Growing the Sport! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 27, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Located in a nice, multi-purpose city park. Wonderful addition to an already bustling and active park.
- Great new baskets.
- Actually decent use of elevation available on the course, which I was not at all expecting.
- Decent variety in length, perfect for beginner/rec disc golf.
- Basic signage with Hole # and distance. All that's required.
- #3 plays up a 15' hill to a blind basket - good addition.
- #4 drives back down that same hill around a large tree. Good use (minus requiring a typical big hyzer)
- I liked how #9 tee is positioned to bring a large, low hanging branch from the nearby tree into play.

Cons:

- Essentially no shot-shaping required on the course. Most drive shapes are available to you on each hole.
- Certainly a lot of possible traffic in and around the course. It mostly stays away, aside from #6 which crosses a few paths.
- The course itself doubles over and crosses up in many places. So long as the players are sparse, as I would imagine is mostly the case, no problem.
- The walk from 6 to 7 is quite long and confusing, even after studying the kiosk map (which only shows baskets, not tees). Map on DGCR shows more. There is a directional sign after 6's basket, but it only shows you which way to walk...you just don't know how far to go, or which side of the road to be looking.

Other Thoughts:

- Grass tees are sufficient, probably no real need to install concrete pads unless the volume of play dictates as such. Money was spent on signage first, correctly.
- Decent city park 9-holers are how we grow knowledge of the sport. Even if kids just play a few times in their youth, it may always be something they come back to in High School or College, like so many of us!

Sweet little course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 3, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

A nice beginner course to show local non-players the sport.
Especially in this area of the state.
New Discraft baskets, good tee signs with basic info.
Rolling terrain on a some holes, cut grassy fairways, little underbrush.
Good mix of holes distances.

Cons:

No concrete tees, yet?
I didn't see a kiosk. Could be there with all info. for non DG'er. Read below.
A map added here, under links/files, would be nice.
Plays around other park amenities. COULD be a issue depending on level of player.

Other Thoughts:

To be perfectly honest, I pulled up Friday Evening and the town was using the area by the ball park as a staging place for a Parade, Homecoming I believe. So, with floats and 50/60 cars parked in the area I could see most baskets in that area. But, could not play it. I did play holes #7,#8,#9 in the S.W. corner of the park.
If you are traveling I-74 and need a break, by all means stop in and stretch your legs and get a round in.
5-10 from the interstate, first round will take about 35 minutes to play. Enjoy!
