Happy to have a course near home 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 28, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is laid out with the best the school had to work with. 1st hole has nice strategic approach with little room for error. The rest of the holes are pretty much wide open fields hugging the tree lines or just plain ol in the middle of a field. I felt like I was the only one who's ever played the course cause there was little signs of previous players. So you won't be delayed by heavy player traffic. Signs were there but could use updating

Cons:

Had to walk ahead before my shot to make sure I was aiming at the right basket. The signs could use a you are here facing this way or something. Just oriented wrong. Watch out for soccer and football practices. I had to throw over some guys out there practicing. Number nine basket is bent and leaning could use repair but still playable. School leaves building materials and equipment in the fairways. No precise placement required except hole 1

Other Thoughts:

Good place to practice throwing new disc or fine tuning your throws since it's open fields. Interesting looking woods on the outskirts of the fields could be used if it's the schools property for upgrading the course and make it more interesting

Nice round of golf 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 2, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-This is a decent nine hole course at a nice high school. It's mostly open with some woods here and there, the first hole is wooded and there are a few wooded basket locations. Average hole length is 332' with distances ranging from 140' to 665'.
-I personally wasn't fond of #2 like heelboycraig was but I did like the elevated green. It's definitely the best green on the course. The hole is a blind shot that goes downhill and very slightly to the right.
-Nice tee signs and 28 chain disCatchers.
-Holes 7 and 8 utilize elevation very well. #7 is a nice uphill drive with the basket into the woods to the right side. #8 is a fun par 4 that plays as a dogleg right. It's a fun downhill anhyzer drive on a hill that slopes left. It demands a nice right turn for a birdie but if your shot goes straight or left, you will have to really work for the birdie.
-I agree that #6 isn't that great of a hole, however, I really enjoyed the chance to bomb my drive 400+. I didn't but still took an eagle. This hole is a 401' par 4 beside a soccer field.
-Ends well with a good hole 9. It's the longest on the course at 665' long and it's a par 5. It plays as a dogleg right and goes slightly uphill.
-Great variety of fairways. A few straight holes but most fairways turned right. Only 1 turned left, it didn't bother me but it would be nice if there was another fairway that turned left.
-Nice part of town, several gas stations nearby and restaurants to eat out at, like Hardee's.

Cons:

-The grass was pretty high. The woods are a problem on #2. They are very heavy and the grass is very high in the woods and its just waiting to eat a disc.
-I wasn't satisfied with the start, sure #1 is the only wooded hole but it's just too short and boring with almost no fairway. #2 isn't bad but you won't want to play this hole by yourself, you will want a lookout guy. The grassy woods are pretty bad and it's a blind tee shot.
-Natural tees but that's expected for a school course. You can still have a natural run up on every hole.
-This property has a lot of elevation and has woods all around. The cross country course uses a good bit of that but not ALL of it, I think there could be another wooded hole.

Other Thoughts:

-This is good for a nice quick round. I can play it in 30 minutes. It's worth some of your time up here because for a nine holer, this has some good variety.
-Heelboycraig summed this course up perfectly, I don't really have anything else to say other than it being a nice quick round, none of the holes really stand out but most are pretty solid with one being very well designed, and that hole is 8!
