Wesley Crusher of Disc Golf Courses 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Private course with 9 short fun beginner holes playing over some decent elevation changes and varying tightness of woods/obstacles.

Mach II baskets, and large tee signs.

Other on-site amenities include the pool, volleyball court, tennis courts, walking path, and restrooms.

Cons:

Potential safety issues on every hole. The course has got to be basically unplayable in the summer with any people there.

Hole 1 plays over the volleyball court. Hole 2 has a rather high likely-hood of discs going into the tennis courts or griplocked into the pool. Hole 3 plays over the walking path, over hole 8 and really close to Tee 4. Holes 3, 4, and 5 either cross each other or play really close to each other and the walking path. Hole 6 plays right behind people's backyard fences. Hole 7 plays right next to the tennis courts but this is the safest designed hole. Hole 8 crosses back over hole 3 and down the walking path. Hole 9 has a high probability of discs going into the pool or over the neighbors fence.

The tee signs for hole 1 and 4 had been blown off their tree. The natural tees were not great or marked except for the sign.

Other Thoughts:

I don't like that I have to mention all this negative stuff about a course when I actually had an enjoyable time having the whole course to myself winding down after work. While it's nice to see a new course installed, especially one that's most likely for the purposes of camp and club kids and beginners, this is one I'm not sure should have been because of all the potential safety issues. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

For the purposes of DGCR this course should only be of any interest to the most extremist course baggers and only attempted to be played in the off season. The gate to the parking lot was open when I played, but nobody was there to pay or any sign to leave payment somewhere, so I assume in the off season the course is free. It also appears that someone has modified the course page so it no longer mentions the course is only open to club members and guests.
