Pros:
-Tees are great, high quality turf on most holes, they blend in nicely with the park, however, this does mean they are hard to find as the tee number markers are also flush with the ground.
-Baskets are awesome out here, they look good, function good, and fit into the park well without much disturbance.
-Fairways are generally good, usually on open fields, however, the wholes that are more wooded are not beat in yet. See cons section
-This course is flat, in a mainly flat area, so you can't really hold the lack of elevation against the designer, what you can do though is notice how every single mound or divit is factored in somehow. Elevation is also created artificially on a raised basket position, which I like to see.
-This is a solid course it was very challenging and has potential to be an incredible course as it ages and more people play it. This course is brand new and is still becoming well established, but you can tell that it will become a favorite in the near future.
-There are lots of different shot types out here. There are big open Fairways, but they all have obvious lines you have to take which means many of your discs will get thrown.
-A pretty clean course, especially for what seems to be a well used public park. There is very little garbage on the ground.
Cons:
-Tee signs are non existent, on most holes there is a number painted on a tile or paver, this (as mentioned above) makes the tees difficult to find, and some holes difficult to navigate.
-Certain Fairways, the ones that aren't on the large open fields, are super tough, you have to park the basket, no easy feat on most holes, to avoid the nastiness of blackberry bushes and other dense brush. I spent 20 minutes searching for a drive that ended up within 65 feet of the basket.
-Navigation is hard, the holes wind back and forth over an immense park and under a bridge. Part of the course, holes 2-6 play through what seems like an old parking lot and what I'm told used to be a large homeless area. This wouldn't be much of an issue if nobody parked there, however, they do. This section has many long holes and a couple par 4's so there is inevitably a car parked right in the fairway you're throwing down.
-This is a pretty long course, and it has to be because it is wide open. That means that playing this course, especially in summer heat is quite taxing. I would love to see some benches specifically near the disc golf course for people to rest on (hint hint: prospective Eagle Scouts should read that last sentence again and think about making some benches...maybe)
Other Thoughts:
This is a fun course, it is interesting to play a brand new course because it is so different from the "classic" courses that have been around for a while, and are well played and everything. If you're driving through mount Vernon, come hit this course!
