Parts of this course can get flooded, especially the walk from 3 to 4. I'll admit that I didn't want wet shoes, and I also didn't want to bust through the woods, so I took a half-mile detour through the fairway of 7 to backtrack to hole 4's tee.
I have mixed feelings about hole 15, the Woodhenge hole. It's the only par 5 on the property but will really play as a par 4 for professionals. You also cross the path twice on it, which is not ideal. However, it is a good example of a good, long hole with a lot of risk-reward potential, especially if the path, tall grass, and/or Woodhenge are OB. Feel free to pay homage to the disc gods on the summer solstice there, though, as long as you don't intentionally chuck plastic into the lake.
This is clearly the best course on the property, and I wish a little more attention could be given to it to make it even better, to make sure the lousy holes here are improved a bit. But it's still a lot of fun to play and has some really fantastic holes, namely the par 4's I mentioned multiple times in the pros. If paths or tall grass is OB, some more challenge will be added, though it will make holes like 11 and 17 a little too oppressive. That said, while this course has room to grow and improve, it is close to its theoretical best, and that shows how well it was designed. I may have been a little critical on this course's ability to challenge the higher level of players, but while those cons are valid, they still allow a pretty good rating for this course.
My thoughts on all three Paradise Pointe courses together:
Overall, Paradise Pointe is a great place to come play some Disc Golf. All three courses fell into some of the same pitfalls (potential flooding, narrow fairways with tall grass that were obviously filler holes, walking paths nearby, some holes feeling a little same-y), but in all honesty, Dick Parker managed to design three really solid courses on land that was only sometimes excellent for Disc Golf, and that's rather difficult. I also know things like the narrow fairways between tall prairie grass was unavoidable. And the courses share some of the same strengths (risky water shots, dogleg par 4's, good signage, drinking fountains and bathrooms). Even with only a little elevation change to work with, I managed to not miss it much, which I normally would on other courses. Also, if you like seeing deer while you play, this is the perfect place to be. The $6 per car entry fee is well worth it, especially if you're playing multiple of the courses (at least, it was $6 when I was there - I think the cost sometimes fluctuates). You can even jump from BC 5 to BT 1, and from BT 10 to WH 11, to make an epic 54-hole course, filling up on water around hole 1 at WH and BT. There are some improvements I would like to see made, namely, some new pin placements, especially at WH, which has the potential be a world-class course. I may have been a little harsh on the three courses because there were some flooding issues when I was there most recently, but I know that won't be the case most of the time. Anyway, I highly recommend coming here if you get a chance.
