Pros:
Aesthetic--plays around the perimeter of a large multi-use park. Does not really interfere with walking paths or other activities of the park
Teepads/signs--nice concrete teepads with simple post teesigns with the tee number and the distance.
Routing/Nav--very easy. no long walks between pins.
Variety/Length--Very long course for a 9-holer. with 2 holes >600' this course is a killer 9-hole. All holes are >250'
Baskets--nice and in great repair. I believe they're Mach 2's.

Cons:
Risk v Reward--none to speak of.
Elevation change--none to speak of.
Only 9-holes! This is a great 9-hole course but would be even more awesome as an 18.

Other Thoughts: the elevated pin is a nice change from the wide open baskets here

Report this Review Good course, long, not technical
Pros: Enjoyable course. Well marked and maintained. All concrete tee pads. Good signage with distances to the tees. Course is laid out well, with some short and two very long holes.
I really enjoyed how hole 6 is laid out - it breaks up the monotomy of the course.
Lots of places to let loose and throw on this course. Great course for practicing your distance shots.

Cons: Not a lot of technical to this course. While there are trees in a few places on this coures, there are plenty of open spaces to let loose and throw.
No par marked on the course. No elevation change on this course, makes it overall a little boring.

Other Thoughts: I'm from California, visiting town. I enjoyed the course, and would play again. Hold 5 and 8 were the longest holes I've ever played. I've played better courses in California...don't know if we'd have this one in my group's rotation, since it is somewhat easy. But, any frisbee golf coures is a good frisbee golf course. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Family Oriented With a Bit of a Challenge
Pros: -Well Balanced 9 hole course that has bomber shots with semi-challenging finesses/technical shots,
-Well maintained as it is in the middle of a park with baseball diamonds on one side and soccer fields on the other.
-Playground for the kids
-Good mix of trees and open land
-More of a beginner/refining course (go to flip or branstrom if you're looking for something tougher. McGraft is a better choice for 18 holes that is closest)
-Tee signs marking the footage and hole number.

Cons: -Some holes tough to navigate (Hole 7 especially). Some holes do not lead into eachother and require backtracking or a change of direction. You don't always walk right into the next hole.
-If you are playing competitively, there is much room for mistakes. If you make a bad throw, chances are you can recover. This is great for beginners and those refining technique. It won't give you a headached.
-I would assume it gets busy during the summer and spring with sporting activities, but this is just an assumption.

Other Thoughts: All holes are easy to get to. Played this one in the snow, so navigation was a little tough. Hole 1-3 follow the fenceline. Hole 4 is in the corner, but takes you 250' to the right. Hole 5 is the 600 footer that follows the fence line. Continuing walking in the same direction to hole 6. Hole 6 has you shooting back about 280 or so, to a slightly elevated mound with a basket on top. The mound is well guarded and beware of overshooting as there is a drop off back to ground level. After finishing this one turn around to walk back toward the fence. Finish hole 7 and turn back to the main entrance to the 700' hole 8. Arrive at the tee pad and look toward the hole 6 mound. This is the right side of the fairway. The hole is tough to see and this is the one where we waited around like idiots trying to find the hole. Pretend like you are shooting back to hole 4 and you're on the right track. After finishing this, hole 9 is toward the right of the playground and has you shooting toward the fenceline. It's a good walk back to the vehicles or to play hole 1.
I rate this low because you have to compare it to other 18 hole courses on here. This is by far the best 9 hole course I've ever played. I thought the designers did a great job utilizing what the land offered. You can't exactly plant more mature trees to ensure more obstacles in a park. If you're looking for something quick play this course. If not, go to another one nearby.
The park may need to consider a course map or signs to tell you where the baskets are. Just a thought. In my opinion there are party courses, business courses, and the ones that are a mix. This course is more of a casual/party course. You won't get a headache playing this one or walk it with all your discs being less stable from all the trees. Fantastic course to take to the kids. Playground in the middle of the course!

Pros: Large, McGraft-sized pine and oak trees make fun holes with many routes to throw through. Newer Chainstar baskets, and sign posts with accurate distances.
Has a couple of long 600+ foot holes (#5 and #8). Includes a few secluded spots, as well as bird species (Eastern Kingbirds were spotted, among others).
A terrific beginner course, as well as a good practice course for advanced players to throw big.
Dedicated disc golf area. Free admission.

Cons: Only nine holes. Grass tees.
Somewhat wide-open in spots, with occasional high winds. Very flat course. One hole comes a little too close to a baseball field (#3).
No signs at the park indicating where golf course is (use North entrance).
No benches or bathrooms.

Other Thoughts: A low rated course, but don't let that stop you from playing this course, particularly if you have less time or are nearby.
Get in some practice drives and wind putts for the next Flip round here.

