Foot, disc, and ball golf, oh my... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 19, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

* Every hole a bomb!
* Very well maintained grass.
* Nice amenities.
*Fairly easy to navigate (some baskets hidden behind terrain or off on a tangent in the woods, requiring scouting).
*Some bend right, some bend left, some straight.
*Novelty of playing with ball golfers, and possibly foot golfers too! (there is a 9 hole soccer golf course set up using the same fairways as both the disc and ball golf)

Cons:

*Every hole a bomb!
*Yellow discs as tee "pads" with no signage. (see below)
*Areas around the baskets need to be maintained (poison ivy encroaching on basket on #2, nasty thistle bed almost surrounding basket on #9, etc.)

Other Thoughts:

The guy in the shack told me to just use the ball golf tees to tee off, which made for a pretty boring bomb-a-thon up the gut every time. If I had read up on this course before playing yesterday, I would have probably had a better experience, as I know that my friends at Discap know how to set up holes with fair flight path challenges and risk/reward opportunities. I will stop by this course later this week to look for my go-to driver in the pond on #8 (didn't see how far the pond extended to the left from the tee, dunked my "safe" drive) I expect that teeing off from the yellow disks will lead to a better experience.
