Baskets Around a Park - Please Pay $5 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 22, 2021 Played the course:once

Other Thoughts:

"Perimeter Park Course '' - 9 inexpensive aging baskets placed around the edges of a huge open park with no tees or signage. The only way to navigate it is to use uDisc - though on uDisc it's a par 27 (vs. a par 36 here) and some distances are clearly wrong.


The layout itself is a loop of 9 baskets. There are a few holes with treed borders, and a few provide some change in elevation. The holes are long, so you're going to be using your drivers. But the only real disc golf challenge is anticipating the effects of wind on your throw. There's so much open space here that it's probably always windy.


The layout was created in 2013, and there's no evidence of any attention since (other than mowing). The park can accommodate many athletic fields, and has mowed paths for dog walkers. If you're playing disc golf here, you'll have to play around these other activities. You'll be that "weird guy with the frisbees."


This is a "pay to play" course with a suggested donation of $5. All the sports leagues probably have to pay to use the fields, so disc golf isn't being singled out. But when I pay, I like to see some evidence that my money is somehow making the course better.


My giving it a "1" reflects my opinion of the layout and experience playing (poor) - pay-to-play is beside the point: it would still be a "1" if it were free.


This is another example of "set it and forget it" found in a lot of parks: put in some baskets and call it a day.
