Nice Park, Dull Disc Golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 22, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Nice views of surrounding mountains
+Well-kept grounds, clean park
+At least 2 restrooms (near 1 and 9)
+Simple to navigate once the first tee is located

Cons:

-Lightning baskets with single chains and no hole #
-Mostly wide open with little challenge
-No tee box markers
-fence with barbed wire on top that could come into play on 5,6,or 7 that could cost you a disc if thrown over

Other Thoughts:

Looking to kill some time in Luray while my baby took a nap back at the rental, I made my way to this nice little park on the edge of town. It took some searching to find the first tee box. When you enter the park, look immediately to the left and you'll see Hole 3's tee. To get to hole 1, immediately turn right and park when you reach the turn in that road by the concession stand. Walk past the concession stand all the way to the fence to find tee # 1.

Hole 1 is the tightest hole, requiring a throw under a pine tree branch. Everything else is pretty much hyzer city. Hole 9 plays dangerously close to the skate park, and the rest of the course parallels the park fitness loop, but it's not very crowded so the closeness to the trail usually won't be a problem.

Not much to recommend here other than the views, and the nicely-mowed fairways. Could be worse!
