Certainly lives up to its name, but the course doesn't utilize the titular hill particularly effectively. Most of the course is dedicated to zig-zagging up and down the side of the hill. Too many pure tunnel shots. Too many small "filler" holes. However, a handful of interesting hole designs keep it from getting a lower score.

Being a relatively new player (est. Aug 2010) and having probably only played 6 or 7 different courses, Devens is one of my favorites that I've been to thus far. I find it to be a fair bit challenging but very fun. The whole course is on the side of a small hill so you get a mixed variety of uphill and downhill shots. It's pretty well wooded and cleared well of short brush and debris, as well as well defined fairways. No water hazards. Every hole is par 3, some easy some tough...I average about 4 on each as a tomahawk/thumber thrower.

One of the best courses in New England. A lot of fun to play and quite the workout. If you enjoy Disc Golf and Hiking like I do, this blends both perfectly. I play this course once a week and never get tired of it. Alot of great holes for forehand throwers like myself. The course is always kept in prime condition which is really appreciated!

This course channeled my inner mountain goat.A lot of up and down - which is not fun in the winter with a bunch of ice. I think I would prefer to play in the summer.I loved the elevation changes (something you don't find a bunch in MA) - and there are a couple of holes where you can let it rip - and get a nice float downhill. I would count #8 and #12 among those. Hole 8 was definitely my favorite - but the fact that you had to play hole #7 to get there almost made it not worth it. Hole 7 is what some people might call a technical hole - you know, one where you must use accuracy and skill to get through tight fairways. However, most people with any sense would call hole #7 a complete crap-shoot! The only way to truly navigate this hole is with a chainsaw (and extra blades!). Overall, though, I enjoyed the course. Lots of challenge - but with a few short, easy holes to keep you from slitting your wrists. Very good signage - which certainly helped on our first visit. I must salute the General. He kicked my ass today. But I will be back to taunt him a second time!
