This course is well worth the price of admission ($5) I play them all and don't aways look up the reviews or description of courses. I had no idea I was heading here to play a championship level course.

I was not all that happy about the location of hole 1, I was worried the full course was going to be all over the place, but after hole 1, the course flow was decent enough and mostly easy to follow.

There are several holes that you can't see the basket from the tee. Some like hole 7 are on the next hill over, though the woods. Another hole has you throwing from one hill and over the next hill way over 1000ft. Needless to say, I took a 6 on hole 7 and was very happy with my 5 on the 1000ft hole.

There is a 9 hole ball golf course here that is maintained with better mowing. It has old school hard sand greens. But it did not look like it gets used much, and the check in log only had disc golfers listed that I could see.

This is a course that you really need to play once before you attempt to shoot well on it. So many holes are true par 4's and even a couple of par 5's for most of us. Although I would like to see a Simon throw a giant anti at hole 7 over the woods.

Would I play here again? Oh yea. while mostly open, this course is VERY challenging and not because it has some long holes. Disc placement is very important.

First off, there's detailed tee signs, concrete tees, Dynamic Veteran baskets, and flags on the baskets (some holes would be blind, but the flags stick up above the trees so that you know where the basket's at).

There's a great variety of holes, ranging from a 200 ft tunnel shot to an 1,100 ft par 5 on this (true) par 63, 8,500 ft course. There's a nice mix of par 4's and par 5's. Those plus even some of the par 3's force you to actually play golf and focus on landing in a good spot to set up your next shot (as opposed to being birdie or die like so many other courses).

There's a lot of elevation changes. Hole 16 for example is a par 4 with a huge downhill shot followed up by throwing back up the hill to the left.

There's every type of shot conceivable. Wide open bomber, shots around large mature trees, uphill, downhill, tunnel shots, downhill then through a tunnel of trees then back uphill again. Hole 13 requires you to clear a stone wall 300 ft from the tee before your second shot is into a technical, downward-sloped green, holes where going over the top is a really good strategy. To score well here, you have to throw far, but you still have to place your shots carefully, too.

This course is in a state park, so you will need a $5 parking pass.

The tees are a little bit short. I don't have a super long run-up, but I found myself starting a couple steps behind the concrete pad on most holes.

A lot of the trees are cedar trees, so you could find yourself looking for discs. There were paths mowed through the grass which definitely made navigation pretty good, but it makes me wonder if mowing may not be super regular during the summer.

On some of the par 4's and par 5's, just by nature of their length, you can't see the basket from the tee, but it's usually fairly evident where you need to throw to start the hole.

You have to cross a park road in-between holes twice.

I did notice some poison ivy in spots.

This was the 71st course that I've played, and I would say that here and Branson Trails (blue) are the two best I've seen so far with Branson Cedars Treehouz and Longview DGC not too terribly far behind.

It is 100% worth the $5 parking pass and going a little out of your way (it's probably 30-45 min North of I-70) to play here. That being said, I would think twice if it's super, super windy or if you're out of shape or have health problems because the length and elevation changes make it a good hike.

I played here during some free time at the start of finals week, and I really enjoyed playing here. Next school year, I will definitely make the drive up here every once in a while instead of playing at Fairmont, Warner, or Tuttle (doesn't hurt that it's nowhere near as busy up here).

This course has a great mix of shots! I am a RHBH player and UP makes me throw a lot of hyzers as well as alot of anhyzers. If I could throw rollers I would have to do this as well. The course is very long which allows you to be able to go and crush your drives! Bring your A game to this course!

No pads or signs as of yet. But with a map it is very easy to follow. This course makes me feel out of shape haha.
