Pros:
+ This relatively short 9 hole course is mostly flat. Holes 1-5 are in a park setting, with just a few trees on each hole to contend with. Mind the briars/thick vines on holes 4 (entry to woods), 5 (right side treeline), and the woods holes. These are likely nasty in the summer. Hole 4 is about 75' in the woods, after maybe a 200' fairway shot--look for a small clearing. Pretty nice for a shorter hole.
Holes 6-9 start just past the camper check in building, and are wooded, with decently open fairways, though at ground level they are not super cleared out. I played in winter, and going off the fairway wasn't a big deal, but I imagine in summer it would be. Hole 6 is a fairly basic RHBH hyzer. The basket is still damaged, I just treated as an object, not a basket. Hole 7 is a quite short ace run. Hole 8 a nice turnover or forehand for the RH player. Hole 9 is a longer downhill with some brush that goes up about 4', so one has to play over that first. It's a nice hole.
OTHER PROS:
+Decent flow, one can play 1-5, or all 9 easily.
+Plenty of parking
+Year round pit style toilets
+Easy to get to in John Bryan State Park--right next to camping area
+Food close by in Yellow Springs, several other courses within 20-30 minutes--Xenia, Springfield, and Cedarville
+We were only players on a nice winter day (43 degrees).
Cons:
-Hole 6 basket still heavily damaged
-Grass teepads
-No benches, tee signs (just wood posts with hole #), or next tee signs (Udisc quite helpful)
-Holes 6-9, while having decent fairways, could still be cleared out better, as I think in summer the ground cover is pretty rough, especially hole 9. But in winter--it was fine.
-Holes 4-9 have some nasty vines, try to stay out of those. They are bad in winter, likely worse in summer.
Other Thoughts:
*Discatcher baskets ok but chains getting just a little stiff.
*Little elevation, except a slight downhill on hole 9, which was a pretty fun hole.
*Overall, this is a novice/rec player friendly course. Intermediate and up will only be challenged on a few holes.
*I would play again, but wouldn't travel more than an hour to do so.
*Would be a star higher with teepads, tee signs, next tee indicators, clearing out some vines, and better cleared holes 6-9.
*Cart, but not wheelchair friendly.
* No water or O/B that I saw, though road might be played O/B on hole 1.
*I am in my 50s, 50 or so courses played, 875ish.
