Not for Disc Golfers! I went today and paid $20 to walk the course on a weekday in the mid-morning. When we got there almost no one else was golfing. I expected it to be $17 because this was the price listed on UDisc and maybe even less with it being a weekday but it seemed like another $3 was no big deal. As it turns out paying $10 would have been too much after the way it went.

The woman working the desk was pleasant enough and that's where this place even gets one star. As for the course, it was pretty bad, tee pads right next to ball golf tee boxes and then throwing to Red baskets for 1-9 and then looping around to play Blue baskets for 10-18. So you're running the exact route as the ball golfers.

In a perfect world that would be fine but for us it was terrible. We would wait for the group of ball golfers to finish ahead of us, a common courtesy no matter what sort of golf you play, only to have the group behind us hitting into us as we made our way to the basket. This is not a big course and golfers we're teeing off and hitting balls within 10 feet of us on several occasions.

We went back to the club house to rent a cart (another $20) to get away from the first group hitting into us and start at a new tee only to have another group come upon us and hit into us again!

We ended up leaving after hole 15 because my buddy was getting so angry and we had driven a company owned vehicle and didn't want any bad exposure from getting in a spat with someone on the course.

So to conclude we paid a total of $60 to play a course that is basically just a 9 hole and had such extremely disrespectful ball golfers we couldn't even finish for fear of being struck by a ball at every hole.

If you don't want disc golf here then take out the baskets and don't claim to be a disc golf course! Don't setup pads right next to the ball golf tee boxes and then have the basket at the edge of the green!

I'm going to leave this review everywhere I can think of so no one else makes the mistake of paying you only to play a faux 18 hole course and be ran off by old men who have no couth and recklessly play through disc golfers.

While you have no control over what sort of unsavory patrons you attract you do have control over the layout of your course and cost to play it.
