Pros: fun course. good signs that "help" u with were the basket is located. most holes have some type of trees but still lanes 2 throw
Cons: needs some maintence. clear some tree debris. better markers at basket 2 help get u 2 the next tee. playing with a small group is fine but if their are other on coure u will have to pay attention for discs because the tee boxes and fairways are close and cross sometimes
Other Thoughts: TAKE BUG SPRAY. then dump it on u. my friends and i were attacked by mosquitos. they stung through the clothing. LOOK OUT.

I gotBushwacked! :( 
Pros: A serviceable course for working on technical lines and approaches. There actually are a few longer holes such as #8 that is 350 but slightly uphill with a low initial ceiling so it plays longer. Also there are a few interesting lines to discover here as well as some really fun shots such as Hole #7 downhill through a mature forest canopy. I enjoyed the mix of flex shots, overhands, anhyzers, true hyzers, and even the simpler ace runs if you included the oob pavements into those shots. A perfect backyard practice type course as it will never be busy and has a low stress feel once you are in the woods 4-18. A good course to restore your confidence as par is definetely attainable. No one bothered me despite me obviously not being a student at the college. Signage was a help at the tee pads.
Cons: Plenty of things keep this course from reaching it's potential. It has a sloppy feel to it. That is lots of downed trees and large branches run amok in the fairways in the woods. These are to the point of making walking hazzardous. I typically don't mention these things but these are obviously more than a few yrs old and not just recent ice storm deadfall. Holes 1-3 play near campus walkways and buildings and although fun simple shots either lend themselves to danger or distraction with conflicts ever present during certain times. Several holes intersect one another or play close to other holes....crazy layout which gets confusing even for a veteran disc golfer who "thinks he can sniff out a layout" by instinct. I missed hole 15 and played 16 as hole 6 accidently. There still is no hole 18 as of April Fools Day 2011. My biggest peeve were the bush holes 9,10,11,and 12. Great hole shapes but unfortunately the fairways were defined by bushes and younger trees with their expansive foliage in the presumed throwing lanes. Bummer! Lots of blind holes , which is fun but given the bushiness and cramped feel of the course you could potentially lose a disc or hit someone. So despite the interesting little holes I got frustrated by disc retrievals, wandering, and feeling a bit cramped to begin the day on the initial campus holes.
Other Thoughts: My title rflects the bushy foliage that spoiled my mood and the wacky layout that got me frustrated.
It seems to be the fate of many campus courses. A few students dream it up and get the course installed and then they graduate or lose interest and the course falls into a state of decay. I'm not sure the story here but it seems to be the case based on evidence here.
I really felt like this was like somebody's backyard course as it has many intersecting walks and fairways and no true tee pads but has some really fun little shots mixing woods and open spaces well. I would bet if this were a pvt course it would get bumped up in the ratings but in reality its on a college campus and safety concerns and navigation are important.

Pros: -Baskets are in good shape.
-All but the first two holes are away from the college campus.
-Has several elevated tees.
-Tees have pictures of the hole and arrows pointing in the direction of play.
-Several ace-able holes. (came close once)

Cons: -Hole six tee box is very hard to find and not well marked.
-We couldn't find hole 18's basket.
-Grounds didn't seem very well kept.
-Tee pads were gravel, part of a walkway, or non-existant

Other Thoughts: Overall we did enjoy this course, but were annoyed about not being able to play all 18 holes. If you are from Lancaster County and are looking for a change of pace from your regular course, this is a nice option.

Recently Improved?
Pros: Signs are excellent. Have distance and direction of pin. Also arrows on baskets point the way to next tee. Good mix of right and left turns.
Cons: Mostly short holes. No concrete tees. A few areas a little difficult to navigate.
Other Thoughts: This is certainly not a destination type course but worth the time if you are in the area. I'm wondering if work has been done on it because the signs all seem very new.

Approach-less
Pros:
Tee signs with number, distance, and flightpath information. Arrows on bottom of basket indicating direction of next tee. Even blend of left/right turns needed off the tee. Plenty of chances to tee-off with mids/fairway drivers, then putt.

