Echo Valley DGC

"Beautiful course."

"Great course a few bad holes though "

"Best course in Ohio"

"Pars are a little high for beginners, but great course! "

"This course is stunning. Beautiful fairways on every hole with creative and demanding shot selection. OB is fair and easy to recognize with painted lines. Hole 6 is one of the most scenic shots I’ve ever seen, and the rest of the course doesn’t let down."

"Sweet course! OB was well marked, good pads, good baskets just overall a great course. Could use brooms maybe to sweep off the pads but 5 stars for sure "

"Excellent course. We’ll maintained fund woods work"

"Very pretty park and course with some picturesque holes. Tees are good. Signage is good, though maybe a little misleading at times. The interesting thing thing with this course is the design. There are moments of brilliance in the design and moments of "it's not clear what that hole wanted me to do"."

"Very nice course! Well maintained. "

"Great course!! Super fun!! (Just needs a bench or two, and trash cans)"

"Beautiful course. Really neat design with a good variety of holes and shots. Easy to follow. Kept up well. Pretty much perfect. A must play. I can understand why it’s ranked best in Ohio. "

"Off the fairway is overgrown, easy to lose discs "

"Awesome course, great scenery, challenging for a beginner "

"Beautiful course, very well maintained. Definitely my favorite in southwest Ohio! I love the elevation and scenery. The only thing I would like to see are some elevated targets and a few benches."

"Great course. Tape on the basket tells you which way the next tee is which is amazing "

"First time playing this course despite only being 20 mins from me! Lived up to the hype!"

"Very nice course. A little muddy today but what do you expect in the woods."

"Good course! Signage, next tee markers, and paths were all well maintained. Only a few holes Wow’d me, but there weren’t really any bad holes either!"

"Beautiful. Honestly I love idlewild but this is better"

"What an amazing course. So beautiful and well maintained. Front 9 plays way easier the back 9. I hope to play it many times more. "

"Michigan player who found this while traveling. Beautiful course. Little confusing to navigate at times without the map. Couple drainage issues, but won’t hold that against it at the end of March. Definitely worth checking out. "

"Michigan guys here. This place was amazing. Really enjoyed the variety of the par 4s. The down hill shot was interesting as well! Definitely worth the stop on the way to Idlewild! "

"This course is *almost* perfect. Shot pathing is very organic. Gorgeous mature trees make this a very fun course to play through. Super creative shots throughout that challenge the most elite of distance. This is without a doubt the best course I’ve played in Ohio, and for sure a top 5 I’ve ever played. If I had 1 criticism, it’s the repetitive par 4 nature to a few of the holes. If some of these were 400’ par 3’s (from gold) where the par 4’s original landing zone was the basket it’d be sweet! "

"A little drainage "

"Best course around. Not for beginners. Well kept and managed. Have some sort of map, it gets hard to find the next hole sometimes. Great variety of hole layouts and distances. "

"Slightly muddy "

"Top notch course worthy of a silver series / pro tour stop. Hands down the best built course I've ever played Minimal deadfall or wood piles. Manicured grass on every hole. Hardscapes and natural features worked into the course that add an extra level. Would be nice to see some benches installed and I didn't really like hole 14. Didn't seem to fit with the theme of the course. All and all I really enjoyed the course and can't wait to come back in the summer to see it in full greenery. "

"Excellent layout,baskets,and teepads kept up very well "

"Love the added female tees Couldn’t locate them on a couple of holes. "

"Played in heavy snow but didn’t get to finish unfortunately. Tough course. Will definitely be going back. "

"So good. Be here. Wooded. Fair lines. Peaceful walking with God in the woods. "

"Nicely upkept but gets repetitive and lucky in the back nine "

"Fun course, lots of woods which I like, even playing blue it seemed really long though. Not beginner friendly. "

"Excellent. One of the best in Ohio."

