Pros: +Nice baskets: including a practice basket
+Nice scenery and a pretty rugged hike through this little valley.
+Good signs: tee signs are pretty good and there are plenty of signs to get you to the next tee.
+Amenities: benches at many holes, garbage cans easily accessible, port-a-john and restrooms, and picnic tables

Cons: -Tee pads/areas are a little rough or poorly defined on many holes.
-Layout: front nine a bit cramped, a park road runs through the front nine, several stream crossings and no foot bridges.

Other Thoughts: The park is in a pretty narrow valley and this contributes to some of the challenges and some of the downsides of this course.
The front nine are a bit more open than the back and played a little easier. Hole 4 stood out for me on the front nine. It is a downhill shot that throws over the creek to a small flat. The back nine pick up the challenge a bit and offer a little bit more distance. Notable holes include 12, a big downhill shot to the basket tucked just feet from the creek. Hole 18 is another nice hole consisting of an uphill throw to a dogleg and then downhill approach shot to a green on a little flat just above the creek.
I think that there is some really good use of land with a very good mix of uphill and downhill shots. There is also pretty good pin placement. Many holes, particularly on the back nine, require a pretty well placed tee shot to set up a good approach or birdie chance. One of the biggest gripes is the lack of footbridges. Just two would make navigating holes 4 through 8 a bit easier.
Overall, I think it is a pretty good course, it definitely challenged mine and the pups hiking legs. I don't know that I'd drive from Pittsburgh again just to play it alone, but I wouldn't hesitate to include it in a future road trip through the area.

Good Course could be great
Pros: Very nice course with good signs and other markers to navigate throught the woods. Offers great variety of shots through the woods with a nice mix of long open shots mixed in too. Use of elevation makes this course unique.
Cons: There is a creek that you have to cross over a few times. Adding a bridge or two could improve this course.
Other Thoughts: Well worth making a special trip to come play this one.

Literally Just a Disc Golf Park
Pros: The course had great baskets. It also had amazing signs and arrows on trees to lead you from hole to hole which made navigating a breeze. The course used pavement where they could as the tee pads, but the natural tee pads were fine also. Had a few big downhill tee off which are always fun. Had a mix of long and short and a mix of ones that were very wooded and some more open tees.
Cons: You had to cross this creek bed a bunch of times and it could be hard for older players because there are no bridges. A couple more trees could be cut down to make legitimate fairways. Not to many cons for this course.
Other Thoughts: A great Ohio course, I would recommend anyone within 45 minutes or an hour take a weekend and come play this once or twice because it is worth it.

Other Thoughts: Played while down in Steubenville for work, and this heavily wooded 18 gave me a tremendous work out. Constant elevation change coupled with tight wooded holes made for lots of hiking around. Much of the course could use some bottom clearing along with bringing down a small tree here and there, but aside from that it plays real nice. Pavement is utilized as tee pads on some holes while the rest are natural creating some difficulty for a good tee shot. Mid ranges and putters were the only discs to come out of my bag the entire time, and it was great to shape lines and weave your way to basket instead of trying to throw big distances. Navigation got easier after the first handful of holes thanks to helpful tee signs and arrows on trees throughout. The creek was all but dried up for me so tossing into the water was never an issue. The deeper into the park you play the more beautiful and inspiring it becomes. Old stone structures, stairs, and tables are built into the landscape which create a really cool vibe. The course has plenty of modern benches placed throughout for catching your breath, for which I was grateful. Aside from the need for some clearing and the lack of firm/level tee pads I was pleased overall with my experience. Very cool place for a tight technical round.

Pros: Great use of terrain! Hole 4 is very fun - throwing across the width of the park. 12 downhill is a cool shot. 13 is throwing across the valley again in a different area.
Nice reward for taking a risk on most holes, but the penalty for a bad miss is high.

Cons: A couple of holes are boring (1 and 9) but just a couple, and those had some obstacles to make up for it - partially.
Other Thoughts: Looks like a new hole 11 added. That puts the old #11 at the bottom of the hill, and subsequent holes off on the basket markings, the signs are correct, though.
Several chances to throw across the whole park (it is a narrow park).
If there were tee pads, I would have gone to 4.5.
My GPS did not want to take me to the right entrance - make sure you approach from Lincoln Ave.

What a workout!
Pros: Great use of the land to present many unique challenges. Great scenery throughout and some old ruins to explore here and there.
This course has many holes that I would consider signature holes:
Hole 11 - As others have stated...WOW! I've never seen a hole quite like this one. I felt like I was looking into a pit with a basket at the bottom. The ruins near the tee are great too.
Hole ? (somewhere in the back 9,can't remember the number) - This hole had two line options, one left one right. It had the feel of an "island green" in ball golf. Just a tee, lots of trees and a round splash of green in the distance with a basket in the middle.
Hole #16 (I think) - A par 3 over two sections of the stream with a HUGE lip in front of the basket. I ended up on the little peninsula and could only see the top of the basket for my birdie putt. Very cool hole.

