Pros:
Roberts is a sprawling, multi-use community park, which means it includes activities for the whole family (including the dog), and boasts an actual covered bridge and some amazing carvings made out of the large stumps of trees gone by. It's right in town, with lots of restaurants and other attractions nearby. The disc golf course designers worked with the space they'd been given to create a good deal of variety in hole lengths (153-399') and line shaping, as well as cleverly utilizing two or three stumps themselves for pedestal basket placements. There isn't going to be a long bomber hole in a park like this, but there was still space to get out beyond 330' three times.
Now, I'm more of a fan of a shorter hole with a line to hit for an ace or deuce run, and there were a good dozen of these out here, so I had a fun round (once I'd found my way around). Each tee has a pair of signs with all the needed information. And the second sign indicated that every hole has a 'junior' tee …somewhere… which suggest the option to play this as a "birdie bash" course, as well. But as it's configured now, the 'main Connersville' course is a great addition to the region, and will play well for casual to recreational levels.
Cons:
Roberts is a sprawling, multi-use community park… which means that it appears they had to do some redesigning even after the huge, colorful map was created. As it currently lies, the course still has some flexibility in the fact that the tees are either large, level Astro-turf or painted boxes on the pavement driveways… and the 'junior' tees didn't appear to be marked yet. Love to see the course more 'finalized' someday (and will come back to play again).
Baskets are either gold or green Prodigy or white DD style, so even though they're visible, they're not consistent. Most of the course has a decent focus on safety, but one of the longest holes (9) has a swing set very much in range of the zealous misfire that's likely to occur here from time to time. Another hole (13) throws from up against the dog park (BARK!) and out through what looked like the frame for an outdoor movie projector screen (? …interesting quadruple mando?) Finally, the park has little to no elevation, so there wasn't a chance to add that element to the design.
Other Thoughts:
In all, I really enjoyed the Roberts Park course, and saw a few other groups out there on a grey and breezy December day, so I know it's already a success. Kudos to the team that did the design and install!
