Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 28, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Brand new white Dynamic Discs Veteran baskets; two on every hole (blue basket - short; yellow basket - long). Long cement tee pads. Great tee signs with direction of next tee marked on them. Practice basket at start of course. Navigation very easy. There is a dog park near the first tee and you have the alternative of parking at the Nature Center and starting on hole #7 (or #4) if you have others with you who do not want to play disc golf. Short walks between baskets and next tee in general. Fairways are clear of undergrowth. Loops back to the parking lot after the first 9. Navigation very easy even without a map. Attractive park.

Cons:

No benches. Lots of rocks and tree stumps. Holes are very similar to each other. Map for #11 shows short basket on left of fairway but it is on the right.

Other Thoughts:

Re-visited and have now updated the review based on updates. Most of the criticisms in my initial review have been addressed/corrected. This is now a very fun course although it lacks variety (no mandos, no water, no elevation change, no long holes). The lengths vary a bit and there is some small shape differences but basically it is a line through a lot of trees over rocky ground with just the trunks as obstacles. Even with my noodle arm and two injuries, most of my drives landed close to the short basket.

No trash cans (no penalty as that it probably a state rule). No benches I usually don't care about especially on a short course but this one could easily get backed up. I was there on a September Wednesday morning at 9:45 and had the course to myself. Dulles had its landing route overhead which made for some interesting watching. The basket bottoms seemed about an inch higher than usual but if you are hitting chains, it should not affect you. Overall this was a pleasant experience. There are three holes (#10, #11, #14) over 400 feet but with the density of trees, You will hit trees and the ground is very rocky so your discs will take some abuse. The course is nice and a lot of good work has been done on it.
