Why have I waited so long to come play here. Maybe because it's at a church.. hmm... nope, but…read moredon't let that fool you! I always heard it was a very short course so I wasn't really interested in playing here, until a friend moved to within a mile of this place and I wanted to check it out. This is a nice course which has some nice challenges for the beginner to intermediate player. If you're looking for a bigger challenge, go play Simsbury Park a few miles away. About 1/3 of the holes are under 200 ft, another 1/3 are about 200-300 ft, and the final 1/3 are over 300 ft. I'm not sure what it's like playing here during the spring/summer. There's what looks like corn fields along some of holes, wouldn't want to throw in there. Stay clear of any thorn bushes on the outside edges, they be very dense and pokey :)

Parking: This location has plenty of parking lots…read moresurrounding the lake. Easy to access and seem moderately safe. I have never had an issue finding a spot. 5 stars. Water: I've never gotten in the water, so I can't judge this.. not a fan of lake water. Dam: Cool place to come for an easy outdoor walk to unwind and relax or to workout (many people run the steps up and down the dam). Everything here is free. Other: There is a frisbee golf course that people were actively using while I was there. There is a lot of easy hiking trails and scenery to enjoy. Conclusion: This is a good place to come with a family or friends. Get outside and have a picnic, go fishing, boating, take a hike, or play frisbee golf. It does get cold here in fall/winter as the wind comes off the lake, so wear a coat. I'm tired of the cold, debating running away to Mexico.

Trash receptacles and benches at every other hole, with pro and regular tees for most. Some long shots with gorgeous views of open grass/prairie and short technical shots in the woods. Users of the course seem to be good about using the honor system to pay $2/round and picking up their own trash. VERY nice and clean portapotty at the lot - course is mowed regularly. Help keep it that way and pay :) We call this course "church" because it is the most peaceful/inspiring way I can imagine to spend our Sunday mornings. We've met nothing but good people out there!

Lot of trails (though not QUITE as well-marked as this directionally "challenged" hiker might like!!) and there's also a nice nature center, full of great displays, and apparently, some interesting community events (and great restrooms!!). I parked near the nature center, got my bearings, and decided to hike the shorter orange and yellow trails, which looped me around back to where I started in the parking lot area. Beautiful, lots to see, "somewhat" well-marked, but I made it out, so very do-able!! I wanted to also take the "Lake Trail," but didn't realize at first that it was the paved trail that started at the Nature Center. Once I realized I was heading in the right direction, it was a quick, easy trek to the two observation "shacks" on the shores of the park's beautiful Thoreau Lake. DON'T skip this short, scenic hike... Well worth the trip!! Blendon Woods (and all the other Metro Parks in the region) is a GREAT place for a day (or more...) in nature. Picnic pavilions, playgrounds, educational programs at the nature center, lots of trails... Definitely a four season GEM!! Check it out!!

Here's a tip: Stretch before you play here…read more One of the longest and more challenging courses in central Ohio. Par 3's and 5's force you to play smart. Great views and you may have an occasional horse trot through from the paths through the woods. The first time you play it might help to go with someone who knows the layout of the course as there are no signs pointing you to the next hole. Some holes are a good walk through the woods and you won't find them without some sort of map or guide (which I have not found yet.) Luckily I played with my cousin who's been there before, but I would still be out there if I went my myself. I can't wait to take my sons out there and play again. Photo is of the Updated sign and new parking area.

Pros: + This course is a great challenge…read more + Play it in the Spring or Fall to get used to it. In the Summer once things grow in, you'll have a hard time finding a disc if you throw in the woods. but the fairways are very wide, think like football field wide, except for the 7-9 which play in the woods. + This course is not as technical as others, but requires throwing good distances. One of my favorites by far. + They have concrete pads on all holes + The pro tees are very fun to play on for a great challenge. + The course isn't really crowded, but more and more people are going out to check it out and it's getting more popular. Cons: Not too many... - It's a drive for many people, but well worth it, for the minimal amount of time it will take to get there if you usually play around Columbus. - The Summer months are more challenging, due to the growth. - Prepare to do some hiking! - The parking lot is small, but usually not a problem, because not too many people go out there. - If you don't know the layout, going from hole 3 to 4 is kind on hidden and can be confusing. Just get the layout and you'll be fine.

