Pros:
1) Amenities: As you enter the park there are multiple large parking lots in different sections of the park. Multiple basketball, tennis, and pickle ball courts and several soccer and baseball fields in the back. The park appears massive at first and spread out, but as you play the disc golf portion of it, you don't feel like there is a lot of waisted walking or that it plays extremely long. The only eyesore I noticed was what appeared to be an old recreation center in a fenced in part of the back part of the park. The pool was in disrepair and it appeared as though the building had either been long since abandoned or was damaged over the winter by storms because there were downed trees, holes in the roof and several broken windows. The rest of the park was in nice, but well loved condition outside of this building area.
2) Very nice course signage with full picture layouts of each hole. Discatcher baskets in nice but used shape. There was a practice basket but it was not easy to find and no information pointed you towards it. Steps built into the fairways where needed to make traversing a little easier.
3) Heavily wooded throughout most of the course, and balancing between moderate to lightly wooded for the rest. Heavy rough and tight gaps make for a very challenging sections throughout with an occasional "break" hole where the shot isn't as demanding before putting you through the ringer again. Although the course distance isn't a major obstacle, hitting lines with power on angle, especially late gaps is essential to scoring well here. You will find yourself scrambling a lot if you are off line. This course can be played safely for par almost entirely throughout if that is your goal and you are making your putts. Aggressive shots that miss bring the bigger numbers into play.
4) If I had to pick a signature hole I would say hole 9 (not sure of exact actual hole number as we played all the extra holes on this course and it was the 9th hole we played) It is a tight wooded S shaped hole in the 290 foot range. With a hard sloping fairway down the left side to OB and a wall of trees and dense brush forming the maybe 20 foot wide true S shape, you must pick an angle and commit to it. Probably a terrifying hole to play in a tournament as several guys in our group took 6 or worse after getting off the fairway and having no way to progress. Frustrating hole for sure, but an excellent challenge.
5) Great use of elevation change on this design and you will find yourself throwing very few flat shots throughout. Though there are no severe slopes, the combination of gentle inclines and declines with tricky tight gaps and roll away potential from tee to green makes accuracy and control tantamount on this course. A very nice touch.
6) For a relatively short wooded course by hole length, the course does a great job of creating memorable holes that differ from each other. You very rarely get to the throw the same shot from the tee twice in a row, and it forces you to change distances, height, and angles constantly. Your disc bag will really get a workout here as you utilize some of those discs your hardly ever throw trying to hit some of these angles.
7) There are multiple ace runs on this course but they don't equate to an easy birdie which I enjoy. You must hit the correct gap with the correct power to get the ace, and if you don't, you'll probably have a long and undesireable putt.
8) The "main" 18 holes are definitely better designed and flow better than the additional holes but the added holes help will narrowing the walking distance between the original holes. The added holes are shorter, more open, and easier to make birdies on or run for the ace. Good holes, but they don't really fit the feel and theme of the other holes.
9) While I would not consider this a beginner level course, it's not so long or punishing that a low AM couldn't enjoy themselves here. You can definitely utilize this course to work on your woods game and it's perfect for that. There is plenty of scoring separation available out here to host tournaments easily and with plenty of property and holes rarely impeding on each other, there wouldn't be any spacing issues.
Cons:
1) Tee-pads while concrete and well textured were extremely small length and width wise. There were a lot of holes where you felt compressed and had to alter your throw from the tee due to trees being right up on the side of the tee pad. This was less bothersome for the RHBH players with us, but us lefties and our RHFH guys were scared several times of smacking our hands on trees from the tee.
2) Maintenance. I played during the end of winter, early spring, but there was a lot of trash and debris on the course. Despite the trash cans all of the course, there was a ton of beer cans and broken glass bottles throughout. The rough was thick and full of thorns (welcome to KY) and downed trees and limbs were abundant. Probably gets more attention during the summer but it was a sore look for an otherwise nice looking park.
3) This course does not hold water well. It rained quite a bit on us at the very beginning of our round and it made a lot of holes very slick and left areas of standing water. With limited vegetation in the beaten down paths through the woods, this course was very muddy. It could definitely use some mulch to assist with this, especially with all the elevation changes.
4) It is a high use park with multiple blind shots near parking lots, pavilions, and walking trails. You need to take the extra time to ensure your flight path (intended one and accidental ones) are clear before you throw on several holes.
5) No water features and very little in the form of OB outside of walking paths and structures. As stated above it is very easy to play this course for par and OB would help it alot. There are also multiple fenced in areas on the course where an errant shot might result in losing a disc because these were all locked when we played and protected with barbed wire across the top.
Other Thoughts:
Excellent wooded course for the Rec/Adv level player. Positioned well enough that a day/weekend trip to either Lexington or Louisville leaves a pretty short drive to Frankfort to play this course. While probably not on the level of a destination course on it's own, paired with a trip nearby it is definitely worth stopping and playing.
