Good, Solid Technical course

Pros: 27 featured holes that are moderately to heavily wooded wth only a couple of real "open" holes. Bathrooms are on site.Two or three permanent tee pads exist at each hole for pro, am and rec players. Baskets are numbered and in decent shape. Pretty good layout with a couple of inspired holes (hole 5 in particular is a cool throw) and good variety. Distances are reasonable. Elevation is nicely implemented into the course. Navigation not particularly tough. Fairways are well-groomed. This course is mostly set apart from other park activities.
Cons: As with the red course, the blue course needs higher quality signage with distance and preferred flight path shown. Original (i.e. shallow) discatcher baskets can spit out putts. Several tee pads are slick at times and others are showing their wear and need work. More "next tee" navigational arrows would be helpful.
Other Thoughts: The "Blue" course combines 18 holes with 9 additional "XC" holes for a 27 hole total. Many people like this course better than the Red course for its technicality and reasonable distances. It has a decidedly more "disc golf feel" to it than the red course for its seclusion from other areas of the park. Wind not quite the factor it is here as it is across the park on the Red course and water not a factor at all. Overall, a nice playing experience.

Plan a day (or weekend) here! 
Pros: Lots of holes! 3 tee boxes per hole. Pleasant surroundings. Definitely a MUST play if you're nearby.
Cons: Course not well marked. No course maps, nor hole details at the tee box. At least it's a nice park and I didn't mind wandering around (or back-tracking) looking for the next hole.
Other Thoughts: Red course is wide open - good for beginners.
Blue course is a bit tighter.
Best way to play 18 here is start on the back 9 of the blue course then hit the X holes...these are by far the best 9!

Pros: course is set in a really nice park. plenty of variation in holes; some up hill, some down hill, some flat, lots of trees, little trees, etc. three tees to every hole.
Cons: the course was a little hard to navigate, no tee signs or maps, although there was an arrow on some of the baskets (not all) the pro tees seem to be designed by a lefty, so if you are, they are great! but im not. and it wasnt just a few lefty holes, it was every single pro tee...tight tunnel shot with a right turn after about 2-300ft....too repetitive...back nine were hard to find from the original 18, unless you can read a map well....you have to play them off of #15 or so otherwise you will have to walk back to play them...
Other Thoughts: i would definitely go back to this course again! didnt have time to check out the red course, but would like to next time! course maps available at parking lot...place definitely needs tee signs tho!!

Pros: First off, Codorus is really two separate 18 hole courses and another two separate 9 hole courses. They are designed such that you can play 27 hole loops, but the 9 hole courses are much more challenging than their 18 hole counterparts. Most, if not all, holes have 3 tees: Rec, Am and Pro. Some tees are asphalt, but most have been converted to flypad. This course requires a variety of shots, some power, and good control. Most of the Cons listed in reviews are unfounded. Almost every basket has an arrow pointing you to the next tee that hangs from under the basket.
Cons: Any teepad in the shade is likely to be slippery. Course needs more love from the park - debris removal, repainting of baskets, and shuffling of pin positions - there are alternates!
Other Thoughts: Easily worth the hour drive from Baltimore escape the routine of druid/rock/ptap. Shooting 54 from the long tees is a challenge!

Pros: Tons of variety overall. Elevation, narrow fairways, open fairways, plenty of trees. I loved all the vegetation but wasn't overpowering to the point where I lost any discs if I strayed off the fairway. Really enjoyed the elevation changes and the baskets were nice.
Cons: Nothing really, however it looked like the landscaping wasn't as nice as it was when I played here last summer.
Other Thoughts: Great course, had a blast playing on a perfect day. I enjoyed this course better than the Red course. I like the narrow fairways and trees aka dream smashers.

Best course at the Park Other Thoughts: this was the better course of the two. It was separated more from the rest of the park and it felt like it's own thing. On the other course (red) it felt more like you were in the way of other activities such as... PARKING!

Beautiful and Challenging
Pros: Challenging course mostly in the woods around Codorus State Park.
Cons: Not always clear were the next hole was. (Even with a map.)
Other Thoughts: I would have preferred to play the more open Red Course first. The Blue Course is more technical with shorter holes. Very nice none the less.

Blue Ribbon for the Blue Course! 
Pros: What a fun place to play disc golf! I thoroughly enjoyed myself here, as I especially enjoyed the fact that the immense challenge of navigating the tightly wooded holes is balanced with some nice risk/reward ace runs! #12 comes to mind as a great ace race hole.
This place is definitely very pretty -- especially for such a wooded and technical course. I love how the trees just pop up out of the lush greens on the fairways. Underbrush is virtually nonexistent on many holes. The trees aren't foreboding hardwoods like on other wooded courses; they're just big and scraggly enough to attract your disk and send it in a different direction!
- Finding the course isn't tough at all (it's right off PA-216) and the navigation of the course layout is very intuitive.
- Clearly a dedicated and resourceful disc golf community maintains the course. It's evident from the teepads, signage, disc kiosk, and upkeep of all other elements on the course. Locals are very friendly and happy to see people visiting from so far away (~3 hours in my case). Parking is also ample for both courses.
- Nice mix of pro, amateur, and rec tees that would satisfy people from Climo to a family new to the game.
- The design of the course requires a lot of thought and execution on the holes. Doglegs, uphill shots with tree obstacles, blind downhill drives, and tightly wooded fairways are just some of the things you can expect here. Make sure to bring all of your trick shots with you!
- #5 and 6 are the best holes IMO on the course. The former is a long blind drive downhill with a nice vista of the lake -- nothing too fancy but a great chance to air out your disc on a predominantly wooded course. The latter is an uphill drive with tons of tiny trees peppered throughout the fairway. A fantastic hole for rollers!
- Feels more like a disc golf course than a state park. That is, the course is so serene and natural that the picnic benches, walkways, and other objects do not detract from a nice round.

Cons: The place can get very crowded. I played late in the morning on a weekday and there will teams, duos, and people navigating the course -- to the point where you experience gridlock.
- The course is almost too wooded. Especially on the back nine, it seems like the holes begin to repeat themselves a little bit. I wish some of the red course holes were in the blue one and vise versa. This place would easily be a 4.5 or 5 with a water hazard and a couple open-air bomb shots.
- Some holes play dangerously close to the road. I almost hyzered my first drive onto the road -- an errant throw that was mostly my fault, but the risk of hitting a car is always there.
- The extra 9 holes (CC or XX or whatever they are)
can be difficult to find at first, although it's worth it one you do find them!

Other Thoughts: Excluding Tyler, of course, this is the best PA state park course I've played to date. I've been waiting to play here quite some time now, and it was definitely worth the long drive. Make a day out of it like I did and bring a lunch to enjoy between courses! Make sure to check out the other amenities and recreation opportunist at Codorus while you're here!

The 9 X-holes 
Pros: This is close to true par 4 golf. You will not reach the green with your drive on most of the holes. There is nice elevation change. The setting is great ... the fairways are beautifully defined with majestic trees. One of the best 9 hole layouts you will find.
Cons: No water comes into play. No worries ... there is plenty of water on the other courses.
Other Thoughts: This rating is for the X-holes only. They seem like a different course than the original 18 blue course holes. I would vote to have them listed as a separate 9 hole course.
