Just OK 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 17, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Easy access on campus
- Has a few interesting holes

Cons:

- Couldn't play the hole 8 mando properly due to people playing soccer and spectating right in the "fairway" after the mando turns left
- hole 5 tee is ridiculous on the steep tiny hill with a tree right on top of you
- Took a while to figure out where hole 7 tee is after playing 6. It's a long way away and wasn't well marked.

Other Thoughts:

- We played it while campus was not in session and there were still enough people around in this multi-use park to make playing some holes a problem.
- I'm a new player and have only played 3 courses so far (take my rating with a grain of salt)
- I foolishly threw my green Teebird from hole 4 tee and lost it in the drainage ditch during the cross attempt.
- Overall I liked the sister course at Slayter Hill better, but I expect this one will be a little more playable when class is in session.

Could be better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 20, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Requires a variety of shots, and the basket placement is thoughtful.

Cons:

The tee signs are hard to read, because moisture has seeped into them, and the dirt tees aren't good footing, especially on hole 7. Its hard to find the next tee, especially if you are there for your first time, as unlike Slayter, there are no next tee signs under the basket. Hole 6 is ridiculously difficult off of the provided tee. As a beginner, you are practically guaranteed to go either into the creek, where your disc will be gone forever, into the tall grass, where you'll look for 5 min. and maybe find your disc, or into the bushes where you'll have no line to the basket. Hole 2 is boring.

Other Thoughts:

What they need to do to fix hole 6 is two things:
1. Move the tee forward to the left side of the first small tree, between the small tree and the group of trees. That would create a 190ft. par 3.
2. Cut the grass next to the creek where discs are likely to land.