DISC GOLF / SHORTER COURSE / GOOD TECHNICAL HOLES. …read more Of all the Courses we've played, Whitehall YMCA is our Favorite. While there aren't any extra long holes (Average is about 260 feet). Even so, the scattering of trees and a couple of ingenious hole set ups make this 9-hole course a treat. What's more is that each hole has a long and short basket, offering 18 different hole combinations - as well as handicapped holes when you have two different.skill sets in your group. . What we like more is the convenience of well-placed tee boxes, which usually sit less than 50 feet from the previous hole/basket. . Lastly, the course is maintained by YMCA, which means manicured fairways, most with a lawn that is just long enough for clover - and avoids treadwear from excessive foot traffic. . The only issue with the Courses is that if you do decide to play 18 holes, you'll be climbing a long set of stairs at the end of each 9 holes. Still, this is our Favorite Eastside course - and by far.

Hole 1 and 10 start at the same pad, but 10 is longer and more trees come into play. Hole 4 is fun. The first pic I added shows it: par 3, 203, through the trees and straight away but downhill. Fun. Hole 5 has the mozzarella sticks (logs) sticking up as obstacles through the course. It's the easiest to birdie on the course. 6 and 7 are in the woods, 6 is the furthest and then 7 will bring you back to the path. I had logs near the pins and #9 is in the field heading to the hill. You'll walk back up the 43 steps you came down earlier to get to #10. Easy parking in the YMCA lot. We'll done Whitehall, nice little course.

There's a nice size parking lot at the base of the water tower, you can't miss it from the road. There are long and short tees to choose from all through the course- and some holes are quite a challenge of you're new to disc golf. Now, to the details: There are concrete pads to shoot from Mach III baskets Markers to show you how the hole is laid out The course is Dog friendly There IS a restroom and a drink machine in the small pavilion on-site. 18 holes, and most holes have arrows to point you to the next hole, but UDisc is a good tool to use to get you to the next hole. When you compare it to other courses in the city, like Hambrick (Hoover) this is significantly better maintained. There are flat holes, wooded holes, bushes and HILLS. The final 2 holes are uphill, and a fun challenge. Beginner or pro, you won't be disappointed spending an hour or so at this course.

But anyways, that did not deter me, but the course does play along a few RV camping sites. Park at the camp store and hole #1 is up the stairs on the back side of the bldg. Hole #10 is across the street from the store, in the woods. Great challenge of holes. Some really long ones and not many short ones. Most averaged between 250-300 ft. I really liked some of the elevation changes and the general layout and use of the land. Definitely worth stopping here if you are close by or on your way thru the area.

Take a photo of the course with your phone before you start so you can easily find the next tee. (That will help on 15.) The first half of the course is wide open and long, but there are a few tricks to learn. When the signs say there is a "drop off" they actually mean cliff! A slight over correction or hook will land you 75 feet down a steep hill before your disc even begins to roll. The back 9 are in the woods- so add trees to the distance and a nice hike on the way. In the fall the back 9 will play easier, but in spring and summer you'll fight the leaves on the trees. Par here is 63, just 1 under the much shorter course at Blendon Woods just across 161. Both courses are Fun- but Hoover is a challenge. One you'll enjoy taking. ***Note*** if you put the address into google or maps it will bring you to the middle of the course- not the start. Take Central College and a left onto Cubbage, then take the first left. Follow it to the parking lot just before the dam then you'll be set.

Pros: + This course is a good challenge from pro's and normal tees. + It's well taken care of + There are some good long throwing hole and technical holes. + A & B pin placements with regular and pro tees. + Hosts several tournaments each year + 27 holes to play + The front nine is open, and the back nine is wooded, and the back back nine (A-I) is a mixture of both. Cons: - Gets crowded when the weather is nice, and I've noticed large groups play (more than 4 people) - Parking can be a problem on the weekends. It gets very busy at those times. Park near the entrance and start at hole 10, park in the main lot, for hole 1, or park in the back or main lot for hole A. The back back 9 (A-I) aren't usually that busy. Other Thoughts: Most people I know start hole A after they play 14 and then continue on to 15 after hole I, but play it as you see fit. To get to hole 15 from 14 walk through the pine tree forest, to find A, continue forward towards the road, the pro tee is on the left and the regular tee is around to the right.
