They need to add 9 more holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

1. Tee pads: nice concrete pads in every hole
2. Practice long throws: when the fields are not being used, you have a lot of open areas to practice long throws, hyper flips, rollers, etc
3. Port-o-let: not a nice bathroom, but it's better than trying to hide behind trees

Cons:

1. Layout: Hole 9 ends at the far end of the park. You have to walk all the way back to the parking lot. They need to add more holes, so you can come back around naturally
2. Too close to the walking trail: you tee off across some parts of the trail, which means waiting for it to clear
3. No signs: the tee pads are not easily seen due to surrounding grass, would be nice to have tee signs so you can easily see the location

Other Thoughts:

It has multi use fields, which is nice if your wife/husband/kids don't want to play disc golf, they can use the park while you play.
I wish they can add more baskets, so I can play on the way back to the car

Where to go when the kids are driving you crazy 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 11, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice concrete teeboxes
-Great place to stretch out the drivers
-Good for a RHBH player who has good distance but always fades out hard left.
-A lined football field next to the 9th fairway in case you want to find out how far you are driving

Cons:

-VERY long for a 9-holer (I only say this because its length is comparable to a short 18 and perhaps 18 would make more sense in this park)
-Flow is very difficult to say the least. I took a picture of the course map and needed it after almost every hole
-Not a lot of variety. Pretty much throw a 400' straight line shot for every basket
-Almost a half mile walk from the 9th basket back to the parking lot. I was tired when I got back.
Many holes either run parallel and right next to the walking path (and I saw probably 50 walkers) or cross said path. I realize that as expansive as these paths are within the park this is a difficult problem, but I think an effort could have been made to minimize this problem.

Other Thoughts:

I HIGHLY recommend this course if you have kids that are driving you insane. First, it will allow you to let out some aggression by hucking plastic as far as you can. Second, because you'll walk so far, you'll have plenty of time to cool down. And third, you'll get so ticked off at trying to find the next tee, that you'll forget how bad your kids are.

I probably won't go play here again. There are better 9 holers in the area and Coyote Hills isn't that far away. That is the better course to play if you're in the area.

A Good Start 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 17, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a great course to try your drivers on, with wide open spaces to throw into. The concrete tee boxes are long and flat for accurate footing, and the distances of the holes makes for a challenging round. A pretty quiet setting when there are no athletics going on, and not much risk of losing a disc.

Cons:

At this point, the cons of this course are pretty significant, unfortunately. The course map is nowhere near the first tee, but yet you have to memorize it well or you'll get lost trying to find the next tee box throughout the round. Tees are not marked from above, so you can't see them from a distance (and many holes are quite a distance apart). The pars for the holes are not listed anywhere I could find at the course, so I didn't know how I was doing relative to par. The cinder pathways weave through the course, and it is unavoidable to have a disc land on them and get chewed up at least a couple times per round. Holes 6, 7, 8, and 9 have no variety at all, basically a block of trees on the right side of each hole. Finally, the ninth hole is easily a quarter mile away from the first tee, so you have to pick to either walk a long way to get started, or a long way when you finish.

Other Thoughts:

If this expands to an 18-hole facility, that will help with a few things, like hopefully putting the 18th discatcher near the 1st tee to make parking easier. Labeling the tees would have made this round much more enjoyable as well, as I spent a lot of time wandering looking for the next concrete pad.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

A very good course to practice your tee offs. It is a nice walk around the course. It reminds me of Willow Mill but much longer.

Cons:

If the park is being used heavily by other sports there is no way you could safely play it. Since there are only nine holes with nine ending at the other end of the park, it took me 8 minutes to walk back to my car. Unless you have a big arm there is almost no way for a birdie on most holes.

Other Thoughts:

If you don't like wooded or technical courses this provides a nice break from that. I wish number nine ended closer to the parking area at number one.
