Damn Cell Tower

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 14, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

For this bagger it was another Plain Jane course added to my list of courses played. To the Disc Golfers in this area this is another course to play and that's a good thing (Despite the obnoxious Cell tower)

Clean Port-a-Johns on site (closer to the ball fields)

the "Start" sign helped me find hole # 1. As this stranger didn't really know where to start, as the course was in the back section of the park.

Hole # 1 was still a nice hole despite the Cell Tower being in the way. The hole was a legit good hole. 2-tiered and 379 feet long.

The tee signs were unique and generic all at the same time. The tee signs showed the played the distance at each bend of the fairway. The T-signs we're also in large print.

Cons:

Cell tower constructed towards the beginning of the first hole :(

Homie review. Even if this course was taken care of, it wouldn't be a 4/5 rated course, IMO.

No benches

a few fairways we're very overgrown (# 2 stood out to me, especially near the basket). Perhaps since this course has longer winters than where I'm from, the course hadn't been cleaned up for play on this early spring day.

Tee pads we're just a wooden frame. The course was very sandy so one really didn't need a framed tee box, I feel a foot board would of been more efficient (as I teed off next to the
t- box frame, so I wouldn't trip and fall over the raised frame.

I think it was hole 5 (it was either 4 or 5), but the basket was in the middle of 2 mounds flowing downhill. I feel if the basket was on either mound it would added more excitement than how the hole was laid out.

Other Thoughts:

I understand the pain of having a cool course in the neighborhood and Big Brother comes in and makes changes to which the course will never be the same. But there's enough room at this park to change the teeing area for hole # 1 to which the cell tower wouldn't be such a nuisance.

Dollar General store within a mile of the course if one needed something.

I feel the course was cleaned up a little better the course would of been more enjoyable to play.
