Nothing special...
Pros:
+ SHORT COURSE: 9 holes are good for when I want to throw a quick round.
+ PRACTICE MIDRANGE: Hole 7 is the only long shot. The all the others I throw a Buzz (midrange driver).
+ LOW TRAFFIC: Occasionally will have to wait for a group of kids, but typically not overly crowded.

Cons:
- CRAP: wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty, there is goose crap all over Lamar.
- NOT CHALLENGING: As previously noted, this is a practice course at best. Doubt there will never be talk of tourneys here. Hole 9 has a pond, that is the only challenge.
- FORE!: Hole 3 often has people eating on the benches that lay just right on the line between the tee and the hole.

Other Thoughts:
* LAYOUT: Hole 5 is difficult to see the pin. Its located past the pond to the right. The first time or two, I threw to pin 6 from tee 5... butt u b more smarter then me and will figure it out. ;D

Pros: Easy for beginners, easy to navigate, was faily clean.
Cons: Too many people in the park on peak hours, very flat and not much of a challenge overall. No distance readings on any of the concrete tee boxes and there are no signs on the holes- the numbers are on the tee boxes.
Other Thoughts: Not a very exciting course. When I played people were just walking right in front of us paying no heed. Picnic tables all over can get in the way. There are better options nearby.

Meh
Pros: The course plays around other activities in a flat city park. The grass was mowed and the park seemed generally well kept when I played. The concrete tees were in good shape, as were the baskets, and the flow is easy to follow even without tee signs. A few holes bring some trees into play, making you think about the line you want to hit. A creek and pond are in play to add some fun challenge, the last hole has the pond all along the left side waiting to punish you for hyzering out. There is a mix of hole lengths, with some ace runs and one hole that offers a chance to air out a long drive.
Cons: Other than a few holes, the course is wide open. You don't have to throw anything but a hyzer to be successful and there's almost no punishment for errant shots. The long hole is a fun chance to air out a drive, but feels a bit out of place on an otherwise beginner oriented course, many of the locals seemed bored playing that hole. There is a very long walk from the 9th hole back to the parking lot, there wasn't really any other option with the other park activities, but it's still not ideal. Some holes shared space with picnic areas, potentially a safety issue on a nice day.
Other Thoughts: Beginners will enjoy the generally reasonable distances and lack of punishment on errant shots. There are a few trees in play to make it more interesting for newer throwers. More experienced players won't find a ton of challenge, and there aren't really many different skills tested here.

Simple, but nice
Pros: -Good for begginers who are just starting or have some practice
-There are some fun obstacles that are placed in the park in some holes
-Easy not to get lost in this place since its pretty much open areas
-Some wide areas good for long drives

Cons: -Its not close to my house, so car is really the only way to get there.
-Theres a hole with some water that you have to throw your disc across, its not to wide, but make sure you throw hard anyway

Other Thoughts: -There are friendly people at this park as far as Ive met.
-In the park a baseball diamond about in the middle and right near one of the holes.
-Also since Ive only been there once, I cant say for sure, but it doesnt seem to get overly crowded.

lamar par Pros: you have the opportunity to stretch your arm out there. at times you can find that there is only a few people playing at 1 time on the course.
Cons: like the rest of grand rapids it's not very technical. there is 2 holes with baseball field next to it and if you hit a home run there is no easy way in.

Lamar
Pros: A nice quick round if pressed for time as this is a 9 hole course. Cement tee pads with hole number and par listed. Park is well maintained. Some short holes to warm up with, ace and birdie opportunities. Holes 3,4,5 play with a creek and pond, but avoidable water hazards. Hole 9 plays with a pond on your left, but able to throw away from as well.
Cons: Sometimes crowded with first few holes in main picnic area. Some areas of goose poop on some water holes.
Other Thoughts: good for a fast round, would like to see more holes added. If you play par as listed on the pads, won't be too much trouble for you. I played as everything par 3, and hole number 7 is a challenge as it is over 600 ft in distance.

Pros: Very nice park. easy to navigate. a lot of short holes combined with a very long driving hole. can quickly play a round. concrete pads with par and distance written on pad. Water comes into play on a few holes to make some shots challenging.
Cons: Pedestrian traffic on the first few holes. one day i even saw someone set up his grill right on the tee pad of the first hole.can be really very busy on weekends in the summer.
Other Thoughts: Its a really nice park. easy to play a quick nine holes. Hole 7 has been shortened up to midway behind ballfield. It is definitely parable now. I work nearby and can stop by and play a quick round on my way home.

Pros: Some short holes to start to get your game rolling. Longer/tougher holes start at hole 4. Enough variety to keep you interested. I got my start at this course.
Cons: Water traps at 3,4,5, and 9, although 3 and 4 shouldn't be an issue unless your disc slips. In the summer there is alot of parties hosted at the park which may or may not interrupt your play at holes 1,2 and 3

Pros: Beautiful Park--Lamar park is really a beautiful park with baseball fields, tennis courts, splash pads and a LOT of ammenities.
Risk/Reward--Kind of nice to have a little risk/reward where the risk isn't too high.
Flow--flows well, no real chance at getting lost.
Tee Pads--Large clean pads, marked with hole number and par.

Tee Pads--Large clean pads, marked with hole number and par.
Cons: Flow--no tee signs, just pads with numbers on them.
9 Holes--There is so much room at this park for 18 holes. City of Wyoming just needs to nut up and do it.
Water--water is almost too easy to get over on the first couple water holes and a bear to avoid on the last, ask Sgamerp...
Hole 7--seems out of place, it's hugely long and open on a short course and there's no good way to get into the baseball field on the left if you lose a disc.
Busy park--lots of waiting for unwary people to move out of the way to throw.

This review was updated on 9/14/2012
Pros: A lot of nice shots. It's not really geared toward one type of shot like some places can be. Water makes it very fun. tree placement on most holes makes it easy for a begginer to learn. A nice long one for people to rip and grip it. Not really busy.
Cons: Hole 7 has a Baseball Diamond and the road which get in the way(being the lucky guy i am i threw into the road and then from the road to the diamond.) Short and not really dificult for most besides that hole. Hole 2 if you over throw it you'll be in the drink.
Other Thoughts: Seeing as this is 10 minutes from my work it's definatly a good place to come. It's nice cause theres water and it's really quick. When i went out I played with two guys who know it well so I didn't really get lost(although it's pretty easy to find your way around) When i went I got a new disc cause some guy over threw hole 2 and landed in the back pound and didn't want to get it. So i said if he was gunna lose it i'd grab it and he said that was cool.
