Pros:

Pla-Mor DGC is a pretty basic park style nine that's scrunched into a little park. The golf is pretty straightforward here. Easy flow, simple layout, and completely flat. They do have a few trees out here to contend with on hole 4 at least. They also tucked holes 3 and 9's basket into the woods/brush to add a little extra challenge.

There's tee signs mounted on 4x4's for each hole. These have the hole number and a sponsor on them. They basically serve as an indication of where you need to tee off from. For whatever reason some of the signs were red, some blue and some yellow from what I remember. Not sure why but all were present at least.

The baskets are Mach's. All are good shape and catch well enough. One basket and pin placement per hole.

The course starts and ends near(ish) the parking lot.

Most likely will never be busy. Hell, there most likely won't ever be any other players out there. Free to play and permanent as well.

Cons:

Lack of obstacles really limits this courses appeal. Hole 4 is the highlight here since it has a few trees you need to shape a shot around. It's literally completely wide open the rest of the way unless you turn one over into the treeline.

The walking trail comes into play on the left for holes 4,5 and 6. Neighboring yards do the same on the left of holes 7,8 and 9.

May not be playable on the first three holes if a ball game is going on, though that's probably not too often, it is possible.

The tee signs are useless. I mean, you can see 7 of the 9 baskets from the tee, but the two that you can't would've been nice to have even a basic map indicating that they were tucked into the brush off the fairway at least. Kind of a waste of signs. May as well have painted the hole # on the post, would've functioned the same.

Repetitive as all get out. Especially the last 6 holes. Three play in a straight line south. Then you turn around and play three back the opposite direction. The first three aren't any better.

Other Thoughts:

Play it if you're near here I guess. By no means go out of your way to play it unless you need to bag them all. If so, at least it's quick play. I didn't expect much, didn't get much, but didn't lose much time. Bare bones basic course.

Play Less at Pla-Mor

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 10, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Pla-Mor's nine holes play clockwise around a baseball diamond. A woods bounds the left side of the course and comes into play on hole #'s 2 & 3.
- Hole #'s 3 & 9 had tees placed in among trees. Otherwise the course plays completely flat and open with no obstacles (#'s 1, 4-8).
- Signage consists of blue and red rectangular signs on posts with hole number and maybe distance. Tees are natural with no ruts and solid footing. Baskets were all in fine shape.

Cons:

- Hole # 3's green is badly overgrown woodland/brush/scrub. Hole #9's green area, the only scrap of elevation in the form of a small bump with white-barked trees, is also pretty shaggy.
- #1's tee is poorly placed, conflicting with ballfield activities.
- Repetitious and boring. Hole #'s 4-8 are the exact same flat open shortish design. Don't get me wrong, the design here isn't the problem, and clearly they used the best pieces (e.g., # 9's green is nice and I can see what they were going for on #3 before it got overgrown), but the fact is this place is mostly flat open grass.

Other Thoughts:

- Park in second lot. First tee is near the ballfield's 3rd base side.
- Good for field practice, one disc putter rounds.
- Located in a small multi-use park with typical playground amenities, ballfields, etc.
- Little League was using the ballfields when I played so I had to skip #1.

Open Nine for newbies 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 6, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course had pretty simple navigation. A lot of grassy fairways. Nice Mach 2 baskets. Good course for beginners and people wanting to test out new discs. Plenty of parking. Hole distances vary from 180-360 feet or so. Giant field to practice drives if the park isn't busy.

Cons:

Repetitive open holes. No tee pads (natural). Holes 3 & 9 aren't mowed in the woods so the green is anywhere from 6-24 inches tall. Course is kinda far away from anything. Hard to tell where to start. Not any challenge. Bugs were bad. Tee signs are numbered but most face towards the previous basket not the next basket. Over 600 foot walk from hole 9 back to parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

I tried out this course just to bag another one. It's not much more than an open course to test out new discs because it's so open. But it could also be helped to grow the sport in their small village. Although the baskets were nice and new, I had three bad spit-outs as if the chains were greased up? If you're in town then why not come here and throw, but otherwise it doesn't have any reason to make a trip for.
The first tee pad is down the path of the 2nd parking lot between the baseball diamonds. Park near there.
