Very cool use of area
Long tee shots that make you think
Great signage

Very hilly, but that's not a super bad thing.
Rough is rough, needs beaten down some more. Played a few weeks ago and it was barren in the lowland, now just looks overgrown.

I like this course a lot. I'm always one for newer courses (It's a couple years old now) and the designers of this course definitely wanted to create a more methodical course. This course is not designed to just go out and rip it and hope for the best. This course requires you, more so forces you to think about your shots and all of the technical stuff too. You could just go out and rip it, but you will likely end up in some tall rough, down a steep hill, or in the drink on a few holes. Be prepared for a hike because it is a decent distance between tee pad and holes. Uphill and downhill shots and long drives are a favorite of mine, but can go very wrong very quick. This course is not for beginners, but is a good cardio course for those looking to improve the technical aspects of their game (Drive distance, footwork, hitting lines). Takes about 2ish hours to play if you are a consistent par golfer. I would definitely recommend.

I love the baskets out at Scioto. They are in really great shape and catch everything.

Tee pads are nice and concrete. Brand new so not a lot of wear and tear.

The maps are well done. They have good yardages.

Scioto does an excellent job of using elevation. There are a lot of downhill tee offs and uphill baskets. You have to be very accurate on these uphill shots. I love playing down into the valley.

This is in a Metro Park so there are bathrooms around.

There is running water at the bathrooms.

Great variety of hole distances. You really have to make the birdie holes count out at Scioto because the long holes are very tough.

Huge variety of shots required at Scioto. I seriously used so many discs. XXX Opto, Firebird for Thumbers and Tommys, OS Buzz, Blizzard Krait, some Westside fairway driver, Shark, Gator, Valkyrie. I used them all for specific things.

For sure a mix of tight and technical and open bombs. The valley provides some great open bomb holes. There are some some really tight holes out here like #2 and #13.

Scioto is extremely challenging. You must be deadly accurate on your mid ranges. Your putts will look easy but it will be a high to low putt or vice versa. The tight gap holes provide a challenge for the long arms and the open bombs are just a little out of reach for the more accurate players.

Parking is great and right by #1. A little walk back to your car from #18.

Scioto does provide some fantastic scenic beauty. This park is really really nice. I played it as the sun was going down and was extremely impressed with how cool the course looked.

Not very crowded as it is so new.

I have to give the course design a negative right now because honestly it is a little unsafe.

The giant hill after the tee off on #3 is hard for even experienced discers to use. I couldnt imagine what this would be like after a hard rain.

Foliage maintenance is not very good either. It is new so I expect it to be cleared out a little but I have lost a disc here both times I have played it.

No epic holes that I can think off. I was going to say #11 but it there isn't anything crazy epic about it.

No Camping

This course is new so I doubt there are a lot of events out here. It is pretty hard so even if they do a tournament out here it might have to be a doubles event.

The locals are honestly not that great. The put the course right next to the archery range and talk about a completely different crowd.

Overall the scenic beauty and challenge that Scioto has to offer makes it probably the best of the Metro Park courses. It is so new it might have to go through some of the growing pains to bring it to its best potential. The ropes on the course have to be changed into stairs and soon or someone will get injured badly. I would play this course maybe once a month if I lived in the area. Go check it out if you live in Columbus.
