The Best Course in Louisville area

Pros: A great mix holes, elevation changes, wooded holes, tunnels, and open holes. Well marked tees and baskets, Concrete pro tees, and even a course map by hole one.
Cons: Really the only con about this course is the mosquitoes and ticks, which can be extremely thick, and if you don't layer yourself in bug spray you will be eaten alive. My bag was completely covered in mosquitoes instantly after I sat it on the ground, and if you don't wear bug spray you will find hundreds if not thousands of mosquitoes swarming you making it impossible to play. Hole 5's pro tee is still under water, I understand it is getting fixed though.
Other Thoughts: This course is well maintained, difficult to play, yet still open enough that beginners can get the feel for the sport. Beside the bug problem this is what a disc golf course is suppose to be. I have to say after spending a week playing in Georgia the Louisville Disc Golf club does a great job with the local courses, great signs and tees, great courses and great maintenance. I spent two days on a course in Georgia that had two 18 courses side by side and not a single tee marked, most holes didin't even have a sign directing you to the next tee, thanks LDGC for the amazing job you do with the local courses.

Pros: I need to go ahead and get my opinion out of the way.... this is the best course in the Louisville area. Now, let's review :)

The pro pads are concrete with excellent signage. So far this year the grass has stayed mowed and the fairways have stayed clear (not bad for a free course). The parks department has done a great job with the park and it always looks immaculate. There are bridges that pass over the water/muddy areas and anytime work needs to be done to pads/fairways, it gets done quickly. The layout of the course circles the entire park and takes full advantage of everything the property has to offer. There is a great mix of shots and no hole is a gimme. My favorite thing about this course is that all the holes play and feel like golf holes and not just novelty holes.
Cons: There are a few things that I think need to be worked out with this course that really don't effect the overall presentation of the course itself.
First, the Am/Womens pads are still rubber and in my opinion are placed in such a way that they do not help to level out the playing field at all and in some cases they can actually make the hole harder. As many people already know hole 5's pad has sunk into the depths of the creek. I know this will be fixed when it dries out but I still need to mention it. Because of the removal of the brush, hole 12 can be a mud pit after a good rain. Not sure that this can be fixed.
Mosquitoes!!! (and ticks) Bring the OFF!
Once the lake drains this problem will not be so bad.
Other Thoughts: The course is long but time will fly by when you play here. I have had many multiple game days at this course and I can't get enough of it. This course has tons of personality and every hole can make or brake your round. I hope you enjoy this course as much as I do. Good job to the designers/creators.

Pros: There is a good combination of distance and short holes. Most of the shorter holes are narrow and require technical acumen for birdie.

#1 is the most wide open of the short holes and it has a basket placement near the top of a drop-off to the rear that can take you down about 10-12' in elevation..
#2 is a par four that, from the long pad, crosses a ravine with trees. Clear the ravine and try to avoid going too far to the left or you'll have no second shot. You will likely throw a hyzer (for a RHBH) around a large grouping of trees towards a narrowing downhill tunnel. Go too far right before you hyzer and you could be OB.

#3 is a short downhill tunnel shot with OB to the left (not very deep in the trees,) wrapping around behind the basket.

#4 is another par 4, slightly uphill. Tee shot from the longs must turn right, and there is a mando to the right of the fairway and OB to the left if your drive stays straight. You second shot will have to contend with a grouping of trees in the middle of the fairway. The best route is to the right, but if your drive gets too far to the left there is a small alley.

#5 is a par 3 that is not long, but plays longer than it appears because the basket is set atop the end of an earthen dam, about 10 feet higher in elevation than the teepad. While it's a fairly straight shot, there is OB to the right, a large tree that can affect your second shot if you're too far left and short, and the earthen dam is only about 5 or 6 feet wide at the spot of the basket--it drops off the back side as severely as the front.

#6 is a tunnel shot down the rest of the earthen dam. While there is trouble to either side, f you get off to the right you can have virtually no shot.

