gibbous says "This is my second year playing and I'm a local so this is pretty much the only course I go to. We have another course here in Findlay, Ohio but it's 18 holes and a lot of woods and my game just isn't ...morethere yet.

Firestine is a par 28, 9 hole course with one par 4 and the rest par 3. I would say it's pretty beginner friendly, but if you're just starting out and like to power your drives pretty hard, it's easy to put a disc in the water on a few of the holes. Sometimes the water is crystal clear and you can jump in to fetch your disc. Other times, it stays murky for days and there's no hoping of finding your disc. If you put one in and can't find it, hopefully you have your name and number on your disc. Your chance of getting it back is 50/50 as there is a local family that walks the water and collects disc and calls people to pick them up, but there are also a lot of local kids that just keep the discs.

Holes 1 and 2 have some trees to contend with, but aren't too bad to navigate.

Hole 3 used to have a batch of trees directly in front of tee about 50 to 60' feet out, but they've since removed them and replanted new ones else where so this hole is now pretty wide open.

Hole 4 has 2 trees, one up by the basket about 30 to 40' feet in front of it and one 80 to 100' feet from the tee. They're easy enough to get around if you have control.

Hole 5 is wide open and easily my favorite whole to throw. There is a nice row of trees in line with the bask running perpendicular to the tee so there is plenty to stop you from overthrowing the basket on a drive.

Hole's 6 and 7 both have you teeing off throwing directly into the direction of the water. Hole 6 has plenty of tree's to stop you from putting one in, however hole 7 can easily be overthrown or hooked into the water if you're not careful.

Hole 8 is the par 4 with 2 trees to contend with close to the basket, but once you get around those it's smooth sailing.

Hole 9 is then completing the course ending up pretty close to the hole 2 tee off. There are some trees on the right as well as the playground and water to the left, but there is plenty of open space if you can throw stable and flat.

Overall, I like the course and usually run it twice when I go out to get 18 holes in. As a 2 year player who still hasn't found his form or consistency, I usually end up anywhere from 1 to 5 over par so I'd say as a beginner course it's decently challenging. Seasoned players may want to stop out on their way to Findlay's other course (Riverbend), but Firestine would probably not be worth a trip if you're not a local....less"
