Fun but not overly stimulating 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 26, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Since I was in town visiting inlaws I was looking for some quality golf to take my mind off visiting the inlaws! Wendell Moore at least took my mind off the family visit, but I was left lacking after the front 9.

When I walked up I immediately went to the kiosk and thought I was looking at hole #1 and I was like, "Wow, GREAT opening hole." Sadly, that was #3. Number 1 is just a generic ho-hum wide-open field shot. But it does have a nice scenic view of the local prison, so there's that.

My enthusiasm went up dramatically when I stepped up to hole #2...Now this was golf (I'll get into a hole break down later). From #2 through #10 the course was a ton of fun. Nicely laid out shots that took power and precision. But after #10 it became just another 'grip-and-rip' 300' to 650' slightly uphill, slightly down hill shot navingating the only tree in the way. Sigh. But what can you do on a gentle hillside with scant trees? Thankfully #17 and #18 (especially 18) were fun holes

Here's my view of the holes...

#1 - Already mentioned, but just a pedestrian shot.
#2 - From the long, a really quality 300' drive through the trees to a fast, sloping green.
#3 - is superb, signature hole. Over a ravine, up a hill to a basket guarded by large two large trees
#4 - is a nice, short hole on another down sloping green
#5 - a power shot around an island of trees, hyzering back toward a blind basket
#6 - Straight foward, power laserbeam shot through a gap in the trees
#7 - Is your first bomber hole, over 500'. First time to really uncork you longest flyer
#8 - Short Anhyzer/hyzer shot around a small knot of trees
#9 - Long, turn over shot that takes you into the open field holes
#10 - slight down hill 370' footer with -0- trees
#11 - Now back up hill 370 with 1 tree to avoid
#12 - And now downhill...-0- trees...see a trend?
Wash...rinse...repeat. Sigh.

Other notable holes...#15 from the long is a fun empty the bag out kind hole

#16 is a 650 uphill snoozer
#17 reverse of 16
#18 is a great finisher...300' on a fairway that slopes to the left. Hyzer shots can go a very long way if they fly the basket!

Cons:

Once you reach the middle of the course and turn a slow 360 degrees, you'll see baskets and tee pads everywhere. If you don't know where you're throwing, it's easy to target the wrong, well, target! And if the course is busy, you better have eyes in the back of your head or at minimum a spotter to keep you from being brained by an errant shot.

And the walking track that meanders through the course is down right dangerous for walkers and those who don't have a clue about disc golf. I'm sure folks get hit constantly out here.

The mid part of the course is just boring. Anyone with decent skill and above average power can shred this place

Other Thoughts:

The baskets on this course - for me - catch as if they attract plastic like magnets attract Iron. The Prodigy baskets are superb, I love putting on them.

Also digged the long grippy tee pads, never worried about slipping.

As for aesthetics, the place is gorgeous, the park area absolutely beautiful

Navigation isn't bad if you look for the black tag on the pokes of the basket pointing you toward the next hole.
