Great Starter Course
1 
2/23/2013 
2/25/2013
Pros: As others have stated this is a great course to introduce new players to the sport. Maybe the best one I have seen. Rivals Middletown in MD for that distinction. Just enough variety in elevation and obstacle to make it a great 1st time out. I love the over the building hole, 8 and 9. Just fun.
Cons: If you want to rip long throws, or play narrow technical fairways, this ain't your place. Short, mostly open course.
Other Thoughts: This is a nice park. Bathrooms, water, pavilions. Easy to find.
Unless you put one in the creek, probably will not lose a disc here (famous last words).

Other Thoughts: This is a great community park. If you have friends or family wanting to spend the day at a park and introduce them to Disk Golf this is a highly recommended park. They have a large pavilion for get togethers and smaller cookout spots along with a Military memorial. Great location for a 4th of July or Memorial Day celebration.

Short Game Practice Course
Pros: I gave this course a 3.0 because its a great course for beginners and those who want to practice their short game. I learned how to play disc golf here and it was a great place to start. The more experienced players will rarely need to pull out a driver since no hole goes much longer than 300ft.
Cons: As stated its a short course. Not challenging holes.

Great beginner course, lots of ace potential 
Pros: - Located in a well maintained park
- Ace Runs aplenty
- Great course for inexperienced players trying to work out the kinks in their game.
- Baskets, hole signs and teepads in excellent condition
- Low chance of disc loss

Cons: -Very short, not much of a challenge for experienced players
- Only 1 hole over 300ft and it is downhill
- Park is used by many non-disc golfers so be aware of their presence on many holes
- At times the teepad for #9 can be changed for RC car races that also take place in the park

Other Thoughts: This is an excellent course for doing three things. 1, playing quick practice rounds. 2, Introducing a new player to game/playing with inexperienced friends. 3, As a warm up for several other more challenging courses in the area.
As long as your not expecting a 5 disc course Willow Mill should not disappoint, and there are plenty of ace opportunities and who dosen't like that?

A Quick and Pleasant 9 
Pros: Nice park setting with well maintained grounds. Close to several other courses and other things to do (eat, shop, etc.).
Good tees. Baskets in good shape. Excellent signage with hole layout & footage. Very easy to navigate and super quick to play.
Nice variety of tee shot options, in spite of short length. All holes but #1 give you multiple options off of the tee (possible right & left turning or straight options). A couple give you options just because they're pretty wide open, but several have genuine alternate paths to the pins.
The layout uses the available elevation changes as much as possible pretty much. Trees can come into play on most holes so you have adequate opportunities to shape your lines.

Cons: Short length. Hole #5, at 345', is the longest hole. Playing slightly down hill, even I can reach the pin off of the tee.
Shule to the left of #1 can come into play on an errant shot and it's pretty thick in there. Of course, my driver shouldn't have ended up over there in the first place so not really a con, just a heads up. And the creek could come into play on #1 & #2, although it's not really "part of the course" per se.

Other Thoughts: Not a destination course by any stretch of the imagination. But it is a fun little play. I played a speed round on the 4th 9 that I played and finished with a 24 in just over 15 minutes. So it really is that easy to get around the course.
Highlights:
#3... As weird as it was to have a blind tee shot over/around a storage building, there was just something enjoyable about doing it. #4 at 262' was a pretty cool up-hill, right turning tee shot through some trees. I think that my best drive was actually a roller going around the trees to the left. And #9, at only 168', pretty much just has the pin planted directly behind, and totally concealed by, one huge tree. Again, I don't know why, but I just really enjoyed that little hole.
Bring the kids and other noobs and have a good time showing them the game. Or bring a couple discs when you only have a little bit of time and get in some good short game practice in a hurry.

