The Preserve DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Ideal T-pads and excellent prodigy baskets.
Well designed layout with long holes and variation.
Mix of woods, shrubbery and open grassy areas.
Water hazards.
Owner of course lives onsite and takes pride in maintaining course. Everyone we met was friendly, good vibe.
Some food and drink available onsite.
Disc golf cart friendly terrain.
Uncrowded.
Lost a Raider, but was found by property owner next day.

Cons:

Off the beaten path.
No permanent signage at the t-pads (yet).
Not a lot of elevation change.
pay to play ($10- unlimited play for day).
Could use another hole requiring a turn-over type shot.
The 1000' par 5 could use some obstacles, looks like a landing strip currently.
Not much infrastructure very nearby (gas, food).

Other Thoughts:

Two of us from SoCal came to PA for 2 days of disc golf in mid October. We planned to play Jordan Creek this day but it was closed for a bike event so we stumbled upon this location. It is very different than the other PA courses we visited and both of us had a great experience. The property owner showed us to the first tee and gave us plenty of information about the course and stories of Eagle McMahon heroics on the par 5. Although there were no signs on the t-pads, Udisc app worked just fine, and Discmania signage is coming soon. We visited on a Saturday and had the place to ourselves, playing the course 2x in appx 4.5 hours. In the cons, I mentioned need for a turn-over shot. There are plenty of dog-legs on this course but not many requiring a more gentle fade or turn through the obstacles.
There are some epic holes on this course (3,17 and 18 come to mind). You will be challenged with not only distance but have to throw a variety discs and shot types. Well worth the trip and $10.

The Yin to Nocki's Yang 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Quality Prodigy T1 Targets.
Varied hole design making the most of the properties unique features.
Logical and relatively easy to follow layout.
Fantastic scenery.

Cons:

It's still a fresh course, there are no cons... rather items that will be addressed nearing its completion. The course markings and map will improve, the rough off the fairway will beat in a bit. It is hard to criticize the design of this course this early in in its infancy especially when it does so many things right.

Other Thoughts:

The Preserve is an insight into disc golf's future. This course has everything you need and is designed to test the mettle of the creme de la creme of players right now. The Par 66 layout is fantastically challenging offering you little room for respite but not being completely unattainable to the higher end of the amatuer field. You will need decent power to throw this course the course is long and you have to cover about 1000ft in one hole alone. My play through here took awhile but it succeeded in breaking me away from my phone and all my worries and give me hours of solid entertainment. I think 17 might have the most fantastic drive to throw out of any course I played yet (borderlining the greatness that is hole 18 on parkway). Overall this course has the potential for greatness I can't wait to see what the future brings and If you haven't yet.... get out here and see it for yourself!
