You're right, I'm probably being just as pessimistic about his review as he is with the course. That being said, it's impossible not to notice the red flags. His stats don't match up with the experience he claims to have, his cons can be easily picked apart, and the review is not as well rounded as I'd expect from a player with that much experience at a specific course. Is that not the essence of a bad/homer review?
Perhaps Mr. B, perhaps. I'm too shocked by wellsbranch cussing to think clearly though 
I rate wellsbranch cussing at 4.387 (excellent).
—SHOCK FACTOR: No one saw that coming.
—COMEDIC GOLD: The most humble of commentators dropping the b word out of nowhere is hysterical.
—FILTER AVOIDANCE: I added 0.263 points for the creative replacement of the i with the exclamation point in the b word.
—QUICK PLAY ON WORDS: I read wellsbranch's post in about 10 seconds; so figure about 30 seconds for a group of four.

Don't take this the wrong way wellsbranch - I love your reviews...buuuuuuttt
MikeK, you win the thread. BRILLIANT!!!!
Go ahead and do it - you'll feel better!
Trust me - I should know.
Wow that's an impressive voting record! 1:10 (helpful : unhelpful), if I can be trusted to analyze such large numbers. New goal in life: earn a "helpful" vote from swatso.

4.5 review. No tee pads, only grass. No baskets, only masonry line tied around trees. Also, course is only temporary, but hoping to become permanent.
That is a busy park, and I'm not sure it's safe to put an 18 hole DG course in it. Definitely not 4.5 worthy.

Came here to point out this review haha. It appears that he designed it as well.

That is the future of DG.
No baskets, no pads, and PPV coverage only.
This is how we will grow the sport.
Without baskets or designated tee pads, you can drop a course of anywhere.
The possibilities are ample, instead of discs we can use: baseballs, eggs, tomatoes, your brothers left shoe......you get it.

kyflash, I love your creative verve and open mindedness! We can create new rules and new games. Why not! Frankly though, a few of your suggestions don't seem too realistic... Baseballs probably have too much roll-away factor and could be dangerous to unwitting noggins as they are quite dense... Eggs? Come one, that's silly, even if they're hard boiled... Maybe tomatoes have some merit? Sack-o-tomatoes golf? In a match each participant totes their own sack and numbers of each are verified... If you run out of usable tomatoes you're out of luck! I can see the strategy developing now; sacrifice the long bombs, lay-up into soft grass, soft-rollers like lawn bowling? But I think your best idea is Your-Brother's-Left-Shoe golf! Shoes would hold up pretty well for a while and different throws could be developed over time depending on model; custom shoe-string assemblies to swing-and-fling, leverage off the heal, toe-fling? Possibilities are endless! Could be good for putting? Only real problem I see is that this sport would be discriminatory to those that don't have a brother or those who have trouble accessing (stealing) one of their left shoes... Right-shoes strictly forbidden...

I get it, lol.
I don't have an issue with object courses, when I started playing, courses with baskets in my area were few and far between. We made object courses in a variety of places that had the available space, and it was a ton of fun. We were new to the game and didn't care. Now I've become spoiled and prefer baskets. Bottom line though, I would never give one of our object courses a 4.5 disc review.
I can see the tournament conversations now:
"Duuuuude, do we throw to the maple or the oak?"
"I donno brah I thought on hole 4 we were teeing off from behind the boulder not the stump."
"Nah man that putt doesn't count cause you hit the telephone pole 12' up not 4' up."
Good times.

I am so thankful for this thread...
... and the remaining few others that haven't devolved into garbage!

3/5
Pros: Variety of throws. Some trees, some open. Some up throws and some down. Good flow and signage. All mowed and big trees. Huge property
Cons: Not quite done yet. 12 holes only. Seems big enough to have full 18

I see you've played it. What's it's actual rating?
EDIT: it's in MN, so of course you played it.

You mean courses are too gimmicky now and making baskets smaller would probably eliminate racism? If you could point me somewhere that talks about these issues you'd really be doing me a solid.

You forgot no OB and wide open fairways with no trees anywhere
