Not a playable course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 6, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Some semblance of basic signage (purple painted signs with hole #).
Nice new DGA baskets.
Some elevation changes on #1 and #6.
#3 actually has a little creek running across the fairway.

Cons:

It is a course that plays through a day camp area - so tables and activities are littered throughout the fairways. It just isn't playable when they are daily YMCA activities occurring.
While the DGA baskets are nice, they do not seem to be reinforced with concrete foundations. After a heavy rain storm, multiple baskets were leaning and easily moved around.
Although I didn't measure the holes, I would say no hole is over 100'.

Other Thoughts:

It just isn't a real disc golf course - more along the lines of practice baskets in the woods, with some hole identification. That said, the course is what it is, seemingly used for YMCA activities with elementary school aged kids in mind.
I went out there with my two young daughters. We had fun for a couple of holes and played it in less then 15 minutes.
Unless you are introducing kids to the game of disc golf, this is a course to pass up and ignore.
