Classic New England woods course lovingly carved out of a forest and around/among a working Christmas tree farm. A mix of open and wooded holes on a par 60 that will challenge intermediate amateurs from the long tees and be a good test for recreational players and a fine introduction to beginners from the shorts.

Teeboxes: Well-constructed turf tees built up on crushed stone and sand on all holes on the long layout. Level and well-sized, the room for a full run-up and follow through. The turf appears to be recycled from a soccer field and occasionally has sidelines. The short layout is tees are mostly just flags in the fairway but are level and safe to throw on. Once the short layout is 'finalized' the short tees will be improved.

Baskets: Innova DiscCatchers baskets catch just fine. Blue band stands out well both in the open and in the woods. Raised baskets on four holes (2, 16, 17, & 18) provide a bit of a challenge. All the greens are fair and free of gimmicks.

Variety: From open bombers (14) to tight tunnel shots (13), Allen Tree Farm seems to have a bit of everything, including forcing some risk/reward decisions. Navigating the approach to hole 15 comes to mind: lay up for par, or risk the disc-eating swamp.

Maintenance: The owners live on the property and play often, it shows in the care of this course. Also, the regulars / volunteers take pride in the place, rare to see any trash out here at all.

Signage and wayfaring: Still a bit minimal, but adequate. The course flows logically, not a major problem getting around for first-timers, but room for signage improvement. There are "next" pointers on each basket if you look for it. The UDisc Smart Layout is accurate and helps first-timers.

Lost Discs Returned: Not any excessive risk of lost discs, and anything that ends up in the swamp at 15 seems to be found during the next dry spell. Mostly everyone promptly calls the owner of a lost disc.

Pace of Play: Seems to move along pretty well here, even in full tournaments or busy league night. It's a big property but most rounds take a bit over two hours for me.

Community: A good group on Wednesday league night most weeks, friendly to beginners, women, and rec players.

Cart Friendly: Except for a couple of spots in wet conditions, carts do fine out here.

Terrain: Flat by New England standards but some interesting use of the subtle elevation. Hole 16 is short but uphill to a basket set in an apple tree. Hole 17 par four is a downhill drive across a wet area then uphill to a basket on a mound.

Still a new course, not much in the way of amenities. The course could really use a portopotty. I'm sure this will be addressed.

No pro shop, though Dark Hollow Disc is there most league nights and will probably have something that will fit your needs.

Maybe not the distance and difficulty to challenge pros, advanced ams might have a birdie fest, but I wouldn't really know.

2023 was an exceptionally wet year, the mud was pretty bad on a couple of the holes after some big rains.

A pay-to-play is an excellent value of $10 per round or $100 per year. It's basically the honor system, but please pay. All revenue goes into course improvement.
Not as famous as the Christmas Tree Farm course an hour to the east, but a worthy destination stop on route to Maple Hill.
