Whats your favorite short and technical courses?

I do not want 9 par 2s lol

Horning's Hideout Highland course.

Very short; water and trees make you shape shots, and steep drop offs behind baskets force distance control. A great course to practice your short game. Browsing through the pix, it should be mentioned that it has Houck Design tee signs and concrete tee pads on every hole.

Gaffney's Grove in Maple Valley WA. See reviews for photos and details.

I'd call most of the Canyon Course short and technical as well. Certainly the holes down in the Canyon. But Canyon/Highland as a one/two immediately came to mind.

So far, after all these courses I have played, I would say Brandy Lake Park in Woodruff WI still holds up as the best short course I have played. Very tight, technical, and beautiful wooded fairways and most holes are in the 140-220' range. Majority is under 200' though if memory serves me correctly.

Rockness Monster from the shorter tees -- Roxboro, NC
Valley Springs Park -- Durham, NC
Oxbow Falls -- Canastota, NY

9 holes only. Longest home is 340'. I have never shot anything close to par on this course. It is brutal and wonderful all at the same time.

Cedars of Lebanon State Park, Tennessee.
Steady Ed approved in 79' . it has a low review score on DGCR for small tee pads, original baskets (inner chains added) and the toll it takes on less than premium plastics. its tight but fair with severe punishment to errant throws . i call it the great equalizer because i have watched some of the greats come out with the same score as a hot intermediate round. there is a reason Logan Bowers calls this his home course.

The 2 courses at the Blockhouse outside Fredericksburg Virginia.

 

[dr.chainslove]

Kinslow Park north of Columbus OH. This course is 3700' and has a lot of really smart wooded holes in the 200' range. https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1879

Arrowhead (Louisville KY) is a delight https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=8540

Cane Ridge short (Nashville) is a work in progress but already a great play https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=9435

No love for Woodland Greens?

I love Woodlands, I just think it gets overshadowed in my mind because it is in rougher shape than the incredibly maintained Brandy. Also hole 13 and 17 stretch that course out a bit longer than Brandy IIRC so it wasn't first in my head.

 

[discdrive]

Oxbow Falls -- Canastota, NY

 

[ohtobediscing]

The Black Mouse in Santa Cruz. Often, and unfairly, overlooked due to Dela.

 

[eegor]

My favorite is http://dgcour.se/1475

Lester Lorch - Coyote. You would need a really good piece of land to replicate it.

 

[Rockwell]

Hogback in North Augusta, SC is used for collegiate nationals and has some of the most interesting shots in a small pine wood, with rock outcroppings and sandy ravines.

 

[Badger45]

Woodland Greens at Highbridge Hills and Rollin Ridge (orange to orange) would be the ones that I would pick for this. Hole 3 at Rollin Ridge, excluded from both short and technical.

 

[Chiefstang]

Bucksnort.

It's a top ten course here and is all short and amazing.

 

[b-mart]

I first thought of Lake Stevens, but the baskets are part of the appeal. You hate them. Everyone does. But they add a new element to some otherwise forgettable wooded holes.

Also gotta include some Kitsap Peninsula courses:

NAD Park (in short position at least), Bremerton, WA
Fredericksen DGC - Poulsbo, WA
Lincoln Park - Port Angeles, WA

Indian Hills, Columbia MO

12 really technical holes. Each basket can be reached - but you better hit your line!

Sandy Point Disc Golf Ranch/Resort, Lac du Flambeau, WI
https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=748
Beautiful 27 holes in the Northwoods. Lots of holes 250' and under but a few longer ones. Not all easy birdies.

Rollin Ridge, red to red, Reedsville, WI
https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=5189
2 holes where you can really get on a drive, otherwise a fantastic course through the woods.
