Fun Little Recreational Course On A Great Piece Of Land! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 11, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

First of all, this parcel of land with it's rolling hills, mature trees, lake, wildlife and lovely green grass is a pretty sweet spot on which to build a disc golf course. The course plays partially around what other reviewers have said was once a hotel. The baskets are Innova models with the yellow band. Some of them have the number on them. All of them have a little wooden, red arrow pointing the way to the next tee box. Thank you to whoever placed these on the baskets. They made navigating the course a breeze. The tee pads are natural and fairly rough and uneven in places. There are patio stones painted white for the longs and red for the short tees. The hole numbers are visible on most of these blocks. The reds are like, beginner easy.

The course is recreational in length/difficulty but has it's charm and challenge as well. There are a number of really fun throws here.
# 3 was just a cool downhill with kind of a natural fairway, problem 280'. A fun ACE run for many plaers.
# 13 was a blind, pretty scary look, over the water, over the marshes, to a basket hidden up behind a tree.
# 15 was a very cool little peek-a boo hole where the top of the basket is just barely visible and it sits near enough to the water as to provide that little extra challenge.
And then the finishing hole, # 18, is a long downhill tee shot, but the basket is then tucked up behing a tree starting up the hill again.

Cons:

My # 1 complaint here would be with the directions and just finding the course. The streets don't seem to be marked. We asked one couple. They were from Norway! We drove around the national park and finally talked to a ranger. She wasn't for sure but pointed us in the right direction. Gees, a small sign or two pointing the way would really help.
Second, the natural pads are pretty bad. They're rough, uneven, too short in places. They could use some work.
Third, the course could really use a course sign at the beginning. Just something letting players know that they found the course and are ready to begin their round.

Other Thoughts:

This part of Canada has a real shortage of courses. So I'm here on a absolutely beautiful July evening and there is only one other group playing this beautiful little course. Come on boys, the ice has all melted! Time to move out to the disc golf courses! Get some sun on those pale white bodies that look like they spent the winter in a flour sack! There's only like 3 courses in the whole Montreal area. This place should be packed with you hosers, EH?
