Don't bother 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Can't think of any......

It has 6 baskets?

Cons:

3 baskets missing
holes throwing across road/walking paths
Cheap baskets (which is why they are missing 3)

Other Thoughts:

Even with baskets, this is a poor course in it's design.

the course starts at the parking lot and throws around the lake and back to the parking lot. That is/was the whole design, not any real thought. There is a nice area unused that could have held a hole or two and made the course twice as nice.

NEVER design a course around a playground.
NEVER design a course throwing down sidewalk (even across a sidewalk is not good)
Yes, the pond comes into play, it does make a couple of the holes challenging specially considering the other side has a small creek (more of a drainage ditch that holds water)

Hole 7 would have been a decent hole if it were not for the fact there was a swing set to the right of the fairway. I could not throw because a little girl was swinging. I just threw an upshot, then another instead of risking hitting her.

Hole 8 is just as dangerous, you are literally throwing around a part of the playground.

So, would I play here again.

NO, even with baskets, this course is not worth playing.

Now redesign the course using part of the park not used and we can talk.

Open, non-technical course with water hazards and playground 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 6, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course circles a pond and great playground, so bring the family and your fishing poles. You'll have better luck retrieving fish than your discs!

Cons:

Baskets only have 2 rows of chains (total of 14 chains) which does not help in catching your disc.

Not too much around to block the wind.

If you have a disc that floats, pull it out for three of the 9 holes (#4, #5, #6).

There is only one place to cross the 15 foot wide creek that runs alongside the course (by the basket for hole number two). Sucks if you throw it over on holes four or five. But I found myself throwing towards the creek instead of toward the pond because there's a better chance of wading and finding my disc if it goes in the shallow creek. Whoever maintains this should think about putting steppingstones to go across at intervals.

Lost 2 discs in water but recovered 1 disc on hole #5.

Be careful not to grip lock on holes #7 and #8 because you're playing right along the playground. I would not suggest playing on a weekend as there will be families with kids, making these holes difficult and increasing wait time. Very dangerous.

On hole #9 be careful not to throw into the parking lot and hit any cars.

Other Thoughts:

The tees are very close the the previous baskets. Too close to be safe, in fact. Someone could easily overthrow on these short holes.
