No upkeep. Holes 4 and 5 are kind of unplayable with all tall grass. Didn’t play past hole 4.

Lot of hills if you don’t throw it on the fairway

Really wide open on 2 though 5, really tight the rest of the way through the woods. Fields are sometimes unavailable due to kids. Somewhat unmaintained. Not really great for anything except a quick 9 if you’re in the area.

Bucket 5 is missing

Course ends very far from car park. Hole 5 is missing its basket. It’s very easy to get lost after hole 6; that basket looks like it was hit by a truck. Highway noise very loud after hole 6, too. They say “only come during the school’s off-hours,” but then they don’t include when those hours are. There’s zero signage when arriving via car that indicates where the course is located.

Basket is missing on 5. Long steep trails between some holes. Challenge for a beginner like me due to steep areas if you miss the fairway on several holes.

Needs better upkeep, and it's missing a basket on one of the holes

Still no basket at hole 5

There are some steep dropoffs to the sides of some of the fairways

@davescio

No maintenance, bad signage, terrible design of the land, and you get to walk almost half a mile back from whole nine to hole one. None of the measurements are accurate. You will spend more time walking, then playing disc golf. The good news, it's quiet. Hole eight and nine are the only ones that I would consider well done. One through five are in a field, with nothing.

@nathanoxenfeld

Really fun 9 hole, good mix of open and wooded. Got a little lost between 6 and 7 but eventually found my way!

@cameronsavage1

Great local, free course. Not sure why people have to complain about everything. It’s not pristine but for a free community course it’s got awesome variety and some fun holes. The woods around the school are beautiful, adding to the experience.

Simple and straight course with lots of opportunities to loose your discs in the surrounding greenery. I usually spend more time looking for discs than playing.

@amaliksen

Awesome use of the school grounds! Well labeled, well kept, nice course!

@dannyt55

Love the half field, half woods course layout. Hole 2 - out of bounds presents a challenge with all of the downed trees to the left of the hole if your disc flies off course.

Only 8 baskets makes it worse--it is beautiful

@braddlesnake

Great New Spot! Definitely restricted hours due to school activities.

A full walk through and play through are available at Nikkas_tail of FB and YouTube

Nice to have some open field holes to let the driver rip. If the woods around holes 7-9 could be utilized to make this a full 18 holes it would become a pretty dynamic course that’s worth the trip.
