Pros: This is my home course and I have played it a 1000 times. At first in the beginning of my disc golf career, I hated this course because the fairways were too tight and course maintenance was poor. I have been playing for 5 years now and I can't get enough of this course because of the technicalities. This course has shaped and molded me into a relatively good disc golfer. You will learn every shot there is to know about disc golf at this course except for open fairway shots. This is a course for all levels, however, players new to the sport and new to this course will have more difficulty scoring a low round due to the tight fairways. As in most of the other reviews of this course it is said that the owner's of this course are extremely cool; they are the coolest most laid back people you will ever meet and if you feel like playing a round on the course on a non business long trout winery day, just call and ask to play...but in all honesty, most of the time they really don't care just as long as you are courteous and respectful of their grounds. NO LITTERING!!! I have recently been maintaing the course but being a one man team takes a long time. Not much seating on the course so bring a chair (I'm working on seating this summer on most holes) All-in-all: even though this course is extrememly difficult it is fun to play. Once you master this course, you can pretty much play anywhere and shoot a great round of disc golf.
Cons: I'm working on minimizing all cons by cleaning up the fairways and providing seating at most of the holes! This course is very rugged and brutal on your ankles so wear appropriate footwear.
Other Thoughts: Be respectful to the owners and their land. DO NOT LITTER!!! There is a trash can in-between Holes #9 and #10 (Use it!)
Long Trout Winery Disc Golf Course has one of 4 known hanging basket shots on the Northeastern Coast. There are actually two hanging baskets in the barn here but the one up top is usually only opened during tournament play but even still come out and shoot one of the coolest ace run shots there is!!!
Give me a chainsaw and I'll give you a par!!!

Pros: After reading the reviews for this course I was expecting far less than what I discovered here. This is 18 holes of swell not hell. The first shot you actually throw off the deck of the winery overlooking the woods and the pond to start your round. Very Unique! Then its an endless challenge of woods that play brutally fair up and down the hillsides and over the pond and streams. All of the holes have lanes to the green but it's up to you to find them and then to execute. A true test of creativity and technical skill. Some of the holes are over 300 feet and tight through these woods so recovery from a bad shot is not always so simple. There are a few short holes but these are usually straight up the hill so they play a bit bigger. Highlights for me were as follows:
- the initial drive off the deck
-#2 a 352 foot hole with several lanes but lots of tree trouble.
- Holes 6 and 15 were steep 300 foot downhill drives through the woods.
-#7 was a clever out of the woods across a field back into the woods anhyzer to an elevated basket.
-#8 was a nice L to R into the woods and sat in front of a streambed.
-#9 shot through a tight lane and then burst into the pond area where the basket was to the rear right corner....don't fade early or come up short here or your swimming with 3-4 foot long koi fish!
-#14 is a particularly challenging 300 foot but tight gauntlet set precariously atop the hillside...it's hard enough to throw so straight but then factor in the doom of rolling down the L slope...brutally tough hole
-#17 the 200 ft barn hole is a blast as you can ace run at full throttle as long as you make the double mando...the barn will block any on target misses so basically its bang into the barn and birdie
-#18 an ace run in shorts with stream running the entire L side and a pond jump to finish if you play the long position.
The other holes play technical but are still fun as long as you hit your line..if not your scrambling, which to me is also fun. These woods are beautiful and they have been maximized with this creative design. Plenty of variety with 4 gleeful downhills, 5 climbing uphills, 4 semi open holes, 14 heavily wooded, 3 stream holes and the pond hole.A multitude of different shots are required to score well here. Bridges, ropes, and trails have been created to help you along. The tees are adequate for the shots required and vary between larger gravel and then wooden decks on the hillsides to create a level surface. Oh did I mention that the course is set on a counter culture themed fantastic winery with really cool people and unique inexpensive wines available to sample and buy.

Cons: Limited hours of operation. The neighbors barricade of a fence along holes 10 and 11 screams at you and kind of briefly spoils the mood. Some tees are smallish for those who require a run up...(most of the longer holes are downhill though so relax) Ferns and boulders do a dandy job of hiding discs. If you are a newer player, someone who cannot control their throws, or insist on throwing high speed drivers you will not enjoy this course. This course rewards those with a delicate and more refined game. Grip it and rip it types will enjoy themselves more elsewhere. I do agree that perhaps an occasional low hanging limb or small tree might get in the way of some shots...but I would hate to see too much of the technical flavor destroyed here.Tough walking on the terrain as its often up and down over rocks.
Other Thoughts: Bottom line is this is a fine technical course that happens to be set on the grounds of a truly unique and fun winery. How anyone could not have fun here is a mystery to me. When considering the ogres who complain about how this place isn't any fun the word "WHINERY" kept popping in my head. There are far tighter and unfair woods than this magnificent little paradise.

Pros: Also home to a Winery with good, cheap wine.
Often has bands so you can enjoy some great music while playing.
Nice variety on length/elevation, although most holes are heavily wooded
Nice pond (with monster Koi) that some holes play around

Cons: Woods Woods Woods. If you enjoy open holes, or ripping your driver, big run ups, and open air, this course is not for you.
The neighbors of this property set up cameras and "no tresspassing signs" and will prosecute people that stray onto their land, even if it's to retrieve a stray disc.
The gravel tees are a little small, although you usually don't need much of a run up.
Some of the tees are not safe.
Only open during certain hours:Wed. 6 PM - 9 PM, Sat. 1 PM - 7 PM, Sun. 11 AM - 5 PM.

