LeVar Green 
Pros:
Multiple concrete tee locations for most holes. Same site as the 18-hole, more densely-wooded Orange Crush course.

Cons:
Steep walk from #15 to #16 - treacherous when wet. Broad walking path used by many non-players comes near flightpaths on some holes.

Other Thoughts:
Plays in a counter-clockwise direction, mostly around, sometimes on top, of the large hill that forms this public park just a couple minutes off of I79. The hardwood trees scattered across the hill are very tall, so their trunks, vice their branches, are what will typically come into play. Primarily plays flat/across gentle portions of the slope, with some downhill shots, only one significantly so.
No long tee for #3 and #5. No short tee for #12. The long tee for #14 is not concrete, but was simple enough to locate. Tee signs, for the most part, are near the short tee locations, and indicate where the long tee is located.
Favourite hole: #13. Slightly down-slope, subtle left-turner - put it through the Y-shaped gap of the large tree about half between the tee and basket (field goal!), and you might park it.
Least favourite hole: #17. Steep, tree-filled slope to your left, long-n-high tennis court (defunct) fence to your right, requiring one very long, very straight drive - with a tree at the end of it, and the basket farther along and to the right,
Good course with decent length, mixture of mostly-to-moderately open/flat-to-downslope, slightly left-turning biased.

Report this Review Mountain Goat 
Pros: Excellent course that forces you to forehand, backhand, hammer, roll, and any other throw you can think of to get a great score. The course had a good variety of let-it-rip holes and tight precision holes. Several of the holes are rather intimidating like #8 and #9. #8 is only 231ft, but it is the steepest uphill shot I have ever had to make. Hole 9 is just as steep, but it is downhill. The slightest mistake will have your disc sailing OB.
Cons: They were out of score cards when I went, so I did not have access to a map. It was very easy to get lost between a few holes. I luckily found a scorecard that had fallen out of someone's bag. The map makes it some easier.
Other Thoughts: It is WV, so you feel like a mountain goat while traversing the course. Be prepared to be worn out at the end of your round. Make sure you have good shoes.
The locals obviously care about their course and maintain it well.

my adopted home 
Pros: Very nice tees, baskets, and signage. The course is layed out in a very logical way, almost no chance to get lost. Given the fact that the park is nearly flat (especially by WV standards) good use of limited elevation. Other park facilities available are a big plus for me. Bathrooms and water available except in winter. Everyone I have ever talked to at the course has been very nice and have had discs returned that I left behind.
Cons: Lack of variety as stated by others several holes feel vary similar in type of shot required and total length of hole. No par 4s or par 5s. Somewhat RHBH favored (good for me but no fair for all). At least for me many holes I can make my 3 and move on regardless of my tee shot and really have no chance to make the 2. Would prefer more scoring variance per hole. The holes have 2 pin positions but it doesn't seem like the local club moves them very often.
Other Thoughts: This course can be summarized as a fairly open course with lots of OB from park roads providing the challenge. As mentioned by others, the park has another 18 hole course that make for a great but exhausting day of disc golf. If you are in the area you owe it to yourself to give this course a try.

Hate #17... but that's my own fault! 
Pros: Course is in a nice park with other activities available (playgrounds, walking paths, run-down tennis and basketball courts). Seth Burton is on the same site as 18 more holes at Orange Crush.
Nice concrete tee pads and signage. When using the course map, just try to use it to tell you which side of the road the tees are on and walk counter clockwise around the big hill to your left. Otherwise, the map can be a bit confusing.
A nice variety of shot-making skills is required to score well here. The length alone isn't short, but it isn't overwhelming either. Most every hole presents many obstacles (trees mainly) preventing a direct path to the pin. You have to be confident with both hyzer and anhyzer shots. "Trick" shots shouldn't normally be needed unless you find yourself well off of the nicely groomed fairways. There are a few holes that present serious roll-away possibilities on hard landing approaches so you have to haave nice touch around the greens. The course presents a nice cardio workout as you're constantly moving up and down over the rolling hills of the course.