Ace Race Alley 
Pros: This nice little nine holer actually has more amenities than most eighteen hole courses I have played. There are cement tee boxes, several porta potties, water fountain, playground for the kids and a pavilion. The course is mostly wide open but requires a good assortment of shots with some semi-challenging basket locations. The grass is mowed here and what little elevation change is at the park is utilized quite well. All of the baskets are numbered which ends up being very useful because holes five through seven all intersect quite closely.
Cons: As I mentioned above holes five, six and seven are awfully crowded and tight (very easy to get a black ace if you are into that). There were a ton of bugs floating close to the ground; especially near the large piles of grass clippings left neatly in a line by the lawnmower. The clippings also hide your disc quite well. When I went there was a group of people that were racing RC cars that parked in on hole nine's tee and right near eights basket; making them nearly unplayable. Although they did make a new tee for nine with a numbered stake.
Other Thoughts: There is a small stream near holes one and two where an errant drive could easily land so be careful.

We're talking about practice
Pros: Pretty setting in a small park by the Cond. creek. The course has 9 brand new Innova Discatchers and the tee pads are awesome. All the tee pads are concrete that are grippy and quite large. The course makes you use numerous shots and my favorite hole is number 4 where the basket is 50 feet behind a shed.
Cons: -Very easy
-Don't like to have to walk backwards to get to a tee pad to eventually throw to a basket that was near where you came from
-Don't like to have to walk backwards to get to a tee pad to eventually throw to a basket that was near where you came from
Other Thoughts: This is a nice practice course if you just want to get out and throw a disc. You could play this course with 2 or 3 discs tops and be fine. I imagine that play could be interrupted more in the summer when more people are in the park. This is not a park set up only for disc golf.

Begginer 9 Hole
Pros: Large concrete tee off pads, good signs at ever hole, quiet and clean park with nice view of creek, Great course for begginers.
Cons: Short hole distances. Sometimes people park on hole 2 and need to be informed of it being a recreational area. Holes 5, 6 & 7 are WIDE open (good for begginers but those with experience need some obsticles).
Other Thoughts: This course is in a nice little park. Great for families or begginers looking to work on their game. Those more experience players might find this course a little dull after a couple rounds.

Start Me Up 
Pros:
Excellent concrete teepads with ridges to assist with gripping. Very nice signs showing the distance and location of the basket relative to other objects. Next tee arrows on bottom of baskets. Minimal chance to lose a disc. Would be a good course for glow. Easy to follow even w/o a map.

Cons:
The day we played two people parked their car and set up their lounge chairs practically on basket #1. Another non-player was parked and sitting fairly close to #2.

Other Thoughts:
Course plays in a counter-clockwise direction in a small multi-purpose park. Holes range in distance from 168' to 345', averaging about 240'. For a nine-holer, it had a nice blend of left/right/either/neither turning shots required off the tee, and uphill/downhill/flat. Holes 5-7 were fairly open, but the other had a couple trees, or a building, forcing some shot-shaping. Note: the closest tee to basket #5 is #7 - tee #6 is down the hill, and has you throwing back up it.
Excellent course for beginners ready to work on some shot-shaping. Multiple birdie-runs for more experienced players.

Simple Fun!
Pros: Perfect grippy concrete tees, signage, and nice baskets in a nice park. First 2 holes incorporate low ceilings nearby a river...watch your plinko trees here! Hole 3 is a different blind shot either left,right or over a windowless utility building! Hole 4 is a fun anhyzer up and through a tree gap. Hole 8 is a fun slightly downhill sharp anhyzer around some hardwoods to an island green surrounded by roads, and you finish your day with an ace chance around a big old tree. Great for beginners or as a relaxing round. I played it after getting tree whupped at White Tail and was glad I did. Bathrooms and plenty of parking. Also it is not far off of I-81 so worth a stop on your way to Paw Paw or Whispering Falls.
Cons: Short and will not provide any challenge to most disc golfers. Holes 5,6,and 7 are just open field hucks. A little confusion of which basket to throw to on hole 5. (read the sign!) OOB Access roads and river may bother beginners a bit. A shame as it is best suited for beginners.
Other Thoughts: I like simple niners as a way to practice and to restore confidence. This was a nice park and given it's proximity to I-81 I will probably stop by again sometime. Still seeking my first ace....this course has a slew of ace chances! I was very curious about the mini car dirt track and asphalt race track near the entrance of the park.
