Nice peaceful relaxing setting. Course is challenging but beginner friendly. It's mixed with downhill tees #1,2,&8and uphill tee #5. Open field tees #6,7,9. Wooded tees. Plenty of obstacles (trees, roads, thick woods #3) and water hazards. Owners are friendly and helpful. It's free if your camping at Cleveland Sandusky Jellystone. If you are not then it's a $5 guest fee per person. The owner will gladly give you deets on the course layout but it's really fairly easy to figure out.

If you miss the fairway on #2,3,4,5,6 the raspberry thorns are viscous. Make sure you write your return info on the back of your disc and the owner will find your disc in the off season when the vegetation is gone. When the campground is busy you gotta be patient on 1,2,5,8 due to pedestrians and golf carts. I prefer to play before 10am and evening time or Sunday afternoon when it's less busy or weekdays any time.

It really is a nice course. I can usually squeeze in 3 rounds in a weekend. Hole 3 you will see the basket but the tee is in the woods on the trail south of basket. (Par 3 pretty deep in the wooded trail with woods and water hazard).
Tips:
#1) starts at south corner of ranger station. Downhill across the road and shallow creek below the pond. I throw a decent forehand and can hit the green off tee (par 3)
#2) take the wooden steps off the green to the south and up to the lake facing East across the road you will see the wooden tee and the basket is in a narrow tree lined section across the road downhill. Par 3. (Keep your throws dead on or left or the raspberries will eat your disc lol)
#3) basket is East of #2 basket walk to #3 basket and hang a right and walk the trail uphill and the tee is right at top of hill on trail.
#4) tee is by r/c dirt track. Facing north dogleg right. Par 3
#5) par 4. Across the road /creek uphill. You can hit the gap in the trees or play it safe towards the road and then play it east and uphill.
#6) par 3. Open field to the left. Keep it right or risk the thorn bushes in woods on left.
#7) par 4 420' open field dead ahead this side of road.
#8) shares tee with #6 downhill across the creek to the right of road. Tree and water obstacle. This is my favorite hole because of the challenges. I use my floating driver on this hole lol. Creek is usually knee deep and murky.
#9) across road and back towards basketball court with a long par 3 in a open field.
I hope this helps and you won't be disappointed with this course. Have fun and happy discing

+ Country Stage is a top of the line campground in the small community of Nova, Ohio. If you've ever been to a Jellystone Park campground, you know that it's mainly centered around kids, but it's very welcoming for everyone.

+ Jellystone has another campground with a disc golf course down in Shreve. The two are comparable, but this new course here in Nova is a little tougher and provides more distance as well as technicality.

+ Several fun downhill shots, with #8 being the most memorable. Water comes into play onto this one, as well as on holes #1 and #5.

+ Equipment is brand new, the baskets catch well and the signs serve their purpose. There's a few benches around the course.

+ Maintained very nicely. No overgrown grass or hanging limbs, everything is in tip top shape.

+ Seems like everyone here is very nice and welcoming. Disc golf looks to be a big thing here, as there were three other groups on the compact 9 holer.

+ Actually, There's pretty good variety in distance and elevation. There's a couple par 4s mixed in, as well as some uphill and downhill shots
+ Restrooms and snacks near the parking lot.

- Well, the design itself is a little strange. You have several spots that cross fairways. Many holes play over or near roadways and paths. #1 and #2 cross fairways, as well as #5 and #8. #6 and #7 overlap each other in an open field. #6 and #8 share a tee area.

- There's no designated area to tee off from. Just teeing off in the general area of the sign.

- Navigation is straight forward except between #2 and #3. I found the basket, but never found the tee area for #3.

- There's a couple really fun holes, but several duds. #6, #7, and #9 were painful, but wouldn't be too bad for beginners.

- Tee signs don't have a map of the hole, just the # and distance.

Country Stage isn't too bad. There's some memorable holes that stand out, with #8 being the "signature" hole. However, there's many holes that play way too close to each other, and there's a few wide open duds. Definitely play if you are camping, or maybe before/after you play Findley up the road.

The first tee is located past the gates on the opposite side of the ranger building. Park at the visitor lot, and wrap around to the left side of the building. The first tee is next to the fossil making thingy. I didn't check in, and I'm not sure if you have to or not. I'd reccomrnd you do just in case.