#7 Is currently a par 3, but will become a par 4 any day now once the concrete for the new sleeve can be poured. The hole is somewhat uphill. There are two large groupings of mature pines, and your tee shot should split those. The second shot, on the existing basket, forces you to go around another smaller grouping of trees that is centered around a tall dead tree. When the basket is moved it will lie behind a wall of pines that are currently about 6 to 8 feet tall. There is a small gap to walk through them, but the shot you play will most likely be over the trees.

#8 is a slight downhill, fairly narrow, with potential thick rough on either side.

#9 is probably the most difficult of the par 4s. Your drive crosses a road (OB) that also lines the right side of the fairway (and becomes a parking lot, obviously, also OB. There is a mando to the left. Get too far to the left and near the mando and you may not have a second shot. When you go around the mando, it is virtually a 90 degree left turn into a narrow fairway. The basket is tucked up on a slight hill to the right.

#10 is the only hole from the original course to survive intact. It is a short, narrow shot that crosses a small ditch. The basket is just right of dead center, but is well-guarded by trees.

#11 is a short par 4, but very challenging. The drive is a fairly short one that goes only slightly to the right with a landing area. From there, the fairway drops down about 4 feet down a little ditch and turns right. This portion of the fairway is narrow and has numerous trees with which to content. The basket is slightly up a hill to the right.
Your drive can turn the corner right of the landing area and drop down the ditch leaving you about a 100' or so to the basket, but doing so is almost blind luck in regards to what kind of line you may have to get to the basket.

#12 is a short, straight shot that comes out of a tunnel about 10' wide and about 40 or 50' deep. There is a tree about 15 feet in front of the left side of the teepad that gives me fits (I throw lefty forehand.) The fairway then widens to about 40 or 50' wide, with the basket on the right side of the fairway. If you miss the basket to the right you will likely drop down a hill about 8 or 10 feet and may be in trees that make it difficult to have a shot.

#13 is a slightly uphill shot with two routes.The right lane is somewhat longer, but is more open. Go to the left and you have a shorter route; however, if you get too far left you will be in trees and may not have a shot.

#14 is a slightly downhill shot that turns almost 90 degrees around a large pine tree back into a cove cut out of the woods (most of which are pines. Spike hyzers tend to work for bigger arms, but there are trees to contend with if you get too far to the right trying to lay out to make the turn.

#15 is the 1011 ft. monster par 5 (800 from the am pads, with yet a 3rd pad at around 600.) The basket is about even with the teepad as far as elevation, however, you have two rolling hills down the fairway, and the last shot to the basket will possibly be uphill. The fairway slopes from right down to the left. The left side of the fairway is thick rough the entire way (and if you get deep enough in it, there is a fence that is OB.) There are two softball backstops to the right of the fairway, and going farther right than them will be OB. Near the end of the fairway there is a mando. The mando is actually sitting OB, but it keeps you from throwing a large hyzer that would go over a parking lot. There are two trees in the middle of the fairway about 70 or 80 feet from the basket; the one to the right is a tall, mature sycamore and the one to the left is a smaller, thicker tree. If you hit the smaller tree, your disc will not go through it (and may not even come down--it has the thickness of a weeping cherry, but it's bigger and it's some other kind of tree.)

#16 is a downhill shot. The basket is set in a line of mature pine trees. If you go too far there is OB behind the basket, but that rarely comes into play.

#17 Goes slightly uphill, then there is a flat area just below a hill that elevates about 15 feet. Most discs will land in this flat area. There is a parking lot right of the basket about 20' that is OB.

#18 was originally considered a par 4, but after our pros were getting pretty close to the basket it was reclassified as a 3--it is a difficult 3. The teeshot is downhill through a tunnel. Go too far straight down the hill (or let it turn left once the fairway opens up,) and there is a fence that is OB. The fairway opens up wide at the bottom of the hill and turns right. There is a small stream that runs from about the end of the fence all the way down the left side of the fairway that is OB. The basket is about 20 or 30 feet from the stream tucked under trees.
Cons: The course drains well in most places, but there are still some problems, particularly the #5 pro pad, which is often under water after hard rains. There have been two small footbridges put in to begin and end #4 that allow you to clear the water.

