Good times!
Pros: Love the layout, lots of elevation change , good exercise !
Cons: Finding a couple holes can be difficult for a first timer . No maps on tee markers.
Other Thoughts: People !! The state park provides us with a free place to play this great game ! Yet we have boneheads that leave their trash laying around and someone was even nice enough to paint a self portrait on a tee marker(pic of male parts) This is how we lose our things!! Please pick up after yourselves!!!

Pros: Course is set in a beautiful park outside of historic Chillicothe OH. If you are passing through the area and have a hankerin to huk the plastic, you would be advised to give this course a go. I would not play this course in the summer or when wet due to the nature of the terrain. In the summer, I imagine the bramble on a few of the holes can easily claim an errant throw and the throw would not have to be that off the mark. Stand out holes include 6, 7, 12, and 14. Number 6 is a long down hill 500 ft shot just to see the pin located up on the hillside to the right. The left side of the fairway is bordered by a creek bed and the right side is bordered by a small slope before rising to a mound aligning most of the fairway. #7 is a another down hill gapper shot to a pin that sets atop a 15 ft mound. Do not over shoot because your disc can slide off the other side. The before mentioned creek meanders through this hole also. You have to keep an eye on your disc in the fall because the leaves are deep. Care is also needed to watch where you are walking since the ground cover is hiding potential ankle busters. #12 is a tight tunnel shot with little room for error. Bramble on the left and right is waiting for off target shots. #14 is a downhill shot with the park road rising on your left and the woods to the right. if your disc gets stuck on the hill sloping down from the road, you can forget about getting a run up for your throw. This is a recurring theme through out part of the course. Due to the terrain you'll often find yourself precariously balancing yourself on a slope trying to make an upshot. After hole 12 there is a little climb up to 13 where there is a bench waiting for the weary. After a brief rest, there is an ace/birdie opportunity waiting for you, a 200 ft plus downhill shot.
There is a good chance you may have the course to yourself, When I played on a weeknight, there were only 2 other cars there. I did see some people on horseback but it was not an issue.

Cons: No teepads. The tee boxes are marked with a sign and a four by four marking the foul line.
Tee signs are expensive looking plaques noting the hole number, distance, and the corporate sponsor of the course. For the money invested in the tee sign material, they could've diagramed the hole and noted the elevation changes. Two or three holes should be thinned to allow for more of an opportunity to reward good shots.

Other Thoughts: I enjoyed this course. Challenging and beautiful scenery. In the summer I imagine the canopy closing in on the majority of the course. Need for caution when trekking off the beaten path.

Nice And Beautiful
Pros: To start it off it is very easy to find. Many signs directing you to the state park. With the map and scorecard at the front it makes it very easy to follow the course and to keep score. All of the baskets are innova discatcher baskets. These are always good. They may not have concrete tees, but they do have nice and flat dirt tees. They had great elevation changes. Most of the time you were never throwing flat. It was always up or down hill. The practice pin is nice and fun to mess around with before you go and play. Normally you could see the basket from the tee, but not always. Almost every hole is different. Some are wide open and ok if you make a mistake, but others are very tight and if you go into the woods you may have some trouble. The big board at the first tee lets you know everything you need to know about the course.
Cons: The one major con that i had here was the hiking trails. Many times you would have to wait for someone to walk through before you could throw. The pedestrians will get in your way alot. You will always need to be aware of this. Getting to the second tee was challenging but the map helped with that. The sign at the tee was not very helpful. All it said was the distance and the par, we already knew that because of the score sheet. There was no map on the sign. On a few of the holes with tight fairways the woods were thick. Finding hole 15 you have to cross a road to get there. Lots of trees are knocked down from here to there so make sure you dont trip.
Other Thoughts: Out of the two courses in Chillicothe this is for sure the better one. If you cant decide between this or the university definately go to this one. They offer much more and overall it is just a nicer course. When i was here there was a deer that ran out in the middle of the fairway so it looks like there is alot of wild life here. All they need to do to make it a nicer course is to just make better signs and seperate the disc golf from the hiking trails. I thought it was very interesting how they had mc'donalds logos all over the signs and on the baskets. That was the first time that i've seen anything like it. So come prepared and watch out for the wild life.

Cons: A couple of the wooded holes are frustrating because you don't know where the pin is and you have to throw through very thick trees and forest growth
If your not in shape, this course will wear you out
Not for beginners

Other Thoughts: I like this course. It's probably on the low end of my Ohio top 10. You would expect a lot of insects but this was not the case any time I have been there. I love most of the wooded holes but the forest is way too dense for me at times (and I prefer wooded holes) It would be nice to see a tunnel or opening to make a flight path strategy. I usually just throw it and hope it goes far before it hits the unavoidable tree. I would suggest it if you live anywhere near it and even for a road trip.

Such Potential 
Pros: This course has the potential to be a top notched course with excellent design and layout. The holes are well thought out....very challenging to players of all levels...and make great use of elevation changes. The spread of hole distances is also great.
It is a tight wooded course so if this type of course is what you like....you will enjoy it thoroughly...if not..move this sentence to the Cons section.
Baskets will hold putts very well and aces. Restrooms near Tee #1 and the disc golf park is situate inside a tremendously beautiful park. The fall of the year here is beautiful and you have ample deer and other wildlife free ranging.

Cons: This park has so much potential it isn't even funny...however...the Cons are pretty hefty. First, it is all natural tee pads. No concrete anywhere. Some tees have roots and sloping issues and all are pretty greasy during or right after a rain.
The soils here don't like water. Not only are the tee pads slippery..but some baskets are situate on hard sloping hillsides that are sometimes very hard to stand still on and hit that 20ft putt. If it rains the day before...wait until another day.
One of the main reasons I rated this a 3.5 and not higher..besides the tee pads...is the fact that in the summer the course closes in. The fairways start to leave the 'fair' out...and little limbs knock down perfect lines. I am a HUGE fan of tight wooded courses..but the lack up work during the summer on this course shows. I'm fairly sure that the Parks Department probably keep the locals from cutting anything...so I wouldn't fault the locals...but some of the fairways need a serious cleaning. Hole #4 needs some small limbs up top cut that have grown in the last few years. Hole #13 is starting to get very tight...Hole #12 is one ugly hole on an otherwise beautiful course.

Other Thoughts: With a concrete teepads, a little gravel on the walkways...a few bridges across the creeks, and a whole lot of trimming the tiny limbs on the sides of large trees...this could be a 4.5 or even 5.0 course. The design is great...the land is great....but with such rustic amenities...it is simply a 3.5.
If you are ever in the area in late fall...you simply have to play this course...if it is wet or the middle of summer...you may want to wait.
