Pros: *The Boise area should be loaded with dg courses, but it's not. It's nice to have this 9-hole neighborhood course as an option.
*The course design makes nice use of trees and other obstacles.

Cons: *Hole 3's tall grass is a black hole for discs. Not in a cool way.
*It's difficult to spot all the tee pads and baskets. I had to make some tough calls on where to throw, and was ultimately unconvinced I had played all the holes as designed.

Report this Review 9 hole course with 4 great holes.
Pros: Holes 4, 5, 6, and 7 are great, the rest are pretty good. Hole 4 is short with some consequences if you go deep. hole 5 is weird. I played it down the canal through the gap. the hyzer line would be tough. Hole 6 is amazing, lots of ways to play the hole and a well guarded basket. 7 is fun and can be played a variety of ways.
It would be easy to make some mandos and or o.b. on 5, 6, and 7 and make the holes play much differently for a second time through.
All the grass is mowed, the park is really nice.

Cons: Hole 2's tee-pad. It is easily remedied by throwing from the path. One porta john at hole 1 makes for a long walk to the bathroom from anywhere else on the course.
Other Thoughts: I liked this course a lot and will play here again. Wish it was closer to where I live in Boise. I wish Boise would build some nine holers like this to take pressure off Ann Mo and provide relief from the chuckers that seem to always be at ann mo.

Pros: Nice grass, open style of holes. Boring with exceptions for an advanced player, much too long with terminal water hazards for beginners. I hunted for a disc on #3 for 15 mins. in the thick, flattened grass. #s 4-6 are the best holes, but with consequences of losing a disc. No elevation, few trees.
Oops, I forgot, this is the POSITIVE section of the review. Hmmm...when some of the vegetation matures, the course will improve somewhat, but that may take years. If I lived in the neighborhood I'd create alternate hole layouts that were more entertaining. Quality baskets, decent grass. A bathroom. That's all I got.

Cons: Can be very windy. Few obstacles/variations of holes. No alternate pin placements. Little escape from the sun. Terminal water hazards for discs. In view of 200+ residents at all times. Tee #2 is so slanted downhill I could not throw from it. A dud.
Other Thoughts: If you're passing through and need a disc fix, try to stop at Ann Morrison in Boise instead. If you live in Nampa, you have my sympathies.

Sloppy Wet Muddy Lost Disc
Pros: Nice layout, some approach shots near inpossible. Some holes point to point with little naural obsticals.
Cons: Overwatered, some tough holes, disc snatching canal on #8. Lightning Hyzer floaters don't float. Deep mud in the anal beds too.
Other Thoughts: Not a course for a rookie. First 6 holes ok for the beginner.

Challenging for a neighborhood course
Pros: Several challenging holes, unique holes. Fairways well maintained. Not busy. Very well marked with signs and tee pads.
Cons: A number of the holes are boring. Of the 9, about 4-5 are good; the others are filler. Not for beginners. Disc eating canals and overgrown plants (in the canals). Difficult to find the park as it is surrounded by subdivisions. However, course is easy to find once you get to the park.
Other Thoughts: I live very close to this course and play it very frequently. I enjoy the course; worth playing more than once. Great course to practice on. Much more challenging than the nearby West Park course.

Pros: Osborne is a pretty average neighborhood park which nevertheless has a couple of interesting features and a great hole I profile below. While there aren't really many obstacles in terms of elevation, trees, or water; the designers have done a nice job of using what was available. The first section plays mostly over open fields and very young pines - the main hazards here are wind and the creek bed if your shot is very errant. The second section has more trees which force wider lines - this is definitely the best part of the course and includes a few short shots into or around thick stands of pencil trees. Finally, the course concludes with several more relatively boring open field holes.
SuperHole: After playing a bunch of pretty mediocre holes, hole six seems like it was accidentally dropped here from a championship course. Listed as 519ft, six plays as a moderately tricky par four with a pretty clear landing zone which is split in half by a small creek. From there, a tricky stand of small trees protects the pin from errant approach shots.

Cons: As I mentioned above, most of the course just doesn't have interesting terrain features such as elevation or fairway defining trees. Course designers have done a good job maximizing available obstacles but, overall, Osborne still stands as a rather bland beginner-level course.
Other Thoughts: There are some really strange neighbors on the corner of the park who, as we entered, were staring at us through their sliding back door for at least a full 60 seconds straight. Within minutes we could see a park pickup was scoping out our parked car (with Washington plates). Not sure what this was all about but we were practically on the other side of the course when this was all happening.

Osborne Park

Pros: Osborne Park has nice green grass, good baskets, tee pads and signs and is easy to navigate. Most of the holes have only a couple of trees with holes one, two, eight and nine really lacking in the obstacle department. Osborne Park starts out bland with a wide open long bomber hole but starts to get much better by hole three. Holes three through seven are the really enjoyable holes that make up for the open and boring starting and ending holes. Hole three is a blind shot through the tree towards a basket on the other side, kind of fun throw. Four is a shorty but protected by trees and the creek running in the background but this is your best chance for an ace on this course. Five is an interesting double fairway that potentially throws over the creek and hole six is one of the cooler looking par five holes I've seen.
Cons: I wish that some more trees were in play for the aforementioned starting and finishing group of back to backers. I'm not sure I like the distances they are for being a par four, it seems like a three or a four is way too easy to achieve on these holes with fives coming much less often.
Other Thoughts: I'm not really sure how much more could be done to really make this course all that much better. If there were some more trees or any trees involved in some of the longer par fours this course could be something spectacular. This is a solid nine hole course and an interested option in the area if not just to play the fun par five and check this course off your list.

Not for beginners
Pros: A few great holes
Good lay out with some variance
Defiantly the best course in Nampa right now
Manageable water hazards

Cons: I wouldn't want to play in the summer with he canals full
the first few holes are a little bland
the first few holes are a little bland
Other Thoughts: I played with a few novice friends who were still learning to control their discs, thus i ended up getting quite muddy and frying my zune fetching my discs out of the drink for them. That aside for a player of average skill the course can be quite entertaining and challenging

Great Neighborhood Course
Pros: Difficulty and Ground Hazards
Cons: Not Many trees, Tee Boxes are Fairly Small, does not end near the first tee box
Other Thoughts: Very fun course long for only 9 holes, plenty of space to add more holes. Each hole provides a tempting short route for experienced players along with a safe route for novices.
