A few holes have “tee markers”. Wouldn’t attempt playing this course without this app. Basket 9 has half of the chains hanging off.

Course plays in a circle. Unkempt, it's got lots of overgrowth, no tee pads and very bad design. There are places baskets or tees could be moved to but looks like they just stuck them wherever. It's a shame, baskets are nice but the design needs LOTS of work, could be a decent pitch and putt course with different layout. Currently most holes have no lines, you throw in or around overgrowth.

Seems abandoned. No upkeep

This place has potential. Some of the trees need trimmed, tee areas needs actual pads, and the signage is among the worst. There is a back 9 that pretty much plays like a free for all, no signage whatsoever or even tee pads.

Front nine is marked but not well. Back nine (across the bridge) is not marked.

Nice layout and good exercise up a sled hill on 7 and 8.

@kyler88green

Theres no marker indicators or anything to tell you where to go or how for the holes are.

@coreyrunner593

Like to hold water after it rains in some spot has a lot of tight tunnel shots great practice with putter course

@gluechunk

Playing here wasn't that fun. (Admittedly I spent multiple minutes searching for a disc on just the first hole and played conservatively after that.) Don't introduce someone to disc golf by taking them here. They will likely end up hating DG, possibly hating you, and may even hate anything plastic and woodsy. If it weren't for udisc and the user supplied map photo I probably wouldn't have found all the tees. On the plus side the baskets are great.

@postalmak

Fairways are very rough, need trimmed very bad. Better tee markings. Potential if the work is put in.

@marcjr

Nice new course

@drewmoreock

Couldn’t navigate and didn’t have any signs or teepads.

@zachmcgough

dogas$ of a course

@weston12

Very confusing a ton of trees and unorganized

@djbwellz01

Wish there was a better indication where some of the holes were. Over all I had a lot of fun.

@kegbez18

A lot of short holes but a good amount of technical holes. Be careful on the first two for throwing over the fence into farmland

@vglopez3

Played course today for the first time. Very enjoyable. Could use some tee pads or better signage. UDisc tee pads a little off from current signage or poles.

@preteroti74

Nice little course. Tight fairways. Bugs will be a big problem here.

The course needs help but has the potential to be much better. Safety concerns: Hole 1 & 2 throw along a rusty barb wire property fence, so be careful not to throw over it! Hole 3 & 4 fairways overlap. Hole 9 is blind from the tee and throws towards picnic tables and a shelter house. Some holes are a bit crowded together. There is only 1 disc golf sign on the entire course which is the free UDisc sign by the parking lot. Most holes have no designated tee areas. The practice baskets are appreciated; however, they do not match and one is too high and leaning. Currently, holes 12, 15, and 18 are knocked down with their foundations still attached, and hole 16’s basket is down by 12 with its sleeve all bent (see photos). Hole 7 is also leaning pretty bad. Hole 9’s inner chains are disconnected from the top. I’m guessing all this is from vandalism, maybe bigger foundations would help. I think the course has potential to be great with some redesign, signage, designated tees, and cleanup of brush and graffiti. Other than the chemical smells from the wastewater treatment plant, park is beautiful with lots of elevation and views. I am thankful for the time and money that was put into this course and am sad to see it in its current condition. I hope to update this review with a more positive one in the future. Ideas: Perhaps this park would be better suited for a 9 hole course with 2 pin locations per hole. Quality over quantity; this could improve the course flow and safety. Holes 1-3 could be eliminated. Start on hole 4 and move the tee back. Could maybe throw 7’s tee to 8 pin, and 8’s tee to 9 pin. Maybe could add a short hole over the river by the bridge(would need some clearing). Combine holes 10-12 into one long par 4 or 5 with the basket on top of hill at the bottom of the steps. Reconfigure holes 13-15 to flow and maybe combine 17-18 into another long par 4. I believe this could be one of the most epic 9-hole courses in Ohio.
