Surprising 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 3, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Surprisingly nice little course with a variety of throws needed.
The best thing is that it is only 26 miles from where I live and until the Shelbyville course goes in it is the closest course to me.
And, even better, I ACED #6 the first time I threw there.

Cons:

The tees were pretty bad but were better than nothing (for turf tees they stayed down really well). Level concrete tees would be a great improvement.
The walk from #4 to #5 was a long uphill hike and if I had not taken a picture of the map it would have been hard to locate. I don't believe I want to play #s 5 and 6 in the summer since I am sure it will be so overgrown. That woodpile on #5 HAS to be removed. While the mando on #1 works it really doesn't for #10. I wonder how many RHBH throwers put their stable- overstable discs out on the highway with its surprisingly busy traffic.
A particular pet peeve of mine is the presence of green briars and wild rose bushes. They have no place on a disc golf course and should be removed. I consider them to be a safety hazard and are pure evil.

Other Thoughts:

Fix the tees and get rid of the sharp pointy things and I might give it a 3 or 3.5.
I was surprised to see 2 other guys playing when we got there - it is pretty remote.
I was all ready to be condescending and critical (see below) of this course but I liked it enough that I'll return and play it some more. I understand the KY State Park people really don't see the benefit of having a disc golf course and have talked about taking out the course at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park and aren't taking care of the one at Rough River. They shot down the guys that tried, for 10 years,to get a course at Taylorsville Lake State Park and they even had 19 baskets and signs. It seems that the State can't understand why the courses that are so far away from anywhere don't get a lot of use and when they could have put a championship caliber course at Taylorsville which is a short drive from a large vibrant disc golf community in Louisville they wouldn't allow it.
