Pros:
Mostly concrete Tee pads. Most of the tee signs are sweet metal ones (like road signs) mounted on poles. Very nice, never seen that before. Signs show hole map and distance.
There are extra concrete pads, presumably from before the redesign, which can be used as alt long pads for several holes, though you'll have to be creative, because they aren't marked anywhere.
This course plays through a flat area between ballfields and tennis courts with scattered larger trees, and a few open fields, including a large square marshy area.
This course does a really god job making the best possible use of the property it sits on. It uses the trees and fences to force left and right curves, with the general lack of shule allowing multiple lines on most holes.
The marsh comes into play on hole 7, so watch out before you land your drive in it lik we all did.
This course weaves through the spaces between the other areas (playground, ballfield, etc) of the park very well, and manages to throw a surprising amount of distances at you as well, despite the park's relatively small size.
Some long bomber holes give you a chance to air it out, but some kind of obstacles are in play on almost every hole. One hole plays at the entrance of the park, showcasing DG to passerbys. Its in a large field with a lone scrubby bush/tree, and the basket is tucked right behind it.
THe signature hoel would probably be 18, which forces you to choose between a tight direct (slight right curve) tunnel shot up the gut between several trees, or a controlled hyzer around them through other scattered trees. Tough hole for righties.
As an added bonus, blackberry trees line the right of fairway 16, if you are in the mood for some local produce. We tried them and they tasted great!
Cons:
Flat at a board. Though this course does a good job with whats there, the lack of terrain or thick woods really limits this course. Thus, when the course venture out into the open areas, the long holes got pretty boring fast, to me. The wooded holes were just ok, with a few good ones, like the aforementioned hole 18.
This course was full of large tree stumps, which led us to believe that this course used to have quite a few more trees on it. A local later filled us in. THe course used to be alot better and more technical, before the redesign. Then it was hit by a bad tornado,which knocked down a lot of the trees, thus forcing the redesign mentioned, so they added several long open holes in the field to replace the ones they lost with the deforestation.
This is really unfortunate, as with the additional trees the wooded holes here would've been quite tricky and interesting.
Overall, the course has ok wooded holes paired with boring long open holes. Its decent, worth a stop if youre in the area, but not very inspiring. There are tons of better courses around that you'd probably better stop at first, like Lemon Lake or The Oaks.
Other Thoughts:
While in the area, we were fortunate enough to hear many great stories about Matt "Homie" Lovasko, the DGer who this course is dedicated to. Many recall how Matt got them into DG in the first place, in addition to being among the top local players. He tragically died in a house fire, and is remembered fondly by the locals, many of whom sport discs and shirts bearing the "Homie" logo on it. As Bart told us "It's our way of keeping him flying."
Its wonderful to have a disc golf course dedicated to such a wonderful person, and I give a 5/5 to what and who this course represents. The course itself, however, is objectively not quite as special as its namesake.
