Solid, shared-use 9er 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 11, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Freshly installed course with new Lat64 baskets, concrete teepads, and signage including arrows for next tee location. Fantastic usage of the available space in this grassy park with the few "hills" around used to spice up the layout. The mature trees are used effectively as basket guardians and, alongside a couple ball field light post mandos, shape fairways and add difficulty to a short/medium layout with a couple Ace runs sprinkled in for good measure. A few of the holes have alternate basket placements which adds good variety of lines to hit.

There is one practice basket near the tee for #1.

The park has public restrooms and water fountain.

Cons:

The usual gripes about a busy, shared-use park: oblivious meandering park users, pedestrians on the paved path which boarders almost every hole. Patience is important here.

No real "bomb" hole but you'll need to keep your releases snappy in order to reach the baskets on holes with low ceilings (#1, 3, 6, 8).

Might just be because it's new and has a lot of eyes on it but the course can get busy fast and is often slow-going after 4pm.

Other Thoughts:

Although it is cramped in places and disc golfers will have to yield to other park users and remain courteous, I can't imagine a better layout for this space. Designers did a superb job with limited space in creating a fun and challenging layout.

An Ahwatukee course was long overdue and I'm stoked this is in the ground! Hopefully all goes well here and Desert Foothills Park (larger park W down Chandler Blvd) will see an 18 in the near future!
