My girlfriend and I played here while on a camping getaway at Watkins Glen. The trip was well worth the half hour car ride to the park. Park is right in downtown Corning NY and is about 3 minutes from the glass museum. We played two rounds and were impressed with the signage and the layout of the course. The course is perfect for beginners and even seasoned players while making you test your nerves over water hazards. I give this course a solid B+

Pros: Nice flight lines, good baskets ( Mach 3) decent signage, clean park.

Cons: Busy park, trees need some trimming, some holes intersect each other which cause confusion for first timers.

Up and coming course in a public park. Fairway lengths are amateur to beginner friendly, while the course itself is definitely more demanding and requires some skill. There are old growth trees that make many holes challenging and the majority of holes are lefty friendly, hope you have a good anheizer shot or flick. The front 12 holes (The Harley Miller Course) are off the water and is a good challenge for beginners. The last 6 are all thrown over water and through trees, adding a bit of difficulty to the course. Newly installed red tee pads on the water holes will make these last ones a bit easier for beginners who don't want to lose their discs in the swamp. The course gets confusing to navigate between holes 6 and 7 and again between 11 and 12. Using the map is DEFINITELY recommended. There are also blue tee pads which extend the playability of the course, but do not really ad much more than 50-100ft in fairway distance. Unfortunately this is a public park and a tight one at that. There are many out of bounds areas and multi-use areas. Watch out for kids, runners, dog walkers, cars, skateboarders, etc. The crossing fairways on 1&2, 5&6, 7&8, and 14&15 are obnoxious but should not be a problem generally speaking as long as the park isn't running a tournament. The course is well maintained year round and all of the white and red tee pads are poured concrete. A fun course for daily play.

This was a fun course. Fairly straightforward in design, but poorly signed. The water was a factor to the play, and added greatly to the beauty of the course along with the lush grass and mature trees. Major negative...the course winds through a public park and I waited for walkers to pass several times. On a busy day I could see this slowing play significantly and altering throws to play safely around picnics. Also, the course winds around on itself with fairways crossing and I would be very careful if others are playing the course.

Very good course given that it goes through our cities main public park. Some fairways cross and there are 4 holes without concrete tee pads. Course design keeps it challenging, especially for how wide open it looks. Being in the park the course is well maintained from the beginning of spring to the end of fall/beginning of winter.
