Wide Open
Pros: Wide open space. Great for working on different types of throws. Perfect for beginners.
Cons: No real challenges; a few small tress. Field setting, so it's typically windy. Signs are directly behind the tee pads, so running up is more difficult.
Other Thoughts: As this course grows, it will continue to be a great "training ground" for new comers and those who want to practice on the mechanics of thier game.

Report this Review Just a series of tees and baskets

-Clean, well maintained area
-Cement tees
-Great signage with directions

Cons: -Flat, flat, flat

-Only 9 holes and Am tees don't make enough difference to fake an 18 hole course

Other Thoughts: This course just is what it is. It is clean and well maintained but there is nothing to it. Every hole is just dead straight with no obstacles and between 240 and 450 feet. Not a bad place to warm up your arm after a long winter, but offers no challenge or views or anything worth playing regularly.

boring, but its still a course
Pros: good course to test your driving accuracy in the wind
Cons: very simple, beginner course
Other Thoughts: cement pads. multiple tees seemed to be a waste of effort, they provide little variation.
Very quiet park when I was there.
They should have used the giant mound at the park for a change in elevation, course is entirely flat.

Good Training
Pros: 2 sets of concrete tee pads. I can't see giving any course with concrete tees a half star. Yes, I'm talking to you, Mashnut.
Safe and clean. The area is nice and the terrain is not hazardous and easy to walk.
Not busy at all.
Tee signs are nice and make course navigation a snap.
Bathrooms were nearby, but not sure if they are kept locked or not.
Good wind training. It's wide open, and the course meanders so as to require drives from all directions, so various wind angles are present.
Good perspective training, because it's deceptively hard to park holes when the basket is out in the open with no nearby reference objects.

Cons: Only nine holes.
Lack of variety, as in no elevation or wooded holes.
Gets boring pretty quickly, and lacks replay value. Not so much good clean fun as good training.

Other Thoughts: This course is an excellent trainer course, but lacks the variety needed to keep newbies coming back. Blue Heron has been added within driving distance, but it's too much of a leap in difficulty. I think there is still a gap in the area for a safe and fun course that is not too frustrating for casual players.

Pros: This is a good place for beginners to learn how to play the game and throw without worry of losing a disc. The course is completely wide open and flat. It looks like some trees have been recently planted by holes 1 and 9 which is nice to see. They're close enough to the tee that they could have some effect on those holes in a few years once they grow a bit.
The course has tee signs by the longs and there are concrete pads for the longs and shorts.

Cons: The tee signs are centered a foot behind the tee blocking your run up if you want to start behind the pad. I found this a problem on the long holes. Also, the tee signs only list the distance from the longs
The course is completely flat and immensely boring.
There's a very large hill right next to the course that could easily be brought into play on 2-4 holes but isn't. the 50-75ft elevation change that would bring into play would certainly be a huge addition to this course while still keeping it beginner friendly.
Other people mentioned ruts in the ground. When I was here I stumbled over the occasional rut in the ground, but overall the ground seemed mostly fine.

Other Thoughts: Unless you live in the area and are either new to the game or want some field practice, there's no reason to stop here.

Pretty bad 
Pros: The course plays through an open field. Two holes use some small trees as obstacles to make you shape your shots a little. The holes go in all directions so you have to play all kinds of wind conditions throughout the round. There are dual concrete tees that are nice and large and in great shape. The baskets are new, and catch great. It's always nice to see disc golf making inroads into a new area.
Cons: The land available for this course is just not interesting at all. It's a wide open flat field with uneven ground that makes walking difficult, and holds lots of water after a rain. The one interesting feature of the park, the sled hill, doesn't come into play at all.
The course seems to be intended as a course for really new players, even the short tees have a few holes that are a little long for new players, while the longs aren't enough longer to really add any challenge. If you're going to go to the effort of making dual tees, especially on wide open holes, the distance difference should at least make most players choose a different disc from the different tees. There is no signage, so it's a little difficult to figure out where to start, after that it's pretty easy to follow, though occasionally it's unclear which way the hole points.

