Choppy flow, not very challenging, still fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

--Disc golf way out in BFE!
--Township employees were friendly and made a copy of the map for me
--1, 3, 4, 6, 9 are quality holes
--nice baskets with numbers (although you have to be about 10 feet away to read them)
--good use of the elevation

Cons:

--#2 is only about 100 feet
--#5, 7 and 8 are very short too, maybe 150'
--Tees are just posts with a number (#9 was missing its number)
--Map required first time you play for sure
--The layout is kind of wonky and has you backtracking and walking quite a ways to get to the next tee

Other Thoughts:

First tee is at the edge of the parking lot between the pavilion and the township office. Building looms to the left and there's a telephone pole straight in front. Take the mulch path up the hill into the woods for #2 which I really hope they extend somehow. #3 starts high and you can't see the basket. If you go short, right and into the woods here, it's thick and nasty. #4 has a few trees that give it some challenge. Also, the playground is lurking. #5 is very short but trees keep it from being too simple. Backtrack to #6 tee which is by the basketball court. #6 is pretty open and decent length.#7 tee is a few hundred feet away on the NE side of the maintenance building. Don't be fooled by the #9 tee which is really close to the #6 basket and is missing the number. #7 is another short one with trees protecting it. #8 is a little longer but still pretty plain. Head back across the parking lot to the #9 tee. A nice long open hole to finish. It runs right along Meddler and it would be pretty easy to lose one in the road.
The map they gave me says "Still under construction". I hope it means changing 2, 5, 7 and 8. Still nice to have a course in the area.