"Only complaint is water standing on a few of the tee pads. Beautiful course, great mix of woods and open. I will play it again. "

"No easy pars on this course, played the blue tees, very technical on some holes. Clean well defined fairways. No thick underbrush to lose stray discs in. "

"It's a difficult course for your average player. Unless you have a big arm and good control over your discs, you'll probably struggle. Very long, heavily wooded holes. Many of them are blind from the tee. A handful also run up alongside fenced off private property. Beautiful course though. "

"Beautiful course with some distance but pretty technical. Played blues and its a fun, well-designed course."

"Spectacular course. Good topographic variation. Challenging but not overly so. "

"Outstanding course! Incredibly well kept!! Pretty demanding though. Makes you earn par. Tons of variety and most holes have multiple shot options. Lots of elevation change and a mix of mostly open, wooded, and placement shot holes. The Gold tees are really long!"

"Very challenging course. Very well kept. "

"Best in Ohio"

"Very technical! Bring your A game!! But overall a fantastic course!"

"Amazing layout with a lot of different shots. In great shape. Longs are significantly tougher than shorts. "

"Really, really difficult. Great course if you’re an advanced player. Definitely not for beginners."

"Great course "

"Not a beginner course, mostly wooded shots, beware of hole 18s center bog"

"Amazing course! Had to work for every par. Well maintained and easy to navigate. Have to make sure you have your line on every hole. Can't wait to play a second round after lunch. Make this a bucket list course. "

"Beautiful course! Loved all the trees, make sure to stop by if you’re in the area."

"Excellent course, a must play "

"This is a very nice, well kept and well designed course. Many holes are VERY challenging... The blue (shorter) tees include multiple that are 500+ feet on fairways that have numerous trees as obstacles."

"Great course! Very well upkept"

"Fantastic course"

"Literally ran into the dude taking care of the course during his week off. Nothing but love out here at the valley 10/10"

"Wow! Just wow! Shots for all. Great for recreational or intermediate players. "

"Awesome course! "

"Very fun course. Lots of variety throughout the round. Will play again "

"Great park with wooded disc golf. This is an intermediate to advance course."

"Excellent signage. Easy to navigate. Plenty of different shots"

"I’m an amateur and my father is a beginner. We both had an amazing time and the upkeep was spectacular."

"Fun course, a lot of fun shots! "

"Wooded but open fairways and elevation change. Hidden gem to say the least. "

"Very well manicured, good signage, lots of shot shapes. "

"Tight wooded lines with grass fairways. Even the few open shots require precise placement. Fun and challenging course. This is a can’t miss course if you’re in the area, disc golf bucket list place. My vote for best course in Ohio. "

"Beautiful course with well designed holes that test every aspect of your game. Good signage, kept up well, and easy to navigate. Worth the trip to play here."

"Great course! Mostly woods with well shaped lines"

"Beautiful park! One of my favorites in Ohio "

"This course is in great shape. Perfect fairways, great all around. My only imperfection is that the tee pads seems a little short but pads are always appreciated. My favorite course ever so far. "

"Hard"

"Well maintained course with challenging holes that aren’t too punishing if you get off the fairway. Would recommend for intermediate to advanced players."

"Needs benches and trash can great course tho"

"Needs benches "

"Very tough but fun course. Feels very fair in its difficulty. Requires great placement shots and distance to score well!"

"Absolutely beautiful 18 holes. This is a great course to test all of your mechanics. Truly challenging but capable. "

"A little muddy, definitely playable. Tough course for intermediate players even on blue tees."

"Second best in the state!...wish there were a bit more variety in the design though... half the holes feel a bit repetitive... lots of trees in the fairways...also wished there could be at least one par 5"

"A challenging course that isn't completely soul crushing for a solid novice player. Well designed. Well maintained."

"AMAZING COURSE!!! "

"Awesome, challenging, and scenic. "

"Best in Dayton"

"Top course in Ohio. Very well kept, lots of fun shots through wooded/open property. Quiet and serene. The ideal disc golf course."

"Beautiful course"

"Couple of awkward trees, small tee pads. However, really good use of property layout that provides a decent variety of shot shapes and challenges. Maybe a tad overrated, but a really fun course nonetheless."

