Pros:

JBeast is everything I want in a disc golf course. Quality signage, teepads, garbage cans are all there and well maintained. It has length, short wooded holes, left to right, right to left, elevated tee shots, and tee shots where you are throwing up a steep slope. Love the variety, perhaps what I love the most - and I have played JBeast in the Spring, Summer, and as of yesterday, in the fall - the park is extraordinarily maintained. By itself, the park is picturesque. If I lived in NWA, this would be my home course. One final thought, for the over 50 crowd, like myself, JBeast provides a great cardio 18 - up and down the hills.

Cons:

Although I have only played JBeast a handful of times, some would consider that lack of multiple teepads or pin placements to be a negative. Personally, I would have to play another 30-40 rounds there before I would even consider that to be a problem.

Other Thoughts:

JBeast Junior is adjacent to the Dynamic Discs store on site. It is a quick short course nine that is also fun - especially if you bring children or people who are new to the game.

Pros:

Maybe the best well-kept course I've played! The city mows a portion of this course every day and they do a great job!

The baskets are in great condition and all holes (except 1) have an arrow pointing to the next tee box.

Great concrete tee boxes on each hole.

Cons:

Good luck getting a disk out of the woods if you happen to throw one in there. It can get thick for sure.

The course layout is decent. I would have liked to see hole #18 ending up closer to the parking lot, but they do a great job of making use of the grounds for sure.

Other Thoughts:

Hole #1 - Throwing into tight woods. Nice and straight, short hole. Well marked and easily understandable.

Hole #2 - Wooded tunnel shot, short hole. Straight again with a gully to throw over, finishing uphill.

Hole #3 - Fades from left to right in the woods, short hole. Slight RHBH ani or a RHFH.

Hole #4 - Open fairway shot ending uphill through some guardian trees/bushes/greenery. Moderately long.

Hole #5 - Slowly up-sloping hill, wide open. Finishing in the edge of a clearing with a number of guardian tree trunks.

Hole #6 - An interesting tunnel shot. Starts in the open, has a small tunnel (40' or so), back to open, back to tunnel. Good little hole for sure.

Hole #7 - Easy and short hole that starts in the open with a large tree making your drive interesting. Finishes in a clearing of trees.

Hole #8 - Short and tight tunnel shot through mature evergreens. Finishes with a basket that is mounted in the stump of an old pine tree.

Hole #9 - Longer, downhill drive that gets interesting as the power lines and the bushes/trees come in to play for sure.

Hole #10 - Longer par 4 hole that has a creek on the right and a walking trail on the left as OB. Straightforward and somewhat wide open.

Hole #11 - Wide open, uphill drive that plays a lot longer than what it is due to the incline. Right now it isn't guarded by any thick trees, but they have planted some immature trees that will definitely add character to this hole in a few years.

Hole #12 - Moderately long hole that has a somewhat tunnel drive off the tee. If you can clear the trees (pretty easy to do) you will land in the fairway which is nicely mowed. Finishes in a small clearing of trees. A well-placed upshot is necessary as it could leave you with a death putt as there is a drop off behind the basket.

Hole #13 - Shorter, wooded hole where mature trees are plentiful. No brush or anything else impeding your shots, but picking a flight path can be tricky.

Hole #14 - A moderately uphill drive that starts barely in the woods, giving way to a wide open fairway. Plays slights longer than marked due to being uphill.

Hole #15 - Drive off the tee has to be well placed as there is a large grove of trees slight offset of the middle. Upshot and basket are wide open and located on a moderate decline.

Hole #16 - Moderately longer hole at 360+' (if I remember correctly). There is a creek that runs right to left at about 300' out off the box. This is the only hole I couldn't find an arrow pointing me to the next tee box which was awkwardly located across the bridge and across the street.

Hole #17 - Long, par 4 hole that is wide open and finishes with a few guardian trees.

Hole #18 - Mature trees to the right and wide open to the left. Hole finishes slightly to the right at 250' within a group of mature guardian trees.

Nice 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 19, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

GREAT mix of holes
Both tight wooded holes
And long bombers up and down hills
Cement Tee pads on all the holes (except 10 which is teeing off the asphalt trail)
Good shape Innova baskets
GREAT direction markers at all the holes needed.

Cons:

Only tee posts, no signage or distance marked.
A few of the holes have sidewalks that come into play.

Other Thoughts:

What a fun course to play. The grass is mowed very nicely and apparently is like that all the time. Even the wooded holes had well defined fairways.

You have several decent wooded holes that are not too short, nor too long. Hit the line and you have a putt.

Plenty of elevation on several holes. You get to both throw up, and throw down large hills. Hole 16 was fun, 400+ across a creek downhill.


Hole 10 is the longest hole on the course. along an OB creek and down the sidewalk. It took all of two drives for me to get my 3.

Would I play here again?

Yes, this is one of the better courses that will make you a better player.
