Quick, easy play 
Pros: This course did a pretty good job using what land it had to work with, especially on the wooded holes on the back 9. The holes did not seem to favor a specific type of throw, and most holes at least had a couple of defined throwing lanes. I appreciate the use of distance on the front nine, although none of the holes would be long enough to consider being a par 4, and it was nice to have some more technical holes on the back 9. I felt like the baskets, tee pads and signs were in very good shape.
Cons: I felt like this course did get a little repetitive on the front nine with all but 1 hole basically being an open driving hole. While the course incorporated some distance (multiple holes over 300 ft), and some wooded holes (a good part of the back 9), there did not seem to be any combination of the two. There was not an excessive amount of challenge, because you either threw it fair, or threw it straight and were in good shape.
Other Thoughts: I enjoyed playing this course. Having not really played in months, I still shot a 2-under round, which easily could have been 5-under with a couple of mulligans. I did appreciate the fact that I never had any trouble finding a disc playing by myself. This is a nice course and if I lived closer, I would love to bring some of my more casual disc golfing friends to this course as opposed to Lincoln Ridge or Idlewild. Lastly this course does have some variety, in that I did have to consider distances on the short holes, where some courses, you just throw hard and then putt and approach.

Report this Review Pros: Back 9 are the best for ace shots and lowering your score. It is a great course to play a quick round of DG, or just to practice in general. NOTE: Master BW before trying to lower you Idlewilde score.
Cons: Front 9 can be aggravating . Hole 4 can be rough because of the trees. I normally throw a sidearm Beast and will hopefully be guaranteed a par opportunity

A piece of work. 
Pros: Tee pads, Tee signs, Baskets, Defined fairways, Variety of holes, Water hazards, Clean, Not crowded, Parking, Restrooms, Maintained, Fun and best of all its FREE!
Cons: Short holes, Safety hazards and No practice basket (currently used on hole #5)
Other Thoughts: The course is located in a county park that is maintained by Boone County. The concrete tee pads and comprehensive tee signs mounted on 4x4 and a hanging bucket makes it easy to navigate. They are consistent throughout the course giving an easy landmark for the next hole. I was the only person playing and had no problem navigating or issues with locating the next tee or basket.
Course offers fairways that are open rolling hills with elevation changes -/+, heavily wooded tunnels, tight doglegs and water hazards. All the characteristics of a disc golf course that we look for it was there just not on a large scale. The back half of the course does have a few short holes with tee pads close to the previous baskets and close to some townhouses, but these are the technical holes. I enjoyed the time playing the course it will challenge a beginner yet satisfy the appetite for an intermediate player. It serves its purpose.
I am not from the area and had punched in the coordinates to several courses and this was the first one it led me to. It wasn't till after I played and was looking at my navigation system to take me to the next course closest to me is when I realized I was only 1.7 mi. away from Idle wild and not far away from Lincoln Ridge either. I was disappointed because it was too late to play either and surprised to have so many quality courses so close together.

Pros: -Great course to be relaxed yet still challenged.
-Great for practicing and perfecting any Disc Golf technique.
-Hole to hole you are challenged in a new way and it helps you grow in the mental aspect of disc golf.
Examples:
I. Hole 1 is a nice warm-up hole that you can approach in a variety of ways.
II. Hole 2 has slight trees in the fairway and can be easily Hyzered.
III. Hole 3 & 4 challenge you with hilly terrain and trees.
IV. Hole 5 is a bit longer and usually requires you to read the wind and throw accordingly. Many times I have thought the wind calm only to find out that 100' down the fairway your disc gets ripped to the right.
The back nine add finesse challenges with narrow passages through trees yet the course finishes off nicely with holes 16-18 being open and longer.

Cons: Only a few holes are over 300' not much of a challenge for distance.
Can get very muddy very easily!

Other Thoughts: Since the renovation in 2009 the Boone County Parks system has always been making improvements on the course. They recently added 2 bridges and have been keeping the course nice and tidy when needed. This course is well on its way to becoming a 3.5 rated course that every disc golfer should check out if possible.
Any level player can enjoy playing here, sometimes I will take only my KC Pro for 18 holes and do great!

Pros: very fun and quick course, great for beginners, the tee pads are kept in great shape and easy to see next holes. the front nine are average 300 ft. and open and the back nine are average 150 to 200 with tricky shots for good practicing
Cons: not many cons just could be bigger

Growing on me.
Pros: This is a short course, so I can take beginner friends or my girlfriend there. Back nine is shorter than the front. Holes 3 & 4 are the hardest on the course. #4 is the only hole that COULD be considered a "par 4" by a good player. The new design of 13 is much better. A big pro for me is that I live 3 miles away.
Cons: It's short. Holes 10-17 are easily deuceable. 11, 12, 14, and 15 are really short. My girlfriend, who has played maybe 10 times, has hit the basket off the tee on 12 and 15 in the same round.
Other Thoughts: At first I didn't like the new design, but the more I play it the more I like it for what it is. You can play a round in under an hour. It doesn't let you rip it off the tee every hole, but it is good practice.

