The ultimate mini experience 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 31, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is the mini course that all minis should strive to be like. But with the amount of space here, it should be! Unlike all the other courses we had seen this day, this spot had the ability to give you many multiple shots.

- Water holes. Water came into play several times, including one hole where you throw from a dock and over a small pond.

- Hole creativity. Have you ever had to throw a hole where you had to go through a covered bridge? Here you do.

- Elevation. You'll hike up some hills for a few holes.

- Open and woods -- plenty of each.

- Owner is friendly and will likely play a round with you. Ask about the history, too!

- Baskets. All are excellent and you get a history lesson throughout as some of them are the owners original prototypes, too. Way cool.

Cons:

Nothing that would take away from the experience. Maybe tee signs (I'm a tee sign guy... I really like seeing them as I think they can add to the experience of the course).

Other Thoughts:

This is the ultimate of mini disc golf experiences. Join the mini disc golf federation when here. Chat with the owner. Play the course and have a good time. Donnie has done a lot of great work on this course and from the way he talked when we played with him, it's only going to get better. I really look forward to seeing this course many times in the future as a proud member of the MDGF!

Home of Mini Disc Golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The layout of the holes is such that you can create a course within the 2 courses. Playing the holes in a different order adds additional challanges. Lot's of elevation changes and some nice signature holes. While playing the course you can see the evolution of the mini disc basket from it's creation in the barn to the state of the art stainless steel rock The Chains baskets.

Cons:

I don't really see any cons except as the others have said no course map. That said, the owner will show you the layout and once you have played it a couple of times, it's easy to figure out.

Other Thoughts:

Course owner Donnie Brooks is a friendly and knowledgable person who wants to see the sport of Mini Disc Golf grow.

Mini Disc Golf Mecca 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great course for every level player. Lots of scenery that creates obsticles at different times of year. (Corn fields, snow, Fall) There is a covered bridge that you throw THREW the bridge OR the windows! The bridge is over water too! The course is full of short and long distance holes that gives you the option of all kinds of different types of throws with different types of discs. You can really use what is in your bag on this course.

Baskets are excellent and range from original design to current state of the art "rock the chains" mini-disc fun stainless steel baskets.

There are elevation challenges throughout the course and even a large goat pen to throw over!

The owner Donnie Brooks has always taken time to walk me around and play when ever I've stopped by to play. He knows everything there is to know about Mini Disc Golf. This is a course you MUST NOT MISS if you are in the area.

Cons:

No map on course. Need owner to show you around and lay of the land.

Other Thoughts:

If you ask Donnie Brooks anything about Disc Golf he will be happy to tell you what he knows. He has show me different ways to hold and throw a disc and the difference in discs and so much history of many different discs. He is "THE DISC MAN!"
