This course is beautiful and provides some great views of the landscape and wildlife. However, It's clear that the disc golf users are the lowest on the totem poll when it comes to using the par-3 course. Heck, even the foot golf users have better signage and actual flags at their holes. They'll give you a map at the pro shop but it doesn't have the disc golf holes on it. The best use of this course is to go on an off day and throw every disc in your bag on the nice grass. $15 entry fee is tough too.

Major CON- the greens fee has increased to $15! Boo! The fee is SO not worth it! There are too many other cons to list like NO tee signs, NO tees marked. It’s very hard to navigate, even with the holes map. The golf property is quite beautiful so that accentuates what a lost opportunity this was. This is the WORST disc golf course on a Golf course that I’ve ever played. Only the most obsessed course collectors should go there.
