    Review by jonmcd in course Jackson Rec. Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) Trickier than it looks A lot of thought obviously went into this course. Great use of the available land. The aqueducts are unique. When I pulled in I was afraid of hole after hole of open birdie shots, but the pin placements make it tough. The shorter holes are well protected and close to the...

    Review by jonmcd in course Edmunds Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) Nice little park, fun little course I was in the area so I stopped by this course for a round. The park is nice and well maintained. Nice pond in the open and cool wooded fairways with fun lines. It was nice to have a little distance added to a municipal park like this, rather than just a...

    4.50 star(s) Picturesque Lancaster County Wow! Lancaster County needed a course like this. big distance while still technical. Lots of nice features (like stairs, platforms, trails, etc). Incredible setting. You have to "golf" here to get a good score. Hole 11 is unique. Good use of elevation. The Pequea...

    Review by jonmcd in course Overlook Community Park

    2.00 star(s) The only one like it It's unique, I'll give it that. Like the other reviewers said, lots of long open shots. Though it is fun to launch a few and build up that distance. The back 9 is pretty interesting, with tight fairways, mandos, and ob. Lots of ob on this course. If you don't play with the...

    Review by jonmcd in course D. F. Buchmiller Park

    4.00 star(s) A walk in the park with discs This is my home course. I learned to play here. It is a great place to learn. Experienced ams will enjoy building their confidence with birdie runs. Most pros will be able to get to the majority of the baskets off the tee and get to go for those big, double-digit...

    Review by jonmcd in course Roland Park

    4.00 star(s) If you haven't been here lately... If you haven't been here in the last year, make sure to get out and see the changes in 2012. Tee signs should be up in the spring. The strength of this course is it's variety. The course has been through many layouts and revisions over the years. There are...

    970 rated plus advice?

    Great tips above. One thing to add. In a tournament, I try my best to remain emotionally steady. Sure, it's nice to celebrate (loudly) a great shot, but what goes up must come down and when you get a bad one, you'll surely be down in the dumps about it. Keep a short memory (quickly forget your...

    Planning summer road trips need info...

    Buchmiller (Lancaster) is looking great! It is my home course. Right now, renovations are done until next winter. This really is a beautifully manicured park. There are a handful of new pin positions, and the baskets will be moved to different layouts periodically. If you happen to be in town on...

    the buchmiller renovations (lancaster pa)

    Original post: Which two were you wondering about? There is one post behind 9long, that will be 9-super long or 11 long. It is set up to be played both ways. 11 also has a long down to the right by the road. 13 has a really nice new position. 16 got a new spot behind and to the right of the old...
