Reviewed: Played on:Sep 20, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Okay , 9 baskets , orange in color in an area . The baskets are placed around in this area . No more pros

Cons:

Okay . I am not sure if this qualifies as a course . When you go down Parchment Valley Road , you will see a couple of orange colored baskets on your right . Don't proceed to the conference center and waste time looking for the beginning of this course . What you saw a quarter mile back was it . There is really no place to park at #1 , near a maintenance building , in the very front of this trailer camp park . The grass was a little long , but not too bad . There was a bare spot on the ground of this field , so I figured to park the car near the second basket , off the gravel road walk a couple of hundred yards back to where I could throw at the first of only 2 baskets that I saw so far . I threw at one , stepped sideways a few feet and threw to the second one , then drove back over a short cement bridge , parking in the grass off the road , I saw a 3rd basket up a hill , so I threw from the road up the hill and retrieved my disc from the single chained basket . I thne guessed to follow the gravel road to my right , leading me to a lake and 3 more baskets set about . The baskets are numbered , but where do you throw from ? This place always keep you guessing . #4 basket to your left , 5 slightly up the hill , #6 hidden in a large circle , lower on the right after you walk by the lake , #7 basket by some fi trees . I looked and looked all over for #8 . After discouragingly walking back past the lake , VOILA ! The basket was hidden for you to find when you were walking back to your car , on the left side of the gravel road you walked past the lake on . I threw that , then looked for 9 . Got in my car , drove over the little bridge , and what do you know . There was a basket up on the hill under some trees , kind of up and away from #2 but on the opposite side of the road . I should get a prize , or a finders fee , for locating all of this place's baskets . No map , no tees , no effort to drive to to play . I don't think I would get my disc bag out of my car , even if I had camped in their camp ground . Hey Parchment Valley Winter Lake . How can you judge hole distances like they did here when you don't have anywhere to throw from ? Hey , Parchment Valley , Put some bricks down , or some toe boards , get on DGR and print a map out , and maybe someone will take this as a real course ....

Other Thoughts:

I have said about everything I need to on the cons section of my review . If this was even an add on for the campers to do if they were bored , Parchment Valley missed on this disaster of a course . Pretend it's not there and drive on past Lower Parchment Valley Rd to go to Cedar Lakes , 5 miles away . Thumbs down on this one . DO NOT PLAY IT !
