Brings down the neighborhood 
Pros: This is in a nice area of town. It is indeed heavily wooded which demands a well-placed shot. Good for beginners to start learning the basics. There is one hole over 300, so there is the opportunity to open up a bit. I think the designers of the course used the small allotment given to them to the fullest. It is just tough to build a great course without much land to work with. You are never too far away from your car as the parking lot runs right up against the first fairway. Hole #2 is a fun little hole - it uses several trees as a barrier to entry. It makes you rethink they way you are going to approach it.
Cons: Not much going on here. Being only 9 holes hurts this course. I can only imagine how hectic it can get if multiple groups are out playing at the same time. It is certainly a putt & approach course. After the "front nine", my friends and I wanted to leave. But we decided to finish out the round. Baskets are in poor, poor condition. The tee signs are barely legible to be able to figure out where to throw next.
This place may as well be considered a swamp. There was no where else in Indy that was even a little bit wet, but Sahm seemed to absorb all of the water from those places. It was soaked. Then with still water comes the bugs. The lack of grass around the basket and tees did not help matters.

Other Thoughts: Sahm has potential if the nice neighborhoods surrounding the park poured some money into this eye-sore. There are too many great courses in Indy to drive to play this. If you live near Sahm, go out for a practice round. Hone your short game, try different shots. If I were living near here, I would hit this up quite often for a quickie round. Dr. James A. Dillon Park is not terribly far from here and I would recommend going there for a much better experience for those more experienced players.

Report this Review Perspective from not-good but obsessed 
Pros: Nice Mature Trees require some accuracy!
The distance holes have trees/a road/woods..these obstacles Will bite your disc. (I haven't hit a car..but...I Have had a car run over a bouncing disc..oops)
P Dept maintains the course well: grass is always cut.
Good learning course...beginners can try alternate approaches.
but still a test for good disc-ers...I think..I wouldn't really know til I am one..so nevermind.
LOTS of players..you are never alone

Cons: HEAVY use has an effect...dust or mud surrounds tees depending on conditions...recommend a habit of hanging your bag on tee signs.
While the tee signs are in such shape bad that replacement is the only option.. I couldn't care less about that.

Other Thoughts: I may be wrong but I believe that Gary Gaskins help DB design this course...I'm thinking I read that on another site.
I absolutely Love this course for one reason: It's 5 minutes from my place of employment.
I play it at lunch.
I play it on my way home.
I've stopped on my way to work.
If you see a bald guy wearing a tie..looks like he left his suit coat in his trunk..say hi.

Good Course 
Pros: the park is nice. plenty of shade from mature trees. well kept grounds. the course is pretty fun. this is primarily an accuracy course. there are a few holes with more distance, but good shot placement is still key. its a fairly easy course. intermediate players should shoot well under par.
Cons: its only a 9 hole course with dual tees. the "back 9" tees only offer slight differences. it can get sorta crowded too. id bet this is the most popular course in town.
Other Thoughts: i like this course.

Pros: Great neighborhood course, good mix of distance, makes you work on accuracy-for amateur, Concrete tees.
Cons: Some locals call it swamp park,after ANY rain wear boots. You will need them halfway down fairway #5,most of #6,#8,#9.Flat,with underbrush on #5-if you throw past basket-#6,#7.
Other Thoughts: A little history; the course was installed in 93, the original layout was much better than what it is today. Over the years dead,dying,diseased trees had to be cut down. Rumor has it a redesign is in the works due to more dead, dying and diseased trees being removed soon. The parks dept planted trees, with NO consideration about how it would effect the course. Indy parks would not o.k. The expansion of the course into the woods.

Pros: -It's a nice, clean park with mature trees as the description says, I enjoyed the natural/scenic aspect of this course.
- The people in Indiana are so nice! I found this to be true in the other courses I played here as well. Very forgiving and helpful and just overall nice people.

