. The baskets were discatchers and newer. Those yellow bands came in really handy on the wooded holes here. There are signs scattered about helping you navigate where you should be transitioning.

Atmosphere - You're on a campus and I'd say about half of the holes you're out in the open in view of the parking lot/buildings. The open holes by the water are very picturesque; and #2 is great looking hole on just about any course. The wooded holes bring you more away from the noise a bit more.

Cons:

Layout - The biggest problem are the holes that would seem to create some safety issues. They are all good holes if you know nobody is there but I didn't feel comfortable throwing some of them during a busy school day. Those that had full visibility are fine but some don't.

#1 has you throw 288' downhill blind of the road you're throwing towards before fading around a daycare playground. I threw from a lesser angle from about where #18's basket is.

#5 has you playing 655' down the side of the road in an area about 30' wide around a blind corner. I'd move the tee across the road down where you can easily see traffic coming both ways before throwing.

#17 you throw over the road parallel to it with the lot coming in to play. You can see the cars coming both ways but the cars in the lot were to close to comfort for me.

#18 was fine for me but some might not feel comfortable throwing it because it's parallel to the lot and finishes near it.

Besides that the flow of the layout was a bit confusing for me as a first timer. The signs help but when you get to the latter part with the open holes it's confusing on which basket goes with which tee. Definitely make sure you bring the map which is on here.

There's a lot of blind shots here in the woods as well so you'll need to walk up and find the basket repeatedly.

Equipment - The oft uneven gravel tees are not ideal, I didn't have an issue with them considering the length of most of these holes. That's a con for most though so I'm putting it here.

The tee signs are just rocks with numbers, you don't get a distance or hole map so again bring the map on here or your phone for info.

Atmosphere - If you enjoy solitude half of this course is not for you. Off fairway in the woods can be pretty rough. The wooded holes are never picturesque.

Other Thoughts:

I was surprised in a good way by this course. If it were in a vacuum and non dg'ers were never around I could of probably gave it an even higher score. The fact remains I had to skip or play some holes not the intended way because I didn't feel comfortable and that's never something you want to feel while trying to enjoy yourself.

Overall I do recommend this course if you're in the area. I'd suggest maybe going on a weekend or later in the day when less traffic is about.

A few fun holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

#3 and #4 were pretty cool holes. Baskets are in good shape.

Cons:

Pads are small and slick if wet at all. No signage at all. Super overgrown over the summer.

Other Thoughts:

3, 4, and 7 (just for ace run potential) are fun to play. If you're in the area, it's a nice warm up for the other courses in the area. Overall though, pretty boring in comparison for a disc course.
