Broughton's - Sasquatch is the hard compliment to the Big Buckeye Course on the same grounds ( taking the place of the previous old 9 hole course ) The all woods course is located on the hill next to the far end of the parking lot , up the gravel road . You will see an 8 1/2 by 11" laminated picture of a Sasquatch pinned to a tree to show you where to walk into the woods . Confusion might set in right away as you see a basket about 100' into the woods you entered . That is the #18 basket ( I thought it was a putting basket ) . If you travel a little farther in front of you , you will see the first tee . The tees are gravel and the baskets are very general , but catch well . I suspect some of them are from the old 9 hole course that was previously here . The is signage on most of the holes , but they are laminated small drawings with the hole number , distance and primitive flight path of your drive . The DG face page says that Dr. Jim Morgan was the course designer , and he did a very good job . I would prefer a few more trees cut out for the fairways and maybe some rock steps , but that may come in time since this course is only a year old . I am only reviewing as to what I see now . The 18 hole course plays kind of out and back , with a couple of downhills and a couple of uphills . but mostly rolling and on the side of a large hill . This course has West Virginia - like elevation . You are never on the level here . Print the map , although it didn't do me much good . There are pretty good pathways to the next holes , and red markings on logs and trees along with ribbons help mark the fairways and paths , too . Some steep climbs are needed , and some steps cut out of the dirt help a lot . This is NOT a cart friendly course . Once up on the hill , your amenities end . No benches , water ( pack water ) , trash cans ( carry in what you carry out ) , or bathrooms . . What you DO get is about 90-100 minutes ( solo ) of pure technical disc golf to play . You can rarely say anything bad about a park that offers 2 18 hole disc golf courses that start within about 200 yards of each other . This course will test your endurance and skills with every hole . Some of the longer holes are located near the end ( 666' #15, 620' #16 and 433' #17 . #18 is a nice tight finishing downhill throw at the basket you first saw when you came in . I was only tripped up once on the navigation ( #15 ) of this course . . My signature hole would be #1 . Great starter hole that starts straight , then fades right , dropping a little downhill while your drive dodges trees mostly to your right , 303' .

I know that this course is brand new , but I have to address a couple of the issues , anyway . #1. Better tee signs , and maybe NEXT TEE signs to help out of towners and non locals out . #2 This course could be downright dangerous after a good rain since it plays on such extreme elevation . #3 Course still needs some brush , trees and logs removed , but I imagine that it will progress . #4 No amenities once you walk up the gravel driveway to the course . #5 Disc Risk : Even though there is not a lot of rough on the course , the fact that you are playing sideways a lot on the course means that you can throw a blind shot drive , have it pop up from a stick or rock , and roll downhill 150' . #6 . Even though the hole #18 basket puts you almost right at the entrance to and from the woods , it poses a danger if someone is walking onto the course and someone has teed off on the hill , since the tee pad is a blind spot and the first timer walking on is oblivious to where the downhill disc is coming from . Since the 18 hole is already completed , I have a solution . If the local disc club can find a cheap bell , maybe install it near the entrance to the course and have a direction next to it telling people walking onto the course to ring it to alert the disc players on 18's tee to hold up .

I played the Mountwood Monster last night which is years older than Sasquatch , but I gave Sasquatch a higher score because it is so much further along . Where can you go wrong in a park that boasts 2 courses ?! Lots of hard work and thought went into this course and I suspect it will pay off in the near future . I expect a tournament here at some time , maybe a fundraiser ? I may come back to play this course in 2020-21 to see how much it has progressed , and update my review. The large park itself is well maintained and the staff is nothing but friendly . My recommendation : If anywhere in the Parkersburg area , spend a half day for these courses and PLAY IT !!
