The five link rating is a given. This course is unbelievable. It is a three x 9-hole loop. Very challenging and satisfying.
As a course it is a must play.
Serene Sylvan Cathedral to enjoy the beauty of nature and take time to soak your feet in a crystal cool stream when you get your disc from OB.
This is the first course that I played after moving to MD. I gave this course 4 stars for a few reasons. Great Course but a few changes and this course would be a "5" in my book!
Pros:
Great layout and a brilliant design to have a 27 hole course with 3 9-Hole loops all ending back at the parking lot. Great change in play with a variety of holes. This is not a course for just a Righty or Lefty. Great Doubles tourneys on Tuesday I believe and there is a great group of DG players. Some Very Very good Pro's to learn from. The Course is so big that I never have found myself getting backed up or even playing through a group. The Park Office also sells a variety of discs and merchandise and they have a great lost and found program so if you lose one out there just check back in a few weeks to see if someone picked it up.
Cons:
The first time I played this course I loved it but a few things that I didn’t like. First the Parking is "ok". On the day to day basis the parking is fine but can get over crowded and have to park on the grass. But on a doubles tourney or a PDGA event parking is crazy! I did get word from a park ranger that they are building new parking connecting to the original lot but I don’t know when it will be done. I also didn’t like the small pads. Some are decent sized and some are so skinny. I feel like I worry too much about if I'm on the pad or not than my actual throw. There is a lot of deer out there but they don’t care that your there. They don’t mind it so much that I have hit a few (on accident of course) and they don’t even move. Bugs can be crazy in the summer!!! Some people bring face nets and I know I bring a bottle of bug spray with me at all times. It gets so bad that I have to swat them away from my face seconds before I putt or all I see is a black flying mob in front of my face.
Conclusion:
Don’t think because my cons paragraph is longer than my pros that this is a bad course. This is a great course and I would recommend any Disc Golfer to play this course to see what a great variety of holes they have. And be prepared to take a few hours to play. The holes are very long and if you’re not used to playing consistently long courses be warn your arm will hurt in the morning!
