The worst course I have played. The tee boxes are a joke, even the new concrete ones are very short. The is very little signage. Most of the time I had no idea where to even find a tee pad and if I did then I had to figure out which way to throw. The course could be so much better. They need help, if they don't have a local club in Wayne County they need to call for the help of a neighboring club in Holmes or Summit County. If you are not familiar with it, you will have a hard time. I navigated as best I could.

Quit after playing 2 holes. Green area around #1 had grass and weeds 8-12 inches high. Hole #2 requires you to essentially slide down a hill after your tee shot. We skipped to hole #10, which is covered with weeds and poison ivy. Walked to 11, took one look, ... gave up and drove to another course. It's a shame -- I used to live in Wooster several decades ago, and they used to take great pride in their parks. This was a mess. Avoid it.

Had a pretty awful experience this past saturday. I played this course a few years ago and it is not how I remember. Hole's are absurdly overgrown. Bridges get ridiculously slick at the slightest precipitation. Signage is horrendous. I still don't know where hole 15 is. Won't be coming back for a long time. I hope the home players step up and get this thing in shape.

I rate this course 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Pros
- Plenty of Parking and pavilions with grills. Highest quality pavilions I’ve ever seen with sunken concrete stairs and nice slanted roofs.
- Bring the family! Very nice playground, the pool is huge and has a diving board. There is basketball & volleyball. Multiple baseball fields to practice your bombs in. Drinking fountains at the bathrooms.
- Eye-catching Disc Golf sign by the water on Hole #9
- There are a few holes with multiple tees
- The natural tees are in decent condition, still fairly level, but some can be hard to locate
- Baskets are in great condition and well labeled
- Very nice Next Tee Signs on nearly all the baskets!
- The Flow is not bad, but it’s not good either. Hole #1 and hole #18 are far from each other, however, the course does flow from hole to hole well. I suggest parking at Hole #18 so when you finish the course you can chill at the pavilions and visit with friends and consider doing another round ;)
- The forest is beautiful and very thick but not too thick for a disc golf course. It rides that line perfectly.
- Low to medium traffic for disc golfers
- There are bathrooms by Hole #1 & by Hole #15’s basket & also inside the Pool area
- There are trash cans and the course is very clean
- The lawns are kept mowed very well and there is some excellent maintenance of the fairways with mulching and clearing of brush.
- Great variety of distances & elevations & tree challenges. You will need your entire bag of tricks!
- Holes #9-12 provide you with a water obstacle to test your abilities. Hole #9 long tee goes directly over the pond!

Cons
- Weed eating during the Summer season is nearly nil. Holes #1, 2, 16, 17 & 18 are nearly Unplayable without a spotter because the natural growth becomes so substantial in the fairways. The risk vs. reward factor becomes too much to deal with.
- There is a walking path and small roads weaving around the back 9 and there can be some heavy traffic by bikers and cars and everything else. I’ve personally had to wait a lot for walkers and have had to take the long way to holes because of parked cars. This actually is the main reason that I don’t come to this course more because I just detest dealing with the frustration of having so many parked cars in my way.

Other Thoughts
- The course could use a few more places to sit. I do not count this against my course rating though.
- This course is fairly challenging overall but a recreational player should not have much trouble scoring in the 60’s.
- There are a few holes that are extremely challenging, most notably Holes #4, 8, 13 & 17. Out of those I would say that #17 is the most challenging. It’s a tight downhill fairway to start with and you throw over the bridge (small water obstacle) and then it’s a tight path that weaves back and forth to an uphill blind basket. This hole can be very frustrating if you find yourself in some of the rough to the right of the basket.
- My favorite hole is hole #9! Love throwing across the water and I dread it at the same time.
- This is really is a great course, very beautiful and fun, but it is just a bit disappointing when the back 9 is full of parked cars and picnic-go’ers. It’s not a course you need to travel long distances to try, but if you are in the area this is a MUST play course. I highly recommend hitting this course in the Fall or Winter!

Ryan said it all. People get in the way some times and the upkeep is very poor. Im shocked i didn't loose any plastic this time. The course has potential and has seen better days. Freelander was designed to favor lefty's or forehand throwers. I used forehand shots that i would have never tried. This place is good for anybody to learn and improve.

This is an underrated course. Many holes have short and long tees, with potential for pro tees. Short tees are good for true beginners and children, long tees are a test of accuracy, but that's about it. Easy course if you can hit your spots. Great baskets, Great park with all the amenities you'd need. Biggest con is the lack of course upkeep, coupled with the amount of people that can get in the way on the back 9. Favors sidearm/lefties but not overly so. Superior practice course, play it and your game will improve no doubt. The tee signs are in total disrepair, have fun finding your way around if you don't know the course. Personally, I love the course, i've made pro tees that make the difficulty much greater. This course will let you figure out your midrange game if nothing else. Come on down to Woo-Town! It's better than you'd expect!
