This is a special place. A lot of love and care has been put into this course. A challenging course that can adhere to a variety of skill levels. Ken is a great guy and was an absolute pleasure to hangout with on his course. I look forward to checking out this place in the fall (prime disc golf season). Hippo Ridge is a hidden gem that has me wishing I lived closer so that I could visit more often. If you’re a disc golf fan looking for a great course, this place is worth whatever drive you need to make in order to play it. I will certainly be back, hopefully next time to enjoy a tournament.

Great course and even better host! Ken's passion for his course is evident in his willingness to guide groups through it and his interest in seeing the lines people choose.

This course is very difficult but incredibly fun.

I personally loved the natural tee pads. I often slip on other types of pads, but these have amazing grip and held up well. If it isn't smooth when you walk up, you can easily stomp it down.

Ken Sampson is extremely nice & you must schedule a time for him to play on your first time. This is a TOUGH course. No concrete tees. No markers. They are all natural tees. Most are fine except for m ... show more ›

Ken Sampson is extremely nice & you must schedule a time for him to play on your first time. This is a TOUGH course. No concrete tees. No markers. They are all natural tees. Most are fine except for maybe 3 tees. Make no doubt about it this is a good course & 100% worth the drive. A trip worth taking at least once.
From the red tees probably 4 birdie oops.
My rating is based on too many holes where I didn’t know what I was throwing at.
Signs, next tee markers and better tee pads needed.

Awesome course, beautiful scenery and no chances of losing a disc. The course will challenge you with any throws in your bag. Multiple tee choices to play from on each hole. Some wide open shot to mor ... show more ›

Awesome course, beautiful scenery and no chances of losing a disc. The course will challenge you with any throws in your bag. Multiple tee choices to play from on each hole. Some wide open shot to more technical shots. If you haven't played it yet you need to message Ken and get out there. Ken and his family are great hosts very friendly, with a great course.

Played the white tees. A very challenging course. Most holes are very technical with varying size trees in the fairway. Tee pads are natural, made out of mostly wood chips. For the longer distance holes it is difficult to get an even run up. There is very few flat areas, elevation is a factor on every hole. Ken is a very gracious host, made time to play with is.

Hippo Ridge dgc is by far my new favorite course. This course has everything I want and nothing that I don't. Friendly environment, wide variety of shots, very well maintained, multiple tee pads, and no real threat of losing a disc. On top of that, the host/course designer was quite hospitable and helpful. Good times at Hippo Ridge DGC. 1 love.

Incredible course! I’ve played this course a few time now and I love it more every time. I had the opportunity to play all my rounds with the owner/designer and I truly enjoyed talking with him about the history and development of his course. Each set of tees is a different challenge. You will use every shot in your bag. There are several very unique holes that very enjoyable. If you live near the course set up a tee time and make the drive to play it. If you live far away do the same it will be well worth the trip.

I really enjoy the different shot selections required to make it around the course. It is an even split between left and right hand holes. The course is very well maintained and is dog friendly. Sp ... show more ›

I really enjoy the different shot selections required to make it around the course. It is an even split between left and right hand holes. The course is very well maintained and is dog friendly. Spending a Sunday afternoon out at Hippo Ridge is the highlight of the week for both myself and Scooter the Wonder Dog.

Awesome course nestled in the foothills outside of Athens Ohio. Multiple pin/tee placements. Wide variety of shots (uphill, downhill, hallways and open). Best course in the area in my opinion. Great host and land owner has made his property into an amazing course, jealous. Wish I lived closer! Check it out!
