No two holes alike, but all with character. Elevated tees, greens and undulating fairways with mature trees and lush grass. Wonderful mix of open and wooded holes. Red, White and Blue tees - 5700'/7250'/8300'. Par 66.

If you're a very serious disc golfer, then this course might be for you. It is a very challenging and very long course with lots of woods, lots of challenging climbs, and a number of very narrow approaches. The course is well-designed and well-laid out, and there are VERY nice tee boxes. There is also very good signage, though the course was not easy to find. While it typically takes my threesome about 75 minutes to play a typical course, it took us twice as long to play this course. Because of the terrain, it also takes some effort to walk the course, and it can be exhausting for a first- or second-timer. The course balances sun and shade, and most of the holes play through the woods. While the holes and scoring are mostly fair, there are several holes that I would describe as ridiculously challenging. If you're going to play this course, bring some water and your A game.