Cons:
Tee signs' orientation not consistent - sometimes they are in front, sometime they are to the side. Tees are whatever random surface happens to be available. Having a small clearing shared by three holes (6,15,16) not ideal, as is still having no basket for #18. Lots of brush, tall grass, and ankle-high plant-life means a high chance of disc loss.

Other Thoughts:
Don't let the miniature-golf aspect of hole #1 (wide-open, straight, 135') turn you off - the course does get better, making the most of the small bit of land available to it, which consists of the edge of the campus, a tiny clearing, a patch of woods, a small meadow with scattered trees, and a short tree-filled ridge. With 1/3rd of the holes under 200' and 3/4ths under 275', you'll have plenty of opportunity to work on finesse drives and then putts, but little-to-no opportunity to grip-n-rip or make approach shots.
Navigation: After finishing #5, walk past the basket, up the slope (carefully - lots of broken pipes and mini-sinkholes), through the trees/brush to reach tee #16. To your left is basket #15. Across the clearing is a sign - that's where tee #6 is, with basket #16 behind it and to the left. To you right and up the ridge is tee #7/#15, and hard to the right and in the woods is basket #6. So, walk across, and play #6 (a hard double-left turn), then either scramble up the steep ridge to your left for tee #7, or re-trace your steps a bit and walk up a more gradual incline to reach the tee. Also, when finishing #14, don't keep walking straight, or you'll find tee #17! Instead, re-trace your steps a bit, then turn right, to find tee #15 (same spot as #7).
Favourite hole #7: One of the longer holes at over 300' and one of the few holes with elevation change, you need to throw a down/cross left-turning shot, avoiding a smattering of large trees early, then running straight towards the basket located at the end of a narrowing opening.
A few ace and many birdie opportunities, if that's your muse! Polar opposite to Red Land High School, just about ½ hour away.

E-Town
Pros: Varying shots to the left and right. Technique needed for much of this course. Some holes go through woods and some are open shots. Several blind shots make it interesting.
Cons: No tee off boxes. The course gets a little confusing at times crossing over itself. Hole 18 is missing. Course could use some landscaping and grooming.
Other Thoughts: A decent course for college students to have close by but isn't much to look at. Would be nice if they put some time into making it look a little nicer, by cleaning up the brush and doing something to cheer it up.

Pros: Tight, teaches course managment, need to stay online, different throws need to score good.
Cons: layout doesn't flow, torns eveywhere
Other Thoughts: Need someone to donate the 18 basket!
Play from basket 16 to basket 3 finish your round.

Bad Park
Pros: Difficult throws in the woods which makes you rely on your short skills rather than your hucking.
Cons: Poison ivy everywhere. Looks like it hasn't been played in 15 years. No pars and the holes are really hard to find, espically hole 6.
Other Thoughts: They need to clear out the poison ivy more and just clear out the brush aswell. Need to see the pars aswell.

Pros: -Uses a variety of throws and discs
-Well thought out course through the woods
-Not a lot of traffic and course is almost all separate from school grounds except for the first 2 holes.
-The course has pictures on each tee showing where the basket is with arrows and distance.
-Baskets are in great shape

-Baskets are in great shape
Cons: -never even found basket number 18
-although it's being maintained, better ground keeping would make the course nicer as there are a lot of high brush areas on the course.
-Not very challenging...the most challenging part is that there are some places on the course where there should just be a few more trees cut down to make it more realistic.
-A couple of the holes cris-cross over each other so if there were multiple people on the course, you would need to look out for other discs.

Other Thoughts: This a very short course where you can have a chance at an ace on at least 5 holes. I shot a par today 8-12-09, and that was because I had two bad holes. A confusing hole to find is number 6...After you are done with hole 5, walk up to the 16th tee behind basket 5, and walk towards the 16th basket and that's where tee #6 is. Also, when you are done with number 7, 8's tee is all the way back by #4's basket heading out into the field. This course has some spots where you seriously need to have someone spot your disc since there are a few blind holes. This course has a good amount of shot selection as there are a couple of really short par 3's, under 150 feet that involve a hyzer or two. This course could actually be a pretty neat course if everything gets cleaned out properly. The lay out has a couple of elevation changes that make for neat holes to play.