Pros: -very open course with holes of differnt lengths
-well marked with nice signs and baskets
-best possible course given what they had to work with, it is just a sand/grass field.
-good use of length to make the course challenging even though it is wide open

Cons: -only 9 holes to play
-it was so open that the holes got very repedative, all you could do was throw to the next basket becasue there were so few obsticles.

Other Thoughts: I would only play here again if I was in the area but it was not worth the drive to play the open course with only 1 or 2 interesting shots.

Pros: Nice course to work on your long drives. Tees marked well with Hole # and distance. a couple of challenging holes like trying to putt uphill on #6. fairly easy to navigate.
since the last time i played they have installed concrete pads that are decent length, only one i had a problem with was hole 2 where it lined up with trees directly in front of the pad.

Cons: no pars listed on tee markers. also wish there was a map or drawing of hole layout so you have a idea as to which way to throw on some holes. didn't see the basket on #8 until after my second shot then had to realign my approach to the hole.
Other Thoughts: overall i liked the course. want to come back to try and improve my score. since i now know where the baskets are i should be able to score better. tip for hole #8. there is a blue trash barrel in the middle of the fairway.. aim at that from tee and will put you in line with hole. i drove into the drive by the tennis courts. parked by the restrooms and playground equipment. from there i backtracked to the first hole by the road. After the 9th hole my car was just the other side of the fence. so i didn't have to walk far.

Pros: Pretty open with long holes. Good to do a little perfecting of shots. Nice clean park with picnic shelter.
Cons: No map showing holes. Got a little confused at times. Do not Tomahawk on 9th hole. Tall pines ate our discs. With much effort we did get them down. Long holes for us beginners.
Other Thoughts: I liked most of the holes, my friends did not care for this park. I would try this again.

wide open
Pros: This course is very easy to navigate through. Each hole is marked well with a wooden post that has the hole #, distance indicated on them. The park was very clean, and many trash cans were throughout the park. This course has mostly wide open shots although holes 3, and 9 had a random group of trees in the fairway. Hole six had a real unique hole placement with the basket on top of a little hill with trees almost all the way around the hill.
Cons: The fact that there are only nine holes was the biggest con. The park looked pretty big and it seemed like there would have been room to put more in. None of the signs had the par, also no information on this site. After you finish hole 9 you will have a somewhat lengthy walk back to the parking area.
Other Thoughts: With all the the wide open shots, and then the 607, and 700 foot holes this course has plenty of opportunity to let the big bombs go. Even with only 9 holes this course was still real fun to play.

This review was updated on 8/12/2011
Pros: A good walk on this nine holer's gentle terrain is a perfect way to get out and enjoy a spare moment and enrich the day. Although the game of disc golf is generally laid back and not necessarily strenuous, some of the more sprawling and complex courses can be a bit more than a person may wish to take on due to time constraints, blazing summer heat, or well deserved laziness. This one can be fit into even the most hectic of days and will provide a good walk and a satisfying round of play. The layout is fairly straightforward which definitely suits beginners. It also has enough character to entertain those with more experience. The holes allow for experimentation and technique improvement with any style of play. There is some challenge by way of distances that appear shorter at first glance than they truly are. Once the tee shot is sailed, the perspective often changes. The 600 and 700 foot holes have the potential to make players feel confident on the tee only to swallow their discs in vastness that humbles. A little ego adjustment perhaps. Although this course is nowhere near "heavily wooded" and even "moderately wooded" may be off base, the trees that are in play seem to have the uncanny knack of being right where they need to be to challenge the line, encourage forethought, and demand the use of control. This course takes some skill and a decent arm to score as well as one may anticipate scoring upon first impression.
Cons: Drawbacks include topography and scenery that offers little variance. That being noted, the course is set up about as perfectly as this piece of land will allow which cannot be scoffed at. The only other potential nuissance or danger comes by way of unsuspecting pedestrians who may be oblivious to the fact that a game which utilizes potentially deadly flying discs is being partaken in all around them. During busy park days, when visitors are attending baseball games and frollicking to and fro, cars that could quite conceivably be seriously damaged by errant shots are likely to line the edge of hole 2. The possibility of hitting a car has potential to cause tension on the tee. Tension on the tee has potential to cause a bad shot which will hit a car. Vicious circle.
Other Thoughts: This is a nice little park. The designers did well with the layout and succeded in creating a fun and deceptively challenging 9 holer. This park is between McGraft Park and Whitehall and makes a nice stop for a trifecta type day. It is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area and you have time to get out and enjoy it.

I liked the 700 footer its like a Disc driving range
Close to home McGraft Park is only about 15 minutes away Whitehall DGC is also only about 15 minutes away.

I got a Disc stuck in some low hanging branches on either hole 3 or 4.
