What is Rothwell Park West - The Woods like?
Located in Moberly, Rothwell Park West - The Woods is part of a Missouri disc golf scene that now runs to 188 registered courses. Across 6,840 ft the course fits 18 holes at par 54, which works out to around 380 feet per hole. That is long enough that you will want a driver you can actually control off the tee.
The terrain is wooded/hilly — wooded fairways with real elevation change, which puts the emphasis on shot shaping in three dimensions. Elevation compounds every mistake: an uphill approach plays longer than the sign says, and a downhill tee shot carries much further than expected.

Play the shorter tees if they exist. Most groups finish in about 110 minutes, though a busy weekend morning can add half an hour of waiting on the tee.