"True Destination DISCGOLF course. Challenging and beautiful. So many different lines to choose as you navigate long holes up and down rolling elevation changes. Kicked our Am Masters butts! "

"Best course I’ve ever played"

"Very well maintained. Excellent signage. Very long course for 18 holes. No trash cans but not one can laying on the course. Would definitely recommend "

"This is a beautiful and very challenging course. I can imagine the surrounding park and trails getting very busy in nice weather though, so watch for people. I’m here on a cold February morning, and ran into 7 or 8 people walking dogs on the paths."

"Great design and fun course! "

"Fantastic course with beautiful fairways and great hole design "

"Best course in southern Ohio. All shot shapes required. Maintained and manicured perfectly. The landscape staff is doing a great job. "

"I'm from Northeast Indiana, and this course was absolutely amazing to play. It combines so many different fairway types and adds difficulty whether off the tee or on the approach. Honestly no critiques from me, 5 stars."

"Very long coarse"

"Great course design. There is a need for bridges and steps for safety, but it looks like some of that is currently being done. Some teepads hold water. The design is great and navigating the course is easy if you pay attention. Best course I’ve played in the Dayton area."

"Really fun course. Blue pads are scoreable and the gold pads are for 950+ rated. Open holes with a good mix of tight fairways shots. "

"Really awesome course that is well maintained. Tough and long course, but always in a playable area."

"Beautiful course. Awesome blend of distance and technical. Very fun to play and very well kept. "

"Perfect. Just a dream course. Mowed, leaves cleared, challenging layouts but not going to lose a million discs. Really well done. Props to Carl and the team for creating one of my favorite places."

"Mostly park style w/ hints of deep wooded and open spots here and there. This is what advanced courses should strive to be like. Has a fairness to it based on the need to hit lines. "

"Really outstanding course. Challenging but mostly fair. Scenic holes and a decent workout due to all the hills. Great design on all but one of the holes. #14 having a section of private property prominently featured and sticking out into the middle of the fairway is pretty frustrating. Signage saying not to trespass means it could be tough to get a disc back even if it's clearly in sight. Feels like this could/should have been avoided. Otherwise I absolutely love this course. "

"Great and challenging course. Loved it. "

"Best I ever had "

"Hard course with lots of walking and trees. If you like a challenge then you will love this course. "

"Amazing course, 16 and 17 should be par 4 from golds"

"Really excellent course overall. Favorite in the Dayton area. Signage and tee pads are supreme. Can’t wait to play again. "

"Great variety of shots. Fantastic course. Watch for poison ivy on the edges."

"Course needs a little update in UDisc…some tee signs show the blue tees as white, but UDisc still shows them as blue. "

"Watch for ditches. Learned the hard way "

"Great long challenging course, lots of open space, so be careful on hot humid days"

"Great course! Well maintained and creative design! Would have liked to see a more variety of shots! Definitely a course worth traveling for!"

"Wooded"

"All around fantastic course"

"This course keeps getting better. Added bridges are nice. Course design is great! Only complaint I have is there are crowds of people playing this course. With this many people playing the erosion and mud is noticeable around some of the baskets and trails. "

"Good signage, well maintained. A bit long and repetitive at parts, but plenty of great shots to be had"

"Nothing is given at this course, each throw is earned"

"Great Course, fun open and wooded shots, technical and challenging, one of my favorites"

"Course is beautiful and plays well even after a hard rain."

"Played the Blue Tees, thought it was a great and challenging course, but all the shots felt fair. Mostly wooded holes but have some kind of fairway."

"Baskets are marked with a color band indicating direction to the next tee, blue and gold. "

"One of Ohio's best & most beautiful. I describe it as Diet Idlewild. Not beginner-friendly, but very attackable for most ams off the blues. Absolute must play for anyone visiting. Main issue I foresee is Hole 14, a hard dogleg with a private property wire fence forming fairway. Would love to see this hole replaced rather than losing this gem of a course with people jumping the fence and causing damage. Also disappointing to see many basket chains held together with bailing wire and duct tape."

