Pros:
Winston Preserve is a large, pretty park. The disc golf course mostly plays through an area made up of scrub trees, bushes and sandy loam soil. The course starts just left of the parking lot. There are garbage cans, picnic tables and a big sign talking about remodeling the course to help with the erosion issues. And stating that the course would be closed for this remodeling.
The course has concrete tees, solid wooden signs and Discatchers with the yellow bands and #s. The first five holes all play in 250' range. Some baskets are hidden, some are visible here. # 7 is only 167' but gets very tight up near the basket. Then # 9 is a short (113') Ace Run as is # 12 being open and just 158'.
I think # 14 is the course's signature hole if only for the very cool basket placement. It's a 134' toss but the basket is set on this small peninsula between two wet areas. This would be a place that I would be doing some erosion work by building a small retaining wall behind the basket. After playing # 14, you come to kind of a crossroads with multiple paths. There is a little gazebo structure there and some disc golfing person has discretely written a couple of next tee numbers in Sharpie. Not bold enough to look like grafitti, just right if you happen to notice them. Thank you Mr. Sharpie!
I also thought # 18 was kind of special. It plays 297' needing a little anhyser action to play through a very pretty, natural looking fairway.
Cons:
A few chains are rusting and a couple need to be attached better.
Be careful on # 15. Don't play to the longer basket you see, that's # 16.
Pitch and putt challenge or maybe recreational level on some holes.
No airing it out here.
Other Thoughts:
I felt Winstrom Preserve was a fun little course. It's just a comfortable little round. You're not climbing up and down steep gorges nor are you trudging across vast acreages. You shouldn't be spending too much time looking for the next tee or baskets and you probably won't be spending a lot of time looking for your disc. Enjoy it. I did.
