Fun little 9 hole course! Playing it through 2x from their different tee boxes definitely makes it feel like you're not playing the same course twice. Fair prices as well which is always nice! In great shape right now. Greens were running smooth, maybe a tad slow. I'd return, and in fact will return for another go tomorrow

They set up the disc golf baskets for a group of us after having taken them down for the season literally the day before. Amazing, friendly owners here.

Pros: Fairways and greens are pretty good for a small local course. Cons: Each hole has 2 tee boxes. One is for playing the "front" 9 and the other for the "back" 9. There are no signs directing you to the next tee. REALLY? The scorecard map didn't help must. Come on. Direction signs aren't that expensive! Plus, you have to merge with the groups playing the back. All very confusing! Best for locals.

Nice little course. 9 holes but you can make it 10 by playing different tee boxes they has set up and it can change some of the yardage and angles by 50+ yards. Greens were in good shape for the price of the course. Club house was nice with food and drinks. The people working (owning) were awesome too. I’ll play again when I’m back in the area.
