TVs all over for any big games. You can play the 18 which consists of mostly 250-300 ft shots or the long 9 which is skipping a few baskets in example holes 1 and 2 combined is hole A throwing from teepad 1 to basket 2

Has potential. This course is designed upon a kick golf course. They make use of the obstacles that they have. Many of the holes are shorter. I like that there are food and drinks that you can get here. Seems like it would be a decent little hangout spot! The course itself isn’t really all that special in terms of layout, but it’s very clean and seems taken care of. I think it would be a missed opportunity to not sell discs here, maybe starter kits for families and such. I can see a “learn to disc golf” style element to be had here along with small tournaments. I don’t like that many of the fairways are close to one another and I could see, when it’s busy, having to mindful of others around. The layout makes the best use of space, but it is confusing to navigate. I hope to see more development in the future!

UDisc is a MUST, but a very fun course nonetheless.
