Pros:

If your travels take you anywhere near central Virginia along I-95, The Blockhouse is a must-play. All three courses are fantastic, including the famous Tiki Course.

Nothing about this course is typical. It's tough to rate it in a traditional way vs. more standard courses. Think putt putt golf vs. regular ball golf. You'll need a putter or two. That's it. Holes are measured in inches, not feet. But one category where the Tiki Course can be measured -- and rates off the charts -- is the fun factor. I had a smile on my face for most of my 20-minute round. Each hole has unique features. Examples: a super high basket, a "clown mouth" entry to a basket, a narrow tunnel, a narrow bridge, etc.

+ Super fun and creative course, well-conceived with wooden barriers protecting some tees and baskets that are close together.

+ Ace runs! Each hole is par 2. This is the best chance you're gonna get to hit an ace -- or a couple aces -- in a round.

+ If I had a course like this in my backyard, I'd practice putting a lot more.

+ FUN

Cons:

Not designed or intended to be a regular course, so it's hard to dock it. It succeeds perfectly for what it is designed to deliver: putting fun! I'll list some negatives simply to give readers an idea of what to expect.

- Not difficult (it's not meant to be)

- Doesn't test any disc golf skills other than circle 2 putting (in weird, zany, fun hole layouts).

Other Thoughts:

The Tiki Course alone isn't reason enough to make the Blockhouse a destination disc golf country club, but when combined with the long, technical, difficult -- and also fun -- Sunnyside and Darkside, the entire disc golf experience here is off the charts. Make plans to go here.