Other Thoughts: As I said above, I love seeing new courses in areas that had none. Unfortunately, this was a pretty boring park to use, and the design doesn't do anything interesting with it. Both sets of tees have lengths appropriate for novice level players, it would be nice to see some tees designed for kids and people completely new to the sport on a course like this. Unless you want to add to your course number, this one isn't worth going out of your way for.

Its a start
Pros: Nice baskets, multiple tees per hole,
ample paved parking, great neighborhoods surrounding park, very clean, great for beginners (wide open, with only a few small trees and no blind shots to make).
Not a lot of traffic (making it solid for some Safari Golf).

Not a lot of traffic (making it solid for some Safari Golf).
Cons: Its just a big flat field. I think the course is developing as the park is being built and the surrounding area grows and develops. As the trees grow and maybe the hill can be utilized and the finishing touches are made on the course, this can be a nice little 9 holer, but for now (today) it doesn't have a lot to offer in the way of challenges and unique shots.
Other Thoughts: Given that a pole hole is better than no pole hole and 9 holes is better than one, then this passes the test as a real disc golf course.
It counts.
And given the lack of courses of any kind in this well populated (and growing) area, I can't help but applaud building this course (and hope it leads to more). I don't want to say anything bad about it for that reason, but to be fair to this website, I have to say this is strictly for beginners right now (and hopefully the beginners in this area will grow with the course and others to be added). It is not a destination course for players looking for any challenges (yet). I am heartened by comments in other reviews hinting at more to come - I hope it happens, but as of today (8-19-10), it is what it is. A start.
Also, use the north parking lot (signs say "Greenwood Schools Transportation" or somesuch) and not the south "Freedom Park" lot.

Beginner Friendly
Pros: A course on the Southside of Indy.
Concrete teepads (coming Summer 2010). Decent use of the land that is there. As previously stated in other reviews, this was tillable land a year ago. Beginner Friendly.
The land lends itself for fun, long safari possibilities. Walking paths mostly not an issue.

Uneven terrain.

Other Thoughts: Jerry (course designer) stated it well in a general article about disc golf mentioning the course. He explained that you can not just install a championship caliber course in an area that does not have any courses. This course is a step to more challenging courses in Greenwood and surrounding areas. (this means you Franklin, IN)

Freedom Park
Pros: Easy to follow, wide open, looks like it will be well taken care of. Plenty of room for modifications.
Cons: Wide open, no signifigant obsticles at all. That being said, it is a old hay field so it is flat, and wind has a major roll in playing this course. If it werent soo windy i would prefer the holes to be 50-75 ft longer, maybe more on some.
Other Thoughts: I believe if i had a say in things, i would recommend: saving the $ for pouring the concrete for the short tees, as i would like the holes longer, and purchase more trees. And lay out the trees so as to include some cunning mandatories into play. I believe that would definately save this bland course.

Pros: •Mach V targets •Concrete tees & signs •trees have been planted •two tees per hole •easy to figure out next tee location •paved parking,with few trash cans •Very nice Bathrooms •Nice playground for the kids,4 slides!
Cons: •Wide open,with wind being the only obsticle •Flat,with deep ruts from mower,could twist an ankle or trip if your not careful,if the grass is tall •Trees are not much,if any,of an obsticle •trees only come into play on #1,#2,#3 • no bathrooms or water fountain •No Alternate pin placements •the south end of the parks pond was not utilized? With the paved trail circling it, I don't see it happening.
Other Thoughts: Use the North parking lot. As soon as you see The "Greenwood Community School Corp. transportation" sign turn right. #1 on the northside of the lot,throwing back to the entrance. Cross the entrance south for the #2 tee. If your in the area please "get a round in". If the course gets used I believe they parks Dept may add another 9. I'm sure Jerry Suiters "hands were tied" as far as what land the parks dept. would let him use. He has also designed Camp Cullom in Franfort,IN. Boondocks in Knightstown,IN. and McCulloch in Muncie,IN. I hope, can be fix with another 9 added to utilize the HUGE man-made sled hill. The south parking lot has alot more scattered trees and small mounds that will be a big improvement over the "front 9"
