-Installed tee pads are turf over wood
-Good use of available space
-Variety of open and wooded holes
-Plenty of parking
-Elevation was used effectively for a couple of the open holes.
-2 tee pads for most holes

-Tee signs are just the number of the hole, no information regarding distance, shape, or par
-No marking for next tee
-Some of the wooded holes seem to follow a hiking trail. I'm all for technical shots, but the lane can often be just about 10 feet wide and reversing directions multiple times. These holes require a lot of blind luck especially since the tee signs don't offer any help regarding what you need to play
-I couldn't find bathrooms or water, but I'm also not familiar with the Wright State campus

This is a course with a lot of potential. My biggest complaints come from it being a course that I think was opened before it was ready. Once the fairways are opened and there are functional tee signs, this course will be MUCH more enjoyable. Until then, you'll need Udisc to find your way and practice your disc hunting skills. I'll play again, but I'll give them some time to get a few of their kinks worked out first.

-Update 8/12/22: all tee pads are now installed, but tee signs and fairways remain unchanged.

Tucked behind Wright State University , a brand new 18 hole course was formed . The parking lot holds a decent amount of cars . I did not see a bathroom while here .
THE EQUIPMENT -- The college must have opened up the budget a bit on this . 14 of the tee pads have 5' X 9' spacious level turf . The 4 holes in the woods are natural so far , but it's a brand new course . The tee signs are metal , about the size of a No Parking sign .It displays just a large hole number and the Wright State University Logo . The new white banded Prodigy baskets catch well . There is a practice basket up by the parking lot .
THE LANDSCAPE -- The course was mowed and branches manicured when I played . There is even a light mowed path between baskets , the next tee , and following to the basket again .There is some surprising elevation on this course . #2 is a top of the world type shot down to a level part of the course and the basket on the right . I guess part of the green was marked by yellow markers . after 2 , you walk behind and onto a path for 4 woods holes . The fairways are actual on paths The walk from 3-4 is confusing ( more in cons ) . 7 & 8 are semi wooded and 9-18 play park-style . There are enough trees to force some shot shaping in spots . the course rolls most of the time , with a steep uphill drive on 15 . and a fighting uphill drive into some light woods on 17 .
THE HIGHLIGHTS -- Not epic holes , but some solid ones . #1 basket placement on the right , downhill and behind the last set of bushes set the tone . It's short but technical for a fairway that's wide open on the left and middle .
#2 is a top of the world 337' drive over large bushes to the fairway on the right . A brush line is on the right of the green . #3 is a nice woods hole ( 353' ) . The fairway follows a tight path , eventually turning slowly left .
#7 is a 358' hole that climbs a hill left to a basket perched on the right . The fairway is more than fair , but a misstep puts you in heavy brush on either side .
#8 ( 341' )will break downhill midway , to a dogleg right , to a basket and green protected by thick brush if you thought about taking a shortcut to the basket .
#10 ( 552' ) travels between a few fairway trees , over a small hill , and down to the basket , which , for the final 120' has large tree lines on both sides .
#15 is only 243' but straight uphill and the fairway slopes to the right .
SIGNATURE HOLE -- #17 . The fence line on the right all the way to the hole forces you to throw uphill into a small woodsy area . The scorecard said it was only 256' , but I thought it was longer . The basket is protected in the front of and along the sides of the whole green . The green affords just small openings in the front and on a part of the left , to allow you to get close enough for a realistic putt .
DISC RISK -- I played the course at the end of December , so I could spot my discs right away . It may be closer to medium when the overgrowth fill in on parts of the course . Not sure .
THE TIME -- It took me almost 2 hours to play the course , but mostly because I was lost for almost 30 minutes in the woods and had a wrong turn after 2 . It should take someone maybe and hour and 20 minutes solo , and a foursome 2 hours to play the course .
There is a nice CHILL ZONE on the hill , overlooking the practice basket . A shelter with several picnic tables in it .
This course is solid in most every aspect of the game , and will empty a lot of your bag .

