Pros: Brand new disc king baskets with multiple pin placements. Brand new concrete tee pads for 18 holes. New trees have been planted with the specific purpose of increasing the difficulty of the course.
Cons: Course has 18 holes, played to 9 baskets. This causes some overlapping of fairways and requires courtesy.
Other Thoughts: This course is owned by the City of Mesa and managed by the Emerald Disc Golf Club. The club has raised money for new baskets, tee pads, tee signs and trees. Monday Night beginners league at 5:00.

Pros: Wow! Grass!!! Course is located in a small, neighborhood park with nice, green, grass fairways. The course utilizes what little elevation and trees this park has very well. Decent hole length with a few long holes, but most of the holes can be reached with one good drive. The pond comes into play on one hole, but you would have to overshoot the basket by about 30 ft. to land in it. Baskets seemed to be brand new and were very visible from the tee.
Cons: Like I said before the park is really flat and doesn't have very many trees, but the course layout uses every possible way to bring the little they have into play. Tee pads were really muddy and were hard to spot. Tee signs were terrible, just like all the others in the Phoenix area. They had the strangest maps which provided no information except distance.
Other Thoughts: Overall, this was a nice little course to play if your in the area, but don't make a trip just to play here.
**Update** There are concrete tee pads for all 18 holes now!

New Baskets Pros: I just played this course yesterday after not having been there for 6 weeks or so and was pleasantly surprised as they have all new baskets. The course layout has changed slightly which also made it a bit more enjoyable and slightly more challenging.
Cons: The dirt tee areas are still terrible and getting worse. Water in pond is absolutely nasty but you shouldn't wind up in there unless you have a really terrible throw.
Other Thoughts: Wondering why concrete tees weren't put in before new baskets? The baskets are really nice but concrete tees would have been even better. Does anyone know when/if those are going to be put in?

The Emerald Jewel 
Pros: Course is well maintained
The Emerald Disc Golf Club meets every monday at 5pm, and they are very helpful for beginners
course is set for improvements (teee pads, new baskets) by the end of Summer 2010 ... The EDGC has raised thousands to do this..and the City of Mesa is pitching in 3500 to 4000 bucks =]

Cons: currently it is not well marked and the dirt/grass tee pads are very worn down
the baskets are very old and a lot of discs bounce out

Other Thoughts: I love this course. it's pretty wide open for players with big arms. The EDGC has been shooting around ideas for adding more trees.

Other Thoughts: Neat little course that plays around a retention basin. for those concerned about the water it is not a factor on any hole except #6 in which you need to overshoot a 365 foot hole. Because it is a retention basin it drags debris in when it floods so there were cigarette butts and other sorts of garbage especially around the mouth of the basin. I assume after a good rain much of the course can be soggy. My group didn't play the back 9, but the front 9 really seemed to favor RHFH or LHBH as there was nothing to navigate when throwing with those styles, RHBH will have some trees to navigate but nothing too difficult. Often the biggest obstacle for newer players will be getting a disc to sit on some of the inclined basket placements. Overall, do not plan a trip for this course, but I enjoyed this course and will gladly play it again. Its worth checking out if you are in the area.

Close to Home Fun

Review By: rcmalamutes Played: 6 Reviewed: 5 Exp: 3.4 Years
This review was updated on 2/10/2010
Pros: We love this little course. It is close to home, not crowded, spaced out nicely to avoid a tangle of projectile missiles of destruction. It is cool. Lots of test for your driver (again, nothing to really let it rip for you upwards of 400 guys, but I can't throw it that far anyway), and some good technical parts (remember, I am a newbie) with hills and trees.
Plus, there is a great local club that works this course, and they are super cool for new folks to learn the game.
All around, if you are new to the sport (or seasoned at it and just need a nice place to open up and practice) this is a great course. We love it, and play it at least a few times a week.

Cons: The signage of this course is horrible. If you need proof that Mesa is out of money when compared to say Chandler... this course will prove it. You can basically figure it out for the front nine, but when you turn to do it in reverse, you need to have someone tell you the code...
Other Thoughts: Still.... close to home. Easy bike ride, play and bike home. No crowds. That combination makes this one a winner.
Nice little park
Pros: Nice elevation changes for a 9 hole course. Some holes set on a downward slope. Signage is adequate. Phoenix disc golfers are always nice and willing to assist. Some techinical shots required. Nice grip and rip course as most Phoenix courses are. Not much multi use traffic so people rarely get in the way.
Cons: Dirt tee pads. Back 9 is difficult to find if you don't play with someone who knows the course. No water or restrooms.
Other Thoughts: Pond in the middle can come into play on a few shots. Course is set in a wash basin so if it is rainy the course will be soggy and holding water.
#10 shoots across the length of the parking back to #9 and you follow the course backward for the back 9. #13 shoots over the length of the pond toward #5.

friendly folks, fun course
Pros: Good variety of shots and distances. Pretty park with friendly other disc golfers. Good use of trees, parking lots, small hills as obstacles.
Cons: Without the links above to describe each hole, it would be a challenge to find all the tee boxes. I hear it gets muddy, but it was dry when I played.
Other Thoughts: Ran into another group that had their own alternate tees. I wish someone would post them

easy beginner course

Review By: wolito 
Played: 85 Reviewed: 84 Exp: 6.2 Years
This review was updated on 5/16/2010
Pros: Nice open course. Not many trees to get in the way and hole are fairly short. The course uses what it has available to it in reagrds to the trees and small hills found throughout. 9 holes, but can be played in reverse for 18. Clean, easy to get to and not too busy when I played. A good course to work on your drives as a few of the holes are open and a little long. The grass throughout is something not seen to much in the desert area.
Cons: Teepads are grass and certainly not easy to find. Maybe 5 signs for the holes were remaining. Obvious navigation issues, but easy enough to figure out. Not much of a challenge here for more experienced players. The Mach 2's were well worn and didn't catch very well. I have seen a lot of putts bounce out on them.
Other Thoughts: A nice change of pace from other courses in the area in that fact that there is actually grass everywhere! Just enough challenge to get an enjoyable quick round in and tempt you into coming back again. Definately a beginner course, but still has a little to offer everyone else.
