Pros:

~Easy flow within a tight park
~Baskets are clean and easy to spot
~Quick 9 good for a warm up round
~Don't need to carry more than a few discs

Cons:

~Tee area toe boards can be tough to locate in a few locations
~Lack of signage
~Small city multi-use park provides for a cramped course
~No real reason to seek out this course

Other Thoughts:

I'm glad to see a course within the City of Akron, but this is located atop a hill in the Kenmore neighborhood within a very small park. If the land was for walking and disc golf only I could understand it's purpose but it winds it's way throughout a small parcel with playground equipment, a pavilion, and bordered by houses and city streets.

Truly a beginner style layout, anyone with a few years under their belt will be fine with a few discs under speed 5. Overall the holes are solid, and the attempt to capture imaginative features of the landscape are there, but it doesn't work all that well. We had no problem navigating thanks to Udisc, but most of the toeboards are grown over and there is no course map in the kiosk by the parking lot.

I visited this course mid morning to warm up before heading out for more course exploration. It was OK throwing putters and mids off the tee and did the trick, but all in all it's not a course I'd visit again. There's just nothing there for where it's located to want to come back.
