-Innova Discatcher baskets
-Concrete tees
-Tee signs are accurate with helpful maps
-Remnants of "next tee" signs on baskets, but many are broken. Still helpful because they point in the right general direction
-Wide variety of shots
-Multiple tee positions for over half the holes
-Water comes in to play for a few holes. Good chance to test your bravery!
-Lots of parking
-Bathrooms and water nearby, but part of the baseball complex

-This is truly a multi-use park. We played on a Sunday during baseball season, so most of the parking was full, there were many pedestrians that were at risk during play, and quite a bit of driving traffic to watch out for especially in the first few holes
-One hole actually plays over the corner of a parking lot. Not a fan of throwing over a stranger's vehicle
-Quite a few long walks between holes, hard to navigate without GPS
-Many tee pads are very slippery when wet
- A few of the wooded holes are very grown up and need maintenance, and the longer "professional" tees have brush in the way or the fairway is unreasonable.

This is an overall good course, especially to have outside of a large city like Columbus. Parts of the course seem poorly planned, but was on average fun to play. An improvement in upkeep would really improve the quality of play. I really enjoyed the jeopardy that the water carries created, allowing for decisions of brave lines or safe approaches. The conflicts of the multi-use park may be a bit of an issue, so I'd recommend not playing at times that the baseball fields will be in full use. I'll likely be back the next time I pass through Columbus!

Dean Barbo and team has worked with the folks at Roger Reynolds (the old name for the replaced nine holer) park to expand their existing course to a rambling 18 hole course consisting of dual tees and baskets on just about every fairway, resulting in a course that will likely satisfy players from Recreational to Advanced skill levels. Hole distances and lines of flight range from 170' to 401' from the short tees, and 211' to 567' from the longs, and incorporated open, tightly wooded, and curved shot requirements. The course seemed to slightly favor shots that fade right to left (which suits the largest population of players, statistically), as the course roams counter-clockwise around the entire perimeter of this large, multipurpose park (there are ball fields, ponds, a water park, playgrounds, tons of parking, etc. etc.)

Brand new discatcher baskets and decently sized, level, flush-mounted concrete tees and excellent signage (at the short tees) make this a solid course in terms of infrastructure. After starting out with seven park-like holes well maintained by the general park staff, the middle section of the course tend to play slightly shorter but includes a good amount of technical woods and water challenges and gut-checks. One of the prettiest holes has got to be 15, where the challenge from the long tee is to throw cleanly to the short, and then over the corner of the pond to a beautiful basket position beside a couple of trees and boulders.

In all, the course is greatly expanded and improved, making it one of the better tracks on the eastern outerbelt of Columbus.

Don't expect elevation, even if the hole listings here are marked that way. No hole has more than four or five feet of slope, though the best is probably the little rise knoll tucked into the corner before the marsh on 11. Maybe hole 1 from the long tee does slope down a little more. DO expect some significant walking between holes (600' between 7 and 8, 400' from 14 to 15 (short), and again from 16 to 17. Though I used the map, I kind of expected to see some 'next tee' indicators where it's not obvious. Eventually, I noted that information may be on the previous tee signs.

Oh, and the signs are going to need revision to incorporate alternate pin locations (as early as hole 2, I noted the 340' I paced out was not quite the 228' indicated on the sign!) I noted there were no signs yet at the long tees, but they really do not appear to be played yet, either, as the rough is not cleared on the fairways from the long tee in numerous places (especially long 4). Also, it may have been due to recent summer storms, but the wooded holes (8,9&10) were choked with underbrush and debris. I don't mind the tight wooded lines, but have always felt that discs landing inside circle 1 should be easily found).

There were a couple of places where I felt the design lacks safety considerations, mostly around the ponds (holes 12-16), where the fairway is the walking clearing alongside the scenic water, and you might not see a 'civilian' before you throw. The most concerning to me was the ace run hole 13, where the basket is alongside a heavy, tall rough (left side) in the summer, and the paved path encircling the ball fields is a place where someone on a bicycle could easily pop out from the left just as your disc arrives on the green.

I arrived along the north side of the park using Scioto Darby Road, and kept looking for a street sigh for "Veteran's Memorial Drive". Never saw that. Just turn in at the sign for "Municipal Park". Speaking of which, "Veteran's has already been used for a disc golf course, in a town that starts with the letters h-i-l-l-, no less. Perhaps the course could be listed as either Roger Reynolds or Municipal, though I suspect the latter has also been used a few times on DGCR.
