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 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

IDragon
Pros: Wide variety of holes, short, long, uphill, downhill, wooded. Long downhill hole really lets you let it all hang out! Nice mature park, course is beautiful!
Cons: Lots of walking up and down hills, you will get a workout.
Other Thoughts: Park is beautiful!

Ellison is reliable
Pros: Beautiful scenery.
Good variety of hills/left right.
A couple of very nice "capstone" holes (7, 13, 17).
The new rubber tees are nice (but also see cons).

Cons: There are four holes that are closer to par 2 than they are to par 3 (5, 6, 11, and 12). Getting a 3 on these holes seems like a bogey.
The new rubber tee mats are too short for my typical run-up.
There's a lot of swampy ground around holes 1, 17, and 18.
There's a lot of doggy doo on the course.

Other Thoughts: This is a "must play" course in Rochester.
I really enjoyed the upgrades related to World's events in both 1999 and 2011.
Hole # 16 is my favorite. Slightly blind with interesting stepped elevation changes.

Rochester Classic
Pros: Open and easy on most holes. Very playable at all levels of skill. Friendly to newbies (but can be long in certain cases for newbs)
Cons: Wet. Standing water on first when last there, and a lot of it. Tees when I played were not the greatest, but I hear are better now. Some blind shots, but manageable with time and experience.
Other Thoughts: This course reminds me of Morley Field in San Diego and Pendleton King Park in Augusta. Two reasons. The courses layout, which gives you a really nice mixture of shots, and the courses history in the world of disc golf. Each are fixtures and should be sought out by avid disc golfers who want to say that they have played 'historic' disc golf courses.

Beautiful park
Pros: Beautifully manicured park course.
Clean, no trash
Good flow of course with great elevation changes
Nice mix of short and long bombs. Some nice technical lines on a few holes. Challenging pin placements makes you think on a few holes
Just a real nice course to play a casual round or two with friends

Cons: Bad tees. Once they put in concrete I will give this course 4 stars.
Poision ivy vines under the tee on hole 1 is pretty scary
Some areas of potential danger with pin placements and tees due to the openess of the course. Errant shots from players could be a problem.

Pros: very well designed course with great utilization of a number of elements around the park.
awesome course if you like lots of elevation change! plenty of shots going up and down.
good varitety of holes, some very open, some with trees, right break, left break, up, down.
signs on every hole give you a basic idea of what you're in for.
sub shop down the street sells discs! definitely check sonny's out!

Cons: crowded! lots of people really like to play here. sometimes makes for slow play, noise, and potentially getting hit. be prepared to hear and shout "FORE!"
couple spots in the park are almost always wet. stay out of the roughs unless you want wet feet.
tees are gravel, some are really dug out and its hard to get your footing. club is working on them and they're getting better.

Other Thoughts: this course its always a joy to play! watching your discs fly on the downhill shots is a thing of beauty! better tee areas and i would rate this course a little higher.

Good beginner course. Easy going.
Pros: Very easy course to navigate. Each hole is labeled along with a schematic with catcher location. I first started playing on this course and it was a great one to learn the game on. Very minimal chance of losing disc.
Cons: Too open for me. I'm beginning to prefer a more wooded/challenging course. Always packed.
Other Thoughts: If your looking for an easy going time then this is a perfect course.

Great course, but busy park
Pros: Wonderful course layout, fun elevation changes, and variety. Nice park overall.
Cons: It's in a park, and quite a busy one, at that. This means you'll have to play amongst picnickers, dog-walkers, hikers and cyclists. Watch your shots, and be accurate, lest you hit someone...
Other Thoughts: Although this course is in a busy park, it still should not be missed. It has a lot of fun holes, with unique challenges. You'll like playing here, just do it at off-peak times of day, when the park won't be as crowded.

Pros: Ellison park makes wonderful use of one simple terrain element, a giant sled hill.
The front 9 play across, up, and down a large hill making even seemingly open and simple shots much more interesting.
The wonderful use of the few trees on the front 9 works really well.
The back 9 is where things start to get different. Holes 9,10, and 11 are all shot fun elevation change holes, followed by 12 which is a never ending right to left S turn (great for sidearm and lefties!) that goes DEEP into "woods".
Hole 7 is very much a Signature hole on this course with an Epic tee pad throw out 528' downhill...it's Awesome. You'll eventually just empty your bag on this hole, it's just that fun.
The back 9 has it's signature holes in hole 16 I would say. Elevated tee pad shooting towards a blind basket guarded by some bushes. Good spot to lose a disc in a tree if you don't pay attention.

Cons: People have said it before, and they're not misleading you. Ellison Park needs cement tee pads worse than any other course in the area...maybe anywhere.
These tees are well used, because it's such a fun course that's been around practically forever. Most tees are gouged into the ground a foot or more, and many have secondary tee lines working on becoming just as deep.
Because of the high use of the park by DGers and other folk alike, this park gets a lot of litter strewn about.
This course could be too open for some...but I'm not a big fan of open courses, and I love Ellison Park.

Other Thoughts: GRDGC is working on getting cement tee pads at Ellison right now, in preparation for the 2011 Am Worlds in Rochester, hopefully the few blemishes on this wonderful course can be remedied soon.
Please carry in and carry out your litter, we need to keep our sport on the up and up.
If we can keep the park clean, and get cement tee pads (and maybe the 2-4 signs we're missing) and perhaps different tee levels...
Then Ellison park could be a 4+ rated course.
I believe it can happen, let's make it so!
