Unique Course
1 
3/10/2013 
3/19/2013
Pros: Brand new baskets with a yellow band. Listed as mixed but made by a welder who knows disc golf. I did not have any issues with the baskets. Also a practice basket at the start of the course.
18 tee pads. With exception of holes 1/10, 5,14, and 9/18 each hole is completely different than the alternate throw spot. (those holes are longer/more difficult versions of the original)
Course feels like an 18 hole course. Each throw spot has its own unique path to the basket. Even the holes where the second pad is longer, it requires different throws. Hole 7 has a narrow mando between 2 trees.
Unique basket locations - The basket for hole 2/11 is on top of 3 tires in the shape of a terrace (big on bottom and small at the top - see picture). The basket for hole 4/13 is on top of a 3 foot tall dirt mound altering the putt. The basket for hole 8/17 is the signature basket in the middle of the tree branching out in 3 directions.
Water hazard - Holes 1,9,10,17, and 18 have a creek running along side of it. Errant throws can end up in the creek. It seemed reasonably shallow in case of emergency.
Multi-use park - With this being said restrooms were on site. Also appeared to be a snack bar which could be in use when baseball is being played. Disc golf did not interfere with any of the park uses.
Hills - This course incorporates elevation change. Holes 4,11,and 13 are uphill shots. Holes 3,12, and 17 are downhill shots. Holes 5,14, 6, and 15 run along a hill.
Signs! This course was very easy to navigate. Each throw pad has it's own sign/map of the hole and where the alternate throw pad is. Lists distance, hazards, etc. Arrows on basket tell you where to go for the next hole.

Cons: At the time, the throw pads were natural and slightly muddy. Did not effect game but some people can view this as a negative. Concrete pads will come in the near future which will greatly improve this course.
There was quite a bit of trash in the creek when I played which takes away of the natural beauty of the course. However there were trash cans at the course.
This course is an hour and a half from my house. I would list that as a con because I really enjoyed this course. Unique to Indiana. I wish this course was in Indy.
Some holes were very short. 3 & 7 but also had their own challenges.
The basket for hole 7/16 and the practice basket need to be switched. The 7/16 basket is not the same as the other baskets at the course. It did not effect me but some may see this as a bad con.

Other Thoughts: If you are traveling along Interstate 70 or on Highway 27 through Richmond and have time, I would recommend playing this course. It is very easy to get to from the interstate (2 turns). I will definitely play this course again.
I took pictures for the course but forgot to take a picture of hole 17 because I was too excited to play the hole. I apologize.
If this course had concrete pads I would give it a 4. It was muddy when I played and concrete would help. Once it does, I will update my review to a 4 out of 5 due to the fact that it is a unique 9 hole, dual tee course that feels like an 18 hole course.
I have yet to play Living Waters so I would like to know how it stacks up to that.

Report this Review Very Unique and Very Fun
Pros: This course has very unique holes for an inner city park course. There is plenty of parking. There are restroom facilities most of the year. The course is easily navigated. The baskets are excellent. Tees are well marked and the signs are very detailed with a nice touch that informs you of the elevation changes in + or - feet. There is quite a bit of elevation change. There is a fair mixture of hyzer and anyhyzer shots. The technical holes are very challenging. The mandos are challenging and the drop zones are fair. There are 5 or 6 holes that you don't find just anywhere. The biggest pro here is the fun factor.
Cons: Natural pads is usually always a con, but the course is brand new with cement coming ASAP.
Other Thoughts: Most of the time, inner city park courses have limited space and the holes can be repetitive and boring. This course is not that way at all. There is a little of everything here. The hills and blind shots are challenging. The wooded gaps on 3, 11, and 12 are a lot of fun to try to hit. The elevated basket on 2 and 11 and the mandos on 7 and 14 can change your score drastically. One of the staple pin placements of 8 and 17 with the basket placed in the base of a tree is very cool. Hole 17 tee to the fairway is a total blast to throw going downhill over the creek. 99% of the time a course with 9 baskets feels like a 9 hole course.
Overall, this is a rare and unique course. The two holes per basket truly make each hole very different. The way the course plays and is designed, you will have played 18 distinct holes. Generally, I would have a hard time giving a 9 basket course anymore that a 3.5 rating. However, there are 5 or 6 holes that you won't find anywhere around, and the way it plays to give you 18 distinct holes-along with the fun factor- I can give it a 4.
