Tricky trickery at the winery

Reviewed: Played on:May 17, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is a prime example of why disc golf and WV are a perfect marriage. The shots require one to navigate undulating picturesque landscape.
From the whites: many of the lines are deceptively challenging. The holes are unique from each other. There are wooded, open bomber and a mixture of the two holes. The course is quiet and well maintained
The sidewinder gave a accurate description of the course. I agree with his review on all points.

Cons:

Many of the turf tee pads are not level but bumpy.
There are holes without pads or signs. A hole should be added after 5 shooting south down the alley to the left of 6's long pad. The walk between 5 and 6 is not pleasant and there is a solid hole to be made in between.

Other Thoughts:

The course designer did an excellent job of laying this course out. The land would allow for an additional 9 holes. If the cons were remedied and made into an 18 holes, it could easily be a 4 star rated course.

New Course Hopefully Ages like Fine Wine 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 19, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 holes with 3 turf tees and a single Veteran basket position. Tee sign by white tee. The different tees can vary the hole a good bit and 3 of the blue tees turn the hole into a legit par 4. Great mix of types of holes.

Course plays through a beautiful hilly tract of land with a nice variety of wooded and open terrain. Holes vary from mostly wooded, to mostly open, and from the woods to the open and vice versa. Navigation is fairly easy and quick to play. Course was spectacularly maintained like a ball golf course.

Favorite holes... hole 4 from the white tee a downhill tunnel, hole 5 from the blue tee multi-shot tunnel, and hole 7 from the white tee big open downhill bomb were my favorites.

Free to play. Vineyard with bar and shop and restrooms. Nice pavilion with more restrooms by course. Pretty pond and property in general.

Cons:

The turf tees are really the only con. They are short, lumpy and terrible. Better off teeing off from the natural ground nearby the tees. Some of the fairways are still a little rough on the ground from the excavator. Tee signs on all tees would help. I accidentally threw to basket 9 from hole 2 blue tee.

Personal design preference, I'd move basket 6 up top the hill to where blue tee 7 is, and move blue tee 7 over to the other side of the trees for an unobstructed view of the basket and force a straighter shot. I much preferred the white tee on 7.

Other Thoughts:

I heard say about this becoming an 18 hole course. I'd love to see that. Given the property terrain and first 9 holes, this could become a destination course if the back 9 is of similar caliber to the front 9 and upgraded the tees. I found it funny the owner hates ball golf and is why he bought the old ball golf course to make it into a disc golf course.

Overall Twin Oaks Disc Golf Course @ Daniel Vineyards is already a great new course as is and would anticipate it only getting better as it ages like fine wine. Highly recommend to anyone to play here if anywhere nearby.
