Stock park, stock course

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 11, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Tee signs
- Rubber mats for tee pads
- Good working baskets
- Large beautiful trees on most holes
- Some low ceiling fairways perfect for rollers
- Navigation is simple
- Perfect as an introductory course
- Next door to motel and gas station
- Surrounding mountains to look at

Cons:

- Crossing fairways
- Dangerous design close to parking lot and road
- No elevation present at all
- Not enough trees
- Not challenging to anyone but beginners
- Tee pads are lumpy and uneven

Other Thoughts:

This is a small town so perhaps you can play here alone at times. Sometimes when small towns only have one park it's constantly busy. Hard for me to judge, I played it on a Sunday morning around 11:00 am and saw only group of teenaged aged kids playing. Once church gets out this place may be packed with people who knows. I had to skip hole 1 as there were a few people eating brunch at the picnic tables which is directly in the flight path for the basket. Overall nothing amazing here, we've seen this course a lot in our travels. Some interesting history about the Oregon trail, this course plays right on top of it and thankfully I did not die of dysentery.

stock stop

Reviewed: Played on:May 28, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

+plenty of parking
+not busy
+mowed green grass & large evergreen trees
+tee signs & boxes
+yellow band innova discatchers
+9&5 finish near 1
+easy stop while passing through montpelier

Cons:

-overlapping holes
-flat
-uneven grass tees
-plays near parking lots & across some pavement

Other Thoughts:

stock park is a fun little toss with most holes having at least 1 tree in the fairway & some low ceilings in a nice park setting.
most of the holes are around 250ft with two under 200 & finishing with a 320ft hole 9.
a few holes are close to the 4ft baseball fence & batting cage.
the park is well maintained and has picnic benches along the west side (in hole 1's fairway), so during lunch/supper time on nice days there is a higher chance of people in fairways.
being right on the corner of highway 89 & 30, this course is an easy stop that shouldn't take too long if there is no one else using the park (which you can scout as you drive by). even if some of the park is being used or you want to conserve your time, you can easily park in the middle and play a smaller loop just to stretch the legs/arm.

Other Thoughts:

Driving from Salt Lake City to Jackson Hole I stumbled across this tiny little 9-holer in the charming town of Montpelier, Idaho. The course is directly on what used to be the Oregon Trail that the pioneers traversed in the 19th century. There's not really much to say about the course except that it's a good place to stretch your legs and arm if you're passing through town, or a good place to teach beginners the sport if you're spending time near Bear Lake in the summer. The holes are jammed close together but there's probably not many times when more than one group will be playing this course. While flat, there are some trees that provide obstacles to throw around, and roads, sidewalks, and fences serve as OB to add a little bit of a challenge. Definitely not worth going out of the way to play, but it's good to see disc golf spreading to the farthest corner of southeastern Idaho.
