mrhoversten923 says "I have made the hour drive to Dover twice now and I can honestly say this is the best course I have ever played and I have played several in 3 different states. I play most holes from the white tee (...moreintermediate) so that is what I am commenting on unless specified otherwise. Lots to talk about so here goes:

The Course:
18 challenging holes in a picturesque setting. A real nice pond, very well maintained park, lots of nice trees, a swimming pool (with tons of amazing looking girls by the way), rolling hills, and most importantly, amazing signs on each hole. Each sign has a picture of what you see standing on the tee with an arrow pointing to the basket. All obstacles, every tree, is accounted for on the sign with distance clearly marked. Each hole has 2 or 3 tees to throw from.

The Holes:
Hole 1: {Par 5 on white/blue} The red tee (beginner) is about 450' but beginner or not, you have to throw from the white (intermediate) or blue (pro) tees. I throw from the white tees which on hole 1 is 802'. I didnt even see the blue tee to your left in the back corner but I played that in my 2nd round, an amazing 976' par 5 which I am proud to say I parred. Even if you are a beginner, you have to play from the white tee on this hole just to say you played an 800+' hole. Also, you cant see the basket from the tees (any of them) so there is a big arrow on a yellow sign which is attached to the basket's pole pointing right at the basket. Look across the field, you cant miss it. Also, dont miss left on this hole. The closer you can stay to the road (without being on the road, its OB) the better. If you miss left and have to go down the hill, the rest of your throws are uphill so your normal 300' throws only go 220'. Not good on an 800' hole.

Hole 2: {Par 3} I am still trying to figure out the best way to tee this hole off. I birdied it from the red tee the other day but the hole is at the bottom of a hugely steep hill, straight down. If you throw hard, the disc flies right by, if you throw soft, it hooks left too hard. I threw a forehand softly but it went way right and it took a miracle putt from behind a bush to get my birdie.

Hole 3: {par 3} A challenging hole because if your disc sails left you will be on the road, thus out-of-bounds. Keep your disc right and you are fine. Very difficult to get in 3 from the blue tee. A good drive will give you a birdie from the red tee.

Hole 4: One of the most scenic holes with the epicenter of the park, a walkway, pond, fountain, trees, and incredibly frustrating. Again, throwing downhill so your disc will go more left than usual as it will be in the air longer. Well protected basket, surrounded by trees and a small mound that hides it.

Hole 5: Challenging downhill, right to left hole. Little difficult because it is right along a parking area and pavillion and I am always throwing conservative because I dont want to risk hitting anyone.

Hole 6: Cant find the white tee for this hole. Blue hole is extremely challenging, red hole is way up in the woods, not too challenging from there but very much an uphill shot.

Hole 7: The biggest challenge if you throw from any tee but red. You are completely lined with trees on your right and left. To your left, if your disc fades too much left, is a huge dropoff which will make it impossible to save par. If you are fortunate enough to have a drive that clears all the trees and fades into the clearing where the basket is, you have to pray your disc doesnt roll down the huge hill. My friend had a drive that landed 25 ft from the basket, his putt hit the chains and ended up more than 100 ft from the basket because it rolled down the hill.

Hole 8: Very challenging hole. Slightly downhill, fairly straight but trees everywhere. Par is good here.

Hole 9: If you can throw a forehand, you can birdie this hole. A good distance, about 320ft if i remember correctly, where the path is straight and then at the end hooks right. Dont miss right because the woods are thick and there is poison ivy and prickers.

