Played this one over the Holiday weekend. I won't say it was terrible because I have too much respect for the people who work everyday over the years to make the course playable and promote play at it, but it is not something that is worth a drive over to play unless you couple Titan in with it. Even then, it would be more worth it to go to Mosquito and play the 3 courses there. But for me, this was just meh. Nothing strikingly good or bad.

Fun course to play. I play the short holes and there several pretty easy holes but challenging enough to help you improve as a player. Course information at most of the tees needs to be. I�d love to see the heavy brush cleared out down the left side of hole 11. It�s a beautiful course just to walk in.

This is a relatively short course, with a few technical holes. The course is well maintained, but the briars and thorny bushes in several places definitely need some attention (right on hole 7, right of fairway on hole 6, left on hole 12, etc..). Hole 13 is too short, and basically a jump-putt instant birdie. The baskets are out-dated and should be replaced. Tee signs are also out-dated and need to be updated with correct pars and distances. Overall, this is a good course for a fun, casual round, but definitely could be much more.

Beautiful course, evenly open and woods shots. More challenging than you think from tee pads. A force to be reckoned with, staff are friendly, and yet competitive. Can't wait to play in actual leag ... show more ›

Beautiful course, evenly open and woods shots. More challenging than you think from tee pads. A force to be reckoned with, staff are friendly, and yet competitive. Can't wait to play in actual leagues at this course. Glow round was awesome, not overbearing, and just a versatile layout. Beginners, and advanced would enjoy

Fun course with a great layout and some challenging holes. Nice concrete tees with a good bit of the holes having dual tees and a few of the holes even having multiple baskets (#1, #10, #14). The baskets are new(er) and in great shape, and the course is kept in great condition. Water comes into play on a few holes in the form of a winding creek that is fortunately not too hard to retrieve discs from. There is also a good bit of poison ivy and prickers to contend with on many of the wooded holes, so watch out. The local club also does a fantastic job of running events and leagues, so check them out if you have a chance.

My "home course". Great layout. Tee for hole one is awesome. A lot of fun holes with a good level of difficulty. Very wooded. Course is well taken care of. New benches have been added. Could use a couple more along with some additional trash cans, but the course is constantly improving so I anticipate these coming soon. Definitely worth playing. My second home.

This is my home course so its hard to rate. But it is the baseline at which I measure all other courses. Many technical wooded holes, a few nice relatively open holes, some difficult water hazards, and some wonderful "signature" holes in my opinion. Youngs run has a little bit of everything and is a great course to learn on, especially when coupled with the 9 more open kent holes. Well maintaned, and great course design!

Excellent course that is mainly wooded and has some water to make it very challenging. Multiple tee pads and baskets add a variety of shots so any skill level can play & have a good time. Quality baskets and concrete tee pads. Good course map @ the parking lot. The locals here really take care of the course and even decorate it for the holidays!!!

I rate this course 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Pros
- Beautiful wooded scenery with a rolling landscape throughout this MetroPark. The terrain is surprisingly smooth along the paths and fairways. Just a gorgeous forest to have a disc golf course in.
- Huge mix of hyzer and anhyzer shots needed here. This layout requires you to use a variety of angles and shots. As a first timer I was astounded over and over as I came up on the next tee and saw that something completely new awaited me.
- Even though this course is short for an 18 hole course, only 5922’, because of the technicality of this course it feels much larger than that. Also there are 5 holes over 400’ which allow you to loosen up your arm but the majority is very technical.
- Enjoyable elevation changes
- Multiple Tees on many of 10 of the holes. Multiple Baskets for 3 of the holes.
- Excellent concrete tees
- Fantastic Tee Signs on posts showing all the information you need! OB’s, Tees, Next Tee, Baskets, Distance etc…
- Next Tee signs are very helpful
- The Baskets are in great condition and are well labeled
- The water hazards here add a lot to the game and you should be able to easily retrieve your disc if needed
- Outstanding upkeep. The grass, the fairways, the rough, all in tip-top shape.
- Seemed to be some decent traffic from disc golfers on the course but not too heavy. Nothing from civilians since it’s for Disc Golf only.
- Benches and picnic tables are scattered throughout the course
- The entrance is well marked on the road with a big Disc Golf sign
- Fully stocked Kiosk with plenty of local info and the most fancy Scorcard/Maps I’ve ever seen to take along with you
- Practice Basket with distance markers (just note that it’s also Hole #18’s Basket)
- Very clean course and plenty of trash cans
- Brand new, large pavilion with grills and plenty of seating
- Porto-potty at the parking lot
- Located right off the highway, easy to find

Cons
- Holes #13 & 17 are a disappointment on such a nice course. This place deserves more than these under 200’ tosses.
- The flow: Hole #1 starts at the parking lot and Hole #18 ends there. Great flow in that respect. The criss-crossing at Hole #5 & 9 provided a bit of confusion and that, along with the crossing of Hole #7 & 8 could certainly cause some bad blood (safety issue) if the course is packed. Also Hole #15, I realize there is a sign to the Long Tee but it is still confusing to find for the first time (it wasn’t only our group that was confuzzled). Maybe an extra sign for directions there (or maybe it was just us)?

Other Thoughts
- The map is extremely helpful but I believe there might be some ratio issues that could cause a problem. One idea for the next map is to use a satellite view as a stencil.
- Challenging fo sho. There are some extremely creative holes here that will challenge any level player.
- Hole #10 was the most challenging for me. The fairway turns immediately left off the Tee and it’s a tight squeeze through some trees downhill . The fairway to the Long Tee practically forms a horse shoe.
- My favorite hole is Hole #10. Starts out open with a mando on the right down a hill with a beautiful view. The fairway tights up a bit as it curves right. The Long Basket has some guardian trees to test you.
- This was a very enjoyable course and worth my 1.5 hour drive to check it out. Combine this with the 9 hole course at Kent University across the street for a full day of fun. Oh, and we enjoyed the spooky masks and plastic alien stuck onto trees at random =) Huge thanks to the obvious hard time and hard work it takes to keep this course going.

Overall a very enjoyable course, played the longs and many holes tested my patience. Good mix with the majority of the course situated within a wooded area. Accuracy brings reward. Many tee pads and fairways cross which could be very bad on a busy day, and a handful of the wooded holes each could use a better defined fairway by removing a few trees. Will play again should the opportunity arise again. No.1 just may be the perfect starting hole.
