An Average City Park Plus Elevation

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

- some decent elevation change incorporated to make this a bit more than just a city park
- disc golf is fairly well isolated in multi-use park
- ample parking
- Innova DISCatcher baskets look brand new
- next tee arrows on baskets are helpful; navigation is clear
- well maintained park; mowed and very clean
- some good length for a 9 hole course requiring decent power drives

Cons:

- natural tees only
- mostly open; limited hazards
- taller grasses lining fairways can make finding discs a bit more difficult
- tee signs only have hole number and par/distance, maps would be an improvement
- a bit of backtracking in the layout, but not too bad
- no numbers on baskets
- holes 1 and 9 throw over a walking path creating a bit of a safety hazard
- middle of course plays very close to ball field outfield walls

Other Thoughts:

Ripp Park in Waunakee is a nice, newer city disc golf course. It has a few rolling hills to add some intrigue beyond the typical suburban niner, but that's about it. There are limited obstacles and limited challenge here. The length is good for a 9 hole course and requires some disc variety, but this is not going to be a destination for anyone. Ripp is suitable for bagging, local play, or a casual round as needed when in the area.

This course should be fairly family friendly, and the park is a nice place for kids with varied activities. Typical park amenities are present, and the disc golf mostly doesn't present hazards to ther parkgoers. This course plays mostly "out and back", heading downhill towards the ball fields in the park and then hiking back up the hill a bit towards the water tower/parking lot.

Some concrete tees and better tee signs would be improvements, but really, for the caliber of course here, it may not be worth it. There's no real X-factor here, but it's great to see the park being kept up so well and it's good to see disc golf in so many communities. This is a good introduction to what the sport can offer for those unfamiliar with it.
