Cacapon State Park

It’s a nice site with potential but needs some love…the course has a wild/neglected feel. Lots of dead and fallen trees and branches. Expect some clambering over rocks and logs. There were a few inaccuracies. Hole 2 on UDisc was over 600 feet but the actual basket was half that. Tee locations were a little off too, but they were easy to find because they are covered with blue fabric which stands out from the forest floor. No tee pad on 1, no signage on the course. You can use the orange reflectors on the trees for wayfinding on the front 9. 4th basket was missing a few chains. The first five holes work your way up a mountain. Hole 6 at the top was my favorite hole, with a cool tee area and danger of going off the hill on the left of the fairway. Hole 8 was fun, throwing down the hill, but a slightly dangerous walk down rocks to the basket if you are not sure footed. Hole 7 was absurdly long with trees and no view of the basket until my 4th throw. For 7 I just followed the reflectors since I couldn’t see the basket and eventually got there. Only played the first 9 since I ran out of time. Amenities are good since it’s at a state park and golf course. *Update after playing back 9* no teepads or wayfinding reflectors on the trees for the back 9. Most baskets are super long and not visible from the tee so you have to rely on UDisc to know which direction to throw. No trails between the ‘tee’ spot and the basket so you are literally walking through branches and fallen trees like in nature. Hole 16 you have to throw off a steep embankment with no trail down so be careful going down it. The only hole I liked on the back 9 was #12 which was a long bomber throw along the back of the dam and into a wooded area but the basket was not visible until my 4th throw on that one, way up on the hill on the other side of the ravine. Back 9 is EXTREME BUSHWHACKING DISC GOLF! Long holes, No clear lines! Wear boots! Protect yourself from ticks and Step carefully!
