Enjoyable, Midrange 9-Hole Game 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 23, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is clear of dangerous hazards, and seems to be maintained well. Some branches on the ground, but it's not an obstacle.

Great mid-range throws; helps hone that mid-range game. I played with discs that I do not normally focus on in regular play.

Cons:

Sure, it's short. You can see the whole course from any point standing. It doesn't get too technical. It has some good tree gaps, but nothing to challenge your skill level.

Really the only course around; I drove out of my way to get here, and it wasn't really worth it. I only liked to get another course on my list.

Other Thoughts:

If this were close to where I lived, I would play it more often to try out new discs and practice putting. It's great for the local community.

If you happen to be traveling Route 23, it's not far from the highway. Stop by and spend an hour. I had fun.

Introduction to disc golf 101 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 15, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good teepads (appropriate for the course)
Nice baskets
Signs with yardage
Basket "next tee" arrows are correct
Well maintained park
Someone put an effort into putting a disc golf course in a small out of the way town
A really good way to introduce people to the game

Cons:

Could have some more shot shaping but don't know if possible with the land available

Other Thoughts:

Is this a destination course, absolutely not, should you stop and play it if you happen to be in the area, yes. You only need a putter to play the course, one hole is 300ish but a putter is still fine.

The course uses every available inch in the park for all 9 holes, was easy to navigate and find the holes next basket. It's a course that could be played by anyone and enjoyed. A good deal of effort went into setting this up with little resources and I have a soft spot for courses like that, seems like ones like these reminds me of what disc golf is really about.
