(1.438 Rating) A very open park style course with a family friendly atmosphere.
- IT'S DISC GOLF - That's right, for those that live near here, they can now get a quick fix of actual disc golf rather than driving across town to Heritage Park. The course will work perfect for those within a couple miles to get quickie rounds in when time is short. If I lived across the street, I'd be here all the time.
- QUICK PLAY - For a bagger like me, the quick play aspect was the course's best quality. I spent less than 20 minutes on the layout and I took pictures. Super quick solos might be able to run 4 loops in an hour.
- AMENITIES AND EXTRAS - Probably below average among all courses, but adequate for a nine holer. The baskets are MVP Black Holes. The tees are concrete and measure 4ft by 10ft or are sidewalks. Tee (4) even had a poured extension along the sidewalk edge. The park also features shelters, restrooms and a few playground items.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - Adequate course map posted by tee (1). Tees are marked on the pavement only. Some of these tee markings are fading already. I'm sure this will get fixed with simple signs in the near future. Hole numbers at the baskets are ginormous.
- DUAL TEES - I appreciated the dual tee option. I played layout A, and it seemed ideal for players between an 800 to 850 rating. Layout B is a touch easier than layout A, being over 300 feet shorter. I would say both layouts are beginner friendly, but B would be the better pick to introduce someone to the game to, or for family outings.
- NIGHT GOLF - Perfect for moonlit rounds if the park is open. I predict a night league starting here next winter.

Meh land
- MULTI USE HAZARDS - Sidewalks come into at least fringe play on a majority of the holes. I was not a fan of hole (2) which requires plays down the heart of the path. Rounds may not be possible if the park is active. There's potential for lots of activity to be going on around the layout.
- HOLE VARIETY - The area used for the layout is only 7.5 acres. It's also relatively flat and has very few trees. The landscape reminds me of the Calhoun course 30 miles further up on I65. Really not much for the designers to work with on this bland parcel of land. Much of the variety here is derived from gimmicks. I personally don't like fake island holes, unnecessary mandos and unnecessary OB, but I gave much of this a pass (not all), due to the site's natural limitations. The fake island hole on (3) was strangely my favorite hole, although perhaps that was because I tickled the chains on my tee shot.
- GIMMICKY - Briefly noted above under variety, but there are several holes that have unnecessary OB or mandos. Hole (3) was the only hole where it was clearly marked with proper white markings. Anyways, some of the tree mandos noted on the community board are absurd. Go through four mandatory trees on hole (2)? Seriously Wtf. Hole (4) states there's a triple mando using the two trees. I am baffled on how that's possible unless a horizontal beam above hasn't been built yet. Hole (7) states that there's a double mando, but I'm not sure which two trees it's going to be. The mando signs are not up yet, so there's hope they may not get installed. Although, holes (5) and (7) do need at least one mando each for safety reasons. I also don't have any issues with the sidewalks and beyond being OB when used for safety reasons to keep discs out of the street, like on holes (5, 6, 7 and 8).
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - Considering I always score this category ignoring unnecessary OB and mandos, I found the challenge to be Novice level. Wind is going to be the most challenging aspect. There is some modest power required on the 300-foot holes and right handed players will need a forehand to keep out of the street. I played horrible in the snowy, windy and 25-degree weather. It also didn't help that I only packed two discs on my work trip and both discs were understable. As noted in the pros, the course is very beginner friendly and is appropriate for families with small kids.
- LAYOUT FLOW - It's weird with a bunch of unnatural double-backs. Take a picture of the map on first go around.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - I scored the landscape 10 percentile among all courses I've played to date. Again, not much for the designers to work with. It is what it is.

Textbook passable course in my travels. Vinemont offers all the basic elements of the game in a fun beginner friendly format. This is also a very easy get for course baggers traveling along I65. Perfect for families and one-disc beginners. Definitely not a destination course, but if in town, it's worth a spin for numbers padding, but only after tackling the other course in town first, Heritage.

Just about a mile east of Interstate 65, the Vinemont Park DGC takes a mostly flat and empty field and squeezes out about as good a course as possible considering the land available.

The signage for basket numbers is the BEST that I have ever seen. Under each basket is a large sign about two feet high featuring an enormous number (See sample photo under Media). For a course in which numerous baskets can be spotted by looking around, being able to clearly determine the correct number from several hundred feet away is a huge aid to the navigation.

The course designers did an excellent job incorporating as many of the isolated trees and other obstacles as possible. There's a dry creek bed behind the first basket. Hole #3 includes some PVC pipe attached to the ground to create an "island" hole. Hole #5 travels along a row of several trees with the sidewalk and street posing as potential threats. Hole #8 has a few trees dotting the route from teepad to basket and might require a bit of shot-shaping.

Each of the nine holes offers two teepads, so playing an 18-hole round is possible. On a couple of the holes, the teepads are spaced apart and offer a different approach to the basket.

The baskets are Black Hole Gravity from MVP. They feature a narrow banner and lightweight cage, but the chains seemed to catch well when I was putting.

There is some variety regarding distance. Three of the "long" holes are just over 300 feet, while three of the "short" holes are just under 200 feet.

Though there are two teepads per hole, the distance between the teepads isn't that substantial - on about half the holes, the difference in distance is no more than 40 feet. Also, the dual teepads can lead to some slight confusion when you reach the center of the park.

Also, not every hole has actual concrete teepads. For several of the holes, the teepad is designated by a large yellow letter ("A" or "B") painted on the sidewalk that serves as a perimeter for the park. Searching for the intended spot might take a minute. Throwing from the sidewalk isn't an inconvenience, and it's a good economical use of the available space.

By the way, the "A" markings don't mean short. On all but one hole, the "A" teepad is the longer option.

Each basket is placed inside of a circular metal piece with a couple inches of light brown gravel covering the base. This technique is a bit unstable, leading to a couple of the baskets leaning slightly.

There are houses across the small street from two of the teepads. Barring a devastating griplock, these residential areas shouldn't be a concern.

Finally, the course map contains some instructions (see Files) regarding OB and mandos. The OB information is common sense. I'm not sure if the mandos are intended to add challenge or promote safety, but if it's the latter, the mandos are probably unnecessary since you'll likely have the course to yourself.

Vinemont would be an excellent course to bring a beginner. The layout is fairly open and even wayward throws shouldn't result in any trouble. No chance of losing a disc.

The course is simple and straight-forward, but the design maximizes the space, and the course creators should be applauded.
