As my buddies and I pulled into this beautifully kept up park we were excited, dare I say, eager to pull out the ol discs and play a great round of disc golf. We begin by strolling around the whole park in order to find hole one.

We begin by strolling around the whole park in order to find hole one. We find hole 18 first and contemplate playing the course backward but one of our buddies...... we will call him Jeff.... was fairly certain hole one began on the other side of the park. Mistakingly, we listened to Jeff and walked to the other side of the park. After being drenched in sweat on this hot, humid day we came to realize Jeff was VERY wrong. With the correct signage, we would not have had to listen to Jeff. This is problem one of this course. WHERE DOES IT START!? After searching for another 20 minutes, we found small stakes in the ground that had numbers on them. These were the tee pads. This is problem number two. THERE ARE NO TEE PADS, JUST STAKES WITH NUMBERS. When we finally found stake number one and you guessed it! This is problem number three. YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO THROW YOUR DISC. Yes, there is NOTHING explaining where to throw. There are several pins sprawled throughout the park.... none of them have any numbers. So, you are basically just guessing which pin to throw at. We get to stake number one, which again does not even had a tee pad, you just throw from grass and my second buddy, we will call him FATBOI slips and nearly breaks an ankle throwing. After we played what we thought was hole one with minor injuries, we looked for the customary arrows that every other course has to point you in the correct direction of hole 2. This is problem four. THERE ARE NO ARROWS TO POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. We search and search, mind you FATBOI gotta be at work in about an hour so we are on a time crunch here. We finally find stake two and AGAIN we cannot find where to throw. We just take a guess throw the discs as far as we can and finally through trees and brush towards the woods we see the pin. As if anything could not get worse to buddies and I, Jeff gets a bite which causes his hand to inflame to the point of us having to stop midway through hole 3. You heard me correctly, EVEN THE BUGS DID NOT WANT US TO PLAY THIS COURSE. I am sure I have scared you off enough but just to make the situation worse, as we take another hike back to our cars we see two pins literally a foot from the pond. This is problem five. YOU WILL THROW YOUR DISC IN THE POND IF YOU ACTUALLY TRY TO FINISH THIS COURSE. Please be warned and if you actually have the audacity to go TRY to play this course, you will pull up and remember this review and say "BY GOD THAT DUDE WAS RIGHT." Please be safe and as a precaution, keep yourself and your discs about 10 square miles from this course.
