Why?
Pros: Best course around to practice looking for discs.
Cons: -Rarely do you throw the route of the fairway.
-If you don't see exactly where your disc goes into the rough, you probably will be seaching for a while.
-No really memorable holes.
-If you don't see exactly where your disc goes into the rough, you probably will be seaching for a while.
-No really memorable holes.
Other Thoughts: This course is probably best played by little kids who can't throw very far. If the disc only goes 100 feet, you probably won't lose sight of it. Not worth checking out. Many other courses in the area that are worth the time.

Okay course, Has potential...I guess
Pros: There are tee pads
"Technical" shots. I use the term technical loosely, because there's really long overgrowth in the rough that make shots impossible if you're not very accurate.
There are a good amount of trash bins.
Discatcher Baskets
Okay use of elevation

Cons: The tee pads are short, but they aren't impossible to use.
Navigation is hard, some baskets you can't see from the tees, and although the baskets are numbered, you can only see the tiny numbers from close up.
Distances on the signs are waaaaay off, I mean not even close.
Very easy to lose a disc, lost one in the brush on hole 3, though there was a few inches of snow.
Overgrowth on rough, see above.

Other Thoughts: I've played this both in the summer and in the winter. There are holes in the summer that are almost impossible unless you can throw perfectly accurate or are willing to search through the hell that is ten million pricker bushes in the thick rough. Definitely not recommended for beginners, but you can have a decent time if you are careful and not crazy with your shots.

Pros:
Top quality new baskets. "Heritage Hill Playground, a 30,000 square foot playground" and plenty of other activities for non-golfers.

Cons:
The distance and the location of the basket listed on the tee signs often seemed quite misleading. Concrete tees too short/narrow. Single tee/pin position. High chance of disc loss in high grass!

Other Thoughts:
Plays in the gently rolling, mostly open with small trees, bits of forest, land that composes the side of a very large public park. A long, continuous, hedged-lined right-turner greets you has hole #1. A moderate-length straight toss with a pretty pond to the left describes hole #2, and #3 is straight, requiring a little right-n-left hook at the end, as two lines of trees are pinching in from both sides. The safari begins at hole #4, as each hole, some quite long and up-n-over small rises (causing you to lose sight of your disc), have fairways that are 15'-wide swaths cut through waist-high grass (also causing you to lose sight of your disc). There's also the random small tree which may take yoru disc off its intended path. Despite having multiple spotters with me, spent quite a bit of time looking for discs, especially on #7 (bushes and trees to contend with in addition to the grass) and #8 (quite long, blind over a rise, right-turning, multiple small trees, i.e. all sorts of ways to lose sight of your disc).
Navigation: Follow the paved path out the end of the parking lot, then look for tee-1 and basket-9 to your left through an opening. Map was fairly accurate for finding next tee/basket.
With nine more holes in the future, as indicated by the map, and the grass at a reasonable height, probably during the non-summer months, this will likely be a decent course, but currently as a summer-time 9-holer, only come here if you enjoy looking for, and quite possibly losing, discs.

Pros:
~Secluded, natural, peaceful setting.
~Pristine baskets (I assume because nobody plays this course, for reasons indicated below)

Cons:
~Essentially non-playable during the growing season as any disc that veers left or right ends up in high vegetation.
~Spent more time looking for discs and tee pads than actually playing the game.
~Each hole (except for #2) consists of a 15' wide mowed strip of land surrounded on each side by 2'-3' high brush making this course extremely unplayable by anybody who can't tee off with expert precision.
~Concrete tee pads are only 6' long.
~Would never have found the course in the park had it not been for the notes on this site.
~Did not complete round due to spending too much time wading through the brush chasing down almost every shot.

Other Thoughts:
May revisit during the Autumn, Winter and/or early Spring to see how it is without the high brush.
Hole No.'s 1, 2 and 3 are somewhat playable (use a mid-range for 1 and 3 to be safe) as they are the only holes that provided me with a fighting chance of not losing a disc off the tee. No. 2 is the only hole with an open fairway and is actually rather nice as it's located next to a bog. Everything after is simply throwing a disc over a single wide mowed strip of land surrounded by dense vegetation.
With so much land to roam in this park, I'm baffled as to why they crammed 9 holes on top of one another in this small of an area.
Throwers beware on this course.

Pros: -Fresh baskets.
-Concrete teepads for every hole. Multiple benches and trashcans spread throughout the course.
-Some holes are pretty fun. There are some enjoyable lines to throw on the drives from 1, 2, 5 and 4 and others provided you keep it in the fairway.
-Various amenities include large playground, miles of walking paths, clean restrooms, basketball and tennis courts, farmers market and pleasant scenery.
-There's a good mix of left and right turning shots. While most the holes are short and easy to reach with a putter, the course does feature two long holes that are longer than most players can reach in a single drive.

