Spotter, long pants, and a machete required!

Pros:

Finding the course is simple, just follow the large signs that say "Disc Golf" and have an arrow pointing you in the right direction. Navigation is quite simple just look for the old, blank tee signs and throw from that vicinity because there are no official tee pads, only grass. There is old white caution tape that guides you to the basket as there are several blind shots here but because of overgrowth not because of course design. The design is really good for a middle school out in the middle of nowhere and though most of the holes are putter shots the layout and theory of said holes is quite good; in short: whomever designed it had an idea of what a course should look like. Several routes to each hole even when a fairway looks forced which I like quite a bit. All of the baskets are in great shape even though number nine is leaning it doesn't wiggle loose so that's good.

Cons:

Nettles, nettles, and more nettles. Also sticker bushes and other pointy bushes and sticks ready to poke you in the eye or somewhere else. Oh yeah and nettles; did I mention nettles? The course is overgrown in the winter with knee high nettles (NETTLES!!!!!) so I can't even imagine what August is gonna look like. A few fairways tree limbs need to be trimmed slightly to open the route up or bring in a new route; mostly speaking about hole eight but a few others wouldn't hurt either. No defined tee pads I guess is fine when you're fooling around but it would be nice to have a set spot because stepping right or left or back even a few feet you can gain an advantage over the course or your buddy. I had a decent time here with my dad but I wouldn't attempt playing it by myself with discs I care about.

Other Thoughts:

The course is laid out well and the holes are fun for superclass discs or your putter. This would be a really good after work course it just needs some TLC in a real bad way. I found out about this course on accident so I added it to the site but I doubt many people know about this course. Maybe some "boots on the ground" would help with underbrush.