Cons: - The signs and baskets are all rusty and falling apart (I'll upload pictures when I get back from my road trip)
- Tons of people + only 9 holes = discs flying everywhere and lots of waiting and rushing = not too fun.
- The last 3 holes/baskets were right by a road with a lot of traffic. I was really worried about hitting the cars or landing on the road that I always completely messed up my shots. :/
-Didn't take advantage of the whole park. This park had potential, but it didn't really live up to it's potential.
-The dual tees don't really add anything to it. They're only about 10 feet apart.

Other Thoughts: I played this course after I played Dr. James A Dillon course and it's more wooded but that's about it...if you're in the area, go to JAD park and spend your time there. :)
Some pics of the park for those interested:
Basket 4/13. Pretty rusted and bad condition. :(

Its ok 
Pros: -Multiple tee pads for each hole
-Variety of short and long holes
-A shelter and spot to grill in park
-Mature trees make for skill shots
-The multiple tee pads allow for 2 very different shots at the pin (the shorter tee is usually harder)
-A secluded feel even though it is next to a road
-Course can easily be played in half an hour

Cons: -Right next to a fairly heavily trafficked road
-Can be swampy in parts
-Possibility of losing a disc because you have long drives next to the woods(small chance though)
-People's drives often go onto the fairways of other holes which gets annoying
-No grass in some spots

Other Thoughts: This course is pretty decent for working on skill shots and straight drives. There are also a few holes that are definitely aceable.

Pros: Nice wooded 9 hole course with dual tees to make 18. Couple of holes over 300 feet and a good course to practice for tournaments that have tight tree-lined fairways.
Cons: Baskets in need of repair and one basket had a car hose clamp to fasten the chains in place. Tee signs need work.
Other Thoughts: Nice little course that pros would not have trouble with, but if you are a hair off with your line, you will catch a tree early and the birdie opportunity goes by the wayside. Course is very flat also.

I Love This Course
Pros: Lots of trees make it a challenge in some places. Much more challenging for LHBH players (grouped trees on the left, a dog-leg left hole).
Cons: Only 9 holes (although there are dual tees which offer some alternative strategy on some holes). Awful muddy mess after a good rain.
Other Thoughts: This is my home course as I live right down the street. I learned everything I know on this course and that's one of the reasons I love it. I think the more you play it the more fun it becomes. It will never give you the satisfaction of a Washington Park, but it offers some decent challenges on a tiny course that you can get through in no time. I'm a LHBH thrower and there are significant issues for LH players such as a dog-leg left that has a huge tree blocking your path to the fairway. Hole 2 also offers a LH challenge with a large group of trees blocking the hole from the left. Probably not that big a challenge for pros but it's a great place to "cut your teeth" as a beginner/intermediate player.

Decent Course 1 6/18/2008 6/18/2008
Review By: edge3281 Played: 7 Reviewed: 5 Exp: 5.8 Years
This review was updated on 12/10/2008
Pros: Great course to cut your teeth on. Most of the holes are pretty easy. Even though it has dual tee pads and they are relatively close together you have to play the holes slightly differently from each tee pad.
Cons: Almost completely flat. Very muddy when it rains. Bring your bug spray. Fairways are right next to each other so you have to watch out for players that are teeing off on an adjacent fairway.
Other Thoughts: There are a decent amount of trees on the course and you have to take them into account on a few holes right off the tee pad. Overall this isn't a great course for those that have played for a while and not worth going out of your way to play. There are other courses in the Indy area that I would recommend over this course. One of which is Dr James A Dillon Park in Noblesville.

Not that fun
Pros: Lots of trees creating a challenge on certain holes.
Cons: No elevation, often wet and muddy after rain, not much variety on shots, not much fun.
Other Thoughts: This course is about 2 miles from my house, yet I've played every other course in Indy much more than this one. This just isn't a great course, I usually don't play the 18, just the 9 since it's just dual tees.
