Tuyllpark with potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 31, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course, located at some former soccer-fields and in a suburban area near Den Haag,
offers a nice layout and a quite cool scenery.
It's suitable for beginners and advanced players as well.
You can park right next to the coursmap and tee #1.
Most tees are paved or have woodchips.
With 9 baskets and A and B tees you can play a 18 hole course.
The majority of holes are just open shots without any obstacles, but therefore the designer
managed to place the baskets in a tricky position and declared some areas OB.
You have an artificial hill on hole #6A and #6B making your reputt difficult.
#3A and #3B have water directly in play, but still playable for beginners.
The 2 longest holes even offer shorter beginner-tees.
There were woodchips around basket #9 so it wont become muddy so fast.
I guess the locals use it for putting.
The conditions were great with the grass cut down really short.

Cons:

Most holes are just open shots. Some have obstacles or OB's but its mostly straight to the basket.
Not all tees were paved.
Due to the A and B tees some fairways cross so you might have to wait some time when others are playing too. There were some blind-shots were spotting is nessesarry!
There is a bikeway/walkway along some holes (declared as OB) and some streets and factory premises, i would say, definitely too close to the course.
You need to take a picture or download the course map for the first time, otherwise it can be
hard to navigate.
It is not a real 18 hole course and due to the A and B tees the flow suffers.
The ground around basket #5 was very very muddy.

Other Thoughts:

Check the coursemap and dont overthrow. There is a water-channel running behind 2 baskets!
When you are in Den Haag or near around you should try out this course.
There were even other players (not so common to see others in europe).
This course has great potential to become even better with a few improvements and more baskets.

Good for growing the discgolf community 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 11, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

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.

Work in progress but could be good 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 8, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

* Really nice baskets. Yellow tops make them really easy to see. Quite a few of the baskets had mulch around them for the 'circle'. Clearly there has been a lot of effort/care when installing the baskets
* Tee pads were new (but a little small). They had the hole # spray painted on it facing the direction of the basket.
* Good place to test our the big drivers as there is not much in the way
* Holes 6-9 were the highlights. Long enough to be challenging and with somewhat guarded basket placement.

Cons:

* Can be a bit difficult to navigate. Hole #4 and #5 are over the bridge on the other side of the highway.
* Only 9 holes
* Most holes are pretty wide open. Not a lot of shot shaping.
* Not really a true 18. There were 'B' teepads for most holes (that I could find). It used the same basket as the A teepad.
* Course doesn't seem like it would flow too well from the B teepads.

Other Thoughts:

This course seems like it is in its infancy. It has some potential but it will need a lot signs to help with navigation.

Giant square teepad for 8A, 9A and 7B was interesting and not something I had seen before.

Overall, I had fun playing around on this course but it definitely need some love before it can become a true course. I'd mark this as 'unfinished' if I were the designer. I tried to make a rough map but the Google Maps of the location is so old it still looks like the soccer fields. I tried to give someone the gist of the course.

Updated to 2.5 after playing it again. Course navigation is much better now.
