Ouch 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 7, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Concrete Tees
Beautiful Tee Signs
Very nice steps on several holes, put in for Disc golf

Holes 1, 6, 12, and 18 are ok holes. But on any other course they'd be filler holes.

Cons:

DESIGN - it's almost unbelievable how bad it is. There are 7 holes that make a sharp turn about 50 feet off the tee, on an unthrowable line with trees, limbs, and fallen branches all in the fairway. All of these holes would be the worst hole on any other course in the area. I almost feel like the distance and angles would make sense if this were a course to be played with MINI (marker) discs.There is NO WAY this is really a John David Design. I heard from a reliable source that almost none of his input was used in the final layout.

The baskets are all the WRONG height. That is totally unacceptable for a course in a populated disc golf area, with a club, county, and city involved. It just says, "we don't care enough to get it right."

Even the hole names (on the tee signs) indicate it's a bad course. Calling a hole that floods "Wet feet", a hole with no fairway "Pachinko Forrest", and a 150ft hole "Fairway to Heaven" just screams INVALID.

There are literally 3 parking spaces by hole 1. Most likely you'll have to park in front of hole 12, which is nice because you'll probably miss it during your round. Hole 11 finishes very close to 13s tee. Hole 12 is off to the right, and after you play it, you have to backtrack behind 12s tee to get back to 13.

The biggest con is that it's going to get a lot of play, and won't make anyone better. This is not a beginner course. They could have made a really fun, easy, beginner course on this property (like the Tiki Course at the Blockhouse DG and Country Club. All par 2s but a fun factor 10!)

Holes 2,7,10,11,16,17 are worse than any other holes I've ever played.

Other Thoughts:

Of all the courses I've played across the country over the last dozen years, this course has the worst design that I can remember. There are so many good resources in this area to help with course design. But instead, whoever had control of this project completely failed the city, county, state, and all of it's disc golfers.

I played with 2 friends who are beginners and they hated it too. The course dominated them, bc the lines are unreasonable. I shot a 45 but it still wasn't much fun. The course just doesn't make sense.
