Pros:
Easy to access off of US 220 in Bedford, PA. In a nice area. Lots of places to eat very close-by in Bedford (That one's for you Greg.). There's a porta-pottie beside tee #1. Brand new Innova chains. It's only 15 minutes from a totally different 9 at Shawnee State Park.
Length that will let you really grip and rip it on a few holes. I got to throw five 100% tee shots and three nearly 100% "driver" approaches. In spite of the open ground that makes up a lot of the course, the pin placements make your shot selection important. There are several right turning holes that really make this "RHBH" player work to get close to the pins. So there are opportunities for me to throw a forehand (if I learn it better) and rollers too.
A creek comes into play along several fairways and pins. Pins #2 & 3 basically sit on peninsulas and the proximity of the other pins to fences, the creek, etc. make accurate approach shots critical. You have to work your tee shots & approaches around the OB blue track on #8 & 9.

Cons:
Because of the available ground, the course is almost totally flat and there's only one hole that would be called "wooded." In different sports seasons, the whole course could basically be unplayable since it plays around, on and over practice and playing fields.
Other Thoughts:
This course was basically set up for a school disc golf club and I think that this is fantastic. In spite of some of the limitations posed by the grounds, I really enjoyed this course a lot and will defintely play it again and again. I was fortunate and had the designer as a guide the first time I went around. (Thanks B.) I would definitely print the map to help find your way around the course. Or P.M. if you like.
Highlights: #2 & #3 pins are lot of fun to get close to without getting wet. #5 is the only wooded hole and it gives you several routes into the pin. #6 for the sheer joy of getting to rip two 100% drives.
If you're driving along the PA Turnpike at Bedford, you shouldn't pass up the opportunity to play this course. It's only about 5 minutes into town.
