-A lot of nice looking and fun playing holes here that would make a best in the state list. Personal standouts for me are Hole 5 with its OB framed green and playing Hole 16 Blue right as the sun is setting.
-It's a short hole but it was nice that they fit in a wooded hole (7) on the course. A nice touchy turnover putter shot or low skipping FH under or over a funky bent tree.
-great flow and great pace of play. Even if you have a lot of groups out you get through a round in pretty good time.
-perfect course for the spot disc golf is in right now with the accelerated growth. Holes are long enough for advanced players but beginners are still going to have a lot of fun and not score horribly like they probably do at a greystone.
-drives home the "drive for show putt for dough" if you can make circle's edge outta consistently you are going to score great on this course no matter how far or where your drives land.

-Due to ball golf origins, on most of the holes there isn't any punishment on a bad drive. Hole 9 is a good example where you have a fun choice RHFH through a gap in a tree line or go the Simon route and throw over them. If you miss your line and hit a tree you then have a 100' wide open approach to the pin.
-Ball golf courses usually have three options throw from the tree line out, throw into the tree line and throw along the tree line. Oak Ridge skews more towards throw into the tree line, with most of the pins under mature trees. Makes for some awkward putts and increases risk of poison ivy as the bases of most of the trees have some where the county mowers can't reach.
-Not a "throw every disc in your bag" type course. You can by on most of the holes with a RHBH hyzer line even if it isn't the preferred route.
-course generally flows very well but still a couple of awkward walks (2-3 and 11-12)
-course is still new so some transition with the other park users is still happening so you might have an unknowing person setup a picnic on a fairway because last year it was a fairway

The bones of a championship level course are here. The property is gorgeous, the course team has maintained a great relationship with the county and there is space to do a lot of things to bring the course up to that 5 star level. Putting OB bunkers of high grass on some more open fairways (ala Blue Lake in Oregon), planting trees and shrubs, adding some features (make 11 green play as an island, elevate a basket or two), alternate pin positions are all examples of how you could increase the difficulty a little to really elevate the course into one of the best in NJ.

As it stands you have a fun, fast playing course in an area that was a disc Golf desert. But NJ has so few courses and there was such Herculean effort to get this one approved it would be nice to get it to that Stafford level.

Grateful that this course is here and look forward to watching it evolve over time.
