Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy navigation/good flow, concrete pads, strictly a disc golfing area, nice signage. It was very quite on the course. Nothing but birds singing and frogs croaking. No other people around on a Saturday morning and no traffic sounds to be heard either. Very peaceful. Fairways were mowed and the roughs weren't too rough. Nice mix of holes, doglegs, straight, uphill, downhill.

Cons:

If they designed this course to be a tournament level course, then I could come up with a trove of cons, mostly about the design. But I think this course was just designed to be fun and somewhat easy, and they succeeded. I don't remember seeing many trashcans or benches, not a big deal to me, but it is to a lot of others. Large tree down right in front of hole 11, again, no big deal, there is still a line to the basket.

Other Thoughts:

I loved hole 12! I've always wanted to throw over a lake on a hole. I've seen the pros do it so many times and it makes you feel like a pro to see your disc flying over water for at least 260 feet or so. I actually hit the cage for a near ace which made the hole even sweeter. The par 4's are all reachable in one throw if you can bomb like a pro. They were all easy birdies for me (my max drive is 400). Mostly open holes and the wooded holes were all pretty short. Great beginner course to teach someone on, since most of their stray shots will not be punished much or at all. My wife got 4 under course par and I got 10 under, and neither of us were putting very good. I recommend this course. It's fun and we will be traveling out to it again. 80-100% of the courses in our area are wooded, so it was nice to come out and chuck some plastic on some long open holes.

Clarkston college 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 27, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Interesting variety of holes. A couple of water dangers, one particularly scary 175 ft straight with bramble thorn underbrush impossibly gnarls jail on right and narrow slope to pretty lake on left... Or 250 plus over lake. Locals say they dong throw it on windy days. It was windy all three times I played and the wind blow differently over the lake than on the shore which requires a fairly hard heiser rhbh. Good variety of lengths and some truly unique holes with deep pits to get around or avoid. A lot of fun with some elevation change.

Good flow and most tees very easy to find. I never use maps, and when I was not sure it seemed the most plausible path was correct... With one exception. The pretty lakeside throw (not the nasty one) requires you couple back almost half way just inside the forest edge and then turn deeper into the forest. The plausible way is longer and leads down the edge of the fairway you will be throwing. A couple of signs would help. A delightful variety of prettiness from basket to basket. Cleaned and broken in i would rate this 3.5 easily, prettier than meeks, a little bit of Hobbs farm loveliness.

Cons:

Seemed pretty new (rough). On some of the roughs were piles of debris -- tires lumber and scrap metal overgrown by weeds, be careful if you throw into them. Also pretty easy its spend a loooong time searching in the waist high grass and weeds if you get off the fairway.

Other Thoughts:

Really enjoyed the course, attached to the tech college (part of the campus) and was designed after the nearby course in the state park was abandoned. I am pretty avg to below avg plus 5 275 ft drive once in a while a genuine 315 footer on flatland no wind. Most disliked the debris, and expect will be cleared up b college campus maint crew. Really odd technical shots and one very pretty lakeside shot. WELL worth the trip. That's why I came back two more times so far from my usual Jp moseley
