One of my favorites 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good mix of wooded and open holes. Multiple lines to throw, multiple basket locations and tee pads. Tee pads are artificial turf from a football stadium, that drain properly. Even in wet conditions, the pads are not slick. Very fun to play.

Cons:

Location.

Excellent course for all skill levels 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Most tee pads are nice new boxes made using turf from sections of Princeton's old football field. Adequate signage makes the course easy to navigate. Well-maintained fairways due to course layout, foot traffic, and proper landscaping. The course requires a good variety of skills due to the variety of each hole (uphill, downhill, tunnel, heavily wooded, S-curve, wide open, bank right w/ mando, water hazards, etc). Several scenic-yet-enjoyable holes (5, 6 from the top tee, 13, to name a few)

Cons:

Tends to get swampy after periods of heavy rain (as many courses do)

Other Thoughts:

Clearly a lot of recent work has been done on this course. The multiple layouts offer great variety and the clever use of natural features and obstacles allows young players to hone their skills and learn new shots while simultaneously offering enough challenge to seasoned players to keep them coming back.

Worth your time 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well designed uses the terrain really well. Great mix of wooded and more open shots. Very wild terrain considering it right next to Wilmington.

Cons:

Natural tees. use the map for finding some tees.

Other Thoughts:

Great course! it will be a 4.5 star course once the tees are installed. The other reviews here are outdated. I didn't see any evidence of a bad neighborhood. Course was pretty free of litter etc.

Don't go by the old reviews 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 11, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Multiple tee and pin positions.
Tee signs for every hole.
Great risk/reward shots.
Fair for both left handers and right handers.
Wide variety of technical shots, tunnel shots, bomber holes, and elevation changes.
The short layout is great for new players.
The long layout is challenging for pros, but not Iron Hill difficult.
There is a lot of OB, but you never feel cheated by it. It enhances the course instead of taking away from it. It's not like courses that put artificial OB everywhere to artificially make the course more difficult.

Cons:

2 of the holes are a little bit "poke and hope"y.
Occasionally there will be trash and some other shady business going on. The disc golf course has really turned the park around though and it should continue to get even better.

Needs tee pads, but they are coming soon.

Other Thoughts:

Don't go by the old reviews. People always want to give a course bad reviews before it's even finished. The course has come a long way and brought the rest of the park with it. Most people consider Canby the second best course in DE, only behind Iron Hill.

Interesting wooded course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Now a full 18 holes......Fun wooded course that does not get repetitive like many other courses. Tight fairways and can easily find trouble but tests a variety of shots. Length is reasonable for beginners but long enough on most holes to throw a full drive. Pin position variations create interest.

Cons:

Lack of signage installed yet can make navigation difficult. Tight wooded course can be difficult and frustrating for beginners who go off course.

Other Thoughts:

Good compliment to the nearby hills, wind and open fields of Brandywine. I've played courses all over the country and I find these two as good a pair as any.
