The perfect combination between difficult and fun. A lot of shots require you to get lucky, but luck is so available on this hallowed ground. Amazing blend of long and short shots, the island greens were so much fun to play, and Hole 12 is the first 8 I've taken where I couldn't wait to play the hole again. Idlewild is something special.

Well respected & justifiably so. Pack a lunch cause it’s as long of a course as you may ever play. It’s got everything from an Ace run to the 1,000 foot hole. Fred Salez designed this course and i ... show more ›

Well respected & justifiably so. Pack a lunch cause it’s as long of a course as you may ever play. It’s got everything from an Ace run to the 1,000 foot hole. Fred Salez designed this course and is in the Disc Golf Hall of Fame for course design. He also built up Mt. Airy Forest DGC across the river in Cincinnati.

Despite the high degree of difficulty, I actually enjoy this course a lot! Every single hole seems to have a difficult feel and in terms of sheer variety, you can't go wrong here. The greens are made of the same substance that you find in regular golf (mini-golf as well) which was a fun touch and the layout is quite impressive! A few holes could be marked a bit better but overall, I can see why Idlewild is one of the "Big 3" near Cincinnati. Definitely play this course if you are an Intermediate/Advanced player!

recommend taking picture of course map at hole 1. hard to find some holes there as a first time player.
EDIT: I have now played this course at least 3 times (twice in a Nati Big 3 tourney) and as hard and challenging as this course is, has quickly become a favorite because of the challenge. My course review raised to an A. Can still be hard to find holes though if you have never played it before.

Don't ever pass this up! One of the best courses I have played if not the best. Absolutely epic and has everything to offer. Definitely the hardest course too, I've encountered. Will challenge all shots.Long, wide grippy concrete tee boxes. Designed to perfection with multiple pin locations on... I believe all the holes, sometimes even 3! All pins were not in. Most were in the long position however there were a lot that had 2 pins in. Multiple tees (nice big tee signs), elevation, trash buckets- every hole, water-which has a creek running through dang near the whole course making for O.B. EVERY HOLE almost. AND SO MUCH MORE AND FREE!

This course is the got to be one of the most amazing courses in the country. Based on most peoples ratings it is. Island greens, huge holes, multi pin placements, super technical holes Elevation. Truely Epic. . Any pro well come back drooling for more. Maybe not best suited for low leveled players. It should get a A+, I'm reserving that for the one only reason that I wass not able to play the course in its full entirety due to dozens of people fishing one of the ponds. I could not play the long pin on 2 to the island and Could not play E at all. Close the course down for a Tourney and A+ all day!!!!!!

This is the best course I have played to date. Some of the holes have actual putting greens. Long and wooded holes with some open. Water also comes into play for several holes, but it's relatively easy to get your discs back. You will walk like 3.5 miles playing this course. Expect elevation changes as well. This course is strenuous and challenging, but very fun. They also have bonus holes A-F. Definitely make a trip to play this course.

Believe the hype! Incredible course with an insane amount of care and construction. The raised, masoned greens, walled creeks and bridges create an incredible feel, with amazing use of O.B. areas to add even more difficulty, i was almost happy to throw into the creek approaching 11, just to putt from the sweet drop zone over the creek

Wow! What can I say about this course... Its the course you love to hate or hate to love. Amazing variety of shots and pin placements. Scenery is beautiful and it is one of the best manicured courses I've ever played thanks to Fred and all his helpers. Its one of the courses I miss the most after moving to Colorado. Go there!

Wow. Tough, beautiful, very well maintained. Idlewild has everything. It would be criminal if the PDGA doesn't have a world championships in the near future using this course. I had not been here since the 2008 Bluegrass Open and I thought it was tough then - some of the pins were actually moved farther back! I cannot think of any negatives about this course - except that may not be good for beginners!

Amazing, couldn't possibly be better. Hardest pin placements I have ever played. Perfectly manicured fairways. Perfect tees which are massive. Maintenance of the course is unlike anything I have seen. It is like flip in its overall maintenance but it is at a different level because its not just mowing grass, its building dozens of bridges, gravel paths, walkways, benches, the best tee signs I've ever seen, posts along the creeks to prevent erosion/ maintain the land. The list is endless, the course is amazing and brutal in every way.
