I took a drive down to Oxbow to meet some folks that have recently acquired the disc golf addiction. Arriving at the High School, I was happy to find a very large athletic field in which to warm up my driving arm. The first and last holes are evident from the parking lot, as are a few other baskets in the distance. There are white tees with mixed teeboxes (mostly natural but some with small, 2x2ish cement "launch pads" at the end), as well as blue tees, usually marked with either blue ribbon or some other type of blue marking. These teepads were mostly functional, with a few being exceptions. Hole 8's teebox is a deathtrap. on top of a very steep, very tall hill, you have maybe 5 ft from front to back and 4 ft side to side on which to drive, with a scary drop on 3 sides. Not the hole to overstep on. On the plus side, there are many shots that use elevation to great effect, with a few downhill bombs as well as uphill slogs thrown in for good measure. You won't be bored by the shot variation, that's for sure. What you will get tired of is hunting for your discs in the overgrowth. Not only is the rough neigh impenetrable in many spots, the fairways on many holes are also severely overgrown. Along with clots of poison ivy, there was also a fair number of stinging nettle plants, as well as a patch of some kind of poisonous turnip (I'm not plant literate but one of my playing partners was shocked to see it on a course). Navigation also left much to be desired. Many of the trips from basket to tee were long, counterintuitive, and poorly marked. This would definitely be a course to use a guide on. It should be noted that many of the treks from hole to hole are a bit of a hike, so less fit disc golfers may not enjoy this course for that reason alone.
Overall, Oxbow is not a course to go out of your way to play, but it isn't unplayable if you've got a guide and thick skin for noxious plants and bugs. Good golf, poor maintenance and execution.
