Pros: This course provides a great challenge for any level of player, not very beginner friendly but i've been playing it since i started and learning on this tough course makes anyone play better on other courses. Not a very confusing layout, never end up throwing the wrong basket like at some courses. Also there are plenty of people willing to go in for your discs, many wont even charge you.
Cons: Some bad water hazards, a lot of graffiti on the course from local casuals that don't take the game seriously. Also for about a month or two the mosquitoes can get very bad.

Pros: you cannot see any basket except for the one your shooting for because of the trees, and you never have the feeling of which way do we go now, it leads you to the next hole by a path.
Cons: the water on the back 9 is difficult, better bring 5-10$ in hopes of having it fished out lol.
Other Thoughts: Its my favorite course and its great for beginners or pros.

Pros: Great variety. Have to use many different shots. Tough course. Laid out well. Playing tough courses like this are helping me learn the game quickly.
Cons: Rubber Tees, Hidden Water Hazards. Luckily I didn't lose a disc on this course. There are quite a few holes with hidden ponds that could easily be hit on an errant or tree shot. There isn't a good map of the course. It would be great to know where some of those water holes are. There is graffiti and trash on the course.
Other Thoughts: Challenging! Could easily lose a disc in water if you're not straight!

Pros: Wonderfully challenging and appealing course. Many holes present several interesting lines. Frequently found myself thinking about how to attack some of these holes as far as disc choice and shot execution.
-Good use of moderate terrain changes adds a nice dimension and gives the course some character, but no serious hills.
-I prefer concrete, but the rubber tee pads are long enough for most run-ups. Work best when they're not sandy. You might want to roll up the first few feet to gather most of the sand near the middle so it's easy to sweep off with your foot - leaves the front half of the mat nice and clean for sure footed drives.
-Simple but effective tee markers with distance.
-Laid out pretty well for the most part, but tough to follow in spots (5 to 6, 11 to 12, 17 to 18). Paths from basket to next tee were usually obvious due to wear, but having a course map was a big help my first time out. Apparently, there's a short-cut from 17 to 18 that cuts across the fairway of 11 - buzzed one of the locals on my drive. Comes back to the parking lot between the front and back 9.
-Well maintained - didn't see much trash, and baskets were in good shape.
-Table/bench combination near most tee pads so you don't have to rest your bag on the ground (especially nice if the ground is wet).
-Heavily wooded course means plenty of shade on hot summer days, with a couple of long, open holes where you'll want to grab your max distance driver and let loose.
-Maybe they were on vacation or it was just my lucky day, but I didn't find the bugs to be that bad. Gave myself a few good shots of Deep Woods Off before the first tee, and didn't have much of an issue - expected way worse considering it was around 6PM in mid July.
Cons: Too bad they didn't make better use of the water here. The water hazards are truly that - hazards. They really don't add to the look or feel of the course. None of the holes here have you throwing across the water, where you can pretty much tell up front if you can or can't clear the hazard. The holes here work around and along-side the water. Overstable shots that get too high and hyzer way out, or undertstable shots that turnover and don't come back can end up in the drink. Another drawback is that the water isn't always obvious from the tee or fairway. It's often lying 20 ft or so beyond the brush that lines the fairway. Hidden water hazards are nothing more than a graveyard for discs and a breeding ground for mosquitoes. KEEP YOUR SHOTS LOW!
- Brush is pretty thick in many areas. Add that to the water hazards … Risk of Disc Loss: HIGH.
-Lots of low ceilings - not well suited to those who primarily throw overhand.
-Low lying ground holds water and gets pretty muddy in spots, even though it hadn't rained for a few days.
Other Thoughts: I really liked this course and had a lot of fun playing it- plays well, and is quite inviting. Some will say this is just a maze of tightly turning, wooded fairways and tunnel shots, (can't say they're wrong), but most of the holes stand on their own, and the course never felt monotonous or boring.

Those without good control simply won't fair well here. But there's an element of luck here that can even keep players with precision honest. A few holes feature a pinball machine, where shots can bounce offline, and there are several sloped areas where upshots and putts can stand on end and roll away.

Definitely not beginner friendly.

Pros: The course will definitely help you hone your skills, as you will need to be at your best to make it through the fairways unscathed.
Cons: This is a very hard course, with lots of trees, blind water hazards, and tons of mosquitoes! Be prepared to lose a few discs.
Other Thoughts: I've only played this course once, and it was quite a few years ago. The guy I played with lost three discs to bushes and water.

Pros: If you put your disc in the water, harriet the hobbit who walks around with a long disc retriever will go find it for you, throw her a finders fee and be on your way!
Cons: very difficult very frustrating, THIS IS A GOVERNMENT BREEDING GROUND FOR MOSQUITOES AND HORSEFLIES, bug spray will only help a little as the bugs will still swarm you the entire rd.
Other Thoughts: play in spring and fall not the summer. check hole number 5 thats my only ace

Pros: This course is very challenging, with wooded fairways, open hyzers/anhyzers, and water on about half of the holes. The design sends you in 2 loops: front 9 and back 9, which would be great for quick rounds. You need to keep your drives honest, otherwise the woods or water will eat up your bag. One of the more intriguing course layouts and design that I have seen.
Cons: BUGS!!! I cannot stress that enough! We had to leave 3 holes in to go get spray, and they still destroyed us. This took away a lot from this course, due to the distraction and sheer rage they gave me.

This course really needs better mapping. We got lost from 5-6-7 and getting to 12 was way out of the way. It would also be great to know where the water is on most holes, cuz you shoot blind into 'phantom' ponds that swallow discs out of nowhere. Also, the tee pads are rubber mats that are slippery and ripped apart. By about hole 13, I was really done caring.
Other Thoughts: I honestly feel bad giving this course a 2.5, but the mosquitoes and no knowledge of water on some holes really made it the worst disc golf experience I've ever had. My buddy and I liked how everything was set up, but both said it's not worth the drive.

I suppose if you go covered in DEET and have a guide who has played here several times, it would be great playing.

Pros: Nice challenging course --- you must bring your "A" game. Plenty of trees you must hyzer or anhyzer around and plenty of water to lose a disc on. A great course to test your skills.
Cons: Rubber tee mats can be slippery and a few are torn. Extra water hazzards in spring but have dried up in June. BUGS are horrible you must bring spray. Trash cans are on most holes people NEED to use rather than tossing trash on course. Course can get busy in the afternoon or weekends.
Other Thoughts: A great course to test skills. Wish people would respect it and keep it clean. Bring plenty of discs you will lose one the first time you play here.

Pros: This course has some cool unique shots. This course can be challenging at times for a beginner(ie water holes and this foliage).
Cons: Bugs! Course can get muddy if its played within a few days of a rainstorm. I've lost a few discs here and i consider myself a pretty decent player so bring your "A" game. A lot of new people here trash the place with garbage. Can get pretty crowded at times. No concrete tees-only mats that can be slippery.
Other Thoughts: This course if fun to play early/late in the season. You will avoid bugs and thick woods this way. Bring something to drink. There are no concessions. Bug spray is a must. If you see some trash please pick it up. Help out everyone who likes to play a clean course. I would appreciate it!