"Great course. I’m happy with the tee boxes. No trash cans, be respectful and pack out your trash. Very long and challenging, but perhaps the best course I’ve played. Love the way they give directions to the next tee box using tape on the basket wires. "

"This course is awesome. Nice view and well kept. Challenging so if your worried about losing a disc, don’t go. A great test of power control and execution of shots. Would definitely play again"

"Want to become a better disc golfer?.. this course will show you how"

"The layout is fun and very challenging. Absolutely beautiful park and fairways. I can’t think of a better course. "

"Needs signage"

"Incredible course. Gold layout is very tough but fun."

"Finally got a chance to check this course out and it didn’t disappoint. My scorecard, on the other hand…"

"This course is a dream!!! It kicked my butt, but I still had a blast. Well manicured with amazing lines. Can’t wait to play here more! P.S. lost my big Jerm Thundy on 5. Holla if you find it!"

"Awesome course. Very scenic. Please do not add trash cans and extra signs. Pack your trash in and pack it out. Throw it away in the trashcan in the parking lot. Keep the course as close to natural as possible."

"Very long and difficult course, but very nice and well kept"

"I’m from Maryland. By far this is one of the better courses I’ve played on. Maryland you need to step up your game."

"Scenic, fun, challenging. Great new course. "

"Love the course. 5 stars when they get trash cans and a few more benches. My favorite course in Ohio. "

"Beautiful property. Demands control of your power shots and uses elevation very well throughout. "

"Challenging course for all experiences. "

"Nice course plays well, local mob golf isn't cool.. sign states groups no larger than 5, I saw alot more in groups than that, like 9 or 10 .. I rarely say this but this course could use some benches near the pads."

"So good, so so good"

"Amazing. Perfectly manicured. Some bomb holes as well as technical medium rangers - Great mix! Jealous of those who live in the area! "

"Just gorgeous. Maybe the best course in the region."

"Beautiful wooded course. Definitely one of the best in Dayton. Only critique is lack of trash cans. Super minor and overall top quality course. "

"Everything you could want in a course"

"Beautiful and challenging. "

"Lots of distance and trees. Fun course!"

"Amazing course and well kept!"

"Among Ohio’s best. Cared for and manicured like a pay to play course, challenging shorts and treacherous longs, A+ woods golf sprinkled with some opportunities to launch your distance drivers, you’ll throw a bunch of different discs in your bag and shoot a lot of different shots. Worth the drive as much as Idlewild is."

"Beautiful course. Challenging but fair and incredibly fun. A terrific course, great addition to the Dayton disc golf scene!"

"Beautiful new course! "

"Big long holes and nice fairways through tight but fair woods. Absolute bomber. "

"Awesome course. Mostly wooded. A lot like a much better version of Osage Grove which is already pretty good. Tough but fair."

"Amazing course. Challenging without being too frustrating. Gotta bring your distance"

"Grand opening play through and it was so sick best dgc in Dayton right now"

"Best around"

"A well laid out wooded course. 2 sets of teepads. Nice challenging holes. Teepads a bit short. Rough can get nasty if you go in a few feet. "

"Great course but the tee pads are unfortunately too short."

"GREAT JOB CARL"

"Beautiful course. Long holes with picturesque fairways. Enough trees to make most shots technical. One of the best in Ohio."

"Such a fun course to play. Looking forward to coming back when it is in the ground full time!"

"Long woods golf with very challenging lines. Elevation changes on some holes spice it up and the grassy fairways in the forest is unreal!"

"Every shot you can think of. Wooded but not to tight . Can’t wait to see it finished and permanent."

"Incredible woods course, up there with Idlewild"

"Best course in the Dayton area, and one of the best in all of Ohio. Beautiful property hosts long, fair fairways with good shot-shaping opportunities. The rough is rough. Placement is key. "
