An Excellent Gateway Course to the Sport 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 13, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It's come a long way since being installed 10 years ago. Two sets of concrete tees and with signs on each. This course is perfect for the park it's in. It's in a beautiful highly trafficked family park, so to expect a pro-level course would be silly. Short tees have some technical touchy lines that are challenging but accessible for beginners and still fun for experienced players. The long tees offer some surprising challenge and can be punishing if you miss your lines. If you have kids it's a great place to bring the family along with multiple playgrounds and other activities.

Cons:

- Distances on signs are often WAY off. Navigation between a few holes can be tricky. Park can get crowded on nice weekends with tennis by hole 1 & 12, soccer by 5, drone races on 11-15 and family picnics near 17-18.

Other Thoughts:

This has been my home course since I started playing 10 years ago and I still enjoy playing both layouts as an advanced player now. I think it's the best gateway course in our area and I know alot of people who got their start playing disc golf at wingfoot because of the park it's located in and the accessibility of the short tees for newer players. If shorts are too easy try a one disc round with a mid or putter, or play the longs which are continuing to be improved and offer a variety of challenging lines to hit. Seems like most of the haters came from back when the course was new and well... Haters gonna hate, but don't let them scare you away from a fun day of disc golf at wingfoot.

Suffield's Finest 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 6, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

First off, big shoutout to the volunteers who who make this course possible, keep up the great work!

The Hangar is a beautiful course right in the heart of Wingfoot Lake State Park. Lots of beautiful rolling hills and mature trees.

Terrific tee signs and baskets!

Navigation is really easy, there is navigational tape on the bottom of every basket as well as a few signs for additional guidance.

No shortage of fun holes here! I loved holes 4, 6, 8 and 11. The last few holes are fun as well.

Plenty of variety. Good mix of open and wooded holes, with some really fun elevation changes along the way.

Really liked the way the course was laid out. The design takes advantage of every aspect of the park.

Multiple sets of concrete tees. The short tees can be played by just about anyone and still be fun. The long tees make this course I decent challenge, even for advanced players.

Flows really well, both #9 and #18 end at the parking lot.

Nice little kiosk that includes maps, a disc return, and a practice basket with distance markers.

Restrooms can be found to the right of the kiosk.

Plenty of things to do other than disc golf within the park.

Cons:

A few of the holes on the front nine had a few fairways and baskets a little too close together. #7 and #8 pretty much shared fairways.

#14 Long should just be eliminated. It's 50 feet shorter than the short tees, and kind of took out a fun Downhill shot.

A portion of the course is closed Friday-Sunday, as well as holidays. However, I went on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and had no issues with the range. Nobody was using it.

Mosquitos were really bad, make sure you bring your bug spray with you.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, I had a really fun time at The Hangar. The course provided a little something for everybody, and provided a challenge that I wasn't expecting. Come check this place out, seems like they invested in some improvements!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 26, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful park and Scenery
Map and score cards located at the start .
Nice baskets.
Short but challenging holes

Cons:

Mulch Tees .
Tees don't describe the holes
a few holes play to close to one another.
Some really easy holes

Other Thoughts:

Hole 1 ...Not so exciting, Walking path goes right thru the fair way.

Hole 2 Very easy, Short and to the right....I can see alot of Aces here.

Hole 3 plays up hill and to the right, with lingering branches making it tough to get an easy par. Again really short.

Hole 4 ..The shortest i've seen on any 18 hole. 150 ft down hill and slightly left . with tree branches about chest level, Leaving a small window to drive thru...but yet again Ace-able

Hole 5 across an open Feild, tee is at the edge of parking lot.

Hole 6 is sure to claim a lot of discs with a Straight 20ft wide fairway , Lake on the right , woods on the left . Little room for error on this hole!! Back track the fairway to get to hole 7 :(

Hole 7 offers a dogleg right to left to get the hole, or you go for all the marbles and shoot across the water, Not difficult , but will make you think.

As for the rest , they are pretty basic 8,9 work there way back to the start. 10 plays down a narrow path of trees. Things start to open up a bit 11 plays up a steep hill to the right. 14 is probably the only chance you'll get to really rip into a drive.

You will find that a majority of the holes play to the right. Not gonna be able to bomb a whole alot of drives here. You will find challenges in the Major elevation changes and short technical shots.

Me personally, i don't think this is a bad course at all. This park was built years ago on the idea of family ,friends,and fun . This Course fits right in with this park. Alot of the Elite DGer's are probably not gonna care to much for this course based on its difficulty and layout..(As we are already seeing) This course is more for the recreational player , as well as the Beginners.

I think some extra Tee locations would spice it up a little, but not im not complaining.

As far the tee signs are concerned, i only recall 3 or 4 of them being taller than 3ft. So unless your a midget with no common sense, you shouldn't have to worry about hurting yourself.

Furthermore this park is excellent day spot for the family . Hiking, Boating fishing, and if disc golf isn't going your way, try your medal at miniature golf. They even Cornhole setups!! What park does that. Beautiful park, friendly staff, Awesome environment...Take the kids.

****Update***Yeah , i missed the playground its pretty cool
