Pros:
Watson Lake Park, located just outside Prescott, is is a fairly large county? Park next to Watson Lake. Watson Lake stretches around the hills for quite some length and has some extremely beautiful shoreline. There is now a $3 day fee to enter the park.
The little 9 hole disc starts out near the parking lot by the lake. There are restroom facilities close by. The pads are rubber mats. Most are flat although a few are a little bumpy. There is a basic Course Rules sign at the start. The tee signs are very basic metal simply stating the hole #, no par or distance or route. The baskets are new DGA models.
#1 plays 310' up a hill through some high desert trees and scrub brush.
# 2 sign is missing but it's 225'.
# 3 is a 225' ACE run to a basket slightly downhill.
# 4 is 254' up a slight incline with a little anhyser needed.
# 5 is the signature hole on this course. From the tee, you're overlooking the lake and distant mountains. The baskets is 355' down before you.
# 6. 385 Flat, open and kinda boring. You're starting back towards the car now.
# 7. 300' throwing back slight downhill to the lake, open all the way.
# 8 is 259' is slight uphill heading back towards the parking lot again again. The basket is tucked into some bushes on this hole.
# 9 is 239' with the basket surrounded by bushes both front and back.
Cons:
Missing sign on # 2.
$3 fee to enter park might keep some players out.
Besides # 5, course lacks personality.
Other reviewers have mentioned difficult footing. I have to agree, it's not exactly enjoyable to walk on.
Other Thoughts:
Decent enough course considering the fact, I believe, it's the only basket course in the area. I enjoyed the course enough that I'd come back and play it again. Watson Lake has some lovely areas to explore. # 5 is a fun hole. The rating is currently a little high (2.83) due to HBB. I was torn between a 2 and 2.5. The 2.5 I gave it was generous but I'm notoriously generous with these easy recreational courses because they fit me like a glove.
