Beautiful Czechia Disc Golf 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Oct 8, 2017
Played the course:once
Pros:
- it's in Czechia!
- fun wooded golf in a beautiful park along the Ohre River
- good baskets, tees (turf), and tee signs (courtesy of Innova's "DiscGolfPark," I believe)
- arrows on baskets pointing in direction of next tee
- easy to find and access from German or Czech side, as long as you have a vehicle

Cons:
- numerous interactions with park path (hole 1 may be the biggest culprit, with 3, 4, 6, & 17)
- tricky navigation especially between 10 & 11; the 4-5-6 flow is a bit awkward as well

Other Thoughts:
I and one other golfer played here fairly early on a Sunday morning. The area is beautiful, and we enjoyed the early morning drive among the lightly forested fields in this area of Germany & Czechia. It was drizzling for about half of the round, but still very pleasant. The overall experience was fun, and the golf compared very favorably to courses I've played elsewhere (namely the USA). It didn't really feel exotic or different; it just felt like an enjoyable, beautiful course that took a little more effort to reach.
My favorite holes were all between 4 and 13. There was some decent elevation incorporated as the course entered a wooded area. Many of these were relatively short but had tight lines that were challenging but fair. An intermediate player should fare well, and an advanced player ought to shred these but would still have fun. This enjoyable stretch had several narrow but open fairways with lines to hit, and then some mild up/down elevation shots. The more open holes were decent but not as memorable, giving some decent opportunities for controlled distance. I had a nice Comet throw-in from >150' on my second shot of the day, so that started things off right!
The overall navigation is logical except for the 10 to 11 transition. The map on here is good (same as the map at the beginning of the course). The main safety issue is the multiple holes crossing paths, but this didn't seem as dangerous as I've seen in plenty of other courses. Visibility of both path users & teeing-off discers was good and helped avoid dangerous throws. We saw fairly few park users (likely due to rain and an early Sunday round), but all we encountered seemed well aware of a disc golf course in the park.
If you're from far away, arriving is pretty easy. If you have a car, look up "Discgolf Myslivna Cheb" on Google Maps. We found parking, though this may present a problem occasionally as it overlaps with nearby residential buildings.
Rating & Summary:
Settling on a number was tough, mainly because of the fact that it's such a respectable course in an area with so few nearby courses. Out of respect for the course on the scale of every course I've played, I went 3.5, "Very Good." If you'll be traveling in the area, this ought to be high on your list.

Not very long but certainly tricky 2+ years drive by

Played on:Jun 24, 2014
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
- Very nice surroundings, nice area that the course is in. Fields were cut, forest was pretty much cleaned up and not many loose branches lying around.
- Tee mats are a little short but you can run up behind the mats on every hole, so you have a nice stance on every throw.
- Very diversified holes, first 3 are open, then you go in the woods, from 12-13 you're out in the open again
- Elevation changes and some doglegs make you throw lot of different shots
- The course is on a public place, so if you have bad luck there are a few people on the open fields, but in the trees you're basically away from any paths with pedestrians, so you don't have to watch out for that...

Cons:
- pretty short course, longest hole is around 450' on completely open field slightly uphill and it is called a Par 4. I threw DDs on only 3 holes, and a Putter on 6 or 7 holes.
- there were no tee signs or so yet, but I got word they will be put up in the next few weeks, so I'll just point that out, but not let it influence my course rating
- on hole 18, you really have to watch out for the parked cars on the right, which leaves a little bad taste, as it is he end of your round and you can't throw without having the cars in the back of your mind...

Other Thoughts:
If I lived there, I would use the big open field for a lot of driving practice, so you can't only play but also practice pretty well there. You could also do some longer holes for yourself on the big fields (maybe in the woods as well, didn't think about it there) and play a more difficult layout. The course is certainly a top choice for beginners, and not a bad choice for longer and more advanced throwers who can let it fly on a couple of holes and work on their accuracy on the other ones.
Update: I've come here a little more often now and these are some more things to consider:
- Tee-Signs have been put in now so you shouldn't have trouble finding any tee except maybe #11 because it's a little walk
- Unfortunately, on this side of the border dog owners just care as less about dog piles as they do in Germany, so watch out for those especially on holes 1 and 3
- I said that you were able to run up on basically every hole, well this counts for every one except #3. I can throw 430' on a consistent basis, but have really trouble reaching this hole because the run up is slightly uphill and the mat is just so small that it would interfere with my throw. So I just throw behind the mat while running up uphill. Not a big con, just a little bummer that I can't let it rip on bascially the only hole that you really need to.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
these guys must have some money over. The tee pads on all the holes where you would need a run up have been lengthened and are really top notch now!
