Pros:
Holland doesn't have many disc golf courses yet, and a small community of players. So when we saw the opportunity to get a course in our home town, we took that chance.
We got a budget from the city council for nine baskets. We still tried to make it into an 18 holes course by creating A and B tees for each basket. That means that the course doesn't have flow. But the most important pro is this: it is a great facility for getting people in contact with discgolf, which is very important as in Holland maybe 1% of the population has ever heard of the sport. It is a great course for practice. It is not the most challenging course you will ever come across. But for us, it is a great asset. Our local Facebook group started with 20 people in February and now we're up to 90.
It is really fun to play, there is the need to birdie if you want a good score, and several holes are indeed really tricky.
Cons:
- We only had money for 9 baskets, so if you want to play the 18 holes layout, you have to do some extra walking.
- A significant part of the course is on abandoned soccer fields, so you're not going to play tight shots through the woods on this course.
