This is a nice course for a beginning player, though it doesn't have any specific challenges or holes that stand out.

Entire course is played on what can only be described as a lawn. Underbrush and hazards in general are non-existent aside from high-canopied trees and one spot of cattails. It made for a pleasant evening as bugs were non existent and discs were essentially impossible to lose.

There is some elevation at play. Nothing I would call a "hike", but small hills and swells are made use of. At least one basket has been artificially elevated via dirt mound which made putting a bit more interesting than usual.

Course is clean, well-manicured, and quiet! It made for a pleasant walk with the wife as we made our rounds through the holes.

Very nice, new concrete tee pads. Baskets were all in excellent repair.

Hole distance varies. The holes generally have several good lines available and give the opportunity for some real distance driving for folks with a good arm. There are also several shorter holes that I imagine will lend themselves to their fair share of aces.

Course appears to be under the tail-end of a major renovation and it's not quite finished off yet. A map is more or less mandatory as the old signage and labels are still present. Once you get started you can more or less find your way, but the posts aren't always easy to see due to the elevation changes. Hole #1 starts near the red geodesic dome building. Judging by the obvious effort put forward into updating the course, I would be astonished if this wasn't fixed for the 2018 season. 2017 mileage may vary.

Not much in the way of trash cans or benches. A couple of holes had beverage cans resting near the poles though I do want to stress that the course overall is exceptionally clean and well taken care of.

Front 9 seems to be built on newly landscaped land. Soil had a dusty, construction-fill quality with new grass coming up in tufts. Will probably be quite nice if they keep up on watering it. Perfectly tolerable as it is, just one of those things you notice.

Parking might be interesting during campus hours. Many colleges tend to ticket pretty savagely but I can't speak to JCC's policy. Coming on the weekend parking was plentiful and right next to the course beginning/end.

I'd guess it's generally quiet for the summer months but would hazard a guess that things get a lot more lively when school is in session.

Course is a great course for a beginner working on fundamental skills like raw distance and crude aim. I can't think of a shot on the course I'd consider "technical" - maybe hole 18 that has a forked tree in the middle of the lane you could theoretically thread a disc through. Obstacles amount to generously dispersed trees and that's pretty much it.

As a newer player I found it well worth playing for the calm that permeates the course. Being able to focus on simply throwing the disc and not avoiding poison-ivy laden garbage or nasty water was great. That said, there's not much here I'd consider to be a "must play". It's competently laid out, well cared for, and perfect for practicing for the more technical courses that are out there.

UPDATE: Trash cans are now in and plentiful. Signs are now posted at each hole - navigation can still be difficult if you are unfamiliar with the course but things are coming right along. Some old signage still present. Spotted one bench near the water tower - was probably there before and I didn't notice it.

Update 2: This was a review after a few months of playing disc golf and a handful of courses. I've adjusted my score a bit to reflect on the perspective I've gained from new experiences and new courses.

• This course is installed on Jackson Community College property (as the title says) and makes great use of the land.

- Plenty use of elevation, and good variation of lengths of holes.

- Variety of shots is also good, not too much repetition, which is a huge plus for me.


- Chainstar baskets also a plus, all in decent shape aside from one or two with warpage.

- apdrvya and I played on a school day, so the course was barren, no waiting to shoot and we didn't run into a single soul out on the course aside from someone doing some mowing.

- The tee signs and routing were actually all present, and not too hard on the eyes. It's always nice to know where you're going next (bring a copy of the map just in case)

- All around very scenic, definitely doesn't feel like a "thrown together" school course.

• Course could definitely do with a little more maintenance, specifically mowing, as the rough really gets rough.

• Also, the lack of teepads for me cost this course half a disc, as some of the holes don't even have an indicator where you should throw from.

• Course seems to play across a cross-country track of some sort, as there are arrows and lines painted about, so this may come into account on busier days (didn't affect me)

- Can see insects being an issue in spring/summer months, but with bugspray you should be just fine.

As I stated, this course is amazing for being on a campus, and half the time you don't even feel as if you're on a school property. With the right amount of work this course could easily be rated four stars. With some more course maintenance this place could be top-notch.

This course has a very nice layout, and plays just on the edge of campus so as not to get in anyone's way. The elevation changes are used very well, and there is a very nice variety to the holes. Overall I really like this course, and with some relatively cheap fixes this course could be very nice.

Maintenance is an issue, the grass is very long in some areas (even in the greens). Navigation is an issue, if you don't know this course you could spend a couple of hours trying to find your way around this course (bring a course map). I would recommend that you avoid playing this course by yourself, there are a few too many blind shots that can make your discs difficult to find.

The par for this course is ridiculous. I played the course as all par 3's and still scored a -1. I would recommend just playing them all as par 3's otherwise you could end up with an unrealistic score of -10 or -20.

Very scenic course, lots of rolling hills and elevation changes, quality chain baskets, mowed fairways, solid layout. Strictly a disc golf course behind the college campus. Nice mixture of wide open holes and tight, tunnel like holes thru trees.

No official tee-pads, just worn out dirt spots. Four holes missing signage (2,3,4,9). Recent construction eliminated Hole #3, had to make up our own hole #3 using #6 basket. Fallen trees and logs on a couple of fairways. The rough is extremely rough, high grass and bushes make finding stray discs difficult. Deerfly are awful this season, bring Off.

I really enjoy playing this course and wanted to score it higher, but had to be honest. Official tee-pads would be nice, signage needs updating, Hole #3 needs to be added back and some simple lawn work would do wonders. It could get up to a 4.0 rating fairly easy if the college wanted to do so.

Disc Golf Course only!- No one else biking, running, or to look out for other than golfers.

Great use of landscape, hills, tight-closed in areas, a few wide open driving opportunities.

Baskets clearly labeled.


Lots and lots of nature!

No Tee Pads, be prepared to look for dirt patches to know where to tee off from.

Hard to find signs/missing signs for tees: Some are in plain sight, others are hidden in brush off to the side, others are simply not anywhere to be found.

Very tight fairways with unforgiving rough. Wear long pants to avoid thistles, prickers, etc. Even brightly colored discs can be lost in the tall, thick brush.

A new parking lot being paved has wiped out Hole #3, no longer visible or playable, you must make your own.

Tee for Hole #4 is gone, must make your own starting point.

Thanks for uploading it Ricky Rick, it made playing a heck of a lot easier knowing where to go!
