Course now has signs on every hole and new turf teepads are being installed. The Bennett's Creek chain gang has put together fairway cleanup days so there are clean lines on every hole (a few are tight but fair). It's mainly a wooded course with a few open shots and one long completely open hole. Very well-rounded course that has improved greatly over the past few years.

Challenging course alongside a marshy creek. Water is play on several holes, while tight lines require accurate fairway shots on many others. Navigating if you're new could be a challenge. I'm glad I ... show more ›

Challenging course alongside a marshy creek. Water is play on several holes, while tight lines require accurate fairway shots on many others. Navigating if you're new could be a challenge. I'm glad I had a guide the first time I played it, and did fine on my own on my second visit. Flags to mark the baskets would be really helpful, since many of the baskets are tucked into the trees. Watch out for poison ivy in the summer.

This may be a great course for locals, but anyone playing without a guide will be lost. Baskets are not all marked, tee markers are camouflage, tee boxes have no identification. It would not even take ... show more ›

This may be a great course for locals, but anyone playing without a guide will be lost. Baskets are not all marked, tee markers are camouflage, tee boxes have no identification. It would not even take an hour for a local to walk around make tee boxes noticeable. This Course has potential but shame on the locals for not even trying to make this course visitor friendly.

I'm sure I'm just spoiled but this is not your average course. I'm being generous in my grade simply because it has tremendous potential. Whoever designed this course did pretty well. If some money is ... show more ›

I'm sure I'm just spoiled but this is not your average course. I'm being generous in my grade simply because it has tremendous potential. Whoever designed this course did pretty well. If some money is spent and some TLC is given, this could be an amazing course. Oh, and it's HARD! I hope a decent disc club assembles here and puts in the work. I'll visit here again in my travels but for now it will not be my destination.

Pros: 1) Challenging course. Most of the holes are in the woods and there are plenty of trees to punish you if you don't make a good shot. 2) Mostly shaded - Allows you to play throughout the summe ... show more ›

Pros:
1) Challenging course. Most of the holes are in the woods and there are plenty of trees to punish you if you don't make a good shot.
2) Mostly shaded - Allows you to play throughout the summer without burning up or getting too hot.
3) Elevation Change - This is a good amount of elevation change considering how flat the area around it is. There is a good number of holes where the elevation makes the game a little more challenging.
4) Water holes - There are two holes where you can tee off over the water/marsh which adds to the excitement and challenge.
Cons: 1) Lack of signage - Many of the holes have signs but there are a few that are missing.
2) Finding tees - The tees are mostly wooden blocks and generally aren't too hard to find but there were a few holes where it was difficult to determine which tee was which.
3) Baskets hard to find - Being in a wooded area the baskets were sometimes hard to spot from the tee. A bright flag or bright colored baskets would help. Finding the basket for hole 11 was tough. I ended up heading to what I thought was 11 but was acutally 14. However this may just be a first timer's mistake.
4) Navigation - Most of the holes were fairly easy to find but there were a few exceptions.
5) Pedestrians - Some of the fairways double as a walking path in the park so there is a chance that someone may walk into the fairway.
Other Thoughts: I enjoyed this course very much. It is definetely a challenge, particularly for a beginner but if you can succeed here you will do well elsewhere. It has a good mix of open holes and wooded areas. Hole 10 is all out in the open so if you want to test your driver this is the hole for you. If you are bringing first timers out it might be better to start on the back 9. The cons I have listed are just small things to be aware of. You may get turned around a little on your first trip around the course but it is enjoyable and well worth the trip.
