- navigation is decent (tee signs help mark tee locations and let you know where next tee is)
- easy access with plentiful parking
- rare interaction with other park users; not too busy with disc golfers either

- lack of line shaping overall
- baskets pretty rusty
- the walk after hole nine!
- tees are terrible to nonexistent (sometimes ruts in dirt, other times nothing), and this is especially problematic due to the sloped terrain near many tee signs

I would have had more fun here except that I played on the way to Knob Hill, and I was already tired after playing several of Pittsburgh's better courses earlier in the day. The golf here was pretty ordinary, though there were some fun shots. Maybe my favorite was a downhill on hole 3, throwing around a mature tree. It's a very simple shot, but was fun and is a shot I am yet to master. Hole 4 was the only real line-shaper, but not particularly memorable or fun. From 5 to the end, at least three were RHBH hyzer shots with trees along the left side. There was really just one shot where I needed left to right action. The golf wasn't terrible but felt a bit repetitive.

This course reminded me that one of my pet peeves are sloping fairways. Hole 2's slopes pretty steeply from right to left the whole way, and it just makes walking the fairway miserable, even with decent hiking shoes. Maybe this would be better with a path cut into the slope?

Somewhere I saw that this was an Eagle scout project. Interestingly, I've only played one other course with such a long walk back to the course start, and it was another Eagle scout project in Lindsay, OK. Maybe Eagle scouts just don't consider walking an issue? The two farthest points on the entire course (hole 9's basket and hole 2's basket) are a little under 2300' as the crow flies (thank you Google maps). The first tee is about 2100' from 9's basket, so yes, almost as far apart as the course designer could have made it. This seems even farther when including the elevation and the lack of a direct line back. Although the course flow is fine, this long walk from the course's end to the parking area is inconvenient, somewhat exhausting, and downright frustrating and mind-boggling for a first timer. Although the designer did an adequate job using what appears to have been a narrow strip of land available for holes 5 through 9, it just seems like some adjustments should have been made to avoid this...

After 9, I was tempted to walk the course in reverse to ensure I didn't get lost. However, the gravel then paved trail right after hole 9 helped make the 10-15 minute return journey slightly less painful. DEFINITELY TAKE THIS PATH! Another option would have been to create my own holes while playing the course backwards.

Rating: I'll give it a 2.0 for reasonable. The golf wasn't bad for a 2.0, but that walk from 9 to 1 was so long that I'm knocking the rating a little bit. It's a beautiful setting and does have some fun (but almost all open) holes. With so many good courses in the area, I probably won't be making it back.

Located in a very big park that has a huge playground, a pool, tennis courts, and walking/hiking paths. There is plenty of parking and a bathroom near the first tee. This a good course to bring the family to while you play a quick round, as the course isn't spread out too far and it only takes 20-30 minutes to play. The first 6 holes play close to the rest of the park, but the last 3 start to venture a little far away. It is located right off Rt. 989 and is minutes away from Knob Hill and Linbrook.

-The tee signs are in good shape, show hole distances, pars, mark O.B., and a few of them point you to the next tee.
-The DISCatchers catch well
-This is a good course to take beginners to, as most of the holes are open but they will have a chance to throw as far as they can
-While this is a simple beginner course, hole length isn't sacrificed (except for 9)
-Nice variety of hole lengths and hyzer, anhyzer, and straight shots. The designers did a good job of using the elevation changes well here, most notably on holes 2 and 3.
-Holes 1-3 play around the center of the park, then the course flows well in one constant direction
-The road is O.B., adding to the technicality of several holes

-The chains in the baskets are pretty rusty on most of the holes
-There is a steep slope and nasty rough on the edges of 7-9, so be careful to make sure that your disc stays on the fairways here
-Tees are natural, and are played on sloping hills or bumpy ground for the first few holes
-The basket for hole 2 has been missing all of 2013. I heard they took it down in the winter for a sledding competition, so they must've never made the effort to put it back up
-Since the course heads in one direction (away from the first 3 holes) there is a long walk back to the parking lot. I'd recommend playing the course backwards instead, since you're walking back in that direction anyways.
-A sign to hole 4 would help, it is located to the left of the barn

My favorite holes here are:

3- A nice downhill shot that gives you a chance to really watch you disc glide. The big tree in the middle offers either a big hyzer or anhyzer line.
4-A tunnel shot through low hanging trees with an anhyzer line to the basket
7-A very long, but pretty tight, line to the basket

It's pretty easy to get around the course and every hole is marked pretty well, with the exception of hole 7 which is missing its sign. Starts with a few wide open holes with fun elevation changes to make things interesting. There are a couple of longer holes where you can test your arm, but still have to be able to locate where you land your drives. The course finishes with a couple of nice, short holes through the woods.

Biggest con is the fact that the end of the 9th hole is a long walk from the parking lot. This course dropped from a 2.5 to a 2 because of the long walk. The tees could use a bit of work too. I don't mind natural tees, but the ones here are very rough and uneven. Digging them out a bit would make a pretty big difference here.

The rough can be pretty intense on this course. There is some serious tall grass along the fairway on 4. If you happen to go in there you can be in trouble.
