On The Verge of Greatness 
Pros: There is not likely a more challenging course in the Mid-Atlantic region nor East Coast. The challenge is only exceeded by the variety of holes; water, hills, cliffs, woods, wide open bombs, this course (even with only 14 holes) has it all.
Cons: Tee pads need work to be leveled and have run-up space. Level smooth paths need to be created through the holes with rocks/bolders carpetting the fairways. The course caters mainly to Expert golfers, distances are pretty tough on beginners with no alternate tees provided. 4 more holes are needed to make the course 18 holes.
Other Thoughts: Beautiful woods, fields, hills, streams and lakes make this a great disc golf walk. The bigness of the course is nearly overwhelming the first time you play it, but for disc golfers with a bent towards playing courses with "Real" pars that vary beyond 2s or 3s, this is the Mecca. Playing this course and either Little Lehigh Valley or Tinicum is a great day of disc golf.

Pros: 18 of the toughest holes I've ever played! Tee pads, rubber, are in excellent shape and absorb rainfall well. Baskets are in nice shape as well. Many holes marked with orange flags for sight as well, adding additonal help. Fairways are well defined, and with spring here, bad drives are punished more than, say, in the fall and winter. Not too many truly "open holes" here, but there's not one true "pinball machine" hole where you're just throwing it and hoping for luck. This course will take every trick you have. Getting pars on a few of these holes will be extremely tough. Bathrooms and water fountain with faucet at the bottom of the hill towards the 6th tee. Holes 15 through 18 are new to me, so I will go through them:
Hole 15: Mostly straightforward with small creek about 3/5 of way through. Bad drives punished but not a tight fairway.
Hole 16: Interesting par 4. The basket is easily seeable and you have a tight route on the right and a much more open, but longer route, farther left. This evens the playing field for lefties vs. righties.
Hole 17: Left hander benefits on the tee shot. Once out you will have a small creek and a lot of room to work with. Be careful of the boulders (true with almost the whole course).
Final hole: Probably the easiest hole if you can make it past the first set of trees. Basket is on a small pile of rocks maybe four or five feet high. Makes for terrific ace runs on a course that is mostly ace dry.

Cons: I recommend bringing the oldest shoes you have and the oldest pair of socks you have. The course tends to stay wet a while after rain but still quite playable. The holes don't have maps, but the fairways are defined enough so even a newcomer can probably enjoy it.
Other Thoughts: Certainly not a course for first-timers. Many holes here would be awesome signature holes elsewhere. Hole 2 has a pin high on a hill, and any disc that would roll will be found at the bottom and will take at least 2 to get back up. Hole 4 has a hanging basket off a low branch. Hole 6 is probably the toughest and longest hole here, easily 800 plus feet and not all open either. If you birdie this par 5, remeber that shot for a while. Hole 9's pin is just feet away from a cliff. If you're going to go for it, hope you either make it or come short. Go over the man-made bridges, including the Nocky infamous "Motherbridge" after the 11th tee. There's a waterfall both near the 7th and 12th pins, and after a railfall it looks even better. The elevated pin on the 18th rounds out what is easily one of my top courses and THE must play course in and around the Lehigh Valley. Ten minutes from major connector route 309 and about 15 minutes from I-476. Many good eating establishments in nearby Quakertown.
