Pros:
- The Big 3: Two Rivers is incredible in this department. All 18 holes feature big paver tee pads, brand new Veteran baskets, and great new tee signage. Bonus points to the convenient next tee indicator arrows on the bottom of the baskets. The large paver tee pads are often dug into and landscaped into the hill sides (in order for them to be level). This is appealing on the eyes. The new tee signs are awesome as well. All information is included on these: hole number, par info, mandos, OB, pin locations, and next tee info.
- Multiple Pin Locations: This course features an average of a little over 2 pin locations for each hole. I counted 39 total with some holes having 1 location and some with 4. This is a great feature for local players to keep things interesting. Major kudos to this course for the current pin location signage system. Each pin location is assigned a color. Those colors are labeled on tee signage with corresponding par and distance info. Then there is colored tape on the pole below the sign with a bolt indicating the current color/location. This is one of those super cheap, easy things that any course could add and be a big improvement. Hope more courses catch on to this system.
- Parking Area: There is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables, trash cans, and a nice kiosk with a large course map. The course map is awesome labeling pars, distances, and pin location info.
- Turn: This course is a bit of a walker and might get you wanting a mid round break. The course returns close (enough) to the car and pavilion after #8.
- Elevation:This park features nice rolling hills. There are uphill, downhill, and cross slope shots. This helps to break up the openness of the course.
Cons:
- Basic: Two Rivers can feel repetitive and basic at times. There are just not enough trees or other obstacles in play here to give a big sense of good hole diversity. The openness also translates to mostly basic shot shaping. Some well placed shrubs specifically intended for the disc golf course could help to solve this issue in the future.
- Transitions: The biggest issue here is the walk from #9 basket to #10 tee. First timers will most likely spend some time wondering around here. Maybe a "half way there" next tee indicator would help with this. Also, the green for #2 is essentially in the fairway of #3. Great green and tee pad respectably, just a flaw in the flow design.
- Benches: There are no benches featured at the tee boxes on this course (that i noticed at least). With the rolling hills and decently long walk of 18 holes, this would be a huge upgrade to the course.
Other Thoughts:
Not pros or cons:
- Mowing: This course needs and thrives on a fresh mow to have a very enjoyable round. It seems like this is always well taken care of, but I imagine could quickly get out of control with any kind of negligence.
