The Mountwood Monster

Played this course for the first time recently. All I can say is "Wow! What a challenge!" WV disc golf at its finest. The Mountwood tourney was about a month ago and we have had little rain so the course was in fantastic shape and many of the OB markers were still in place. Couple of pro-style par fours and an overall physical challenge that most courses simply cannot match. I used every shot in my bag and am excited to have another go next week. Fair warning!

Played this course for the first time recently. All I can say is "Wow! What a challenge!" WV disc golf at its finest. The Mountwood tourney was about a month ago and we have had little rain so the course was in fantastic shape and many of the OB markers were still in place. Couple of pro-style par fours and an overall physical challenge that most courses simply cannot match. I used every shot in my bag and am excited to have another go next week. Fair warning! Be careful not to throw into some of the gullies...you will pay for it. Also, I played with a friend who knew the course well. I might have had trouble finding some tees if not. Well worth the time to travel out to the park, especially since there are other highly-rated courses relatively nearby, like Wood County Veterans Memorial, Ohio Valley University and Forked Run State Park. As others have noted, the park and hills are gorgeous, an added bonus. Go with a friend who knows course if possible, could be frustrating due to lack of signs.

The only reason saving this course from an F is the front 9 is actually not bad, aside from the horrible signage and tee boxes, or lack thereof. Probably the worst signs/tees ive played. You cant even see the first tee box, save for a peice of rotten wood that is almost covered over with dirt. The signs are either mussing or layin beside the tee box or crudely affixed to rotten branches/logs. As I said, the first half of the course doesnt play too bad...nice scenery and some sweet, but playable, ...

The only reason saving this course from an F is the front 9 is actually not bad, aside from the horrible signage and tee boxes, or lack thereof. Probably the worst signs/tees ive played. You cant even see the first tee box, save for a peice of rotten wood that is almost covered over with dirt. The signs are either mussing or layin beside the tee box or crudely affixed to rotten branches/logs. As I said, the first half of the course doesnt play too bad...nice scenery and some sweet, but playable, elevation changes. Then the course goes downhill after that. You have to wade thru a creek to get to the basket at 9 or 10. The transition from
11 basket to 12 tee box is the worst flow ive seen. I liked to never found it. The course as a whole is not kept up at all. Some holes looked as if basket were placed in the middle of the woods and no trimming or paths made. Big disappointment. If you live close, the front 9 is worth playing, but other than that dont waste your time. Way WAY too many other good courses close by, such as Wood County Vet.
