Sabattus Disc Golf - Eagle

Classic must-play course of risk/reward. Dropdead gorgeous layout — tees, signage, practice area, shop, elevation, hole design, baskets are all A++. Holes have higher pars from an earlier era. Playing blind was very challenging — unclear fairways/landing zones and even some hidden water on hole 3. It seems like a course you quickly learn to attack aggressively. I only had 4 discs (US putter, neutral mid, US driver, OS driver) with me I picked up on the trip but even that felt like enough to have a chance at birdie/eagle on every hole (if I was better I would have!). I would suggest a rethink of the signage — it is plentiful but was not effective to explain where the baskets or fairways or hazards were. Par 4/5’s could use a stripped pole with the hole number for the landing zones like ball golf to avoid playing the wrong gap. Obviously the pars are inflated but they are always subjective and the goal is to get the fewest strokes not to “beat par”. It shares tees with Falcon and got very hard to busy with varied skill levels around noon on a nice October day. Also saw someone get stretcher’ed out (hope they are ok) so be careful with your footing!
