I have played 330+ different disc golf courses, and this one takes the cake for oddest one yet! And for that, it deserves an extensive review of what I thought… Let’s start with getting to hole 1. Yes, GETTING to hole 1. I parked in a pay lot (that I did not pay for) by some fairly tall dorms. I used UDisc to navigate to hole 1s tee area, assuming there wouldn’t be any signage based on the course rating. To my surprise, there was a sign that laid out the entire course! It seemed a bit spread out, but I knew that it would be because I looked ahead of time at the layout. Hole 1 was a fun hyzer shot around a tree. However, the oddities truly started here, as the cage was completely on the ground. Hole 2 had an actual teepad and was probably the best hole on the course. Hole 3s cage was also on the ground, but it had a teepad, so that was okay I guess. Hole 4 was a short blooper going the opposite direction of 2. Not bad so far. I then decided to hop in my car and park in a lot near hole 5s basket to avoid the long walk back to my car at the end. Hole 5 was another short blooper, but I had to wait a minute or two for a gap in the pedestrian students. 6 may have been the worst hole on the course, as there is a 4 way sidewalk intersection about 20 feet away from the basket. It’s also by itself, so that was odd. 7-9 were a brisk 2-3 minute walk from hole 6. I was a bit confused on 7, as there was a sign covered by the leaves that I thought was 7s teepad. Nope! It was a sign 5 feet away from 7s teepad and sign pointing you to 7s teepad, just in case you get lost or something, even though you just walked 500 feet to this hole. 7 was even more interesting because the tee didn’t even point to the basket, it was more left tucked back in some random trees near a dirt path. 8 was fine, no teepad though, just a short throw up near a pine. 9 was the only hole with any length. Oh and it’s also right next to the outdoor track, so make sure you dont hit the team during practice, because of course that was happening when I was there. I then walked about five minutes back to my car to type up this review. Overall, I think the course designer was: A. Not at all familiar with disc golf; B. On acid when he did the design or; C. Just said screw it and let his five year old son design it. It’s so odd, you actually walk more between holes that on the holes themselves, and have to avoid pedestrians the entire time, or the XC team like I did. Thank you for reading this long-winded review!

A few baskets were not attached and on the ground.
