Boonsboro Disc Golf Course

Has a chance to be a nice little course. Nice variety of uphill/downhill and long/short. Most are relatively straight shots. You have to look out for Park users on some shots. Unfortunately, the fairways were nonexistent in early August but tee and basket areas were mowed. Tree lines are harsh, try to avoid them. No wayfinding outside of UDisc. Grass tees are okay but some kind of signage would be appreciated.

I will give this a better score once everything has been completed. There are currently no tee pads down. The fairways are over grown. There are no signs to guide you as to where to go. You need to be careful as several of the fairways force you to throw near and even over walking paths for other pedestrians in the park. Hole 16 is completely unplayable. I landed my shot within 15ft of the basket and spent nearly 20 mins looking for my disc. That shot also forces you to throw blind over a walking path. The potential for something special is here and I want to come back once it’s done. I really hope that the grass will not be used as natural OB. That’s just a miserable playing experience. Invest in white stakes and string of OB is the eventual direction of this course.

Recognizing that the course is "under construction " the following observations are relevant. Fairways cut wider than 6 feet would enhance the playability. Players spend half their time on the course locating their disc's in the tall grass. Trimming a circumference of at least 15 feet around each basket would enhance playability. Tee 16 was unlocatable today, as was the fairway between the non-existent tee and the basket. This course has the potential to be a very good field course. But in its current condition it is practically unplayable.

Course is not complete yet so can’t really rate. Now that the course has been mowed recently it is playable and a blast. Once the turf tee pads are put in,I believe this will be even more fun. 16 is unplayable in my opinion. Come out and let them fly!

Brand new course, so still clearly working on adding features and cleaning up the course. But the bones of the course are great, showing it will be a great course in the near future!

Brutal, gave up after eight holes. When you end up 5-10’ off of the 3’ wide “fairway”, you spend 20 minutes searching in waist high grass. Such a shame, this course has so much potential to be a really good course!!

So grateful to have this course in the area! With summer coming, all the wooded courses are overgrown so it’s great to have a more open option within a short drive from PA. Overall, the course is well designed. There are a variety of shot shapes required and the designers make pretty good use of the land and natural obstacles. I love how some of the baskets are tucked in under trees or close to streams to force good shot placement. There also aren’t any gimmicky, lucky, or unsafe shots required. The course is still in its infancy, so I won’t detract from the score based on maintenance. Even in its current state it plays better than my home course. Clear C1 and mow the fairways (wider than thirty feet please), and it will be great. I do have to question a few of the design decisions. There are a few holes that make one wonder about their long term playability. In five or six years, hole 11 will likely be unplayable as the trees grow. Again, I’m thrilled to see this course coming to fruition. If it’s well-maintained, I will be back regularly.

Played before tee pads were put in. Has very tall grass and it is easy to lose discs

Course is nice and open, not many obstacles at all. On issue is the grass is up your knees, it took us a while to play the round cause we were constantly looking for discs, there is about a 2-3 ft wide mowed walk way from most tees to the baskets, but if you don’t land in that spot be ready to look hard for your discs.
