This course was, for most of its life, a joke. The kind of place where you'd shoot a 41 and be embarrassed.

Even after new baskets and some new fairways were put in during 2013-2014, this course was a joke. A sloppy, dangerous, half-finished mess.

And then came Tommy Hayes and the Bull Run Disc Golf Group. They decided to make this course into something. They consulted with local event-runners and with local pro Ryan Jones, and built 18 turf teepads in blue positions. They revamped the white teepads with turf. They trimmed and cleared fairways and underbrush. They marked putting circles. They made this course into something.

While mostly flat, this course will challenge you off the blue tees, and provide a great experience for casual and beginner players from the white tees. New teepads are excellent. Fairways are largely fair, if overwhelmingly RHBH-understable dominant. Multiple basket positions on the front nine and multiple baskets on the back nine provide variety.

Front nine has a cramped space (1-2, 7-9) that could lose a hole or two if more room is in the cards.

When rain is intense, drainage is really, really bad (this is not the club or the designers' fault).

The transformation here is proof positive of what you can accomplish with passion and a good relationship with the parks.
