Nice course for upshot practice & beginners!

Played on:Jul 16, 2022
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Great course for beginners with low probability of losing discs (as long as you're careful on the few holes that border the edge of the field).
Doesn't get a lot of traffic, so perfect to sneak in a quick round.
Nice, new Lat64 baskets.
Course is still developing and new features being added.

Cons:
Teepads are gravel, pretty small & slightly elevated. Luckily, the holes (in general) aren't very long, so it's less of an issue.
Udisc has the course location correct, but you will need to park at the Greenway parking lot ~1/4 mile West and walk the Greenway to the entrance to the course.
No signage or other course amenities (water, bathroom, etc.) (You'll need Udisc to find your way around.)
Very little shade.

Other Thoughts:
I'm not sure if this is a DIY course or not, but it definitely has that feel. I wouldn't call it a destination course, but it's great for practice and beginners.
The holes are all in a flat, open field with typically only one or two trees as obstacles, or one side bordered by thick rough. However, it does make good use of low ceilings (both in the fairway and near the baskets) and wind can definitely be an issue.
The woods that border the course are thick. You'll want to avoid that on those holes that run parallel to the edges of the field. Other than that, not much worry of losing a disc.
The teepads are small, constructed of 4x4 wood frames with a pea gravel surface, and slightly elevated. Luckily, most of the holes are pretty short, so lack of run up and the loose surface is manageable. The teepads are a new addition, so I'm hopeful that more features (like signage) are in the future.
As long as you're prepared (because you're going to be away from your car with no access to water or bathrooms), have Udisc running, and take the course for what it is (a practice course), you're likely to have a good time. And because it doesn't get a lot of play, you can generally knock out a round as quick as you care to move.
