major disappointment 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 13, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice cement tee boxes
Tee markers are like nothing I have seen before. White and Red markers that are 6x6 black polls with colored metal plaques on them.
A Few memorable holes, including hole #2 with the lake on both sides.
There is a map at the parking lot, you need to study it to find the holes the first time around

Cons:

#1 Con - WHY THE HELL IS #18 1 MILE AWAY FROM THE PARKING LOT. (ok, it is literally 1/2 a mile, but feels like a mile after playing those 18 holes)

The park is not all that great, the area's that make for good holes was only partially used.

Way way way too much distance between several of the holes

Lots of other park users, including fishermen on the course.

Other Thoughts:

I only played the White tee's

Hole 1 starts off promising. Don't overthrow or hyzer out or your in the lake. Nothing like starting the round loosing one of my Destroyers.
Hole 2, scary hole for sure, lake was on both sides of the basket, I wound up with a 4 because it was so windy and I didn't want to loose another disc.
Long walk back up 2's fairway, then over for hole 3. Your basic run of the mill hole with like 1 very small tree right in front of the basket.
then another long walk back up to hole 4, a medium range turnover shot.
Hole 5 was interesting, throw your disc straight down, the basket is behind the last set of trees on the left.
Hole 6 is may be the shortest hole on the course, nothing between you and the basket, 100% ace run on this one.
There is where looking at the map paid off, hole 7 is on the other side of the tree line, simi long walk for a boring hole with a tree stopping you from a run of the mill hyzer shot.
Now a long walk to hole 8 that is shorter than the markers says. It is a basic hyzer shot to the next rounder peninsula. it is a pretty good hole.
#9 across the inlet of the lake. Short and you loose your disc. Not a bad hole.
#10, read the map for the next few holes, it is confusing. 10 is an easy shot to some cedar trees.
#11 tee is actually further back throwing the same direction as 10. Seems to me this hole is backwards from a good flowing course. this is a blind shot, but a simple hyzer parked the hole.
#12 tee box was a little hidden, it is also a blind hyzer shot with the basket in the open area.
Now for a simi long walk back past where you just teed off to find 13's tee box. This is a good anhyzer shot from the White tee. Shule on the right and walking path on the left.
#14 is a longer walk back to the edge of the lake and is a true 2 shot hole (well unless you can throw 500+ ft) Not really that difficult, Just throw a 300 ft shot past the red tee and a 200 ft upshot from there.
#15 is a straight shot you just don't want to hyzer out or turn over. Not long, not a bad hole either.

Then this is where I really got mad at the course. by this time I had forgotten where 16 was, it took me forever to find the tee on the top of a hill running backwards compared to #15. It is a simple hyzer shot, downhill to a blind pin placement. However there were tons of people running around on the hill.

Then you have to walk back, past the red tee box, past #15's basket down the dam separating a pond and the lake to get to #17's tee. Simple longer hole with one patch of brush blocking a normal hyzer shot. Pin is on the side of a hill that makes this hole interesting barely.

Then comes 18, throwing back the other way towards the pond. If you turn your shot over, say goodbye to your disc. I did a simple hyzer shot for the easy bird.

Then I look and see that my Truck is parked all the way on the other side of the lake. It felt like a mile walk, it is the longest walk I have ever had on any disc golf course anywhere.

In all, there were not enough good holes from me to enjoy this course. The flow of this course is horrible. I recommend taking two cars and parking one by 18 and drive back.

I will not be back

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Clean park
-Nice tee pads
-Long and short tee pads
-With the exception of two holes, very beginner friendly

Cons:

-Not very creative shots - most are straight
-Can get very muddy
-Confusing course layout, not sure where to go on about 6 holes
-Very windy; the course borders a pond
-No technical holes
-Every hole is a par 3

Other Thoughts:

-Hole 2 will punish any new players, it is a very thin peninsula, and always windy.
-Not terrible if you live in the city, however it's not worth the drive to play about 10-12 very simple holes, and about 6 decent ones.
