1985 Old school course! Great fun! Thanks to Matt and Dave for showing me around tonight!

Pros: + Blendon Woods is one of the oldest courses in the state at a whopping 36 years old! Back in 85' this was probably one of the toughest courses anywhere because the disc technology isn't even close to what it is today. When you're playing, it's fun to think of the guys back in the 80s that we're throwing frisbees that went the distance of Wham-O Discs. Now, in 2021, the former difficult course is now a putt putt course for Columbus area disc golfers.

+ Blendon is a perfect place to hang out and throw with friends, no matter what their skill level is. It's really popular with the locals, as the parking lot was full on a soggy Friday evening. Really cool to see groups go out in the rain and just have a good time.

+ While all holes are under 300' and in the woods, there's decent variety to keep things interesting. Every hole has an intrigue of hitting an ace, but being over excited could put you in a tough spot to save par.

+ Great signage and concrete tee pads. The area is dedicated to disc golf and has a practice basket next to the first tee.

+ These heavily wooded courses can be a pain to keep up with, especially in the summer months. It's maintained phenomenally and looks great!

+ Navigation is probably the easiest I've seen in a while, even for a first timer with no knowledge of the course.

Cons: - Every Hole is under 300' so don't come here for a challenge. Like I said earlier, it's like a mini golf course where you go out with 2 Discs and just toss with friends.

Not a big fan of the asphalt greens. This has potential to eat your discs, or scar them at best.

- It was packed when I played, and the weather wasn't all that great. You'll end up having to wait for at least one group if you go out in the evening.

- Pars on the tee signs are very generous, I think most people should play every hole as a par 3.
Other Thoughts:

Blendon is just a fun place to throw. Get a couple friends and go on an ace run adventure through the woods!

Great Course for Beginners and great place if you would like to work on your upshots/accuracy! It's a great teaching course if you're trying to introduce someone to the game. It is the closest thing to a Par 2 course out there that's an established 18 hole course. Not challenging for experienced players, but a fun pitch and putt. It's a well maintained course, but there are no puppies allowed and there is a "required" donation. Nice cement tee pads, but has weird 10 ft asphalt greens that f ...

It's a well maintained course, but there are no puppies allowed and there is a "required" donation. Nice cement tee pads, but has weird 10 ft asphalt greens that frustrate beginners who have good shots that skip away. Good players should shoot 12 to 18 under par and need only bring a mid-range and/or putter. Also, if from out-of-town and looking for a memory one might want to consider that it's just a few minutes from the Brent Hambrick course.
