Blood Pumping 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 22, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course will get your blood pumping. Partly from the steep and nearly constant elevation change, partly from the mix of exhilaration and terror you experience on many of the tee pads. According to a card-mate's fitness tracker, once around the course was over 700 feet (70+ stories) of elevation change. I was more worn out after one round here than after two rounds at most courses. There are more unique tee shots here than any other course in the area, mostly due to the terrain and elevation change that it incorporates.

There are nice amenities on site as part of the camping/recreational area.

Cons:

The course does not let up. Nearly every shot is steeply up or down hill, and the few that are level still throw across hills or a ravine. A number of holes require a spotter to avoid losing discs, either because of blind fairways or thick trees or both. I never thought I'd say this, but the course could use one or two bland flat holes for "variety" and to allow you to catch your breath!

There is essentially one set of tees. There are short tee location markers, but they are just markers with no tee pad, so the options for new/casual/young golfers is limited.

Other Thoughts:

I had the pleasure of playing this course during the annual Storrs Pond disc golf tournament and thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe it is an excellent course for tournaments -- the challenging nature of the course makes for natural score separation.

On the other hand, if I want a casual fun round with friends or family, I'm not going to Storrs Pond. The course is way too demanding to be called "fun" for the casual disc golfer.
