At first, I thought this course derived its name from the slightly hilly terrain. Upon further consideration, The Hill probably refers to Orchard Hill, a speck of a town that's little more than the Dollar General store several hundred yards away.

Leave your drivers at home! The Hill is an excellent course for introducing an absolute novice to disc golf. The course provides the opportunity to experience the joys and the frustrations of disc golf. While quite wooded, four of the nine holes are less than 120 feet. However, the childlike distances do not guarantee a nine-under-par round for more experienced players. In fact, the two longest holes are 219 and 246 feet and with their tight wooded lines, those holes would fit right in on a normal-sized disc golf course.

The teepads are mixed; several are packed gravel inside of wood planks. Other holes are marked with white lines on the paved walking trail through the park.

Though in a small area, the course is designed well enough as to not interfere with adjacent holes.

For solo disc golfers, this is a very quick play. Figure 10 to 15 minutes for a nine-hole round, especially if you carry just a putter and mid-range. The course is not difficult to navigate, though you might need to search for a couple of the painted sidewalk tees during an initial round.

A couple holes are on lower-lying ground and have the potential to get muddy.

Hole #3 is a bit weird. It is only 81 feet, and there is a basket-high wooden wall about 15 feet in front of the basket.

There are many trees at The Hill. Inexperienced players might get frustrated at how often they strike timber.

The Hill is an ideal family course. The lovely park includes five pavilions, restrooms and two playgrounds. While The Hill might not be a destination spot, this neat little course is perfect for its intended audience. When compared to other courses I have played designed for a younger population, The Hill is considerably better.
