-->FRONT TEES Ideal for Rec-Intermediate players who can throw up to 300' and hit gaps with reasonable consistency. I would imagine even par from these tees would be like a 900 rated round in regular conditions. Will be quite challenging for brand new and novice players.
-->BACK TEES More suited for Advanced/Open players who can throw 400+ and can consistently hit gaps. Even par from these tees I have to imagine would be 960-980 rated.
- Gaps to hit off the tee of various sizes, some fairly open holes
- Great risk/reward in the course design. Most holes will present a fairly straightforward par if you play to the biggest gaps or throw conservatively. And if you go for the green and catch a tree at full speed, you'll have to scramble.
- Rough on every hole and woods near every green reward conservative shots and accuracy
- Great new concrete pads on the shorts
- Layout is intuitive and no walks between any holes that feel too long
- The flat ground and fairly regular mowing allow for rollers which can be a great option on the tightest holes
- All shot types required, high stalls, low ceiling, forehand, backhand, you'll definitely be scrambling a lot and this will test that part of your game
- Tournaments play well here with holes not too close to each other and a layout that's no so spread out that shotgun starts give you a super long walk

- The biggest thing holding the course back is dated baskets. They are a bit rusted and seem to be light on chains. If you putt with a lot of pace you're very likely to cut through or just square up the pole and spit back out. Some of them have a strangely large gap between the chains and the top of the cage.
- No bathrooms
- No water
- The practice basket is not in good shape
- Parking is closest to holes 6 and 7, no parking by 1 or 18 (at least according to the signs but I see cars there)
- When the course gets overgrown the rough gets quite thick and there is disc losing potential, even 10-20ft off the fairway
- Good tee signs but no signage outside the course making it tough to locate the holes without UDisc GPS

This course is incredible and a must play for anyone in the area. Simply put, one of the best designed courses I've played outside the pro tour ones.

I think with brand new baskets and better signage outside the course this could get close to a 4.5. I've played this course probably at least 50 times and I still enjoy coming back whenever I'm in town.

As someone without a huge arm but decent accuracy, I love playing woods over waters. And the fact that both of them are walking distance to each other elevates this course so much.

- McAllister Park is home to two epic, gold-level, 18-hole courses: Wabash Woods and Wabash Washout. The two courses are opposite sides of the same coin: while the differences between the two stand out at first, after a few play-throughs, the similarities in design begin to stand out. Wabash Woods, as the name suggests, is a heavily wooded affair. Wabash Washout, located on the site of an old municipal ball golf course, and is more open (though still with its fair share of deep rough and trees to avoid) and lengthier, with rolling elevation. Both courses force successful shot-shaping to landing zones, often a couple of times per hole, in order to score well. These courses are about managing the length, navigating the hazards, finding the landing zones, and executing a wide variety of shots.
- Elevation: Wabash Woods is flat, flat, flat. Not sure I've played 18 holes this flat. The only rises in land are the small berm of earth upon which hole #10's tee is located; and a slightly rolling fairway on # 17.
- Tees are currently natural (a couple might've had gravel IIRC), marked with two orange flags. Each hole has two tees, long and short, except for hole # 10, for which we only could located the one tee. No tee signage exists, but the navigation and flow are all pretty obvious, aided by "next tee" arrows on each basket. In fact, the flow between the holes, as well as the spacing, is well done. Also, the design makes sense, if that makes sense. At no point did I look at a hole and say, "Hmm, I wonder what happens here." Because of the excellently defined fairways, and a design aesthetic that follows a sort of solid internal logic throughout, the lack of signs was not a factor in our round here.
- Landing zones/ route choices/ risk v. reward: especially from the longs, Wabash Woods is all about hitting the fairways, staying out of the thick woods, hitting landing zones, managing which out of multiple routes to take, recovering from brutal schule, and taking risks through the narrow gaps of trees to attempt to bite off more fairway in order to score better. This is one of the best heavily wooded designs I've personally played: every hole is exceptionally designed... nothing feels gimmicky or weird, or "off." The designer(s) really hit this one out of the park. Each hole is eminently fair. There's always more than enough space to work with on a hole: provided you're hitting your lines and getting to the landing zones. The landing zones aren't all obvious, so there's some thinking man's golf to be had for more cerebral, more talented players as they are forced to choose the level of aggression vs. managing the narrow, tree-filled fairways. Hole #'s 6, 8, 12, and 17 are long, epic, multi-landing zone holes with well-defined fairways, awesome pin positions, and challenging fairways. From the longs, these are all gold-level, big boy, serious business, disc golf. The shorts make this course much more manageable, but still will wallop most casual players. The shorter holes (from both long and short tees) help break up some of the (awesome) insanity of the much longer holes, without being throwaway or cheap.
- Absolutely gorgeous wildlife factor at play here. There is an INDOT-designated migratory bird pathway on site, so entire flocks of birds can be heard (loudly) roosting in nearby trees. We also saw (over two rounds): a coyote crossing hole # 14's fairway with prey in its mouth, a hawk swooping down on a putter, a living marmot, a dying marmot (hanging out on hole # 7's fairway), a living snake, and a dead, headless snake. I, personally, read all the Animal Omens on this course as generally favorable, ha.
- Right next to the parking lot is the old golf course's driving range, which now serves as a disc golf driving range. Neat.

- Finding the course is the worst part, by far. After pulling into the parking lot, head right down the walking path (maybe 800- 1000' or so) that runs parallel to the wood line and look for the practice basket at the "corner" of the woods. The course starts in a small opening in the woods just short of the practice basket.
- No amenities: no tees, signs, benches, trashcans, etc. More an FYI than a con; because of the very high quality of the course design and its intuitive flow, these are all very very easy to overlook and ignore. The lack of these did not affect my rating, as I am assuming better tees are in the works for this still very new course.

- Epic toughness from the longs. Highly satisfying from the shorts. Overall, extremely fun, fair, and challenging. Kudos.
- Wabash Woods' on-site sister course, along with the great design and challenge, makes McAllister Park a MUST HIT for those traveling through the area (along with Camp Cullom a little farther southeast in Franklin). These aren't "best of the best"...but they fall not short, and taken together they can offer a full day of epic, big boy discin' on complimentary-styled monsters.
- This course received a moderate bump in rating due to the complimentary nature of Wabash Woods' sister course, Wabash Washout, which greatly increases the overall vibe.
