Great Spot

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 26, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a school course with everything you would expect from a school course - except it's actually decent. There are scattered trees throughout the entire 4 acres this course is set on, making for a fun, but easy course. The first few holes are in the open, and then there is a nice variety of moderately wooded shots.

There are several "tunnel shots" that make sure to not punish you too hard. Holes 5 and 8 give you a couple of trees to beat, and hitting one of them and falling down won't keep you parked. Several holes also have some crazy around the outside lines, which is a little cheesy, but is fun at the same time.

Hole 6 is fantastic. It's a proper low ceiling where an early tree kick can land you with a tough upshot. You have to commit to whatever shot you take (and you can throw over 7's fairway), but a good shot is super rewarding.

Cons:

A lot of holes are just really short and fairly uninteresting. Even a bad shot on some leaves you with a birdie putt. Holes 1, 7, and 9 are the worst, mostly because they are so short, but several others don't have much unique about them, especially if you throw a 200-foot hyzer. Holes 5 and 6 remain as being the only fairly difficult holes on the course.

Navigation is fairly poor. The tees are just a couple of stones in the ground, and are hard to find, even the first tee. There are several baskets in the middle of the field close together, and it can be a little hard to tell where you're throwing. Hole 6 is the toughest of those navigation-wise. And speaking of tees, they look like they could get muddy easily.

Also, several holes play close to one another, and hitting a tree can put you in another fairway, but not actually in a tough spot. This course wasn't meant to have 36 players on it at the same time, but lack of scramble potential is an issue.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great spot for a short course. It has enough trees to be keep things interesting and unique from hole to hole, and offers a lot of safari potential as well. Moving some tees around would be an easy way to spice up the course, but I like the existing tee spots pretty good anyway (some up the hill by the parking lot).

Otherwise, this is a pretty good warmup course, with a decent amount of variety, no lost disc potential, and at least a little reason to try and shot shape your discs.