The course still needs places to sit. There are no benches, other than the shelter houses beside the #13 and 16 teepads. (There is a water fountain at both of these places, as well.)

Ticks and mosquitoes are extremely thick at times--bug spray is strongly suggested.

Some of the paths could use mulch to cover the mud.

Most of the problematic areas are scheduled to be, or will soon be addressed.
Other Thoughts: The course has undergone another transformation. There are three holes that will receive new pin placements in preparation for the 2012 US Masters, which will be played here and other courses in the Louisville area and all holes will be renumbered, with the front nine becoming the back nine and vice versa.
Instead of pulling into the parking area just below the barn-like shelter house, now drive all the way through the park to the very back parking area and begin on what was initially #10.
The holes that will be changed are the new #12, 16, and 17 (previously 3, 7, and 8.)
#12 (old #3,) originally was set slightly left of center at the end of the tunnel with a group of trees and a drainage ditch that does not always have water behind it. A gap has been opened through those trees and the basket will be across the small foot bridge slightly to the right instead of the left, adding about 50-60 feet. Furthermore, there is a road about 25 feet beyond the basket that will bring OB into play if you go for it and fly it.
#16 (old #7) will have the most significant change. Whereas the original pin placement went around a grouping of undergrowth around a dead tree requiring a hyzer shot, the new pin placement is beyond the pine trees that are at the back of the current fairway. A gap has been cut through the trees but for several years they will be low enough to go over them. The basket is about 100 past the trees and tucked in a difficult location far more to the right than the original placement. This hole will now be classified as a par 4.
#17 (old #8,) will move about 75 or so feet farther. The new basket will be behind a fairly large tree that currently sits behind the basket. There has been some clearing out of trees and rough to the right of the end of the fairway to accommodate but the hole will still be far harder than the original setup.

Pros: Great course! You can air it out on several holes and the woods provide a technical balance.
Cons: Some holes are too open which is a liabiltiy for ams (vs. pros).
Other Thoughts: This course is a lot of fun with a variety of rbh, turnover, sidearm, and elevation change shots. This course has it all!

 Great redesign

Pros: The redesign here took a ho hum course and made one that is challenging and fun. The course is a mix of grassy areas with brushy rough, some tightly wooded holes, and a couple open field shots including a 1000' monster. The terrain available is used quite well, there is a nice mix of uphill and downhill shots and there are a few nice tricky pin placements with good roll away possibility.

The coure plays pretty balanced between right and left turning shots. You'll need to hit different lines to score well here, and thick rough comes into play on most holes so you'll need some tricks to get out of trouble. I liked the mix of hole lengths, with some ace runs and some bombers with a good variety between.
Cons: The tees felt a little small, especially on the longer holes. The am pads are tiny rubber pads that aren't laid well. They are often lumpy and not level, and most don't offer any very different lines from the concretes. It looked like some holes had alternate sleeves for basket placements, none of these were marked on the signs (though it's hard to tell with all the sleeves still in the ground from the previous layout). Several areas of the course held water, including one tee (4 I think) that was completely under water, hopefully as the grass grows in the course will drain better.
Other Thoughts: I think it's great that the course was redesigned, and it improved the course quite a bit. Beginners will find the course a little tough, even from the short tees, especially with the thick thorny rough. More experienced players will find some really nice challenges, and good variety with bombers, tunnel shots and lots in between.

