Course Designed With Campers In Mind!

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 24, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is at the 1000 Trails campground which is about a 30 minute drive from Leavenworth. The course is designed with the casual camper in mind. It's not designed to challenge or even entertain the typical disc player. The course plays around a couple of small ponds and by a very small creek, more like a ditch really. The baskets are Discatchers with numbers on the sides. Maps are available when you pay your $5. The course is pretty easy to follow using the map and holes description on the map. There is a variety of holes, some open, some around the water and one wooded.

Cons:

The teepads are really bad. They're natural with small logs used for borders. This course will not challenge anyone who has played more than three times. The course is not worth paying $5 to play.

There are three Par 2's on the course. At most courses, they would be Par 3's and make for easy birdies. For the campers, I'd make them all Par 3's and maybe give them a chance for the occasional bird.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a long way from anywhere. I'm glad it's not my home course. The drive here is only worth it if you ARE A SERIOUS COURSE BAGGER trying to hit all the courses in the state. If not, this is a good one to skip. But before I rip it too much, I'm happy that they have thought to put in this course for the campers. The sport of Disc Golf continues to grow.

WARNING! The baskets are not put out until April or May depending on the weather and whims of the maintenance staff. I don't know when they take them down but I'd call before driving all this way to play in late fall or early spring.

Not worth the money or drive 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 18, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

There is a nice pond on the course and a cute little stream running through most of the course too that affect your approach shots. The course flows around back to the parking lot. The baskets are in nice condition. There is little traffic from disc golfers on this course.

Cons:

The drive is a long one even from downtown Leavenworth or any where on highway 2. $5 is a lot to play for this course. There are no signs or markers helping you along the way. Some of the holes are a little too wide open for my taste, if they had a better pin location it would make the hole much harder. The tee pads are horribly grown over and need to be cement anyway. There is an area on one of the holes where you can throw it into a small marshy area, but from the tee pad it just looks like bushes and you can easily lose a disc in there because you can't go after it.

Other Thoughts:

Not really worth the trip or the money to play. A little tip: if you go on the weekend later in the day there is no guard for the retreat so playing is free but it still doesn't make it worth playing sadly.