Equipment -- The course is brand new , so it gets a pass on a lot , but Next Tee signs are a must here . I had to turn a guy around after he played #2 because he was following the course straight , Only Because I Did The Same Thing 11 Holes Ago . There are a bunch of walking paths in a good sized amount of woods . After playing #3 , remember to take a left at the first fork , go uphill , and take a right , still going uphill . I was lost for a while going from path to path . The tee signs for 3-6 are set on trees and the tees are natural and can be muddy .
The rest of the cons might be picky for a new course .
SOGGY -- There is some elevation , and the woods holes , plus some of the later holes can hold some wet and slippery spots . Course designers have done a pretty good job of surrounding the pads with wood chips , and laying down some gravel on the most extreme parts of the course .
While this college course brags some length ( 6311' ) a few of the holes were straight with no obstacles . #s 12-16 come to mind . I'm sure in time that some items can be planted to help this .
#s 6 & 11 ? Worth mentioning , #6 is your last woods hole and more of a poke and pray downhill 216' shot . #11 has plenty of length at 403' but has 2 giant transformer towers in the fairway with some growth under each . This will make for some interesting 2nd shots on a windy day .
For such a nice course , I was hoping the tee signs were more descriptive , maybe a kiosk with a course map near hole 1 , and a few benches . It's a new course and still worth a high score for a college course .
Would wish listing some alternate tee pads be too over-the-top ?

For a brand new course , it seems to get a lot of play . I noticed no fewer than 20 people out here on the day after Christmas . I'm not sure any of them were even Wright State students . John Cox did a fine job of course design . Most college course don't reach over 5000' . This one featuring woods and bomber holes . And it's only 10 minutes away from the famous and ultra competitive Handyman course . The course ranks high for a college course . Thanks , Wright State for allowing me to play your course . There is enough potential here to host a tournament sometime soon .
I have played many college courses throughout the years , and I only hope that the students here take advantage of this opportunity . I have always said that a good college course can reintroduce the college to the community , and provide free advertisement to locals and out of towners who can sample the grounds of Wright State .
MY RECOMMENDATION -- Almost a must for the students here to take advantage of an extra curricular activity in the back of its campus . Even maybe challenging another college to a friendly round . Newbies or nearby families might want to play an easier nearby course than here . This is a great addition for the locals living on the east side of Dayton . Intermediates and Ams will find plenty here to keep them interested . Local pros can even work on their game a little here . Not too far off the I-675 , and close to Wright Patterson Air Force Base and Museum , this is a great stop-off for travelers looking for interesting fun courses . Course collectors will spend some time here , but they can pick up a fast 9 from the Wright Field 9 hole ( .3 ) and can grab a quality course like Handy Man a short drive away .
PLAY THIS COURSE !!!

Brand new course. Thought the course had a nice variety of up and down rolling hills and made nice use of elevation changes.

Some very tight and challenging woods shots from #3 - #6 will make for some fun challenging lines - probably even harder during spring/summer with more brush.

Some wide open bomber holes and no water on course which is nice

Most holes of the ones not in woods I would say mostly doable in 3 except for possibly #17 given all the trees. Having said that though #17 I think is a favorate cause of the left to right line needed and to score one has to push deep thru several sets of trees toward pin which is guarded by trees. Roller shots may be the play here off tee for some.

Thought course made good use of the changes in elevation w #2 being a downhill shot not super far.

Very nice brand new baskets.

Grass cut along the fairway and toward next tee from previous baskets made it easy to find next hole - just remember to go up to left after #3 to get to #4.

Wind could be a factor on some days on the wide open holes.

Its wonderful to have yet another course to choose from and this one played in about 2 hrs.

Will be nice when the distances are marked as sometimes the up and down rolling hills made distance disceiving.

Having grass tee box is certainly different but doable - just be careful of footing. All tee boxes except holes 3-6 in woods have the artificial turf/fake grass box. And others have 4 corners of a future tee box based on some dirt laid amoungst the leaves/grass.

The paths in the woods for #4, #5, #6 definitely could use some more work but these will get beat in nicely with more people playing it.

Practice basket next to parking lot is great.

Each green has some wood chips and grass cut out and most greens are pretty flat except for #16 and one other one which was sloped

if one needs to play less than 18 at this course they could after coming out of woods on #6 skip #7 - #12 and head to left and then either right to #13 or left to #14 if needed. Otherwise course plays out and back.

Note beware incoming discs coming over hill going long of #18 if warming up by practice basket.

Thanks so much for those who worked to put it in and for those who designed it.