Cons: -An absolute jungle of thorn bushes over the entire course, along with 4' high grass surrounding every fairway. Staying on the fairway is essential to being able to play the course without spending 30 minutes searching for errant throws.
-Teepads are undersized. Take 1/3 off your typical teepad's length and that's what Boettler has. Not a huge deal since the holes are so short but it's there.
-The teesigns are a joke. Some of them give distances that are off by over 200' and don't even accurately depict the line the hole takes. Just ignore them.

Other Thoughts: I raised my score because the course has improved slightly as of 9/18/11.
The course overall was mowed a little better than my last visit, which was some time ago. Particularly I noticed 3's fairway had much fewer thorn bushes in the middle of the rough, and 5's putting green had been cleared out better.
Also all the tee signs have been moved so they are no longer directly to the right of the teepads, removing one of the courses biggest annoyances.
There are still much superior courses surrounding Boettler Park, but in its current shape it can be a fun 9 hole course if you're careful with your drives.
I've heard rumors before about the city planning to expand the course to 18 holes but I've seen nothing to indicate they're doing this anytime soon.

Decent, has potential 
Pros:
• Brand new DISCatcher baskets
• Nice, clean park & course
• Relatively easy to navigate for first-timers
• Secluded for the most part from other park activities

Cons:
• Tee signs are *very* inaccurate. The distances are all over the place and the maps are very generic, almost not even worth having them.
• Hole #8 would have been a cool hole if I knew where it was.
• Some holes are a bit confusing, and a bit of overlap on the drives.
• Tees are too short/small, but better than nothing I suppose.

Other Thoughts: This course has potential. If it was a full 18 with some technical holes on the back nine, it could be a cool course.
I'd say if you are in the area or it's on the way to another local course, it's worth a round. But as far as a specific visit to play, it's nothing special.

Please add the final 9!
Pros: -shiny innova disc catcher baskets
-concrete tee pads
-no long walks between tees
-on the way to massillon and arboretum dgc's
-hole #9 ends at hole one so multiple rounds are easy to do
-good sings direct you to tee one from park entrance
-easy to find, nice park with everything you could need

Cons: -only 9 holes (could easily fit 18 and i hope they do)
-signs are a good thought but wrong distances and even wrong layouts
-pricker bushes all over the place (don't wear shorts!)
-numbers on baskets are very small/hard to see
-not very difficult (compared to medina, massillon, wooster and other courses in the area)
-windy (i hate that)

Other Thoughts: almost aced hole #8 from #7's teepad, which i didn't realize until i got up to my disc that i was shooting at the wrong basket. this sort of thing is probably common for first timers here as on many holes you can see baskets which are not the proper ones.
if 9 more holes are added i think this course would get another star, the potential is def there. I would suggest making alternate pin positions to increase the difficulty.
overall, a reasonable pit stop to warm up before heading to massillon or arboretum

Pros: Good course in terms of variety. 8 was a great hole, a true par 4 and one that makes you want to come back. Lots of little trees add challenge to a relatively open course and make the course play longer than the distance. I took a first timer to the course and before we'd finished the first round he said "can we play another one?" For whatever that's worth. I enjoyed it as well, and I've been playing for awhile.
The park itself looks pretty awesome with good amenities. There were trash cans at every hole and the course was clean and look well kept up. A good course to bring the whole family to.

Cons: Tee pads were pretty small. It didn't affect me that much, but on some of the longer holes I was definitely thinking about it. Tee signs distances almost made things worse than not having them there at all. There are several holes that switch back and not knowing the course and knowing that the distances were inaccurate made it a little frustrating. A couple of times we threw at one basket and then figured out where we were actually supposed to be throwing. Some of the fairways and bakets/tees are too close together. It didn't matter on a day like today, but when the course gets more popular there's defiintely going to be issues especially with 9's basket and 1's tee.
Other Thoughts: I know it's a new course so I'm giving my judgement of it with that in mind. It will get better. I can't wait til its 18 and some of the trees have grown in and hopefully the tee signs will get reworked.

Meh
Pros: Course has it's own little area, very little traffic from other park users.
Cons: Some holes still have terrible distance/par's listed.
Park Rangers there are complete morons and watch you like you've commited some sort of crime for using the park.

Concrete Tees are IN!! 
Pros: Course is starting to take shape. Signs and tees have been moved to correct the distance. Concrete tees were added on 7/18.
Cons: Still only 9 holes but they are planning on adding the additional 9 when they are completed with the first 9. Still TOO many bees!
