Rock Solid Disc Golf Course is located right next to the Big Boom Fireworks Store in Holden. In fact, you pay your $5 (cash only please) in the fireworks store. The course starts right out front with the first tee out close to the Hi-way. The first 4 holes plus # 8 have green metal tee signs. The rest of the 18 holes had simple printed signs just saying the hole #. Most of the tee pads are raised wooden platforms. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow bands and #'s on them.

You can see that there has been a tremendous amount of cutting, trimming and clearing here, especially on the front nine. The terrain on the back nine is not as thick with brush. I liked it more.

The course plays at a recreational level. Very few holes are 300' and there are a few on the new back nine playing around 120'.

The signature hole for me was # 11. It's a very pretty hole, 240' downhill and very tight. There are two chairs at the pad for players to sit on.

There is a hodge podge of tee signs.

No teepad on # 17 yet although the boards are there.

There are quite a few holes with a slight anhyser route needed. I am willing to bet this course was designed by a player who throws forehand.

# 17 really doesn't really have a fair, clear route route to the basket.

When I paid my $5 to the girl in the fireworks stand, I asked her for a map. No map! She handed me a blank index card and told me it was keep score on. When I play a Per Pay Course (even a measly $5) I expect to at least get a course map. Now maybe the problem is, the course has just expanded to 18 holes, and perhaps the new maps haven't been made up yet.

This is a nice solid 18 hole course now. Nothing spectacular! But if I lived in this area, I'd feel OK about playing this course.