Fun Course 
Pros: Boone Woods Park has a nice little 18 hole course that is a nice contrast to Idlewild that is about a mile away. This course is located in a great little park that has a bunch of stuff to do like tennis, soccer, horseshoes, and has a great playground with a huge fort for the kids. There are also a couple of bathrooms along/near the course that are very convenient. The course has very nice baskets, tees tee signs and garbage buckets on every sign. There is a very nice mix of open and wooded holes. Although most of the previous reviews mentioned how short a course this is there are 7 holes that are over 300 feet and let you air it out a little bit. Most of the wooded holes are very short but have little to no underbrush to worry about. On most holes there is at least a little bit of shot shaping required but still a lot of different lines to the basket. There is not a ton of elevation on this land but it was used to good effect for the course. Also you can see that this course is well maintained. The fairways were mowed and there was no trash anywhere on the course. Also there are some very nice bridges that have been built exclusively for the disc golf course. This course was a very fun play and I really enjoyed holes number 3 and 4. #3 is a 330 ft hole that weaves goes over a wooded gulley to a slightly sloped pin. This is followed by #4 which is 350ft and tees off from the open over a little creek and slightly up hill to a well protected pin.
Cons: This course is definitely not a overly challenging play, especially when compared to other courses in the area. It would be great for a beginner or intermediate player. A couple of the holes have townhouses or yards of homes near by and could come into play on a bad shot or a windy day. Holes 11, 12 and 13 felt very cramped together in the woods and the walk between 9 and 10 was a little disconnected. Holes 5, 6, 7 and 8 were very wide open and kind of boring.
Other Thoughts: This was a fun course that I think would do very well in a place where Idlewild and Banklick were not so close. Although not remarkable I would still suggest to anybody to give it a try. This would be a great park to bring your kids to so they can enjoy the sweet fort while you go discing.
There was a very bad storm the day before I played this course and quite a few trees and branches were down although not many effecting the disc golf course. Unfortunately basket #1 got dinged by a branch and while still usable it has a slight bent top that makes for a narrower entrance to the front of the basket (closest to the tee). The local public works department already had most of the debris cleared by the time we got there to play so other than the basket it should not be a factor. I never saw the practice basket that is supposed to be there so I have no idea if it survived the storm.

Idlewilds Handicapped Brother
Pros: Challenging holes, plenty of chance to take a high score on most holes. Water comes into play on several holes and there are a couple of long holes throwing downhill. Good mix between woods and field, excellent mix of hills and flat ground, didn't really notice any elevation changes while walking.
Cons: I can't really remember any cons to the course, but it wasn't an awe-inspiring 4.5-5.0 course.
Other Thoughts: My friend who was guiding me around the course called it "Idlewild's retarded brother." We played this course on our first day at 7:30am and it was perfect. By the time we were done with the round it was time to take the hoodies off.
This course has a ton of trees once you get into the woods and a lot of the holes have a hill in play either up or down, so watch your shots and keep everything solid; one wrong kick from a tree could end up giving you 3 extra strokes on a hole.

-The practice pin allows you to practice before you get started
-It is a great beginner course
-It is taken care of pretty well

-It is taken care of pretty well
Cons: -On some of the tees the sign is gone so you dont know which pin you are going for
-Every hole is a par 3
-It doesn't have many long holes
-It doesn't really challenge you
-You have to walk through the park to get to the next hole sometimes and it can interfere with you while you are playing
-Not many people play there

-It doesn't have many long holes
-It doesn't really challenge you
-You have to walk through the park to get to the next hole sometimes and it can interfere with you while you are playing
-Not many people play there
Other Thoughts: This course doesn't really stand a chance, because Idlewild is right down the road and Lincoln Ridge is not too far away. So many people would rather go there than go to here. Out of all the courses that i have played this was the most moderate and didn't challenge me in different ways.

This review was updated on 7/3/2011
Pros: Good practice par 3 course. Brand new baskets/tee pads as of late 2009. Redesign greatly improved an aging course. Good mix of open / wooded. Beginner friendly. The bridges on the back 9 are very well built (late 2010) and new tee signs were installed as well. As the new trees and plants begin to mature, the course is becoming nicer.
Cons: Can be very crowded with casuals on evenings and weekends. Need trash cans or at least buckets on some of the holes on the back 9. Vandalism has become as issue as the basket for hole four was stolen and subsequently replaced with the practice basket. Practice basket has not yet been replaced. A lot of the open holes are pretty boring.
At times, there are "Boot Camp" style workout people running around the course oblivious to the fact that people are throwing discs all around them. Mostly evenings in the summer.

Other Thoughts: This is the park where I started disc golfing. I used to come out here 2-3 times a week when I first started because it was close and I could bust through a round in 45 minutes or so. The course started to get pretty beat up through the years. The redesign couldn't have come at a better time and drastically improved the course.
Good par 3 course for a quick casual round. The front 9 is mostly wide open. The back 9 is short, but you get a good dose of fun woods holes with some cool tunnel shots. Nothing spectacular, but worth the stop as a warm up for Idlewild right down the road.
(7/3/2011 update) A few holes have been redesigned since the original 2009 redesign. #3 now plays a little longer since the basket was moved about 40' farther up the hill. #6 basket was moved a bit to the left to help keep errant throws from going into people's yards. They also planted 2 trees in front of the new basket location that should add some difficulty in the years to come. #13 was completely redesigned, moving the teepad back and closer to the park boundary and the basket farther away and also closer to the boundary. Makes this hole much longer than before with a challenging shot through a tight line to the basket. The pad for #14 was moved forward about 30' and to the left just a bit, with the basket moving left as well. #17's basket was moved out of the reclaimed nature area and to the right making it a little shorter but not terribly different than before. For the most part all changes were for the better, but I'd still rate the course a 3.
Nice park with tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer, bocce, horseshoes, playgrounds, and a cool fort for the kids to play in.
