Course Review: Baker Farm
Ah, my home course. What can I say? If you’re in the Rochester area, be sure to hit up this ex-farm turned course! Beautifully manicured fairways, tough basket placements and a mixture of very long and short holes makes for a very enjoyable experience at Baker Farm!
The course is set up in a great flowing links style. The flow between each hole seems very natural, never leaving the player second guessing the next tee location.
Every type of player can enjoy this course. Cannon arms will enjoy the frequent holes over 500 feet, and short game golfers will get a good midrange test.
Feel like throwing a huge hyzer? Go for it. A roller? Go for it. Big turnover drive? Absolutely. This course will allow you to happily throw every shot in your bag!
Pros:
-Beautifully manicured course
-Fair tee placements
-Nice mix of longer and shorter holes
-Perfect use of old farm equipment
-Very active, friendly disc golf community
-Annual Chili Bowl!
Cons:
-Besides a small river on 2 holes, no water hazards
-A few broken benches
-After a good rain the course can stay wet for a while
Signature Holes:
-#11 A huge ~900ft hole. Enjoy it, big arms!
-#1 A personal favorite with huge birdie potential
Conclusion:
If you are in the Rochester area, this is one of the big three to play, the others being Ellison Park and the Parma course. Locals are spoiled by this beautiful links style course. This course can really teach you how to play the game. I know it did for me!
Final Rating:
4/5
