Decent short course... 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Jun 28, 2014
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
- Campgrounds and course maps handed out at park entrance that are fairly accurate
- Clean grounds with some trashcans around the course
- No problems with non-disc golfers being in the way (at least today for us)
- Clearly marked "tees" and baskets are pretty obvious and visible from the tees with maybe 1 exception where you are playing into the woods
-Food, drinks, restrooms, gameroom, fishing, and swimming pool all available on the grounds right next to the course.
- No course traffic. Basically had the course to ourselves, with the exception of one family playing on our second round.

Cons:
- Entrance fee. It's $5 on weekdays and $6 on weekends... per person. Keep in mind that gives you access to a lot more than just disc golf. But, if you are only interested in playing disc golf, I feel that if you want to pay to play, you'll get much more for your money at Blendon Woods.
- Not a lot of "character". Most shots are straight or slight hyzers. A couple of lower ceiling shots. One anhyzer hole in the woods with a very tight gap.
- All holes are short. Everything is totally doable in 2 with just midranges and putters. Don't think anything there was over maybe 260-280'.
- Only 9 holes. That's not a con in and of itself, but when there are not really any memorable/signature-type holes... meh.

Other Thoughts:
My wife and I decided to check this course out today, just out of curiosity. The campgrounds and course are pretty well kept and clean. They are natural tees, which are pretty well marked and visible. You will still probably benefit from having a map the first round you play there, though.
The holes are all short with no real elevation changes. I would say that most were around 200 to 260-280ish feet, though I can't confirm the actual distances, as we passed on the score card that was offered at the park entrance booth (thinking distances would be marked at each tee, which they weren't).
It was a fun little course. Nothing dificult, except maybe hole 7, where you have an anhyzer shot with a very tight gap to hit or you are likely going to have tree trouble.
Was it worth $12? Not really. There are plenty of other courses around Columbus that offer much more from a disc golf perspective for free. That said, if you are going to be camping there anyway or want somewhere to take the kids for a cookout, fishing, swimming, or other general outdoor activities, just be aware that there is a short, fun little 9 hole course on-site that is very beginner friendly where you can stash your drivers and get in some casual disc golf with the family.
