Why not use the woods?

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 4, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Easy to follow course
- Baskets look good
- Concrete tee pads in good shape
- No one else plays this course but you
- Good for introducing the game to new players
- Right off the major road in town

Cons:

- Construction has destroyed hole two and I assume hole 3's tee pad as well as I couldn't find it
- Standing water on the fairways and around the baskets at least when I played it in December
- Most holes are wide open with not much challenge
- There is a wooded section in the back of the park that would be perfect for a course but was not used at all

Other Thoughts:

Overall a pretty bad course and not worth playing unless you're a course bagger with a serious addition problem. Why they didn't use that wooded section is beyond me. Being that this is 10 minutes from the Hideaway I see no reason to play here, just go there instead.

Quinlan Park

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 2, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Good level concrete tee pads, approximately 5x12. However, most are higher than the surrounding ground, some by as much as 6 inches, so there is a safety concern.
-- DISCatcher baskets; they've got some wear on them, but they catch fine.
-- Tee signs have all of the necessary information, plus either an inspirational quote or a piece of disc golf history.
-- Map on site.
-- Course flow is solid, especially when you understand there is no Hole 2 anymore. Mostly you follow the gravel path.
-- Practice basket in a C1-sized circle surrounded by gravel path.
-- Other amenities on site include covered pavilions, playground equipment, a basketball court, and a splash pad.

Cons:

-- Land is not great for disc golf. It's pretty flat with few trees and no water, except the water that seems to collect in fairways and stay for days after a rain.
-- The holes are fairly short with only two of the eight longer than 300. Those are 309 and 311, so big-armed players won't throw a driver. Holes are also open with very few obstacles.
-- Road construction took out hole 2 completely and the T pad for hole 3. You can tee from the concrete walking path and come close to the original design. However, moving farther up the path (away from basket 1) would bring trees into play and make a much-more interesting hole. Also, if you pushed the 9 basket back/left, some trees would come into play.
-- No water.
-- No restrooms.
-- No seating at T pads.

Other Thoughts:

-- Park borders an elementary school and an intermediate school.
-- From the parking lot, follow the path between playground equipment and the basketball court to reach the No. 1 tee. No. 9 basket will be on your right, and the practice basket will be on the left.

Good Intro to Disc Golf 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 22, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good concrete tee pads, nice DISCatcher baskets, course flow is easy to follow.

Informative tee signs that also inform you of disc golf history or a random inspirational quote.

The walking path that runs throughout the course looks like it was designed to make some holes accessible for wheel chairs. It may not be in good enough shape to achieve that purpose anymore.

Cool and interesting putting circle for the practice basket.

A good place to teach a new player the game, for sure.

Cons:

The holes are short and open, with very few obstacles.

Holes 2 was missing entirely, due to construction of a new road. Hole 3's tee pad is also gone.

Swampy ground, in many areas.

Other Thoughts:

It is good to have disc golf as an option for recreation at this small town park. I am sure this course provides fun for local families while also teaching them more about our sport through the innovative tee signage.

Great BEGINNER course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 30, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has some awesome additions. It has a walking path. I real waking path up to most of the tees pads. Great well marked tee pads and new baskets. The signs are perfect and even have disc trivia one new fact per hole. I thought this was awesome. Almost every hole is an ACE try.

Cons:

Very very short and no elevation. Lots of snake holes and spiders in woods.

Other Thoughts:

This is a perfect place to introduce a new player to the game. It would be fun for a beginner. Its to short though if you have played for a while.

Introduction to the sport 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 22, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course had nice big concrete teepads with the hole number on the pad.
Nice Discatcher baskets
Each hole has a teesign, no layout of the hole, but none is really needed.
Good course to practice in windy conditions
Course was well maintained, very nice and clean park.

Cons:

No difficulty to this course.
Either mids or putters off the pad.
A couple holes you can use your fairway drivers and grip and rip.
More trees or obstacles would make this a better course.

Other Thoughts:

Great park to get introduced to the sport. A few walking paths, but you don't need to worry about hitting anyone with your throws.

If your in the area, a quick stop to bag the course, but don't expect a whole lot.

Kids course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 10, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It's a good course for the kids in the elementary school that is right beside it, and good for beginners. A nice practice basket placement and set up that I think the circle surrounding it is 30 feet

Cons:

All the shots are the same and it's really small. Hole 3 will puddle and get really muddy. A long shot on 9 could land in the parking lot.

simple park course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 29, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-uses limited trees, small creek, and obstacles
-brand new discatchers
-concrete tees
-detailed tee signs
-practice basket
-splash pad, pavilion, and restrooms near the parking lot
-plenty of parking
-not crowded, you will probably have the course to yourself

Cons:

-very few trees and obstacles, could use some planting of new trees
-walking path circles the course, fairways are constrained inside the circular path on some holes or between the path and the park boundaries. OB are indicated on the tee signs for each hole.
-mostly short holes, it's a small park
-distances seem a little shorter than listed on some tees

Other Thoughts:

Quinlan is a small town and it's pretty cool they have a disc golf course. Quinlan Park also sports a splash pad (its main attraction), a walking/jogging trail, a pavilion with park tables, restrooms, and a parking lot that is plenty large for a park and city of this size. The course is on the back end of the park, fairly separated from the other park amenities except the walking trail.

The course is designed around the walking trail. The first 4 holes have the path as OB on the left side of the fairway and the trees and thick rough of the park boundary on the right. Holes 5-8 are inside the circle the trail makes. Nobody was using it when I was there (midday in the summer) and I imagine it doesn't see much traffic (like the course) but you could end up having to wait on some tees since the walking trail is in play on nearly all the holes. Hopefully shouldn't be a safety issue on this short course.

Hole 9 has a green just beyond a very small creek with a tree line on the left. Hole 2 has a very tight window but at 140' you pretty much just have to make the window and you have your birdie putt. I liked the well-framed but open fairway on hole 3, you need a straight 250' shot. Hole 4 has two trees to beat and an OB path near the green. The rest of the holes are mostly wide open or have one or two trees to beat but tons of room to work around them.

The course makes for a quick round if you happen to be in or near Quinlan but it's pretty out of the way and not worth traveling any great distance. The course and park were in good condition on my visit and the grass was mowed. A few strategically planted trees could make some holes a bit more interesting several years down the road. It's a well-executed short course for locals and course baggers only.

Great beginners course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good disc catchers, good tee boxes, practice area, water park close to cool down on hot summer day, restrooms near

Cons:

Can get swampy after rain, just nine holes

Other Thoughts:

This area was a marsh prior to being a park, they did a nice job with it. I believe with a little work can be much more challenging.

Par 2 course? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 24, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice new DISCatchers
Good Tee Boxes
Good tee signs

Cons:

Not enough trees to make it remotely interesting.
Very short holes

Other Thoughts:

I think it is GREAT that a small town of 1400 has a disc golf course. The park is small, so it has a small course. The park is new, so the course is still rough. It does not look like they have mowed the course yet.

Easy enough to follow, I doubt you will come across any other players when you are there.
