I would like to give the course a 2.75. While there is no elevation change, there are tons of trees to negotiate. Add to that the snow/ice or extensive mud/large puddles on the ground after bad weather. Nothing easy, at least not for me.

I like that the holes get progressively harder as you go along, but (from the red tees) there is nothing that is oppressive or demoralizing.

As the holes get longer, the ability to throw harder becomes more doable. If not the initial threading through close trees, then the second shot.

It is a tight course, and the signage leaves something to be desired. If you don't print the course map photo from this website, take a picture of it at tee no. 1. You will need it on your first visit.

Also note the next-tee arrows on each teepad sign. I only spotted a few yellow arrow next-tee signs against the base of trees. Plastic red-arrow clip-ons have been added to the basket trays; that helps greatly.

The condition and composition of the tee pads vary and some are quite poor. Vary from a raised concrete pad to a gravel pit or nothing but wooden markers in the dirt. Some of the tees have ball-golf driving range mats on them.

There is only one bench at hole no. 1 and small table-like one-person perches at 10 and 13, I believe. Not great, but better than nothing. You can also sit on fallen trees...

Biggest problem IMHO is that the drainage is truly non-existent. Not sure the man-made channel near 2's basket and 7's blue tee/footbridge is actually doing much.

You will have to pay April-October to get into the park and then another fee tor the disc golf course. I will play it mostly fall and winter, but when I do come in spring and summer, will also hike (winding, peaceful trails; one comes through the disc golf course) and swim in the water park (summer). Make the parking fee cover more than one activity.

Very large, very serene regional park off the beaten path. Lovely setting. There is camping here too, for you travelers and local folks just getting away for the weekend.

I'm not sure there was a B basket for any of the front 9 holes, but I believe there was one for all of the back 9 ones. Sometimes the B basket is actually easier to play to. Unless they are really far apart (e.g. at no. 12), you get no extra stroke in the par.

In winter, the gate into the park closes by perhaps 5pm. If there are campers, the out gate is open. So you won't get locked in. But you may want to start earlier than 3pm to get in your round without rushing and while you can still see where your disc landed!

The course is located in Bull Run Regional Park, a very nice, beautiful park open to the public. If you wanted to make a day of it, there are plenty of hiking trails and activities in the park.

While I'll get to the front nine in the "cons", I really enjoyed the back nine holes. They form a circle around the edge of the course, and offer some interesting holes. I particularly enjoyed the straight shots on 11 and 12 along the road (a straight throw is rewarded), as well as the wooded 13th and 14th holes.

As this is a shorter course by today's standards, it's a good course for both beginners (playing from the white or red tees) and advanced players (with some tricky drives from the blue tees).

The existing baskets are in good shape, and the back nine has double sets (shorter white and longer blue baskets).

There is plenty of parking right at the course, and the start of holes 1 and 10, as well as the baskets for 9 and 18 are all within a few hundred feet of each other along the parking lot.

If you play from the white tees, there are several ace runs, especially on the front nine.

The scenery is beautiful, especially in the fall. I started playing disc golf to get into nature more often while sporting, and this is a beautiful little course in a beautiful park.

My biggest issue with the course was the first nine holes. They are quite confusing and don't follow a logical order from basket to the next tee. On the back nine, the basket is close to the next tee and flows in a sensible direction. The front nine does not. For example, after hole two, you have to cross a small ditch to get to three, where as there are a few other tees nearby. After basket 4, there is a tee right next to you, but that is 13. After 7, you walk halfway back up the fairway to get to 8, but tee 9 is right next to basket 7. If I didn't have a photo of the map (a large sign is at tee 1), I'd have been very confused.

The sign shows three tee boxes and two baskets for each hole, but the front nine only has white baskets. The back nine has both. If you wanted to keep score, you'd have to play all the holes from one tee to the white baskets, or break it up into two nine hole rounds if you wanted to do the blue baskets on the back nine.

Most of the tees are crushed gravel inside timber frames, and they desperately need updating. They are dug out like a batter's box where people have dug in to throw. The existing concrete pads are small and quite dangerous, as some were 6+ inches above ground. A slip off could result in a twisted ankle or worse.

Other tees just didn't exist - they were two flags marking where the tee box should be.

Several of the holes dogleg to the right, so for a left handed thrower or someone who can slice a disc, you are good to go. For someone like me, who can go straight or throw a hook, it was a tough time. Some of the holes, especially from the blue tees, make it so that you have to throw a disc sharp to the right. the 13th blue tee comes to mind.

While I enjoy the challenge of playing through trees, some of the tree branches could be trimmed. I don't remember what hole it was, but unless you can throw it perfectly straight and less than five feet off the ground for a few hundred feet, you will hit a tree branch from either a low-hanging branch or a small sapling.

This is a fun, small course that would be great to come to if I lived closer, but it's not worth an hour drive. The lack of varied terrain and some of the needed updates (tees and baskets) leaves it as an average course. Still, if you live nearby or want to expose new friends and family to a course that is short and in a beautiful setting, this would be a good option.

Tight technical shots required throughout the course. It translates well for a beginner to refine their game, but advanced players won't be particularly challenged. It feels more like a practice round when you play the course. The course plays very quick so you're able to get multiple rounds in within a short amount of time.

Very flat. Almost no elevation changes, and some of the holes aren't particularly well laid out.

Use this course for practice and fine tuning, then go play a real course.

Multiple pin positions on front nine. Two baskets per hole on the back nine.

2-3 tee locations per hole. One (often white) concrete tee per hole. Tee sign typically at white tee.

Dead flat.

Concrete tee too narrow, too short, and too tall.

Cost to enter park, additional to play (come during off-season for free).

Some fairways quite near others.

Course is set in the wooded area between an access road, a parking lot (with neighbouring pool), and dense/wilder forest, within a large public park. While wooded throughout, this isn't a particularly tight course.

While the entire course is flat, there is more challenge to be found on the back nine, as the holes are typically longer, and the throwing lanes tighter, i.e. specific lanes/windows to be hit, vice specific trees to miss, which is more characteristic of the front nine.

In addition to adding (some) length, the farther tees often change the shape of the hole. This shape-change often makes the hole more of a right-turner - from the long tees, there are more right-turning holes than any other type.

Navigation-wise, the online map is quite useful. 1-9 are set inside the outer, clockwise loop which composes 10-18. 1-2 play straight out, cross the tiny drainage canal ahead/right to play counterclockwise loop 3-6, then re-cross to play 7-9 back towards tees 1&10.

Big improvement over the original course, with distance/difficulty suitable for beginner/intermediate, and long2long providing plenty of challenge for advanced and beyond.
