Very long and open, but not bad 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 28, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Flying Eagles disc golf course was designed in a 2015 Eagle Scout project. This is a very long and open 9-hole course that plays along the perimeter and across a large field of what I would call gently rolling terrain.

All of the baskets are new yellow-banded, Innova DISCatcher Pro 28s -- very nice.

Six of the nine baskets are clearly visible from the tee. At 432 feet, hole 3 poses the greatest challenge to par because your drive must parallel a thick tree line, then at about 220 feet, must cut through a gap in that tree line into an adjacent field.

Distance is not the only challenge on this course though. Your approaches on #4, 5, and 6 can't go too long or you will find yourself in some thick shule and potentially serious elevation drop.

Many golfers will have the arm to reach the green on #8 and 9, but that same thick shule immediately behind the basket will have any course-managing back-handed righty thinking twice about how best to throw.

Despite being in a large field, the fairways and greens were very well groomed with short grass. Even the taller grass off the fairway was short enough that finding a disc was relatively quick and easy.

There was a simple course map at the tee of hole 1, which was sufficient enough to make navigation over the 9 holes fairly easy given how open the course is.

Cons:

The tee signs are not very descriptive -- showing only the distance in yards and the hole sponsor, but because the course is wide open, I wouldn't necessarily call that a fault. I suspect the Eagle Scout who designed this course was either a ball golfer or his dad was because some of the holes, as long as 366 feet, are shown as par 2.

Holes range in distance from 264 feet to 531 feet, but because the course is wide open I would consider all of them par 3s. The mislabeled pars might cause some disc golfers to stumble or judge the designers, but any competitive disc golfer will just play for the best score, independent of any par.

All of the tees are grass, which was not an issue on the sunny summer day I played, but in rain or cold weather, they could be hazardous. Although there were tee signs, there were no tee markers to indicate exactly where the front of the tee pad was intended to be.

Other Thoughts:

The park also has a reasonably large-sized picnic shelter with a few picnic tables and a porta potty. The park is clean, easy on the eyes, and the only other park users I saw while I was there were a few dog walkers.

Great course to get some long throw practice 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Open fairways. Easy navigation as the fairways direct you to the basket on each hole.
Rough grass is not too high, you wont have issues walking through of finding a disc.

Cons:

Not extremely technical. Hole #3 has a snake curve between the treeline, but other than that, its just straight throws.
Avoid going left on #5, #6, #8, and #9. Huge drop off into a creek. You'll have a bad time getting down.

Other Thoughts:

Honestly, this was a fun course. If you're an elite professional player, I can see why you wouldn't like it.
Not difficult but its fun to just stop in on your way through.

What were they thinking? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 13, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Long to short strait open holes (if thats what your looking for)
It's got good baskets

Cons:

Everything but baskets and long strait open holes (if that's not what you looking for)
8 strait open holes and one short blind turn over
0 technicality and 0 tee pad
First 2 holes (according to tee signs) were marked as 122 and 144 yard par 2's????

Other Thoughts:

Property didn't look that great to begin with but I bet with some work better holes could be worked in there. Every hole seemed to have a sponsor so I can't imagin it was from lack of funding.