 Vast Improvement

Pros: HUGE improvement over the previous course layout.
-Flow from hole to hole is very good, with signs pointing to the next tee.
-Signs are fantastic.
-Good variety of different types of holes: wooded, open, left, right, flat, hilly.
-I really appreciated the addition of the 1000 ft hole on 15, after playing half the course through a technical wooded area, it was nice to rip a few.
-Teepads were good.
-I'm not sure if it was because we played this course in early April as opposed to summer, but the thorny rough never came into play at all. This is significant because the old Cavan layout had some of the nastiest rough I've ever seen.
-Has several "interesting" basket placements (on slopes, on ridges) that provide risk/reward opportunities.
-Some really nice "signature" type holes (all of the par 4s were fantastic, IMO)
-Inclusion of Am pads is nice, even if only rubber (was it just me or were most of the Am pads pretty close to the Pro pads?)
-We played right after a downpour, and drainage was good. Not much puddling.
-Park is well kept and regularly mowed.
Cons: -While you can practice putt on 18s basket, there's really nowhere to warm up your arm or practice driving before your round.
-This course has more tunnel shots than any course I've ever played. I think I counted 6 or more. They started feeling repetitive.
-The course makes a big loop around the park, so once you leave your car, you won't be back until you've played all 18.
-No benches.
Other Thoughts: I was bouncing between a rating of 3.5 and 4.0 for this course. Ultimately, I decided that this new layout is comparable in quality and enjoyability (is that a word?) to Vettiner and New Iroquois, and gave it the same rating that I gave those courses.

Pros: I grew up in New Albany just a few miles from Georgetown and never knew about this course until about two weeks ago. This course is awesome. Good mix of holes. Some longs shots, curvy shots, and hallways. I loved the 1000 footer! I'll be returning ASAP.
Cons: n/a

Pros: - Seviren Lang provides variety in both style and length throughout its 18-hole layout. The first 7 holes wend in and out of small copses of trees, some with thick undergrowth that definitely will add strokes if the fairway is missed. The middle of the course is comprised of tightly defined fairways, again with some punishing rough. Finally, the
course opens up again for the massive #15 and finishes near the parking lot.
- This course claims to have several true par 4's and 5's. Usually I ignore these and play everything as a par 3, but on this course, they just might have a case for a higher par. Several of these holes can be brutal if you miss your line. #15, clocking in at over 1000', will slap your momma and call you Sally if you miss the fairway and land in the extremely thick schule to the left (which is easier to do than it looks). The rough in some places can cost 2 strokes just to hack through it trying to regain the fairway.
- Good concrete pads for pro tees, rubber pads for ams.
- Signage for the most part is good. Next tee signage as needed.
- Bathrooms, water fountains, etc. on site.
Cons: - Am tees do not have tee signs.
- Some holes had large concentrations of tree stumps. Watch your step or risk tripping and/or stubbing a toe.
- The park-style layout coupled with the nearby suburban homes detracted a small amount from the natural beauty, in my opinion, but does not affect discing in any way.
Other Thoughts: - Perhaps not a valid con, but there just didn't seem to be any signature hole or holes that stood out as unique or otherwise outstanding (#6 and #15 came the closest). Every hole was solid and fun, just not spectacular.

Pros: Great course design with a good mix of open and tight holes as well as challenging forehand and backhand shots. The use of the natural elevations is great.
Cons: Rubber teepads one hole was challenging due to weather. Would love to see a practice basket and more restroom facilities, but these are only minor requests to an already outstanding course and park!
Other Thoughts: Tremendous redesign of a course that before hand I had no desire to play to know I want to play it all the time. Superb job to all who helped but especially Adam Higdon for helping to make our sport better.

Pros: Seviren Lang is a very fun challenging course that winds in and out of open, tree lined, and wooded fairways. The layout has great flow and circles the park so that you will face the wind from all directions throughout the round. The par four's can easily be reached for a birdie three, but basket placements make them harder than they look, either way they are a blast to play. Holes 4 and 7 are signature holes that play around giant pines. The course has great variety with alot of different shot's for all types of golfers.
Cons: Hate to complain about fresh concrete pads but a few seem just a tad short for my liking. The chains on these baskets are super light causing more than normal spitouts. I thought I was crazy but it was a topic of conversation during league rounds and I think they are working on the standard heavy chains. None of this should differ you from the course.
Other Thoughts: The best course in the Lousiville area, the design takes full advantage of what area the park has. The mix of par three's and four's and the lone five make this course fun for all skill levels.
