- Course is set on a picturesque piece of property set up atop limestone bluffs with a castle.

- Basic baskets which I don't remember what kind they were but they caught fine and did the job.

- Decent distances which will at least somewhat challenge players with bigger arms. Hole 1 has some woods / rough on the left. Holes 2-4 give you a chance to rip one across the open fields. Holes 5-9 are a little bit more technical.

- Private course at a Presbyterian Church retreat. Ideally only registered guests are suppose to play here but I think as long as you sign in at the main building, they don't mind folks playing here. I ran into one of the workers here on Thanksgiving day and he told me go ahead and play although, it "isn't a public park" as he put it.

- Layout isn't the greatest after hole 4 as you're throwing up (and down) some of the gravel roads on the property. I got a little lost after hole 6 as hole 7's sign post is a little hard to see. Hole 9 you're throwing down a gravel road with the basket 200 or so feet to the left.

- Grass teepads for now with very basic sign posts with the hole number on them. Hole 2's sign post started rotting and had to be removed apparently. Not sure what happened to hole 9's sign post. No pars or anything else listed on the posts.

Stronghold Castle DGC is a pretty basic course on a very cool, historic piece of property that is technically private but it seems like they are pretty lax with people coming here to play as long as you check in with them ahead of time. They do host events and also let people rent the place out so if that is the case you might not be able to play here. The worker I ran into told me that it is possible that they will expand the course to 9 more holes making it an 18 but who knows.