Cons: The biggest con for my group was the lack of bridges over the creek. Due to errant throws and confusion as to where the next hole was in a few spots, I think we crossed the creek at least 10 times. In many spots, there were high banks on both sides so it was interesting. I took a bit off of my rating simply due to this. A bridge or two (or three or four) would greatly improve this course.
There are many areas, particularly on the back nine, that could use some clearing
The final thing noticed by my group was the rough terrain, LOL. We started with six people and a dog. Three of us finished the round. You will get a workout, especially on the back 9 but it's well worth the effort.

Other Thoughts: This is simply a phenomenal disc golf course. I had a blast trying (and often failing) to hit some of the tight tunnels. The highlight of the course, IMO, is hole #11...it made my day.
Note: The 3.0 rating is based primarily on the "rawness" of the course. This course will be a 4-4.5 rating once it's beat in a for a few years and bridges are in place.

Wooded Disc Golf 
Pros: Located in a very nice, secluded park. The park itself is a little rundown but there are pavilions, a playground, great walking trail and a port-a-john.
Great use of available land. The course plays down a stream valley between two large hills. The front nine is more open* with less elevation changes* (*both relative). The back nine is very heavily wooded, with longer holes and larger elevation changes.
Great tunnel shots and lots of shots over/around the creek. Alot of the holes provide you with alot of choices on routes to take and there are very nice risk/reward shots. Errant throws are punished.
Great locals (Bill). There might not be a ton of them but they are always friendly and helpful. They provide the score cards and maps at hole #1

Cons: Bad tees. This course is not heavily funded and is maintained by just a few people so the tees are not able to be upgraded. As people have mentioned previously they are gravel which is never all that great but is better than throwing from mud ruts like some courses have.
I think it is hole #4 that crosses hole #1's fairway. Admittedly this course is never very busy so it is not really a factor but holes that cross are never a good idea.

Other Thoughts: I really had a good time at this course. It has a very high fun factor, and it has a very different feel to it than alot of other courses I have played. The fact that this very nice course was put in and maintained by about 4 or 5 guys is pretty impressive.
The hillsides are steep and can be a little treacherous (not a con) so be prepared. Also you will be crossing the creek a few times so if it has rained recently get ready to get your feet a little wet.
One last note: I would advise against playing the back 9 if there is more than an inch or so of snow on the ground since it becomes pretty dangerous.

Great course in an area that needs it 
Pros: It's a work out
Great use of available land
Really fun and interesting course
Some fantastic elevation changes
It's in an area (Ohio Valley) that filled with great land for Disc Golf. Also filled with nice people with not a lot to do. I think this is a good place to introduce Disc Golf

Cons: Not a lot of variety, Mostly hilly and wooded
Can be a little confusing to navigate
Gravel Tees, ouch. I hate Gravel Tees, they kill my knees
Footing can be a problem
This course will punish you on mis-throws

Other Thoughts: When I was getting ready to play the first hole, a Gentleman and his wife drove by. He stopped to introduce himself and wish me luck, said he helped design and maintain the park. He was very friendly and I was happy to met him
The course itself is almost entirely tight wooded shots up and down a very large hillside. That's not necessarily a bad thing depending on your preferences, I personally prefer it. Be ready to get your feet wet and be ready for a good hike. Make sure you have good footing because you can fall easily in the mud or loose dirt. There also seems to be a lot of old structure debris hidden around the area you don't want to fall into.
Power is not emphasized on this course, accuracy is much much more important. Tight and Technical
Hole number 11 is the best one. (I'm so predictable) It was about 200 feet straight down (and I mean straight down) a tight tunnel. I can honestly say I have never played a hole quite like it.
I'm a sucker for elevation changes and nature so this course was right up my alley. If your a local, it a must. And if you love road trips (like me) and you live within 4 hours of this place then I definitely would hit it up. Good job Stuebenville

Pros: Challenging Course that palys back and forth across a small stream with some major elevation changes. Offers some really unique holes as well as pin placements.
I particularly liked hole 11, plays straight down from at least 200ft up to pin nestled between sometrees on the creeks edge.
The back 9 is a hike!! You will go up and down the mountain at leas 2 or 3 times. Heavly wooded , and errant shots will just make you miserable, if not make you want to give up on looking for your disc.
Very Nice signage on all tees. Hole 8 is on the path with the sign attached to the bridge on right side.

Cons: Disc swallowing bushes, Some overlapping holes. Gravel tees...ouch!!
Other Thoughts: I happen to think this was a beautiful course. I am partially biased because Im a mountain guy. The par its self appears to be nestled between 2 very large mountains. Lots of nice scenery, Rock formations and cliffs line the right side of the park. You will find abandoned stone structures throughout the park. Stone tables are in several locations.From what i have been able to research this use to be a cemetery. If anybody has more info on the history of this park please message me.
There is a playground and some pavilions, along with a outhouse. Scorecards are availble at the start and have map on them as well. I would've posted the map on here, but i lost my scorecard.
