Pros:

- Large mature trees throughout the park give a lot of shade.
- Tee signs on all tees.
- Multiple basket placement keeps things interesting.
- Active club presence keeps course well kept
- Creek comes into play on holes 1,2 and 4.
- Soccer field by parking lot to warm-up arm on.
- Plenty of parking
- Food trucks occasionally park by practice basket.
- Longmont does a great job with park upkeep.
Cons:
- No course map on site. Bring your own.
- Creek can flow very high and fast at times.
- Distance is really the only challenge here.
- Leaves in the Fall can be an issue.
- No restrooms or water on site.
- Navigation can be an issue.
Other Thoughts:
Full disclosure...this (along with Loomiller) is my home course.
Clark Centennial is a medium (14 acres) sized course in a mature neighborhood with very large trees. As far as parks go, this is one of the nicer places in town.
Clark Centennial and Loomiller are both 9 holes, but many play them together as 18. If you come to play in Longmont, you should really hit both courses since they are so close to each other.
The creek is a great score separator. It can run high and muddy, or low and clear. It's also cold enough to give your feet ice-cream headaches in the spring. Carry a Golden Retriever of other type of retriever when playing here. You'll thank me later.
I listed navigation as a con, but if you bring a map you should have no problems. However, I've lost count of how many times people have asked where the #2 tee is. (north side of creek, east of hole 1).
The big trees drop a LOT of leaves in the fall. If you play here in the fall, bring brightly colored drivers (hot pink), and keep an eye on where you land. It will save you some headaches.
There are multiple bike paths that run through the course, but people mostly use them for transportation instead of recreation, so they move along quickly.
The most vulgar, foul-mouthed kids I've ever heard, play at the small school behind #8's tee pad.
Longs Peak Disc Golf club is very active here, and they do a really good job keeping the course kept up, as well as interesting.
Is this a destination course? Sadly, no. It's a beautiful park, well kept by the City of Longmont, and well cared after by the local club, but it just doesn't have much more than distance for a challenge. But if you are already playing along the Front Range, you should plan a stop in Longmont, and play these two courses.
