Pros:
First of all, huge props to the boy scout that was able to make this course possible, raising that much money for a course like this would definitely cause most of us trouble. I appreciate the boy scout allowing other designers, and those more experienced than him to give advice, as most boy scout/eagle scout project courses that I have seen (3-4) have been designed very poorly or unsafely.
Fun factor- This course presents a tremendous amount of fun, unlike most courses, this place does not punish an errant shot too badly and will allow the more average or recreational player to not only have fun and get hooked, but enjoy the course as well. Some of the course may grow in during the summer, and make some of the more wooded holes tougher, most of the holes play along grassy areas where the county mows.
Variety- This course, although not overly challenging, and very rewarding, does force the average golfer to execute specific lines on each hole and will allow the local to develop a well-rounded game and a variety of shots. Many of the holes have a plethora of lines that one can choose to take off of the tee, once again making the player need to have multiple types of shots to score well. Many of the par 4's incorporate a very good amount of Risk vs. Reward, as most are reachable, if somebody with a big arm chooses to go for it. The thing with this is that there are specific landing zones in the fairway that are designed for the average player to land, where those who throw farther, can throw a midrange or a putter too, and have a fairly difficult upshot. However, the risk with trying to bite off more, is that most of the holes where one has the opportunity to do this, the shot required to get farther down the fairway and towards the green requires a more, precise/difficult/risky line, that is usually much harder to hit. There is also a small creek/ditch (may change depending on recent weather) that comes into play on several holes, creating some picturesque greens, challenging OB's, and interesting putts. The course also incorporates a good amount of elevation (especially for this area). There are some areas on this course that will teach locals to throw a precision low shot, because of some ceiling issues on many holes.
Overall course design- The course itself is designed fantastically, and thought is put into nearly every hole. There is a variety of par 4's, which are balanced out with an abundance of par 3's and a single par 5.
Feel- This course has a very cool feeling, as most of the course is what I would consider somewhat wooded, plenty enough to force lines, but the fairways are full of grass make the course look very cool.
Cons:
Although most of the cons are fairly minute compared to the rest of the course, they still have to be expressed
I feel as though, although some may not agree with me, that there are a few 2-3 filler holes on the course, and with the land available, could be executed.
The other cons have to do with the relative new-ness of this course, and that is signage and teepads. Most of the signs are laminated paper mounted on small wooden poles, although I am sure this will change in the future, and I will update when necessary. Furthermore, along the same lines, the teepads are now natural and although there are plans to upgrade these in the future, this remains a con as of now.
The course also has a few overhanging branches as of the last time I played, and may have to be cleaned up, as a good shot could be penalized unfairly because of this.
Other Thoughts:
Overall, this is a fantastic course, and a great addition to the New Jersey disc golf scene. I am eager to see this course evolve over time, as I think the locals are very passionate and will do a great job.
