Course has been updated for easier navigation 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 1, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good place to practice shots or learn to play disc golf. Located 1 mile from I81 exit 146, easy to find. You can play the course as designed or you can use the baskets and create your own path through the baskets.

Cons:

Only 9 holes, too open, needs more trees on holes.

Other Thoughts:

Course has had all tee markers replaced and are easier to locate. Tee markers are now painted bright yellow and contain hole number and distance to the hole. All holes were remeasured before tee markers were redone. Course board has new course map and instructions on how to locate the tees. Each basket has blue and white paint on a spoke in the bottom of basket that points in the general direction of the next tee. Inside the top ring of the basket there is a pointer that points directly at the next tee and lists the number of feet to the next tee. If you check for the markers on the baskets then the next tees are easy to locate. Discussions are in under way with the parks department to add 9 more holes in 2011 as well as planting more trees on the course, improving tees and tee markers.

wide open 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 28, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very open, and well maintained course. Mowed regularly, multiple tees(hard to find your first time). Great course for beginners.

Cons:

Some pins are actually completely unobstructed, making for easy birdies on most holes from white tees, and if you have the distance also on the blues.

Other Thoughts:

The park that this cousre is in is very large, and this could easily be a much tougher 18 if the county went to the expense.
