*lovely setting
*Great tee-pads and baskets
*Good signage
*Pro shop on site
*The folks running the course are friendly and supportive
*bag hangers are cool

(Full disclosure... I had a terrible day today,)

*baskets can be placed in ridiculous spots (for example, 8th basket was on a ridge, I missed the uphill putt and the disc rolled down the other side to OB)... a lot of luck needed to score sometimes. Lots of roll-away potential

* Most of the holes are crammed into a very small area in order to have a few long holes. That should've been reconsidered.

The 1/4 mile walk to to the course is flat, on a perfectly manicured decomposed granite trail. If this is what bugging you... not sure what to say.

I may have to go back to see if my cons are legit or if I'm just influenced by my lousy day out there.

Update 11/2/22

I've played this course a few more times now as a (much) better player. While I'm still wondering about the choices made to cram so many holes in the back part of the course, I'm not so miffed about the basket placement. I've never had to redeem myself on 8 with the basket at the top of a small levee, but the other roll-aways (the dew!) were just stupidly unlucky that first day. The course is definitely growing on me. I'm playing a tag round this weekend and maybe I'll post something else.

This is how you should construct a disc golf from scratch. That is, by having the funds to build a first class disc golf course. The tee pads are level on a green carpet. I didn't ask whether concrete is in the plans. At hole # 1 the bench is varnished! There are bag holders and benches at every hole. The tee signs are currently temporary but beautiful new ones are coming soon. The baskets are lovely, orange Prodigy models. There are some next tee signs where needed.

The first two holes play in a narrow area between the lake and the neighboring houses. Then starting with # 3, you play back into a partially wooded area. The course is not terribly long with four holes playing over 400'. But it is borderline tight in places and does have a few tricky, dangerous basket placements, where lurking just behind the basket is a nasty deep ditch just waiting on your unsuspecting disc. Twice, I just barely overthrew the basket and then found my disc either in the water or way down the embankment.

Members of my playing group really liked # 16 as a signature hole. It's 465' down kind of an S turn fairway and the basket is not visible until partway down the fairway.

I preferred # 14 with it's basket set up amongst the large boulders. It's shorter and easier than 16.

There aren't many cons to mention except for the one big one. There is just over a 1/4 mile trek to the first tee and when you finish # 18, getting back is even longer yet. That would be a long trek after a sizzling July round here.

On the wonderful basket position in the boulders on # 14 there are some scraggly little bushes sticking up as well as some poison oak. I would like to see these are cut or pulled.

Some benches aren't finished but heck, the course won't have its official opening until next Saturday with it's first tournament the day after.

I was fortunate enough to hook up with locals Brie, Jerome and Garret, who were all playing their inaugural round at Cameron. We were all pleased with the design, the challenge and basically, everything about the course. Congratulations to Jason and the rest of the local club for getting this course built.

I vacillated back and forth about my rating for Cameron DGC, 3.0 or 3.5. After playing through most of the course, I was leaning to the higher number but after taking the long walk back to my car, I reluctantly decided on the 3.0 rating. I think I might be a little low and bet this ends up being rated closer to 4.0 then my 3.0.
