Pretty good course overall. Brand new baskets with Innova Disccatchers are a massive upgrade from the poor Mach III that seem to be too common in the Columbus area. The first 6 holes are more open shots with significant elevation change. Hole 7 and 8 are huge downhill and uphill shots in the woods, but around the 200' for total distance. These 2 holes alone make it so I wouldn't really call the course cart friendly due to roots and such. Hole 9 is the only full woods shot with a technical line, other than maybe hole 1 from the long tee. The rest of the course is basically throwing out from the woods or into the woods where the basket is, with elevation still in play. Makes for an interesting course as the design effectively challenges your throw types. In the winter it was easy to find where all the discs end up, in the summer it appears like it should mostly be that way too.

Downsides of the course, I do not remember many trash cans. There are plenty of long walks between holes, hole 7 to 8, 11 to 12, and especially 17 to 18. The course also does not drain well and is one of the most muddy courses I've ever played in the winter.

I forgot how cool this course is once you find it, only real negative is directions to the course which can be suspect however once there, course offers great scenery, variety and use of all your shots/discs especially from the long tees. The signage is only other negative but the course flow is easy to follow other than after hole 11, you must walk back to tee box for 12.. A must play if you are in the area!

Great Course, but try not to throw into the woods because there are some hairy parts that like to eat discs. With that said, most, 2/3, holes are fairly open. Good mix of long vs. short holes and th ... show more ›

Great Course, but try not to throw into the woods because there are some hairy parts that like to eat discs. With that said, most, 2/3, holes are fairly open. Good mix of long vs. short holes and there are some absolute bombs from the long tees -- and by this I mean one is playing for 3 even if one is a top level pro on a couple of them. Extremely fun, fairly secluded, picturesque course located about 1 hour drive from downtown Columbus. Perhaps not the best beginner course because of length, but open enough for beginner to throw on most holes without losing a disc.

First time back after a few years, tough finding it due to construction (not the course's fault). No map of the course and limited, to no signage at the pads. Thankfully someone drew the layout of the holes on the posts with a sharpie. Without the cave drawings and other than the direction of the pad I wouldn't know where to throw. The course was in great shape considering the recent rain. Once we figured out where we were going it was great and we had a blast. Need to remember to bring a voluntary donation next time - didn't bring cash.
