Beautiful wooded property with a large pond early in the tract and a meandering creek throughout a good chunk of the rest.

Challenging course that forces you to abandon any conservatism. You must take risks to score decently (if you are a novice or recreational player) and to score well (if you are intermediate, advanced, or professional). Take time to decide on your strategy but commit on your throws.

Though there are a few red tees and blue tees, the main tee is the white tee. If you are a less-skilled dolfer, take advantage of the shorter or less-tactical tees at nos. 2 and 4. (I've yet to find the red tee supposedly at no. 8.) If you are advanced or pro-level, there are blue tees at nos. 3 and 15. Those, I have seen. I did not see blue tees at nos. 10 and 16. Could be there; I just cannot vouch for their existence.

In general, I like this idea: the core of the course (white tee to single basket for all except one hole) is what everyone plays.

There is a long basket at no. 4 for those looking for more distance there. Or just to get away from the rollaway green of the short basket. Not sure there is long pin placement at the other holes, where the basket might move on occasion.

Very few people come here apparently (outside of tournaments, of course), so it is peaceful. I had absolutely no one to have to let through on two warm Sunday afternoons. Granted it was early March and early April.

The pads are nice, the baskets are nearly new, and every hole has at least one bench. Latter definitely needed for those of us of a certain age and/or with mobility issues. By my Fit app measurement, the tract is 3 miles around.

Because the creek comes into play so often, many holes in the middle are down into the ravine and back up the slope on the other side. This repetition gets old (especially on really long holes) if you are not a long thrower. Footbridges across said creek are varying in quality...wear hiking boots.

Similarly, there are plenty of tunnel holes or gates at the beginning of the fairway to toss through. If you cannot hit a line with force and accuracy, you're just going to have to do a soft pitch through and waste the stroke.

The course is still primarily meant for the higher-skilled disc golfers. Certainly not for true beginners. There are too many really long holes and very few instances where there is a short tee. I don't mind a 500-600 ft hole here and there (maybe two of them on the course), but there are six 400-800 foot holes (from the white tee): nos. 3, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15. Your first time here, you will find this a rude introduction if you are not intermediate level or above.

I never found the short pad at no. 8. This creekside hole is perhaps the toughest: narrow lane, trees on the left, creek on the right, fairway sloping towards the creek. With the basket elevated (naturally or artificially) at the end. It's a demoralizer for me right now, but when I do (and I shall!) bring my stroke count down here, I will come to appreciate this hole more.

There's a lot of elevation change, so one should come prepared for that. Which means more time than normal on the course. Expect 3 hours. Based on the weather, you may be sitting and resting more than you normally would on a flat course. Obviously, if it's summer, bring water. The shade is great, but you will be exerting yourself throughout the walk around the course.

The course is located up and off Route 15, some miles above Leesburg. Indeed, nearly to the Potomac River and the Maryland line (Point of Rocks). You are out in the country, so if you're coming from afar, you probably want to pair this one with Franklin Park with some lunch in between in the business district of Leesburg. The Scattersville course on the same property is both a good warmup and cooldown course to play if you have the time. You could also pair Clark's Run with Seneca Creek, if you are a billy goat that loves the woods and the challenge of yet an even stronger, wider, and deeper creek.

Fair course. Challenging and rewarding. Something for everyone. Par 3,4 and a Par 5, tight woods on some and more open on other holes. Every time I play the course it helps me improve my game. There is a short 9 hole putter course up front to warm up on.

Some shots are very tight. If you get off the tight fairways you can really struggle quickly to scramble to the basket.

Some courses in VA tend to be very brushy and can eat discs if you get off the fairway. Clark's Run is not that course. In the handful of times I have played with 10-15 other people I do not remember a lost disc.
