-Edgley Disc Golf Course plays around the perimeter of the beautiful Edgley Ultimate Fields, in the northern part of the expansive Fairmount Park.

-Great location. The course is only a short drive from downtown Philadelphia and also easily accessed with the #38 or #40 bus.

-Hole 6, a tight woods shot to an elevated basket, and hole 9, a long, slightly downhill open shot, were the most attractive.

-Reviews from two years ago describe the course as in a developmental stage. Unfortunately, it still is. Baskets are the portable Innova Discatcher Sport models (passable, but not great) and the tees are a mixture of natural, astroturf, and rubber, all in terrible condition. Only one tee sign remains. There are plenty of garbage cans, but trash is scattered throughout the course. Thick bushes on several holes can eat your disc.

-The course design is mediocre at best. I think holes 2 and 7 would be much improved with a slightly easier tee placement. There are also several holes which start from the open field and require a shot to crash the trees on the edge. Not much imagination is required.

-Several holes would be unplayable when the fields are in use for Ultimate or other activities.

-The first tee is behind the Ultimate clubhouse — a large, decrepit old yellow house, maybe a former park ranger station. The next several holes play counterclockwise around the main Ultimate field, before crossing the driveway to the small Ultimate field for the last three holes.

-The Ultimate fields are immaculate — a great place for field work on a quiet day.

-With a great location and active local disc golf club, it's surprising that this course has not been brought up to a better standard. It wouldn't take much — new tees, minor tree trimming, and redesign of a couple holes would make this a good, solid 9-hole track. At the moment, however, it still looks like a backyard hobby course.
