Mostly open and boring, but well maintained 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 1, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The concrete tee pads are nice, signage is accurate, and the course is well maintained. The baskets are in great shape. There are a couple of holes on the back 9 that go into and out of wooded areas near the river, but you're far enough away from the water to avoid losing a disk in there.

Cons:

There are few mature trees throughout a large majority of the course - instead, you'll find large grassy patches that swallow up discs, only to be found when they mow that stuff down in late fall. Since the park sits right next to the river, the wind can be pretty brutal. My biggest problem with this course is the entry fee...every now and then (especially on nice days) there will be a Colerain Township employee or volunteer sitting at the entrance to the park collecting admission. You can get in for $5, or buy an annual pass for $10. They only accept cash, and I've been told by the guy that even he doesn't know which park he'll be working at on a given day. So, if you want to play the course, make sure you have cash on hand, otherwise you may not be able to get in. I've turned around and went elsewhere on multiple occasions because I typically don't carry cash and its easier to go to another course than to drive to an ATM.

Other Thoughts:

I play this course relatively frequently because it's close to home. It's a pretty boring course with few obstacles, but is good for practicing your drive since many of the holes are so open. I've lost more discs here than I care to admit, because walking through 6+ ft. tall grass searching for a disc in the baking sun is not typically my idea of fun. I've seen several reviews mention the gunshots off in the distance - there is a gun club located a few miles down the road. You'll likely hear some gun fire while playing, but it's far enough away that it's never disrupted my game. Contrary to another reviewer's claim, you won't find any stray bullets from the gun range lying around at the park.

Open and boring 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

18 hole course set in an open field behind some baseball diamonds.

Navigation is pretty simple, as all the holes are out in a flat field, without any obstructions. Tee signs were good (although one was missing). Distance, hole number...solid.

One tee pad per hole, but they were very nice concrete. Plenty long, plenty wide, with a foul line and small overrun area. The tee pads were probably the best part of the course.

Decent variety of distances on the holes. This is about all I can come up with for pros in the actual play of the course. A couple holes venture ever so slightly into the woods, and poke back out, but nothing to get excited about.

Cons:

Blah. Double blah. This course is basically just a bunch of baskets in a field, with some occasional big, annoying shule patches. For smaller arms, the shule will force you to go around. For bigger arms, you can go over the shule. For every arm, putting your disc in crazy shule in the middle of a field and having it hide discs sucks. Granted, it's open enough that you really SHOULDN'T end up in there, it's still a huge pain in the ass. Just plant some damn trees.

Apparently, this is P2P. We were there at about 6:30am, and didn't notice anything signifying this. I would advise against anybody actually paying to play this course. Spend the money on gas and go somewhere else to throw frisbees.

There's a running/walking trail that meanders through the course, which could be a pretty big safety hazard. Even at the buttcrack of dawn, there were several people on the trail. I imagine it only gets more congested later in the day.

Other Thoughts:

I suppose if you have a big chunk of unused land, and 18 baskets, there's worse ways of using it than making a course. It's a damn shame they couldn't use the wooded area behind the parking lot, and move the dog walking back out to the open field.

Kind of a bummer of a course, but if I lived right next door, the solid tees would at least make it a fun place to range discs, or ace run. Baggable, but no real replay factor.

Pay $$ to throw in a field. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 1, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

There's baskets.

When the weeds are cut, there is no chance of losing a disc.

Concrete tee pads and signs.

Nice park.

Cons:

One of the most boring 18 hole courses I've ever played except for two holes near the woods. Most of the holes you are just throwing thru a field.

And then you have to pay to play this course! No thanks.

Other Thoughts:

I don't recall ever paying to play though. Must not have noticed that sign!

This course would be a good one to work on your drives and try out new discs.