Cons: The course basically runs counter clockwise around a big hill. So several of the holes do play similar to others on the course. About half of the holes tilt down from left to right. This is just nit-picking, though.
Other Thoughts: This is a really fun course to play. My title about hating #17 is really tongue in cheek. The hole kicked my butt all three times I played it. It's a "tunnel" shot of about 250' between a tennis court fence to the right and a severe dropoff into the woods on the left. The hole just spooked me each time I played it and the fence ate up my drives each time. I look forward to getting some payback on that hole next Summer. The highlight of my rounds was on #12, a 515' foot hole between the woods on the right and OB road on the left. It rolls over a couple nice knolls. At the time I played it, my drives were limited to about 250' So when I cranked out a 250' drive I was happy. But when I parked my 265' approach within 3' of the basket for an easy 3 (Pro PAR) I was thrilled.
If you're travelling up I79 through West Virginia, definitely check it out. If you're near Morgantown, WV (WVU), definitely check it out. If you're within 100 miles or so, definitely check it out. You shouldn't be disappointed.

Pros: Hole Variety/Course Layout--
Slight elevation is used on almost every hole (A couple holes with very good elevation change). Alot of the time the holes play on the side of the parks main hill. The course for the most part follows a walking trail in a circle around the park (The walking path gets in the way sometimes and you have to wait for people to pass before you throw).
Course Atmosphere--
Nice park on top of a huge hill. Theres alot of old stairways, bridges and random brick structures. You can even see the original cobelstone road under the concrete on parts of the road leading up to the park. You feel like your playing in an old pilgrim park or something.
Course Maintenance--
Good, I didnt see vandalism anywhere and it was always clean. Also baskets and signs were in good shape. There are concrete tee pads on every hole.

Cons: Course Navigation--
Theres a clear sign how to get to hole #1 and maps are available. The map isnt the best though, it can even confuse you worse at times.

Other Thoughts: Hazards--
Water on a couple holes, although it would be hard to lose a disc it is still very possible.
Traffic--
We saw only one group of golfers but theres alot of people who walk the circle path in the park.
--There are no "B baskets" like it says on the signs and map. Theres only one basket per hole. Also unlike most of the pictures, the signs have been moved off the tees
--Besides the course itself, "Morris Park" is a nice park with a basketball court, tennis courts, playgrounds, and nice walking paths, with some cool views from hill tops.
--The entrance to the park is very easy to miss. Coming from both directions there are little browns signs that say next left/right. And the signs are not lying, you literally want to take the next turn. Its a steep uphill road with brick pillars on both sides. We missed it the first time because it looked like the entrance to a cemetery.

A great place to play 
Pros: Great mix of holes that will challenge your accuracy. 2 sets of tees and pins allow all levels of players an enjoyable time at this course. Another great Johnny Sias designed course. The Orange Crush course is in the same park as this course, which makes for a great day of disc golf. One of my favorite places to play. Cool old park with giant trees and neat stonework and other cool features.
Cons: The whole course slopes to the right. OB road on every hole (not a con, but it's there)
Other Thoughts: If you are ever driving on I-79 through West Virginia, you should most definitely stop and play the 2 courses in this park. You will not regret it. The Seth Burton Course is one of the most enjoyable places to play disc golf that I know of. The locals are cool people too, so check out their webpage and try to play in their league or events.

A Diamond in The Rough! 
Pros: Designed by Johnny Sias and Ken Rollins - this course has it all! Long and short concrete tee pads, multiple basket placements, uphill and downhill shots and open and closed fairways. #12 is aptly nicknamed "The Green Monster." Lots of parking, restrooms and a nice walking trail surrounding the course/park with playgrounds for the non-DGolfer.
Cons: I cannot find anything wrong with this course!
Other Thoughts: this course links with Orange crush so you can play "mixed rounds" consisting of Front 9 of Orange Crush > back 9 of SBMDGC or Front 9 of SBMDGC > back 9 of Orange Crush - Thanks Johnny for the linking idea!!
