Pros:
Hyzer Creek is one man's maniacal desire to carve out 18 holes of disc golf on about 50 acres of thick woods located in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Oh, by the way, there is a creek that runs through the middle of the course that comes into play on many holes (1, 3, 9, 12, 16, and 18). Morgan has done an excellent job in creating one of the most difficult courses I have ever played. Due to the ruggedness, verticals, length, woods, and pin placements, you are both mentally and physically tired after playing 36 holes here.....but damn, you feel so good when you are done playing.
Due to it's location, it is not very crowded.
You need all your shots (except roller due to tough terrain) to play this course.
Some of my favorite holes and why:
#2- long uphill shot from the teebox that requires a RHBH hyzer around a tree in the middle of the fairway.
#3- a possible ace hole except long skinny fairway with lots of tree and pin protected by a creek and boulders.
#5- this hole is uphill dogleg right that just keeps on going and going. Be real happy is you take a 4 on it.
#12- Morgan cleared about 2-3 acres. tee box is on top of the hill and the pin is 600 feet away with a creek about 100 feet in front of the pin. the pin is nestled inside a cutout shoot of woods. It's been dueced, once.
16- you either love or hate this hole. You can even do both several times while playing this hole. really long, s shaped hole to start with before a gradual fade to the right at the end. BTW, the pin is located on a rock in the middle of the creek and water is OB. Which I had a nickel for every circle ever taken on a score card.
#18- tee box on one side of a gulley and the pin is on the other. You need to throw a straight shot across the gulley, under the canopy to ace it. Greg Kurtz has done this twice, in tourneys, to win ace pots. Good luck to the rest of us.
Cons:
Not recommended for the light hearted or folks just begining to play.
A bit rough around the edges (stumps in fairways and brush cut from the fairways still on the sides of the fairways) but one guy with some help, did build this course.
I also wish this one was closer to my house. It is a bit far from civilization.
No running water.
Other Thoughts:
Kudos to Morgan. One great course that any serious disc golfer must play. Once you play it, you will definitely come back.
Make a big fat donation when you play to keep the course going.
