Iron Hill

I really struggled with this rating (between A and A+) and gave it an A only because I know the people who are working on the course are not yet done.I have yet to play a course that is simultaneously as pleasing to the eye on each tee shot as it is punishing to the score if that shot is not accomplished.Even more intriguing is that it is still fun to play when those errant tee shots go where they will.If you are a fan of big open courses do not play here.That said the fairways are wide enough t ...

I really struggled with this rating (between A and A+) and gave it an A only because I know the people who are working on the course are not yet done.I have yet to play a course that is simultaneously as pleasing to the eye on each tee shot as it is punishing to the score if that shot is not accomplished.Even more intriguing is that it is still fun to play when those errant tee shots go where they will.If you are a fan of big open courses do not play here.That said the fairways are wide enough to invite a big hyzer but you had better hit it right on.There are two baskets on all but a handful of holes and many have forward tee boxes so a less accomplished player can get in a round without feeling overwhelmed.It is not a course that I would recommend to begining or casual players.At 55 years of age i know I will never come close to shooting a par round from the long concrete tee's to the long baskets but this isthe layout I enjoy playing the most.

Iron Hill is my 3rd favorite course, but that's only because I'm a homer and I love Sedgley Woods in Philly and Hickory Hills in Traverse City. I love them, but they don't have the level of challenge of Iron Hill. What Jimi said. It's 10,000' of disc golf challenge that has the only true golf course layout I've played with discs. (No, I haven't played Nockamixon or Sankanac or any of the newer courses.) My traveling days were the 1990's where every course was a par 3 pitch-and-putt, even for ...

Iron Hill (Gold-to-gold) is still the only course I know with a true par 72 layout. Bring your "A" game or get bested by the course. Don't whine. If it were easy, then everyone would do it. The beauty of the game is you're playing against yourself. Hit the fairway from the tee and you've done your job. Don't hit the fairway and you're hating life. That's golf. Get over it and have fun with it. The best part of Iron Hill is being clean off the tee is primary, but only 1/3 of the game. You still have to approach and then putt. That's how golf is meant to be.
