Situated on Yankee Springs' Red nine, this course has plenty of length for those looking to throw lots of long drives. As one would expect, the long grassy fairways originally meant for ball golf are relatively wide-open compared with most disc golf courses. As is the case with other similar courses, bolf greens and bunkers are OB. However, clever design details still provide a satisfying disc golf experience. Instead of running parallel with ball golf holes, disc golf lines tend to either run alongside or diagonally across the ball golf fairways. The best holes include Hole 7, which has a great downhill drive with out-of-bounds fenced areas on the left along the north side of the property; Hole 8, a long (700') but fair hole with unusual lines winding around tree hazards; Holes 11 and 17, more long holes with ideal tee positions and precarious but fair green OB areas, and the 316-foot Hole 12, which is between bolf holes with tall tree hazards. This is a par 4 ball golf course, so fairways often are huge, well-mowed and flat. Pin positions often have separate mowed greens out of the way from ball golf greens, making it easy for bolfers to pass. Though this course is quite long (about 7700 feet), the challenge is not so excessive that it will discourage intermediate-level players, provided they have some throw distance.

Being a ball golf course, this doesn't have the all-season convenience of a typical disc golf course. One is recommended to call ahead to arrange a tee time, and you may have to wait for ball golfers to tee off before getting on the course. The distance between tee pads means that a cart is mandatory, adding to cost ($15) but not detracting from the experience. The tee pads are grass and marked with wood blocks, though they do have large visible signs. The distances on the signs are less accurate than those on the scorecard, so check where the basket is before teeing off. Occasionally one can end up shooting at the wrong basket, especially on Hole 17. Watch out for flying golf balls; the ball golfers are fully aware of their right-of-way and aren't afraid to shoot on you.

Loosen up before a round, particularly if you haven't thrown a lot of long drives recently. The relatively wide-open spaces (for disc golf) mean that the winds can be brutal, especially for forehand drives. Those with high-power backhand drives and solid wind putts will fare best. One would expect that rollers would work well, but these are often confounded by subtle undulations in the fairways. However, there are a number of opportunities for well-executed overhand shots, especially on Hole 12. Beer is available in the pro shop (a nice perk), along with course maps and scorecards.

Aesthetic-- playing along side ball golfers may be daunting for some but they all seemed to be super friendly and welcoming, even chuckling at me pushing my kiddo in the stroller across the fairways!... BALL GOLFERS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!! please remember this.

Teesigns-- beautiful with big beautiful diagrams, distances, direction to the next tee and ball golf layout that you are laid out over.

Tee areas-- nice and level. A couple were a little worn but for the most part they were super flat and nicely marked with red square pegs.

Baskets-- Chainstars. Flags may be useful to add visibility on some of the longer holes but may confuse the ball golfers...

Routing and nav-- easy, maps available at the proshop. pick one up for the longer walks.

Challenge-- the challenge here is based mainly on the distances presented. It's to be expected on a ball golf course and it's welcomed.

Variety-- I spent the entire first half whining about how the course favored lefties and forehanders but by the second half it evened out nicely. I ended up throwing overstable to fight the wind and fade left...

upkeep-- impeccable . being on a ball golf course has it's perks... like a grounds crew.

Ability to rent a cart-- Although I wasn't able due to the fact I couldn't hook a carseat to the cart, it's nice to have the availability.

Fairly minor negatives here:
Benches/garbages-- It would be nice to have a bench or two throughout the course. I understand that most will take a cart and won't need a bench but for those adventurous folks who walk, a bench or two would be appreciated.

Topography-- Steve Hedstrom designed both here and Pine Hills in Laingsburg. Pine Hills makes excellent use of the topography of the golf course even utilizing fairways (especially those that have elevation change). Here, there is little elevation change to work with. Only one hole with significant elevation change to speak of. I wish, rather than constantly throwing OVER the fairway you were throwing DOWN the fairway feeling like you were playing GOLF. This may have been a management decision but I think it's a poor use of the natural beauty of the golf course.

I truly think this is the wave of the future having disc golf on ball golf courses and this continues the tradition nicely with plenty of room to expand.
