Dechairo diadem 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 14, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is some significant elevation change in this quaint, small-town park setting. There is some good variation in shot-types with there being sub-200 and 300-plus ft holes, left and right, and up and down holes. Navigation is extremely easy as the next tees are pretty close (probably too close) to the previous basket. The tees are natural, but there are arrows in the ground pointing to the next basket (which are numbered and either blue or white, so easily visible). Other park amenities include a swimming pool, volleyball court, the Oregon Trail RV Park, and a playground. Course map at the beginning, if I remember correctly. You'll probably have a peaceful round to yourself here.

Cons:

You'll notice the biggest con as soon as you step up to the first tee: hole 1 throws directly over/through a playground. Pretty minor other than that. The tees are a little too close to the previous basket, but that probably won't matter too much as traffic is pretty low here. There is minor disc loss potential if you go too far right on 3 (it would have to be a terrible shot to get over the chain link fence), 4, or 5 (both feature a tree-line on the right).

Other Thoughts:

Let's talk about the baskets. They're homemade (I think I counted 12 chains) but actually did a pretty good job. I did have a spitout when I hit dead-center pole from 30 ft on hole 8, though. I think you can avoid spitouts like that the same way you can avoid cut-throughs on a Mach III: soft and low-center. Overall, I liked them. To summarize: I was pleasantly surprised by this beginner-friendly 9-holer in the middle of nowhere.

Look for the arrows in the ground 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a well kept, clean park that has decent elevation. Also there are other amenities here like a swimming pool, playground, and a volleyball pit.
Holes 4 and 5 have alternate pins.
Rounds will play quickly here and a few holes have ACE run potential.
Each hole has a plastic arrow in a circle buried in the ground to guide you to the basket.
Here are my hole observations:
1-slightly downhill shot over the playground
2-uphill shot
3-moderate length and downhill
4-downhill, has heavy rough on the right upon approach
5-mostly open
6-slightly uphill
7-moderate length and uphill
8-short ACE RUN
9-uphill basket behind the pine trees

Cons:

Well you start out your round with throwing over the playground, yes you read that right. There is plenty of land here and I just don't see why this is necessary. Please be careful if there are other park goers.
There isn't any signage.
The baskets here are homemade from plastic barrels and chains, with a pole going thru the center. They catch ok if you hit it just right but you might have spit outs so be advised.
Some of the baskets and tees are close together.

Other Thoughts:

This is a pretty beginner friendly course in that the threat of losing a disc is pretty slim. It is fairly open so this is a good place to take a beginner to teach them the game.
As far as the baskets are concerned aiming low might help decrease the chance of spit outs.
Overall this isn't a must play course but if you are in the area and need a quick 9 here is another option.
