Poor Redesign 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 23, 2021 Played the course:once

Other Thoughts:

This is a new (as of 2021) 9 hole layout that replaces the previous 18 hole course on the campus. New holes, new baskets and new signs, but this new course is still a bit of a mess.


- Hole #2 plays up an active driveway alongside a school building (with lots of windows)

- Several holes have narrow fairways that twist in two directions, so the only way to play them is to "dink and dunk" short throws to each corner

- When I visited, #5 faced up an abandoned trail into the woods, and had a rope across the fairway right in front of the tee with a "No Trespassing" sign

- #8 plays as a sharp dogleg down a narrow path bordering a field of chest high grasses. It's a flat hole, so there isn't much chance you'll see where your disc goes if it doesn't stay on the narrow "fairway"

- Several of the new tee signs had inaccurate depictions of the landscape or throwing lines

- There are four very long transitions between holes


I wonder if the designer has played much disc golf. Sure, seen from above the course is a nice loop around part of campus. But at ground level, there are poorly laid out holes and long walks.
