Quick round

Pros: Good for practicing your putter and midrange hucks. Baskets are nice. Right on campus so thats convienent. A lot of ace runs.
Cons: You wont even need your drivers. Beer bottles laying around. Last time I played there they were doing construction and 3 of the holes were makeshift or blocked off. I believe they had dirt tee pads.
Other Thoughts: Good spot to shoot a quick round. If your on campus its good but I wouldnt go out of my way to play this course.

Pros: Every hole is ace able.
Mowed area and well groomed trees.
Very little litter.
New paver tee boxes are the rumor.
Cons: No elevation changes.
People walking home cut through the course all the time and make you wait for them.
Super short both in length and playing time.
Other Thoughts: A well maintained practice course. Good for kids and beginners. Approach and putt practice for an experienced player.

Pros: This is a quick course to play if you have some time to waste. The grounds are well maintained and is usually very clean.
Cons: Since all of the holes are shorter than 200 ft. you dont really use your entire arsenal of shots. Tee boxes can be a little muddy after rains

Pros: --Good course for a quick, casual round
--The holes are all in the open but are often constructed around trees and other obstacles that require a variety of shots
--Baskets are in good condition and newer
Cons: --Most, if not all holes, require only a midrange and putter, so there is not a lot of variety in the "distance" aspect
--There are no hole diagram signs at the tees, so pars and distances are nonexistent
--The tees are literally dirt patches with a single boulder
--There may be some pedestrian traffic interference during the school year on a few holes
--Don't look for an intense challenge here, the challenge was nonexistent
--There were beer bottles littered and shattered around the course when I played (at the end of the school year right after all the students left)
Other Thoughts: Good course for a casual game and practicing placement shots. And I guess they recently moved the position of hole 9 so it does not require walking across a parking lot and throwing towards a busy road. Overall, a good course for a casual game with friends.

Needs A Mando Through The HOOP!

Pros: OK first let me explain the title of this review. If you look at the pictures of this course, there is a giant, art-like sculpture that has a huge ring projected up in the air. They totally should have made a hole that plays through that thing. We are talking Caddyshack II style of Disc Golf. LOL And now, on to the review…

This is a short course with some trees, open holes, lots of OB, some slight elevation, and a couple of water holes (sort of). This is a good place to learn the game as I don't think any of the holes are over 2oo feet. The terrain was nice and the grounds were well kept. The two holes that "could" have water in play were well done. The water is not directly in play, but a wild shot left will get you wet. The tee pads were dirt/grass pads were not in too bad of shape. The baskets are in decent shape and parking was great.
Cons: The 9th hole was on the other side of the course from the 1st hole. So you basically had to walk across the entire course to start over. Some of these holes have a road, or a walking path or a fence right next to the hole. I'm not a fan of that. There were no trashcans or restroom on this course, but as short as it is, that's not really needed. Navigation was not easy for such a little course. I missed a hole (and had to go back to find it) but then I saw a group ahead of me to follow. It would have taken much longer without them to find all the tee boxes. They are not really close to the basket before them; you really need to be close to spot them (look for the dirt spots).
Other Thoughts: The Fun Factor here was almost not there. A few of the holes were fun to fire at as far as an ace is concerned, but there were not really any challenging holes. I'm really not a fan of course where there is a good chance of hitting someone or something off course. I would come back here if that giant hoop was in play, but for now, this is one I might pass on unless I was teaching someone else the sport.

Pros: Quick 9 holes to play in between classes, or after playing Miller Creek.

All nine holes are between 150-200 ft, making every tee shot aceable. The first 2 holes are east of the sculpture. 3-5 are West of the sculpture, and 6-9 go counter clockwise around the softball field.
Cons: Nothing here to really test your driving length. And that's what really impresses those college chicks.
Other Thoughts: We didn't know where to start, but there were other people playing, even though school wasn't in session.
