Pros:
Yep, it wasn't until about the 10th hole that I figured out that I didn't have to throw that color disc on each hole. Actually, as a player playing this course for the first and only time, I thought this coloring system was the greatest invention since indoor plumbing. These big colored numbers made navigation a breeze. At first, I was hoping for 18 different colors. However, I don't think they are particularly attractive and if I were not a disc golfer, I think I'd be opposed to them.
The 18 holes are squeezed into a pretty small space here. Until, I just read some reviews I hadn't really thought about so many holes requiring a simple hyser into the center but I reckon that's true. The staging area is great with the pavilion and a practice basket. Nice amenities, concrete pads, DGA baskets, the large colored numbers. The old school fiberglass signs have held up really well. I think this neighborhood might be a little more upscale and less prone to vandalism and litter.
Although there were quite a few hyser holes, I thought there was a certain cleverness, creativity, weirdness, to the design. Some of the more interesting holes, IMO, were # 7 and having you have to hit that tiny window, # 10's basket in that grove of 16 trees, # 14 with that basket deep in the trees, 552' # 16 with the fences on your right all the way and # 17, the shortie over the tall reeds.
Cons:
Holes 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, all throw across the path with # 5 being blind and a little more serious. On most of these, one just has to have a brain and wait for traffic to clear.
Colored sign missing from the # 18 basket.
Having to backtrack after 4 and even more after # 9.
One reviewer thought 16 was the signature hole. Although, I liked it, I don't think it's a well designed hole. I don't think having a 552' hole twisting by the neighbor's fences is the best idea. I know better players aren't going to throw over those tall fences BUT less skilled players trying to really crank it up for this long hole will launch a few into these yards. And how would you know which house to knock on the door and ask? You can assume that this been an issue when there are a couple of signs telling players not to scale the fences trying to retrieve discs. I think # 16 would be OK if it was shorter, maybe 200'. Players would less apt to throw over fences if they weren't trying to amp up.
Other Thoughts:
I liked this little course. I think it was an enjoyable round and would come back and play often if I lived close. It's probably strictly a recreational level course. Intermediate players should tear it up and post some impressive way below par scores. Now that I know the layout, I wouldn't need those less than attractive huge colored numbers.
