Welcome back Salem! The new holes are a great complement to the remaining original holes. I can't wait until it beats in some more.

Needs course upkeep big time

Not worth the trouble. Not nearly well kept enough for as tight as the fairways are. Nettles, poison ivy, and an ocean of disc-eating ferns. Course is incomplete as far as tee boxes and signs.

4.5/5. This course is not for the faint of heart. This course was designed for intermediate/advanced players, not first timers or beginners. Bring your hiking boots, there’s a lot of elevation to trek through. Fairways were tight yet fair. Plenty of danger and rollaway potential. Be prepared for a long course, bring snacks or water.

Very unique Course, big hike but awesome for experienced players, i definitely would not recommend for beginners

don’t take it personal, a lot of breaking in just needs to be done. very difficult course - which is nice - but it needs a lot more years under its belt until the fairways are broken in and more trees are taken out

Needs a mow on hole 12 real bad; the “Fairway” is knee high and you’ll lose a disc (I did) if you land in the fairway. And hole 11 right before this one is either you hit one of the tightest gaps in CT or sayonara to your disc most likely. Course should not be oversold. Respect to the work put in put it’s extremely challenging and almost unrealistic to do anything other than play placement golf and just play for par on a lot of the holes. Which to me is just not the most fun if I’m going to play a course that takes this long. There are a few great holes and the views are awesome. I think going forward I will probably just walk the course for a good hike with one disc, and play the more fun lines and skip the ones that are a tree kick away from spending 20 minutes looking for a disc. Bring your bug spray no matter what. Watch for tiny stumps that’ll break your toe.

Always fun, always a great workout and provides plenty of opportunities to practice honing your judgment on the tee!

Iconic hole 12. Love a challenging hike while playing. Good use of elevation.

For intermediate and advanced players. A dream woods course to challenge you and hone your game. Some really fantastic design and shots to make your earn the birdie.

Very challenging, but fun course. Some serious elevation changes, lots of shot variety and a little OB sprinkled in for fun.

Potential to be the best course in the state and one of the best in New England. Needs to be beat in and a few holes need a few extra trees felled to open up fairways. But all in all, challenging but special course

A fun and challenging new track. A few holes I found were a little more punishing than necessary but still a good time.

Superb

Southern CT disc golf never fails to disappoint with another horrendous course. Shot shaping is very random and makes no sense, OB in terrible places, throwing up and down steep and rocky hills is dangerous as well as several river crossings that are very bad, trying to hop from wet rock to wet rock. It doesn’t bother me as much but this is very far from a recreational course. Having nearly half the holes be 400+ feet is going to deter every beginner and rec player. This area needs a course designer that knows what they’re doing to grow the sport because this won’t be played much at all, that is if the town doesn’t shut it down again for poor design

Beautiful course - but disc down and hit your gaps. Off the fairway gets tough!

Love the view

It’s great to have this course back. It’s sad that a few of those holes aren’t here anymore. But at the same time the new holes complement the course fantastic and are a great addition. Thank you Rob.

Challenging course with many par 4’s. Needs to break in. Love the suspended baskets. The signage marks OB so watch for it. Expect New England elevation. The trailways are well marked.
