This course in Fall and Winter is amazingly tough/unregretable. a slight wind added a bit of discomfort but the improvements on the course and lack of leaves in the trees just made today spectacular. i truly love the technicality of this course

I loved this course! Directly behind Hocking college in a beautiful setting. I was skeptical after I arrived because the first hole kinda sucked, however, once you work around the back of the 1st building into the woods, hang-on cuz it gets fun! The holes are short most all under 300' unless you play from the longs which do not increase by that much. The wooded holes I thoroughly enjoyed. Elevation insane! Throwing down mountains, up mountains, across valleys, surrounded by mature trees an ...

I rate this course 4 out of 5 stars. Pros - Plenty of parking - Bathrooms are at the Student Center - The map is handy but the trails are very defined as well - 8 holes have multiple tees - There are next tee signs that are extremely helpful! - Tee signs are great and you can see that a lot of work went into them - Baskets are in excellent condition (I believe they were also labeled but don’t quote me) - The overall flow is good. #18 ends at #1 right by the parking lot. There ...

A very fun course with lots of variety. The holes in the hills were spectacular with rewards for well-placed shots and obstacles for missed shots. Several holes surrounded by very steep drop-offs. Great use of terrain and elevation. Just about the best course I've played. Prepare to spend a couple of hours - you'll want to try extra drives on quite a few holes. Bring water and bring a friend - hard to describe some holes, you'll want to share this course.

Course is tight and technical, the wooded holes and the change in elevation make it a great course!!!

great technical couse with not much distance, but some very tricky wooded shots with ravines and cliffs to throw off or around. tricky terrain on the wooded holes, but the hike is worth it. there is a lot of areas where discs can go off sides of ravines with some treacherous walks to fetch them, so i'd scout the area before playing the course. natural tee pads are always a negative, but the area was well groomed and the course flow was very easy to follow. most holes have 2 tees, which is al ...

Great course. Must play with technique. Think about your shots. Really long players can get in trouble here. You'll use every shot in the bag. Bring your A game, if you dont you may leave a little frustrated. Probably the most scenic course around. Even if you dant play its worth the hike, especially in the fall. Hocking College OP has been keeping up with the course management. Some of the holes have been cleared out a little for those who thought this course to be a little too demanding.

Proud to call Hocking College DGC my home course.

The staff at Hocking College has done an excellent job on this course. The current layout is a great improvement over the old 12 hole layout. The only thing the course needs at this point is a little work on the tee pad surface. This is a great technical course with excellent use of elevation. Very nice to have a course of this caliber a half of a mile from my residence.

Its a decent course, but there are some really steep hills to climb and while the scenery is good, there are a lot of trees to contend with. Worth playing, but not my favorite.

This course truly is an epic journey through the hills of southern Ohio. Awesome use of the land! One of the best courses you will ever play in Ohio. HANDS DOWN!

This course is a workout. First 2 and last 3 holes are in the open, the rest follow a path through the woods with lots of elevation changes and tight, technical shots. Several baskets perched on hills with severe drop-offs around them. Long teepads give more challenging lines. Only cons are the natural pads (some of which have gnarly roots/rocks), lack of permanent signs, and lack of direction on a few holes.

Great course! Even without concrete pads it is in the top 5 courses I've played in Ohio. Very technical, you'll need almost every shot in the bag at some point.

Hard to keep the course groomed with all the runoff water but it's still a great course. Not too hard not too easy.

I enjoyed the course. Leave your drivers at home cause you are not going to need them though. This course is still very tough despite the lack of distance.

Very fun short course. Don't have to worry about being to sore after this one. Really nice area. Great for forehand or backhand players. Great beginner course but still challenging enough for everyone to enjoy a day of golf.

Fun shots ! Maybe a bit difficult for less experienced players . DO NOT overthrow any holes , at least 9 holes have major drop-offs behind the basket . Also , if it is wet or raining you dont want to play that day . With natural tees and dirt floor on 85% of the course footing is a joke when wet. Very hilly , this course is a hike , you'll need to rest. All in all if you are a B player or better , you should enjoy this one.

Great course that factors in elevation changes. Need to have a great shot off the tee to bird most holes

Chains are rusted and need replaced. Need to update their course maps. Need some hand railings for the steps. And need tee boxes on some holes and some holes need to be rated par 4s due to elevated baskets.

Very very disappointed with this course especially seeing it was rated so well. If not familiar with area don't bother. Spent almost an hour trying to find hole 1. There are no signs to direct you to the course and no layout map. Once we did find hole one after finding someone to ask...no marking to show tee pad. Threw what we think was hole 1 and where the heck is 2??? Nothing to even flag the direction or a tee pad marking. Big waste of my day to not get to play!!!

Little confusing in the beginning but once you get playing you seem to find the holes a little easier.

Gets a B+ because: a) challenge of some of the green complexes; raised up in many cases with drop-offs lurking everywhere b) the beauty, kind of like a short trip through the Hocking Hills with large boulder grottoes, rock cliffs, and steep ravines with the occasional forest pond c) the technicality, many holes force a sidearm or severe anhyzer and you have to maintain good lines throughout, d) signage, sweet, sweet signage.

Super technical course. Shots through the woods are tight but fair for a rec-level player like me. Bring a spare disc or two if you are not up to scaling down cliffs. Too short even for me. Lack of maintenance is a serious problem as once were stairs are not just muddy slopes when it's wet. Still, I like it.
