Young man, there’s a place you can go 2+ years

Pros:

The Oldham YMCA design provides an excellent introduction to disc golf by offering a kid-friendly length combined with the appropriate amount of obstacles.

The rubber mats for teepads are a nice choice. While the mats aren't level on a couple holes, a long run-up won't be required.

The course offers a few typical disc golf features minus the distance. There's a narrow wooded hole, an uphill and downhill offering, and a creek that comes into play on a couple holes.

Hole #7 might be the best and prettiest hole with large rocks and a small creek on the left side of the fairway and several small trees closer to the basket that require some shot shaping.

I played the course in the early spring when it was in good condition, but I could see this course succumbing to tall grasses and extra growth during the summer.

This is a quick play that you can bag multiple times in an hour. The biggest time-consumers should be the walks - between Holes #1 and #2, and returning to the start after Hole #9.

Cons:

The course feels like mini golf. None of the holes exceed 150 feet, and two holes fall short of 100 feet. Grab a couple putters and leave your bulky bag in the car.

Navigation is a bit tough. The first hole is marked by a large stone in the ground. The walk between the first and second hole will take a few minutes. Follow the hand-painted red wooden markers in the ground along the path to the next hole.

A couple of the flimsy teepad signs are gone. The course flow might be intuitional, but a map will be useful.

The yellow, single-chain baskets are only a couple years old, but they're showing wear.

Due to a majority of the course being in a small valley near a creek, some spots will be susceptible to mud.

Other Thoughts:

This course is perfect for kids and novice disc golfers. For anyone with disc golf experience, their goal will likely be to record an ace or a nine-down round.
