Good beginner course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 1, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great baskets! And they are a different color from the long course. This is a huge plus in my book. I'm not a fan of long and short layouts that have identical baskets since you can accidentally throw to the wrong one.

Nice tee pads with plenty of length for holes this short.

Informative tee signs.

Hole 3, best hole on the course.

Layout is pretty easy to follow. Plus the baskets have arrows in them that point to the next tee. Did I mention that I like the baskets?

Cons:

Besides being short and easy the biggest con is the lack of trees. Only two of the six holes have trees.

This course and the long course have some overlap which is not ideal. To get from the 1st basket to the 2nd tee pad you have to cross the fairway for long hole 1. When I was there it wasn't a big deal but it could be if both courses are busy.

Corn! It shouldn't come into play for decent players, but if it's your first time playing you could easily throw your disc in the corn field. Having to walk around a corn field looking for your disc isn't very fun.

Other Thoughts:

I am a big fan of having beginner course next to hard courses. It is a good introduction to disc golf for new players.

For a rating I am giving this course a 1.5.

Possible improvements- Plant grass in the fairways and keep it mowed. Plant some tree and bushes to force some line shaping. Add some wood chip paths between holes.
