Pros:

Corbin Park has a sweet variety of shots and you will need multiple shot shapes in your arsenal to score well here.
The woods provide some cool lines to shape shots and the first 5 holes use the present elevation and rock formation very well to provide the thrower with a nice challenge.
Multiple tees and basket locations to keep things from getting stale.
The tee pads are ample and the signage is adequate providing you will everything you need.
There are a couple of elevated tees, but the elevation isn't too extreme.
Beautiful views of the Spokane River and Hole 5 is a nice RHBH hyzer shot close to the river with the basket sunken down and protect by a huge rock formation.
Friendly locals and the elevated basket on Hole 10 add a nice touch here.

Cons:

There are several crisscrossingcf fairways or fairways that are close to each other: 8/11/12, 4/15/16/7. You will need to pay attention where you are throwing and who is throwing around you.
Back tracking on from 9's basket to 10's tee, 13's basket back up the hill to 14's tee, and long walks from 7's basket to 8's tee, and 14's basket to 15's tee, slow the flow of the round down. It is kind of unavoidable in some spots but is what it is.
Hole 1's basket is really close to the parking lot so please be careful.
The rocks could be slick depending on the time of year you play, conditions, etc., so wearing the proper footwear would be a bonus.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I really enjoyed this course. It had everything I look for in a quality course, woods, elevation, water threat, scenic views, etc.
Although crowded on space in the interior holes it really is a fun course to play. I was only able to play 2 courses in Idaho on my most recent trip to the NW, and this was my favorite of the 2.
This is a course that will challenge you but not frustrate. Even when you are in the rough, there is still a line to get out and get your par.
The rocks make give this course character and its a must play if you are in the area. I for one will be playing this course again, if I am able to make it back to the area. I really enjoyed my round here, and I'm sure you will too.

Fun shorter course, awesome views. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 11, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Beautiful scenery along the Spokane River with Holes #1, #2, #5, #8 and #9 all playing along the water with excellent scenery and wildlife.
- Clearly marked tee pads have informative signs with arrows on them indicating the direction of the next tee pad and the concrete tee pads on every hole are flat and in good shape.
- The look of the course in fall/winter is exceptional and there are some great individual holes here.
- Lots of areas to start a round from if it's busy, can Park near hole #1 and start from holes #1, #2 and #4 easily. Can also park near hole #8 and start from #8 or #12, a few parking spaces near hole #5/#6 as well.

Cons:

Layout issues:
- Hole #5 isn't intuitive to find for first timers, it's the number one question I get asked especially if I'm near hole #4 or #6 by someone new to the course. Some locals skip hole #5 entirely because of the lost disc possibility and hole #6 tee pad is right near #4 basket.
- The walk from hole #7 to #8 is another less intuitive design, as you walk across the back of a baseball field and across the road.
- There are crossed paths on some holes, you walk in front of the basket of #12 to get to #11 tee pad. Hole #14 basket is in a blind over-throw spot for hole #7 drives so keep your head on a swivel and pay attention.

Congestion issues:
- Public park with limited parking, in summer hole #1 has had people park directly in the middle of the fairway thinking it's "overflow" area but it is not.
- Many people oblivious to disc golf at times, photographers and fishermen will occasionally show up on holes near the river and not know they're in the playing line.

Some people complain the old layout was better and dislike the current layout, don't listen to them, it had to be done. Old hole #1 could be entirely under water in the spring if the river got high enough.

Other Thoughts:

I've played hundreds of rounds here on the "updated layout" which has changed a few times over the years, I believe the current layout has been in place since 2017, it's a great mid/putter practice course and course for players of every skill level. Bring a retriever if the river water level is up, discs going in the water is very possible on holes #1, #2, #5, #8 and #9. The park lost hundreds of trees to bark beetles in 2017 and you can still see remnants of a lot of the stumps, especially near #8 and #9.

Note: For the reviews that mention that hole #5 should always be in place, I'd love that too since hole #5 is a wonderful hole but the beach area there gets so many recreational people and swimmers at certain times in the summer it would be unsafe to throw there, and #18b is an awesome little hole IMO, it is similar to the old layout of hole #13. For #18b go up the hill past the practice basket and play from the pad up there down to the practice basket.

Corbin Redesign Is A Hit In My Book! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 24, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Since my previous review of Corbin was from 2008, I'm not sure if I would be a good source to comment about the redesign of the course. Seeing that was 1000 courses ago, I really don't remember the previous layout. What I do know is (1) this is one of the prettiest courses anywhere and (2) Corbin DGC is great fun.

On a lovely August day the course was filled with players enjoying the great weather, the course and the beauty of the place. I'm disappointed in Corbin's current rating of 2.63 as I like it it a lot more than that.

Everything is done right. The signs are great, they're pretty and they provide you with all the information you need. The concrete tee pads are more than adequate. The course is a little bit convoluted as it snakes around the park, crossing streets. But between just following the hordes and Udisc, no problem. The Discatchers aren't new but they catch everything they are supposed to catch. The terrain is so very cool with lots of elevation to throw off, the inviting nearby and all the majestic rock formations.

Among my favorite holes here are # 3 seriously cool tee pad area, the # 9 hole with the river next to you and 13 and 14 which are both great little downhills.

I'm sure that I wasn't the first player to discover energy saving feature but throwing both 13 and 14 at the same time on makes sense. That way, you don't have to trudge back up the hill again. I did the same thing on 15 & 17 as there was no one ahead of me. Saves time, too.

Cons:

Did I miss something or is there no way to distinguish which position the basket is in, A or B?

# 5 is closed for the summer. Too bad.

Having to wait for players to walk back after playing # 9.

No place to air out those big arms. Plays as a lovely recreational level.

Other Thoughts:

I would absolutely love to have this course as my home course. It's so scenic and the Spokane River is so inviting. Although the distances are short, the technical nature of the course adds to the challenge. It's fairly hard to lose a disc here. Corbin is much better than it's 2.63 rating. And could I import this summer weather, too.

3.5 all day.

On the bad news front. A couple of locals informed me that this course will closing it's door sometime as a RV campground is forthcoming. According to their intell, the course will be moved to another location close by. It sounds like it will have the same natural beauty but that's still a lot of planning to work to do.
