Great historic course which you can play fairly quick. Short tees (main tee signs), are beginner friendly and are a good mix of forehand and backhand friendly holes. Many of the locals know longer layouts and are more then happy to show you how they play. Longer map is tougher yet a bunch of fun!!! Please be careful of pedestrians as this is on a college campus. Have fun and enjoy!

Remarkably bad course. Poorly designed and worse maintained. I’m a neophyte player and hated. However, you could try to bean the students that walk through the course; because that’s how the course was planned.

Loved this 1978 built course, acknowledging that I played on a Sunday. The short tees are well marked (I think small flags in the ground signify longer tees but I didn’t dare try those on a first trip!), I really loved how technical and challenging the course was despite having short holes. There are a few hazards to be found in addition to the obstacles (notably parked vehicles, buildings and if you really let one fly left a stream!). It was quiet (which is important because some holes require a wander back along the fairway to the next tee or a rather more circuitous route that might well involve other fairways) and I can imagine rather more difficult to play if school’s in session! Had a lovely time all in all and have firm ambitions to visit again before heading away from the area.

The reason I like this place a lot is because you can get a round finished and under an hour. If you are alone, you may even be able to get two full rounds in about an hour if you are playing the short T pad layout. Not a bad course at all for beginners. There is one hole that has a water hazard for right handed throwers. That is probably the only hole that a beginner will have a challenge with. If you want it to get a round of this in on a workday, it is very feasible to do so since you can be in an out and under an hour. The other nice thing is that you can go on with 3 to 4 discs and hand instead of carrying your bag. If you are an average disc golfer. You will probably be shooting right around par. On a good day, you probably will have a couple under par and on a bad day just a couple over par. If you are an avid disc golfer, who shoots well, you should always be under par here.

Great par 3 course, you can definitely try your luck at at an ace run on many of the holes. Good place to practice short throws. I have never had an issue with students being in the way of playing. There are time you need to wait to throw but no big deal.
