Pros:
Beautiful park and disc golf course through and through. There were a variety of shots......wooded, water hazards, mandos, island and elevation. The course has short and long tees which adds even more to the variety of shots to be thrown. The course is a lot of fun while still being technical.

Other Thoughts:
Most-popular course in the state according to 2020 U-Disc statistics.
Par from short tees is roughly 900-rated golf.
Par from long tees is roughly 950-rated golf.
If you're traveling on I-64 East you can stop off at the Hurricane rest area and walk onto the course near hole #4's basket. This is a good access point if you only want to play a few holes or are visiting the course during peak traffic hours.
Several "Signature" holes with unique features including...
#1 - An immediate water shot straight out of the car.
#2 - A blind shot with a twisting fairway
#12 - Plays along a meandering creek
#14 - Downhill bomber hole with water hazard
#15 - Island hole in the shape of Putnam County
#16 - Triple Mando doorway homage to USDGC
#17 - Elevated pyramid basket
#18 - Great finishing hole - Long downhill placement shot off the tee followed by a tricky mandatory (Par 4)
