Potentially has potential 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 20, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

• Lush green grass and nice, well-maintained property
• The berm, pond, open field, and wooded areas create variety in the design
• DD baskets are in great shape
• The church owns a good bit of land to the east of the course so there is potential here for expansion or a redesign.

Cons:

• The course feels a bit cramped and holes 1-7 are too short to be a challenge for experienced players. Fairways are generally open with just a few trees or low branches to avoid near the end of the flight. The exceptions are holes 3-5 which are moderately wooded, but if you can avoid the trees, it should be a birdie.
• The grass is very dense and the tee pads are natural. My shoes grab the grass and cause lots of torque on my knees. I'm never comfortable teeing off and have to take a lot of power off each throw.
• Other than a handful of ace runs there aren't many exciting or overly challenging holes for experienced players
• The baskets are very nice but they aren't uniform. The original four are DGA and others are DD Patriot targets.

Other Thoughts:

The grass is not cut for disc golf - but it could be! Several baskets sit in foot-tall grass that should be used as a rough not putting greens. A little bit of time spent cutting some fairways and adding trees could make this course much more interesting and playable. With the addition of some sort of tee pads this course would likely get used. In its current state, however, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to play here. If you are short on time go play the short and sweet Steady Ed designed Madeline Bertrand which will only take about an hour to play all 18.
The first four baskets and signs appeared in 2014. In 2018 the final five basket were installed. In 2019 the course was finished off with nicer tee signs. It's quite clear GCC is in no rush to work on this course and it may never change from its current state, but who knows!?
