Pros:
Hudson Park is a really fun disc golf course to play. If you like playing disc golf, like having fun, and have fun playing disc golf, this is all you really need to know. Go play it!
What? You are still reading? Sheesh! Alright, I'll write more.
Hudson Park is a short wooded course with some really good elevation to work with. A few shots like #1 and #15 have a park-style feel, but most of the shots are wooded with really wide defined throwing routes. #1 and #15 are also the only 300'+ shots, so if you can hit your lines there will be birdie opportunities early and often. If you don't hit your lines? Well there is some pretty thick shule that makes scrambling a chore, so you are a lot better off just hitting your lines.
There is a good variety to the shots. None of the holes are really epic/memorable, but holes like #7, #16 and #17 are pretty spots to throw. There are a couple of shots (#6 and #18) where the pin is 20'+ higher than the tee, and holes #2, #3 #5, #7 and #11 feature elevated tee shots. Hole #10 has a slanting fairway with some rollaway danger.
The baskets are Gateway Titans, the tee signs are informative but are just laminated signs so they may not hold up. The course has good, logical flow and a lot of "next tee" directional signs. There are benches or stumps to sit on at a lot of tees. It's just...it's just so darn fun. If I could have a disc golf course in my backyard, I'd want it to play like Hudson Park. Go play it!
Cons:
OK, for those of you that are allergic to fun there are things you can use as an excuse to poo-poo the place:
*The tees are natural and stink, the course needs better tees.
*Hole #17 tees on a downhill slant, so good luck teeing there when it rains.
*The distances are short, so if you HAVE to throw far to impress your friends it's not going to let you show off that particular skill.
*A lot of the course is low-lying and kinda torn up, so it's not the best place to go after it has rained.
*The shule is pretty thick and could stand to be cleaned out some.
*There are still some ankle-breaker stumps in the fairways. They get painted so you can see most of them, but they are out there.
*If you are on a road trip and are looking for the DGCR-approved definition of the "best" courses in the area, it's a recreational short course that isn't going to make the cut.
Other Thoughts:
I flipped an old Comet into the shule on hole 12 and had a screaming/cursing hissy fit when I couldn't find it before I noticed there was a house. Right. There. Sorry, disc golf course neighbors.
OK, so I have to rate the place. Ugh. It's a short rec course, and those don't rate so great. If it was perfect it would be a 3, and it's not perfect because of bad tees. So it ends up at a 2.5. I'd really like to rate it higher, though. It's a really fun course. Anybody who plays disc golf for fun is going to like this course. You should really just go and play it already.
