After reading the lone review on this course I was really looking forward to playing it. But I have to say I was disappointed. For most of the course you are throwing up a ATV path with tight tree formations on either side. Considering this is at a kids camp I can't believe they would make the fairways so small. Also they pars are odd. For example a par 5 344 ft hole? In all fairness the tee shot is super tight with a late sharp turn hyzer needed at the end but still, I eagled it 2/3 times, and I'm not that good. I guess the pars are set for youth not adults.
The baskets are good quality but they have some issues. First off the chains are too small so there is a big gap between where they end and where the basket actually sits. Also the baskets are cone shaped instead of flat. What this means is the only way to make it is to hit the chains or they spit right out if you just hit in the basket. These are probably the worst baskets I've played on due to these issues.
I question whether this course was set up by someone who knew much about disc golf. Many of the tee shots are very odd calling for extreme hyzers/anhyzers that occur down the fairway. It's kind of hard to describe, you are on the tee box and looking at what the course designer set up and wonder what they heck was this guy thinking. This is a weird shot I have to make. Take the 2nd hole, you need an extreme anhyzer (forehand is a WAY easier option) but then you will still struggle for your 2 as the basket is buried in the trees off to the left. They call it a par 4 but I just can't get over having a par 4 under 300 feet. So I guess their idea is to lay up at around 150 feet then throw a gentle hyzer in close for birdie. Just weird stuff like this throughout the course. I would say there are only 3-4 "normal" holes and the course has a heavy emphasis on anhyzer (forehand) shots.
I probably won't play this course again unless I'm up at Camp Morrow for a different reason. You would never want to drive out here just to play this.
