Pros:

There's a new-ish high school campus just south of Oxford where they've re-used a dozen or so baskets (the lst one is a rusty old Mach (one?) around the perimeter, using the cross-country trail, the edges of the sports fields and the brush lines to create 'fairways' to throw a loop (for gym class?).

Cons:

But there are no tees or signage to indicate where the 'design' intended you to throw, such that the best scenario is to keep traversing the loop until you see a basket that's at a distance which feels like a disc golf hole, and you throw. Since some of the baskets might be as much as 1000' apart from each other, with seasonal tall grass rough off the 20' wide trail, I can't imagine throwing the entire distance from basket to basket as being any fun at all.

There is no use (or availability) of trees or shrubs to define a line of flight, and there is no elevation whatsoever, so this layout borders on merely being a 'practice area' as much as a real course. I would say kudos for trying to introduce teens to the sport, but I can't see many of them 'catching the bug' for disc golf here. Hopefully they'll go over the Miami U campus course or on over to Hueston Woods (Disctractions) if they have a glimmering of interest

Other Thoughts:

I played here on a late December afternoon, and found the campus abandoned, but it looked like the cross country trail might actually run in a flow opposite the numbered sequence of baskets, so mutual use is unlikely…