Other Thoughts: This is a great course to have a good time at. Bring the wife for some wine, and play a round or two in the woods. This course is heavily wooded, which will be very challenging for your mid range game. Accuracy is much more important than distance, and this course is also a great place to beat in your discs. If you see the owner I'm sure he'd love to shoot with you.

Pros: Very technical course with great signage and variety.. Free wine tasting before you tee off the owner's back porch.. great environment to play in, probably the most relaxed I've been playing dg.. nice baskets and course seems to be pretty well maintained
Cons: TONS of trees.. small tee boxes and the neighbors suck
Other Thoughts: the hanging basket on hole #17 has a surprise if you play with the "locals".. the owners can open the upstairs of the barn to play an additional basket that is hanging in the upstairs loft

Pros: The fine people at Long Trout Winery are living the dream, owning their own winery and their own disc golf course on the property to boot. Long Trout's course offers just about every shot type you could want, with the exception of open holes that is. Lefts, rights, straight-aways, big uphills, down hills. The landscape also has its variety, though mostly wooded, holes play through small boulder fields, creeks and around a small pond with some of the biggest koi I've ever seen. Hole lengths vary from 150ish (on steep uphills) to 375ish (on flat or down hill shots) so if you can keep to the narrow fairways you'll have a number of birdies here. Doing so requires a number different shots, I even found myself throwing a baseball drive on a couple of holes. The hanging basket shot is real cool, and what could have been the most open shot on the course is turned into a tunnel shot right up the middle by a couple of mandos. The basket hangs from a barn which makes a nice backstop. All and all you have to be ridiculously accurate on this course, possibly the most heavily wooded I've played. All tee signs are nice and informative, and finding the next hole has never an issue.
Along with the course comes the awesome atmosphere of the winery, the very cool owners, and of course, the delicious wines.

Cons: As stated this is one of the most heavily wooded courses I've ever played. On about a third of the holes the fairway is nonexistent and requires luck more than anything to reach the basket. As such your drives will be very frustrating or very rewarding. I felt at times the fairways could use a little clearing. The gravel tee pads are small and could certainly use a leveling out, though I'm not sure they need much size increase. With the accuracy required on the drives I was never doing a big run up. The elevated wooden plank tees that are found on very uneven ground could be scary. No room for big run ups on these, but again they aren't very necessary. Overall the biggest con here is how heavy the trees are. A nice shot 1/3 of the way to the basket can be suddenly redirected 75 feet of course leaving you fighting to keep a bogey. And it can be like that on most holes.
Other Thoughts: Twice now I've gone on birthday camping trips with friends, played multiple rounds here, let the wine flow and we all had a blast. The course could use son fine tuning. The owners are great, played once with him. And the wine is amazing. I recommend the Daytripper.

Pros: Owners are really cool. Nice condition of baskets. Hanging basket in barn is really really cool. Koi pond is nice too. Signage makes it easy to find next tee withouth a map.
Cons: No variety. Par 3 every hole. Longest one is just over 300 ft, pretty much the same on every hole. Tee boxes way too small, I can only take 3 steps or so. TOO many trees, way too thick on almost all holes. Neighbors that own adjoining property are anal and will prosecute you if you wander on their property or retrieve a wayward disc. Hard to see most of the baskets from the tee box. Terrain is difficult. Not a course for beginners. Water hazard does not allow retrieval of disc b/c water too cloudy.
Other Thoughts: My two biggest gripes were that the wooded holes (almost all of them) are way too thick and tee boxes way too small. Plus no variety, par 3 throughout , no distance either 300 ft is the norm for all holes. Not a course to take a beginner to. I would be lying if I said I was not disappointed in the course. Neighbors are also asinine. They will prosecute you for wandering on their property or attempting to retrieve your disc, cameras everywhere in the trees , pretty ridiculous. I wish they would have skipped the wooden tee boxes and cleared some more trees. Course is less than average. IF it wasnt for the cool people, the winery and the hanging barn basket shot, this woulb be ranked really poor. Too bad.

Pros: Very challenging, narrow fairways. Free wine samples: the biggest pro of all. Huge elevation changes in tight woods. #9 is a lovely hole that has water along one side. #18 seems to have an alternate pin using the water as well. Well-marked.
Cons: Missing a certain something for me. Too many holes seem the same: Up the hill through a gauntlet, down the hill through a gauntlet, along the hill through a gauntlet. No benches, no free water to drink. Very limited hours.
Other Thoughts: Be forewarned: This is NOT a beginner's course. Especially in 98 degree heat like when I played! If you see distances on the scorecard like 180 feet, that's because it's straight up a hill through a maze of trees.

Pros: Lots of elevation. Very well defined fairways and directions to the next tee. Custom bridges over the casual streams throughout the land. Oh yea...Long Trout owners/family are awesome people!!
Cons: Custom teepads are short and made of wood...no anti-grip hardware. Off-fairway trees could use some grooming. Terrain is very brutal on your ankles. Ankle support is beneficial.
Other Thoughts: This was my second time playing the course.
