Ellison Park is a great place to start
Pros: Easy to navigate. Hills offer some nice downhill throws, There are some beautiful and fun holes.
Cons: Some of the holes, i think 8-11 are so close to each other that it can be tricky.
Other Thoughts: Its beautiful, its free, its great exercise and its a great place to get people started on the game. S

Report this Review Rochester Disc Golf's Crown Jewel just outside the city limits
Pros: Rubber tee pads are in great condition and level. Signs at every whole. Mach 3 baskets are in good condition and usually easy to see off the tee pad. There's a map at the front of the course. The course is also in a GREAT location, just over the Rochester city line in a beautiful suburban park with tons of elevation to work with. The grass is well mowed and trees are trimmed back from ground to about 10 feet to keep wooded shots challenging without being unfair. Navigation is easy, next tees are mostly visible from the preceding hole's basket. The course flows well and describes a loop around the park. There are some benches and trash cans available. Restrooms with running water are also on site. The course is quite challenging; mature trees, lots of elevation and some tricky lines as well. Lots of variety in distance too with some totally legitimate par fours. Ellison park is also home to two of the most exciting disc golf holes I've ever thrown: Hole 7 is an epic 500+ foot downhill throw and Hole 16 is a challenging toss down three tiers of landscape with very unforgiving vegetation. The uphill holes here are absolutely relentless. The city has a very strong disc golf culture.
Cons: Some tee pads are a little small. The course can be a little tight, as it's easy to send a wild shot onto a neighboring fairway. A few blind shots from the tee, but 17 is the only one where it's really hard to know what to throw at.
Other Thoughts: While many may argue that Parma is a better course than Ellison, I must say the opposite. This is definitely among my favorites, and it's so great that it's so close to the city. And two of my favorite holes ever are here. As far as I'm concerned, Ellison is the top of the line in the 585.

Pros: Long holes, lots of variables that aren't overwhelming, not overcrowded, Love the tee boxes they put in
Cons: Hole 17 hates me, Cans and bottles laying around in the foliage that A-Hole people don't dispose of properly, a couple baskets are hard to spot in the trees
Other Thoughts: My friends and I have only lost One disc here, a tall tree ate it.

A Great Workout
Pros: Nice layout with plenty of challenging holes. The course is very hilly and you end up with a great workout. The course is pretty open and you have no problem figuring out where to go next.
Cons: The course has a lot of beer bottles, cans, and water bottles laying around. It's sad that people playing this course feel the need to throw their trash on the ground. The only other gripe I have about this course is that it was very crowded. Lots of people were playing here and we frequently had to wait to play each hole.
Other Thoughts: It's a good course, not a great one. If it were better maintained and was less crowded, I would have definitely given this course a higher rating.

good for beginners and pros alike
Pros: - good use of elevation (also a con)
- good tee pads
- signs with distances and tees
- nice an open so it is good for beginners
- has a lot of history being one of the first disc golf courses
- very easy to navigate
- holes flow one after the other, no long walks between holes
- 2 or 3 nice holes that stand out 7,8,16
- bathrooms in the parking lot
- good tee pads
- signs with distances and tees
- nice an open so it is good for beginners
- has a lot of history being one of the first disc golf courses
- very easy to navigate
- holes flow one after the other, no long walks between holes
- 2 or 3 nice holes that stand out 7,8,16
- bathrooms in the parking lot
Cons: - elevation is also a con because it is tiring to walk up and down hills throughout the front 9
- the course seems bland at times, especially on the front 9
- no multiple tees or baskets that I can find
- the baskets seem smaller than normal (I could be wrong)

Other Thoughts: This is a good course to start on because it is very easy to navigate and a lot of the holes are pretty open so a newcomer might not become as frustrated by having their discs constantly hitting trees. There is also some really long shots so better players can air it out. Hole 7 is one you can air it out going down hill. Hole 16 is also unique with a down hill throw over two layers. I would have rated the course higher if their were more "wow" holes like some of the other courses in Rochester.

