Fun wooded course 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Nov 27, 2021
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Easy access, lots of parking and other park activities are close by.
Dual tees, and the shorts often require a completely different shot, not just the same drive but starting 50 feet closer. Playing both or alternating is a good way to mix things up if you come here often.
Frequent basket position changes, now with accurate signs on every teepad!
Good variety of hole types, some fairly open bombers and some tightly wooded ace run holes.
Great effort to keep cyclists on the bike trail through the course out of harms way, you only cross the path on one drive and it is very easy to double check no one is coming.
Navigation is pretty smooth, just keep going south until you run out of holes then turn around and come back north.

Cons:
Rubber teepads tend to collect rainwater in the center.
The bike path is in play on a couple holes if you shank your drive.
The evergreen trees love to snag discs like the kite-eating tree. Bring something to knock them down with.
I swear they keep making the inbounds area smaller and smaller on hole 12...

Other Thoughts:
Riverfront has something to offer players at many skill levels, you can start out here and not be too frustrated but scoring well from the longs requires precision.
13 holes is better than 9 but I've played a tournament with added temporary holes and I wish they could stay in all the time.

Pros:
- There are signs on the road pointing you to the course and at the park entrance an arrow shows the way to the disc golf course.
- Plenty of parking.
- Hole 1 is right next to the parking lot with a sign indicating it is the first hole.
- There is a minimap at each tee showing where the baskets are and the total distance.
- The new rubber teepads are comfortable and spacious.
- It was a well groomed park so I wasn't scared about losing any discs.
- Each hole presented some unique challenges and I was forced to utilize my bag with different shots.
- There are logs to sit down on at each teepad.
- There are two teepads for each hole, one longer and one shorter in distance to the basket.
- Some shots at this course do require a distance driver.
- The course layout wraps around so you finish at the parking lot.
- The course offers a practice basket at the beginning.
- There are arrows in each basket pointing you towards the next teepad.

Cons:
- The course is a quick 13 holes.
- It wasn't clear which basket was set up at each teepad so I did have to walk forward to see where I was throwing at times.

Other Thoughts:
There isn't a ton of negative things to say about this course. It was easy to find and navigate the course itself. The teepads were spacious and the baskets were easy to spot. It was only 13 holes but it was nice being forced to utilize my bag.

Solid urban park course 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Sep 15, 2019
Played the course:once
Pros:
Excellent signage. Well-groomed. Efficient layout and use of space available.
Cons:
Only 13 holes...just play twice!
Other Thoughts:
Really like this new (to me) course. Excellent design with two tee pads on most holes and multiple pin placements. Very good use of the space and fairways have many route choices. Park is kept up nicely and a glimpse of the river here and there doesn't hurt. "Island" hole is a great feature! Can't wait to play it again.
