First, someone needs to update the website here, Nottingham Park DGC has recently added three more holes making this now a nine hole course. The setting is absolutely beautiful. The park has lush green grass, mature fir trees, sits beside a large lake and all this with the mountains and the ski lifts in the background.

Hole # 1 starts over by the elementary school near the tennis courts (one of the tennis courts has been converted into two pickleball courts and they were filled with players playing another of my favorite sports on this lovely morning). The course features great little tee signs with all the information you need and new Discatchers baskets. The holes are all little more than pitch and putt length, perhaps recreational length, but they're fun as the baskets are sometimes placed in or near small groves of trees. The courses completes a circuit with # 9 being a short 155' downhill toss, almost back to your starting point.

Short distances! Most holes play under 200', although # 7 is 280'.

Listed pars are for middle school age players. Like # 7 a 280' Par 5 and # 6, a 340' Par 5. Do what you wish. Play them as they listed and go for the Eagles or even the rare double-Eagles OR be boring and play everything as a Par 3?

Park might be a little crowded during peak times. Remember, these people around here have big money and don't appreciate being thumped with your discs (They can hire expensive legal representation) so I would wait until they are out of your way before throwing.

Instead of complaining about the lack of challenge here or the shortness of the holes or the middle school Pars, I say revel in the beautiful scenery, rack up those Eagles and try to shoot double digits under Par.

This is just of those lovely little course, only in miniature.