Hole 10: A long, beautiful drive from the blue tee. In addition, the blue tee is right next to the pool. And I dont know what is in the water in Dover, but the girls are incredible. You will get checked out so enjoy. :)

The rest: An insanely long, diagonal across a huge rolling hills par 5 that is more than 800'. The next hole is called "Top of the World". It is a 600' par 3 which sounds insane but you are throwing from the top of a mountain basically. Its worth the drive just to watch your disc soar for what seems an eternity. Little tip though...throw your straightest disc, even if its a putter. If your disc hooks left, you wont get to watch it fly because there are a lot of trees to your left and right. Hole 17 is a straight shot, about 250' with a 15' wide path through trees. A great challenge....less"

twiztidtommy29 says "ive only been there a hand full of time so i can only say, it would'nt be a bad idea the have a somewhat of an arm to play there"

baddnuz says "They sure pulled out all the stops when they created this course. This is the nicest course I have seen. The city keeps this park in great condition. This course could serve as a model for future cour...moreses. As mentioned in previous reviews, it really does have something for everyone. The red (short) tees are fun but you get to experience more of the course playing the white (middle) ones....less"

poolgators32 says "It is tough and look good one."

tucsonnative says "This is the first and only course I have played so far. Very difficult for a beginner. Really nice though. Family friendly with lots of woods and a pond."

billgod says "If you are new you got the red tee's to play from. if you have 1 heck of an arm you got the white.. if you are a pro you have the blue tee's. this is the most challenging course I have played. #6 u...more-turn is insane and #1 800+ft with the right side down a hill will wear you out. If you like long shots, technical shots and shots that make you laugh trying to figure out how.. this is the place to go....less"

dizzydevo says "Even from playing just the red tee's I was challenged from the word go. It provides a great learning challenge for the beginner and is clearly marked with navigation signs you can see and they point i...moren the right direction. We will see over time if these withstand the test. I would like to see cement tee pads installed as that would put the icing on the cake.

The Course offers 3 tee's for each hole Red novice, White Advanced, Blue Pro so pick your poison and be prepared to have fun. Major elevation changes and open fields with good tree lines along the fairways give way to a good workout while playing. Deis Hill Park has a good family atmosphere so bring the kids. Being newly installed in '07 it will be the one to pave the way for bigger courses to come....less"

gero says "what a course, every shot in the bag . hiking around this course requires good placement just to save your energy."

deishillgolfer says "Deis hill is one of the bes courses in the state. And, it just so happens i live in DOVER right beside it."

manawski says "This course has been accurately described as a mix between Lincoln Park in Massilon and Arboretum-Spiker in Canton. There are several long holes, and equally as many tough technical holes that will ha...moreve you driving straight into a tree at max velocity if you don't bring your A game. Playing this course will make your score at Spiker drop significantly.

The course is brand new... the grass hasn't even grown into the pole holes yet. The grass is well kept, as the course winds through the only park in Dover. The park crew has done a very good job of clearing a lot of the big brush around the holes, but there is still a great deal of low brush in the trees that needs to be beaten down. There's quite a bit of poison ivy as well, so be on the lookout. There are at least two water fountains on the course, and there is a well kept restroom at the top of the big hill.

This is a course you must play if you're in the NE Ohio area. Oh, also, there are no crowds. You will often find yourself as the only person on the course....less"

dankilgore says "I was on the design team. And given the land that we we're allowed to use, I think we did a pretty darn good job in making it fair and challenging to all skill levels [as their are 3 sets of tees, som...moree only 2. ]

holes #12 and #13 are being changed to accomadate some safety and property issues as of 9/4/07.

This park offers the kind of land that most of us Disc Golfers dream of having a course laid out in. Very steep rolling hills, long holes, fast greens, and a couple of holes to where you might opt to empty your bag.

Watch your speed when traveling through Dover as the police are pretty strict.

I believe that in due time this course will be one of most everyone's top favorites. The park director is very Disc Golf friendly and wants this course to work. ( remember Disc Golfers you are a guests at these parks and should try to be on your best behavior. Pack out your garbage and keep this course looking beautifull)...less"

thadon says "Some of the longest holes I've seen. Well over 9,000 feet of disc golf . Alot of hyzers and uphill shots. Offer 3 tees for just about each hole. There is nice little pond , and public pool along t...morehe course. I've now played the majority of the NE ohio courses, and i must this park is probably the most quite and peaceful. Drop the kids off @ the pool and go play!...less"

gemarsh says "Tricky lies make this course very challenging. 900ft. + holes f you like to grip & rip, to nice wooded holes (may be getting another soon). Uphill shots & downhill shots, will test you."
