Good Area For a DGC 2+ years

Pros:
This is a great addition to this area. Really nice views and great hiking.
Mostly wooded; but the open holes are fun. One long downhill throw is a good one to test your distance without bad consequences. Baskets are nice and it's simple finding the next tee.

Cons:
I played in October, so the course was not maintained at all. It was pretty swampy in the open fields (would be better in the summer). There were logs in the path. I feel this was added and then forgotten about by the parks department. Needs better upkeep.
Other Thoughts:
I think this location has great potential for expanding to 18 holes. Its a nice area. If the park would invest in upkeep for the holes in the wooded areas, and cut the grass regularly in some of the early holes; this is a great course for summer play. Play some disc, then go for a swim in the lake.

Pros:
First off I did not play, I just walked the course to hole 3!!!! Rating is based on tee off confusion and what was observed walking by #9 t-pad.
I have played disc golf since 1989, I have seen them all.
This course is not finished or cleaned up. Please take this into consideration when reading this, please.
The number one thing I see is the teepad for 1, it must be on the walkway and has no markings for infractions. There are no numbers on the baskets, which is a must for newbies!!!!! There are no hole layout diagrams so take a photo on your cell phone to navigate. This course has a lot of anhyzer shots from what I saw. By the time I got to t-pad 4 I just went home, it was windy and muddy. Hole 9 is a handbreaker, you are up against a fence and the walkway/T-pad is unmarked, again. It seems to be the t-pad anyway. This probably bothered me the most!!!!!!. Just lose 15 feet and walk to the end of the fence and walkway, you will save your hand!!!! The signs for the T-pads are nice and easy to see in the late winter/early spring. There is a beautiful map and information sign at he beginning of the course. Go all the way to the end of the tailwater recreation area and you will see the baskets.

Cons:
#1 to #2 you are walking directly into and on top of #9 t-pad.....WTH was that!!!!
Not knowing where to be to t off on #1 and immediately walking onto #9 t pad/fairway to get to #2' t-pad gave me the initial feeling of a poor design and made me feel it was not worth the effort today.

Other Thoughts:
#1; tee of sidewalk, I guess, throw to basket toward/close to spillway.
#2 throw up to obvious fairway, from that point it is a conventional shot, basket is at end of that fairways opening on left.
#3 Basket is hidden in the woods to left of the new bridge, just land by the bridge, as getting thru that line of trees seems very difficult, another thing that needs to be fixed. I can play like that in any ole woods. I went home. This course does not seem finished but appears to have some exciting potential!!!!
