>First time played, August 2013)
Review: Course surrounding Athletic fields and in woods, no tee-off pads, bad signage, difficult to find next hole. My rating: 1 out of 10 stars. Very disappointing (course still being worked on)   
Last Played: August 2013

7) Oak Grove, CA
>Played June 2014
Review: Course located in park. Short Course with trees and other obstacles (posts). One hole is over a ravine full of bushes and small trees. Very difficult to find next hole as there are no signs, only numbers in concrete pads that may or may not point to basket. Very disappointing.
From PDGA: "Multi-terrained, oak lined course. World's 1st permanent polehole course. Requires a wide range of shots. #6 is out part of the summer (a summer camp permits that area). The infamous "Spider" hole - a alternate hole - is inserted uphill of 4's fairway while #6 is out."
My rating: 2 out of 10 stars.

8) Churchville, Greater Rochester NY
>First time played July 2014
Review: Shorter holes, moderately wooded, difficult basket placement, easy disc recovery.
Birdies: Hole 3
Best score 64/+10, (par 54) July 2014
Last Played: August 2014
