Pros: Clean course with no bugs, nice and open with some trees. love the sledhill hole. Was a longer course then I thought it would be.
Cons: pretty easy course, no real changes from hole to hole. Really not all that much to complain about though.

Pros: long, mid and shorts are all present. Good for fun or for practice. They have a tee pad ontop of a sledinghill where its a nice throw down. They also have a putting basket that has blocks making distance from 2 - 40 ft away from basket it is very cool.
Cons: kind of in a busy area in public park so you have kite flyers walkers, kids and bikers all who know the course is there but dont pay attention.
Other Thoughts: good course easy to get three or more rounds in.

Pros: - If you dont have much time to play and you want to squeeze in a quick 10.
- Good mix of shots for the limited space.
- Long (400+) and short holes
- A few holes play through mature trees.
- Nice large consistent cement tee pads
- Wind can be a factor
- A large playground for the other family members
- Other park goers seem to actually know whats going on and are courteous
- Nice tee signs
- Practice basket with distance from pin markings spiraling out.
- Very well maintained
Cons: - Flat
- Gets old quick
- Alot of chucker population
- They have several events over the year and holes 7,8, & 9 are essentially unplayable. If you're not a local/townie you won't know about it.
Other Thoughts: I lived close by for a short while and would come here to get field practice and putting practice.
Hole 10 is from the dirt patch by the baseball benches to the practice basket.

Favorite Hole #5 - A 398' shot underneath large mature trees. No real optimal line to the basket withot working the disc hard. Essentially there is 3 main lines to take for RHBH. 1 is a roller. 2 is straight shot with a hard hook to the basket. 3 is a gentle turnover shot. The basket is protected by a tree in front of it and some pines that act as backstop behind it.

Pros: Nice mach3's for baskets, well maintained, even in EARLY early spring, decent distance for most holes. Awesome target practice / putting green.
I love how maintained they keep it.
Friendly locals (being a townie helps)
Very little grafitti
Nice neighborhood
For me it is 2 blocks away, so location is a pro for me.
Love the tees with distances on them
Easy to see pin locations.
Cons: Lack of signage actually on the course (despite easy to see pins and distances on tees people complain and ask where to throw.)
Lots and lots of kids, everywhere, particularly the last 3 holes (playing on the hill, playground, etc.) some of the "gangstas" will touch or throw discs, beware of this. If you see kids on the hill, throw and follow your disc quickly, I can't count how many times I have seen people pick up discs. One time the cops were called due to a confrontation over a touched disc, no one wants that.
Other Thoughts: If you have your number on your disc and it is lost, you will get it back. I am 2 for 2 on having lost discs returned.
Love this course, I am there at least 3 days a week.

 not a bad place

Pros: Good 9 hole layout, wraps around the park, most holes are about 400 feet, well maintained, wood chips around all the baskets, cement tees and nice baskets, each tee give you the hold number and distance. Great little practice basket set up, with blocks buried to give you distances to work on putting, made for a great game after a round to just relax with a friend.
Cons: Nothing really special, no major obstacles, there are trees, but not many, if you can throw a straight shot you're golden here as there is a straight path to all the holes. The teeboxes are aimed a bit off line on some of the holes, just feels a bit off that way.
Other Thoughts: Good multiuse park, last time there had a lot of kids running around, was just completely redone within the last couple years, and the layout is nice, not a bad experience, and on a side of town that doesn't have much in the way of courses. Not worth a special trip, but if you are in the area it isn't a bad course to play.

Pros: Being this is my first time playing I thought it was a easy course. It was nice to walk around and go at my own pace. The people on the course were very courteous.
Cons: There were a lot of kids running around and playing the putting areas. This really is irritating.

 Long fairly open course.

Pros: 1) Beginner friendly in that there aren't too many holes that require specific shots. They are al open enough you can pick your line and throw however you want to.

2) Nice baskets

3) Main challenge on this course is its distance on a few holes. 250' is the shortest which can be out of reach for weaker arms (like me on some days). 3000' for a 9 hole course!!!!

4) Nicely maintained park for sure. It does have a golf course attached to the property so the park workers take care of the disc golf course well also. Has a nice restroom area that looks brand new, and it was unfrotunately locked when I played because I had to pee!
Cons: 1) Not enough variety or challenge except distance.

2) Too open to be a great course but it is well taken care of.
Other Thoughts: Best practice facility I have ever seen. Concrete landscape blocks set into the ground in a spiral around the basket. Each measured in 2 foot increments, so you can throw from 10, then 12, then 14, etc etc etc and I think it goes well above 32'. I would be a solid putter if I had this to challenge me. Throw one from every block until you make it all the way through!!!!!

Pros: Well placed trees on this course make for some very difficult shots on a few holes. There is a good variation in the amount of power needed to get to the hole, with most of the holes needing a pretty hefty drive.
There is one nice downhill drive that claims it is 400 feet but which plays like a 300 foot drive roughly.
This course would be tough for most beginners because they don't have there distance down.
Cons: A little tough to find the first tee if you park in the wrong parking lot. Some of the holes play near a busy street which could pose a safety hazard.

Pros: Open Tees for people that are not very experienced in Disc golf( Like myself ).
Practice putt area for people to up there game. Very easy to find unlike other courses. Concrete tee spot's are nice.
Cons: Alot of people play here so if you want to take your time and play for fun this might make you a little nrevous at least it did for me. There's some construction going on when i played also that made me a little caution on hole 9 i didn't want to hit them this was on 08/26/08.
Other Thoughts: If you want to just play for fun and your new to the sport this is a great place to go.

Pros: Has some holes that will test your distance and a fun downhill shot on hole 8.

Has a practice basket with marked distances that make it ideal for practicing your putting game.
Cons: Busy park, sometimes there are kids in the way of the pin.

Not too much variety, most holes are pretty wide open.
