Alright for Something Close

Pros: -Terrain, trees, and river make for some slightly interesting shots.
-Good amenitites, which includes a putt putt course.
Cons: -Pedestrians come into play often, so avoid weekends if possible.
-A couple tees aren't marked.
-A couple tees aren't flat.
-A couple tees view multiple baskets, which can be confusing.
-Short course.
Other Thoughts: To make this course a good deal funner, I designed an extra 6 hole layout. Here it goes.
Hole A - Tees off just down from basket #1 over both tennis courts to basket #9.
Hole B - Tees off next to basket #7 to basket #5.
Hole C - Tees off halfway down hole 6's fairway from a cement square all the way to basket #3.
Hole D - Tees off from up above basket #4 on the gravel walkway to basket #4.
Hole E - Tees off from close to hole 5's teepad to basket #6.
Hole F - Tees off from close to basket #6 to basket #7.
I know it's not perfect, but I think this new 15 hole layout takes this course from a 2 to 3. It's at least something different. Give it a try if you're there and feel like changing it up.
(Missing basket #9 due to construction. Should be finished around Octoberish 2012.)

What a joke

Pros: Its still a disc golf course. Good place to practice putting and short game. I assume very few people come to this park to disc. The course is yours.
Cons: uneven grass tee pads. Bad signage, needs next tee location on sign. Playground comes into play on hole 1. Hole two a metal fence is directly on the fairway. Hole three tee pad could not be found. Large mound of dirt currently between holes 8 and 9.
Other Thoughts: I was so frustrated after five holes that I left the course.

 Ridge and Furrow

Pros:
Some interesting basket positions, numbers 2, 3, and 5 located on small ridges with furrows on either side.
Cons:
Never did find tees 3 or 5. Multiple chances to interfere with other park users.
Other Thoughts:
Plays up, down, and across a moderately-wooded slope in a multi-purpose park. Most drives from the tee were straight or left-turners. Relatively short - the 300' #6 downhill run towards the river was the longest, and my favourite hole.

Tee #1 is beside the tennis court. For #3 and #5, I went down to the riverside path, and where it splits for a small amount of time, there are four very large trees leaning over the water. From here, #3 is an up/cross slope left-turner, and #5 is straight up a narrow ridge, with trees on either side. Too long on 7 or 9, and you'll be hitting the fences surrounding a tennis court (high school match in play when I was there). Too long on 6 or 8, and you'll find the riverside walking path - or the river!

Pros: Varied terrain added some variety to the notably shorter holes

In a friendly park
Cons: Holes not well marked

Tee markers not in line with holes (hole 8 pointed to hole 9 instead of hole 8)

Hole 4 nowhere to be found
Other Thoughts: The course did have some potential. It was really clumped together with only hole number 6 being notable. Some parts were under construction due to stuff added to the park, but this doesn't make my low rating biased. I rate it a 2 because of the shortness and lack of overall variety, as well as the poor course design.

 If playing Seth Burton, why not visit Clarksburg?

Pros: Nice park facilities. Good elevation changes make the relatively short holes more interesting to play. Once you play this the first time you should be able to play a really quick round here as it's pretty easy to navigate and the holes are fit into a relatively small area.

The course sits on the side of a hill and the holes pretty much alternate going up and down the hill. Most of the holes are nestled inbetween mature trees. And even with all of the trees, the fairways are well defined. A couple hole highlights for me were: #4, a legitimate ace run... slightly up hill, big hyzer (RHBH) and not very long. And #5 plays uphill a good bit, with a somewhat narrow alley between trees. And the landing area around the pin is pretty narrow and drops off to the left and right into gullys. So if your tee shot isn't well placed, you might have to really scramble for a par.

Generally, this is a nice, fun course to play... not particularly hard and not incredibly easy either.
Cons: I couldn't find either the tee or the pin for #3 when I was there. I don't think that I just missed it. Maybe it was vandals?

No opportunities to air it out for big arms (or really even for my very average arm either). And I don't think that the combination of mainly up hill or down hill holes really plays that well for someone just learning the game.
Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed my round here and would play the course again, if my travels take me to the general area. I wouldn't go very far out of my way to play the course, though.

So if you're checking out Seth Burton and Agent Orange in Fairmont, it's not that long of a drive to Clarksburg. And if you're feeling a little beat up from 36 holes in Fairmont, this should allow you to relax a little. Just take it in and enjoy it... you're discin' right?
