Dover Park

I want to first justify the rating this way....This course is not that good as a true disc golf course design....It is more of a scale model is the best way I can describe it. This was designed by a local eagle scout and this was his project, to install a disc golf course. This scout contacted the park officials, local businesses, got approval on design, purchased baskets and tee pad materials and had signs made up; while doing this under all disc golfers and they had no clue....it was kinda lik ...

All in all the idea is there and its great that 9 baskets are in the ground....but if you are traveling plan on playing another course as well that day.

This course is short, and only nine holes. But it came out of nowhere and is a good way to spend a half hour if in the area. They have alternate tee areas that make it possible to throw 18 "holes" at the nine baskets. Ace runs are the rule, but there are a few holes around 300 ft and 1 or two in some tight trees that actually remind me of the back nine at killens, long rows of pines I think. Like the first review noted, this is a "freebie" course that came out of nowhere thanks to a boy sc ...

Like the first review noted, this is a "freebie" course that came out of nowhere thanks to a boy scout project. Its not as good as a "real" course like at the state parks or upstate but its not bad for what it is.
Noone knows about this course either it seems, both times Ive been there people in the park looked at me like I was from Mars.

This is a 9 hole course that has an additional 9 posted that uses the same baskets from different tees. The course is relatively short with only one hole over 300ft on the front nine. The hole designs are good however with a lot of accuracy required. The maintenance is not so good with many roots and pine straw on the natural tees that make throwing difficult. Also many of the tee signs are so close to the tee that you risk slamming your hand against them on your follow-through. The back 9 ...

Also many of the tee signs are so close to the tee that you risk slamming your hand against them on your follow-through. The back 9 is on wooden signs posted on trees but there is no way of knowing where they are going to be as a first timer. This is a decent course for a quick game in Dover, however if given the choice, I would rather play Killens pond which is only a few miles south on rt.13.
