Honey Locust

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 29, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Land is decent for disc golf but not great. The course is mostly open; there are a few trees and some water but no elevation.
-- Mowed paths make navigation easy. The only potential issue is getting from 3 to 4. Take the path right, then go left over the bridge.
-- Beautiful tee signs with everything you need … except the hole number. It appears that the original intent was for the course to start near Fish Trap Road. However, there is no parking, and road work on Fish Trap Road makes it nearly impassable. Your best bet is to park at the dead-end on the north end of Legacy Drive. Follow a path left about 150 feet, and you'll reach a tee and a course map. Seems like Hole 1. However, the tee sign has no hole number, and the map has no hole numbers. According to the online map that I saw 9 days ago but is now not available, this is hole 7. Some baskets are numbered, and those numbers agree with the online map. I am using the hole numbers that make sense based on the location of the map on site.
-- Best holes: Three is 382 feet with a big tree in the middle of the fairway, so you can go right or left. A guardian tree sits 20 feet in front of the basket, and a creek is 15 feet behind the basket. Eight is 311 feet mostly straight and open. There is a gentle right turn the final 30 feet, and the basket sits on top of a small hill behind a guardian tree. Murky water is 15 feet past the basket. Nine (323 feet) is a water carry. You've got about 55 feet off the tee before you reach tall grass and/or water, so there's not much of a layup option, and there are no real bailout options right or left. Water levels will vary significantly, but to clear the tall grass on the far edge of the water requires a 250-foot drive.

Cons:

-- Heavily favors RHBH throwing style. Five holes clearly require or heavily favor RHBH with a hyzer shot; a sixth hole offers RHBH or RHFH paths. Two holes are close to straight. One favors RHFH.
-- Course is mostly open, but the rough is so bad that disc loss potential is high.
-- Almost no shade.
-- No restrooms.
-- Long concrete tee pads, but some are almost overgrown.
-- No water on site.

Other Thoughts:

-- All holes are listed as par 3 on the map at the course, including the 560 foot opening hole. Our site lists that one as Par 4.
-- Fairways are mowed (somewhat high), but the rough is minimum of waist-high; some of it is more than 8 feet tall. Fairways are mostly a uniform 20-feet wide.
-- Somewhat long holes for a 9-hole course. Seven are longer than 300 feet, and no holes are shorter than 275.