Pros: has a nice mix of hilly and flat terrain which make this very interesting to play, no water so good for beginers, forgiving if you have a bad shot,
Cons: Holes and tees to close together make for alot of people yelling fore mainly on the front nine. it gets a bit repetitive, lots of new players
Other Thoughts: this plays like 2 different couses when u hit the back nine it a whole diferent ball game .the back nine has light wooded areas on a few hole which changes up play a bit overal a great course thats very scenic for players,

Classic course is still a challenge
Pros: -Course design is both friendly and challenging
-Classic course has been featured in several Worlds and remains a local favorite
-Addition of rubber tees fixed one of the major gripes from before - terribly eroded dirt tees
-Mix of hills, tightly wooded holes, open wooded holes, open fields, out-of-bounds, hyzer, anhyzer, etc. lets everyone shine and be challenged
-Free parking is adjacent to holes 1 and 2
-Friendly laid back feel while playing
-Very social - someone is almost always playing any time of day, and people are generally very social, friendly and you can tag along with a group if you want, run into pros who are cool about offering advice or tips, etc.

Cons: -Overcrowded on warm days - you can wait a long time to tee off when it's warm and everyone is out playing
-Litter - generally several grocery bags worth to pick up every week and only one garbage can in the entire park that nobody seems to use
-The hilly portions can be very slippery after a rain, the flatter sections can be very squishy and muddy
-Attracts a lot of newbies, which can be annoying when they throw into you, or won't let you play through, etc.
-Baskets are removed in late fall and re-installed in the spring, mostly because people like to sled on holes 7-12 in the winter. It makes sense, but with so few courses on this side of the county, it's inconvenient - would be nice if they'd leave an alternate layout in place in the winter.

Other Thoughts: This is supposedly the 2nd oldest course in the country, and I consider it to be one of the best I've played. The course design is genius - there aren't a lot of barriers to play with, but every tee and every basket are placed to make the most out of every tree, every slant to the topography, etc. Every hole has multiple lines that force you to make smart decisions about how to play. And yet while the course remains challenging for even top pros, new players still have a fun time playing.
The biggest problems with this course derive from the fact that it is so popular - thus there tends to be a lot of litter, the occassional callous/clueless player, etc.

bit of all
Pros: This course has a little bit of it all, tree's, hills, distance and rubber tee pads. Good for skilled players yet forgiving for the noobs. some of the hills are a great workout bcuz they r long and gradual. nicely cleared up and trimmed back
Cons: can quickly fill up with players on a nice day. some hills are a little steep, so for some that arnt in the greatest of shape this may come as a challenge. only a seasonal course
Other Thoughts: designate nine holes for winter players to stay open

Fun park course
Pros: The course plays through a grassy park with scattered mature trees. Most of the course plays on a large hillside, and the design uses the elevation quite a bit to make tough uphill holes, fun downhill bombs, and some tricky sloped greens and landing areas. The course is pretty open, but a few holes have enough trees to make you hit some tighter lines and low ceilings. A few holes at the end have some brushy rough in play to add some punishment for errant shots.
There is a nice mix of hole lengths throughout, especially with the hills adding or taking away from the effective lengths. The few tighter holes call for some different lines to hit, and the wind makes you think a little in the more open areas of the course. The park is nicely maintained, with mowed grass and no trash or vandalism when I played.

Cons: The first two thirds of the course play very open, and get a bit repetitive. The hill shots are fun but there isn't a whole lot of variety or different types of challenges in this part of the course. These holes are also a bit crammed in and with the large numbers of newer players that seem to frequent this course it can be a bit of a safety issue with discs flying across adjacent fairways.
There are no tee signs, just distances painted on the tee pads. This makes it a little unclear where to go next after a few of the holes. A little signage at or between holes would go a long way. The baskets are a little older and don't always catch as well as newer targets. Te tees are a bit lumpy in some spots,though it sounds like they're a major upgrade over the previous situation.

Other Thoughts: This is a really fun recreational course, and it seemed to be one of the most popular area courses. The distances are fairly reasonable, and less accurate throwers aren't heavily punished. More experienced players won't find too many interesting challenges, but it's a great place to play some fun elevation shots.

Pros: Gorgeous, well-maintained course with scenic views. Great variety--you will need all of the shots in your arsenal to score well.
Cons: Navigation can be tough without a map. If you remember, the next tee location is shown on the tee sign.
Other Thoughts: This course is a must play if you are ever in western NY. I am hoping to make a return visit soon.
