Short and technical state park course

Reviewed: Played on:May 20, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Classic Discatchers, in fairly good repair. I do appreciate that they do have hole numbers on them.
-Mix of wooded and open holes, almost all have obstructions of some sorts
-Located close to camping area in John Bryan state park. Great hiking if you want to make a day or weekend of it
-Bathrooms and water available in campground
-Parking available close by, but can be limited by the activity at campground
-Well kept grounds

Cons:

-Dirt tee pads
-No tee signs, just a post with the hole number painted on
-Didn't see a course map anywhere
-No indications for next hole location, so udisc was a must, but...
-Very poor cell signal. Almost worth starting a round on your phone before you get there so you can have all the map data loaded when you start your round
-Some of the wooded holes are just directly obstructed, making possible lines limited. This is only really a gripe for those with stronger arms, as a beginner wouldn't have as much of a chance for a run at the basket
-Thick and heavy brush off fairways when in the woods. Can be quite a challenge to find lost discs

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course to have at a state park near a campground to get exposure to families looking for something to do. The biggest change I would make would be to add simple tee signs and "next tee" markers on the baskets to aid navigation. Worth a play if you're at the park already, but I won't be driving from Dayton just to play here. Great for beginners, I'm sure I'll play again soon when we come through John Bryan again.
