Pros:
+ 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.

Cons:
- 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.

Other Thoughts:
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.
