Finally a good course in Wooster Ohio drive by

Pros:
Wooster Ohio has been in need of a good disc golf course for years.. and it's finally here!!
This is such a great area to have a good course. I used to have to travel 45-60 min just to play a good course. But now I can drive 10 min and be at hole #1 ready to play. It's a fun course for regular players, but is still beginner friendly. I've taken two of my friends there for their first rounds ever. Everyone had a great time!
I'm excited to see when leagues and tournaments start here as there are great options to grab some food and drinks in downtown Wooster. Two of my favorites are Meatheads and the Wooster Brewery JAFB.
They pushed really hard to get the front 9 ready and playable for the start of the 2022 fall semester. The back 9 will be installed at a later date.

Cons:
The back 9 is not installed yet. I'm not sure when they plan to install the back 9. Hopefully it will be over the summer of 2023 at the absolute latest.
Some benches and trash cans are needed around the course as there are some long walks in-between holes.
The fairways could be mowed shorter to allow for skips of the discs. Currently they just grab everything. You have to play for no skips.
Some better signage is needed on the course. The tee signs are very generic. More info is needed to address how out of bounds and mandatories play. An example is hole #3. There are two trees directly ahead of the tee box. I assume those are meant to be mandatories and you have to throw in-between them (up the middle). But there is a big RH hyzer forehand play to the left of the trees as they are not marked as mando's. Another example is hole #2. The walking path right behind the basket is not marked as OB. But I would assume that anything beyond (south) of the path would be OB, especially considering that part of the grass is into hole #7's fairway.

Other Thoughts:
This is a great course to play already and will only get better as more people play the course and review it. Please visit the course and leave reviews to help this course grow. Let's show OSU that they did a great thing for the local community putting in a good course for everyone to enjoy.
