Harke Park is a brand new park so many of the trees haven't grown up yet. So the park is relatively wide open. There are signs. There are no pads. There are nine baskets. They are pretty red/blue Monkey Trap models. I first thought that they were randomly spaced around the park but then I read the course information sheet. It turns out that each basket is 333 feet from the tee. What???? Did the designer only have a 333' tape measure? Does the designer know that golf holes are supposed to be different lengths? This is definitely one of the strangest designs I have ever seen. There is a bright side to this. Since there are no tee pads, how will you know if you're teeing off from the requisite 333 feet. Should you bring a 333 foot tape?

I thought I had solved the mystery of the missing tee pads. I originally thought that the tee pads were the concrete pads next to the benches which are spaced around the walking track that circles the park. That theory worked for maybe the first two holes but then proved false.

A previous reviewer stated that he found these red dots on the ground that he identified as tiny red tee pads. I actually saw one of these red dots and had no idea what it was.

No signs.

No tee pads.

Course is totally flat.

Mostly wide open throws.

Each basket is 333 feet.

Walking path is often busy.

The Big Nine Course is a poster boy for what not to do when designing and constructing a disc golf course. Other than being flat, this is actually a pretty fair park for a disc golf course. However, this course was built without signs and tee pads and then you add on the ridiculous idea of making each hole the exact same length. The end result is a below average course.
