Best Course I've Ever Played! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 16, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Couldn't imagine a better course. Beautifully maintained and designed. Plus a community center for bathrooms and even a public pool if you're going in-season. Couldn't have a better experience. Parking was plentiful and everything was well marked.

Cons:

I can't think of a single negative. I can't wait to go back.

This course rocks drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 5, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course, located in a New York State Park is amazing. There are two tees and two baskets on every one of the 18 holes. One of the best parts of this course is that each of the four combinations is a very different hole. Sometimes the same hole will be a technical short shot on one layout and a bomb on another. One layout is lefty-friendly and one righty-friendly. It is hard to design all 4 combinations this well so consistently.

The park is beautiful with great views of the Catskill Hills and wild oregano growing everywhere. The NY Long Path actually winds through holes 4 through 8.

The course is really two 9-hole courses back to back with a long walk between them on opposite sides of the parking area. The front 9 are mostly open shots with trees protecting the baskets. Hole 1 is a 550 foot bomb. Hole 5 is a signature hole with the short basket on top of a mound 30 foot in diameter, 15 feet off the ground, - playing 250 feet and uphill 20 feet, with a great mountain view behind the basket, a hard birdie.

The back 9 are more technical with lots of elevation holes, and thicker woods. Hole 14 is another signature hole - a stunning downhill hole through a tunnel to a basket nestled between two large trees.

It is the best course I have played in NY, and IMO one of the ten best in the USA. Wilcox State Aprk, Joralemon and Hyzer Creek are also excellent NY courses but I rank this slightly higher.

The grounds of this course are meticulously trimmed (thanks to the state of NY), and the OB and rough are clearly marked. The views are spectacular and there is public swimming pool and snack bar for kids or friends, or after the round. Excellent signage -- except for the long walk between 9 and 10.

Cons:

Only the long walk between hole 9 and 10.

Other Thoughts:

One of the ten best courses I have ever played.

Christmas Day 2015, sunny , 60 degrees ... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 25, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

What can be better than discovering a new course and a beautiful Christmas Day ? So after 1.45h drive we saw the baskets - it was absolutely worth it ! We played the orange to orange layout and every whole was different and interesting, the second 9 have a few really amazing shots. We liked #10 and #14 most. Very well marked and concrete tees easy to find and play.

Cons:

Nothing really, bring good shows, since it is a nice up and down in the woods and can be wet after rainy days.

Other Thoughts:

we will come back, for sure

Hidden Gem in the Catskills 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 12, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It has everything. Wide open bomb holes, tight technical shots, monster mountain shots (up & down), shots over water, etc. Whatever you're looking for, it is at Mine Kill. The course has two tees and two baskets on every hole; allowing for 4 unique layouts. Most of the holes offer multiple routes to the green, making the experience even more fun. The course was installed and is maintained by a team of well-equipped and well-experienced park staff who understand disc golf. The fairways are trimmed low and the course is kept in the utmost condition. The course overlooks the Schoharie Valley and the Gilboa-Blenheim Dam. The views of the mountains & valley are spectacular and the foliage in the fall is breathtaking.

Cons:

It's in a remote location; away from "civilization". Most players will have to travel relatively far to experience this course.

The course is long and brutal. It will beat you up if you're not in shape.

Carry in / Carry out Park. Please take your trash with you.

Bathrooms, pool and park amenities are seasonal.

Other Thoughts:

The park's pool and amenities are only open during their summer hours. The course is open all year round but the gates close at different times during the year. Check their website or call the park for info. During summer hours, there is a small fee to enter the park (like $3+/- or so) Waived with Empire Passport.
