 An interesting mix

Pros: The course plays through a multi use park, but doesn't conflict with other park activities. There is a nice mix of open rolling field shots and some tightly wooded holes. There is a steep drop into the woods, and a couple holes play up and down the hill, and others bring it in to play as a possible hazard, making for some fun and interesting shots. There is some length on a couple of the open holes, and the wooded holes will make you hit tight lines with brushy rough waiting to punish an errant shot.

There is a nice course map at the beginning of the course, and the flow of the course is good with no navigation issues. There are decent concrete pads and tee signs for every hole, and the discatchers are in good shape.
Cons: The open holes are wide open, and get a little boring and repetitive. The wooded holes are nice and technical, but all are short so they don't end up being all that challenging. The short downhill hole is fun, but a longer shot down the hill would be a nice complementary hole and add a little to the fun factor.

It's quite brushy and wet down in the woods, making for a pretty buggy and possibly mucky round. It ends up being a pretty easy course overall, with lots of birdie opportunities, and not too many holes that really threaten a bogey unless you screw up multiple times. A little more challenge and more tough wooded holes instead of all the field holes would add some variety and challenge.
Other Thoughts: This is a decent warm up course for nearby Holler in the Hills or on your way south to Bowling Green, but isn't worth a long drive by itself. There are some fun holes, but too many wide open shots and not enough challenge to make it a must play. Beginners will enjoy the mix of wooded and open shots, and won't find too much length. More experienced players will be able to score well here with only a mid and putter, and won't really be tested.

Pros: This course is a weird one. There are the standard hyzer/anhyzer shots in a field, but it gets ineteresting when you get into the woods. Highlight of the course are the extreme elevation shots. One hole plays 40 feet forward and 100 feet downhill, you can literally throw a jump putt from the teepad and let the disc drift down. Alternatively, there is another shot that goes back up the cliff which requires a thumber, tomahawk or a crazy roller shot. Most of the holes on this course are short, with a lot of birdies to be had.
Cons: Not challenging enough. Not really worth playing this one if you are visiting the Bowling Green area since there are so many other great courses around.
Other Thoughts: Overall the course feels like it was kind of haphazardly put together, although there are some interesting holes.

Pros: Excellent holes around bluffs. Variety of shots needed.
Cons: Open Holes rather boring. Can see 2 or 3 baskets from some tee pads, we had to check the map a few times to know where to throw.
Other Thoughts: I'm really glad I played this course in winter. Extra foliage would have stopped my disc many times.
