Pros: Flower garden and fountain, pond, some playground equipment in a few locations throughout park, shelter houses and picnic tables. It was also the site for a Civil War Re-enactment (not sure if that's an annual thing or not). I saw a Porta John over by the shelter house near hole 1. Nice city park, seems to be maintained well. I didn't see a single piece of trash - no beer cans or bottles of any kind!!
Very nice main kiosk map right next to hole 1. Concrete tee pads which had sufficient texture even on a rainy day to prevent slips. Signs with distance, par, and a simple layout drawing.
Some elevation available, nice rolling type hills with a few drainage ditches that the elevation flows towards. It was raining when I played, and those drainage ditches were full, acting like a few little creeks to throw over, nothing to loose discs in, but enough that I noticed the water flowing through them.
I liked the baskets, and don't recall playing on that typebrand before (Gateway Titan as noted per the main page here). All but one of those (hole 3) are in perfect shape. Some of the pin locations were blind from the tee box.
Enough trees in the park that have potential to knock down your discs, that you will have to choose your lines. Only one "wooded hole", that being hole 4.
Lots of chances for deuces. Fantastic course to work on your mid-range drives off the tee. A few holes that would let you work on rollers too. Also a few holes that will make you work for your pars and birdies.

Cons: Concrete tee pads felt very small. A few of them had some drop offs around them which could cause slipping or injuries depending on your run up or x-step.
Many of the fairways were very close together, which most of the time isn't an issue, just be aware of other players and play on, however......
Pins were very close together. With no hole #'s on the pins, it became confusing several times for a newcomer to the course which pin to throw too. The signs didn't help alleviate any of this confusion, maybe by showing the other holes pin on the tee sign but noting the appropriate pin would be helpful. I am sure if I played this course a half a dozen times this may become irrelevant, but worth noting for the out-of-towners.

Other Thoughts: A couple holes that I enjoyed: Hole 1 is a fantastic way to start out the course!! This was a nice long downhill throw. There were a few trees around 150 ft down the fairway, that added to the challenge. I think this hole is fair for both left and right handed players, using either FH or BH. Hole 4 even though very short, was a nice wooded hole for the course. There is a nice right to left lane to the basket, it's definitely a deuce-able hole.
Some of the uphill elevation made a few of the holes play longer than expected. I found myself coming up short of the pin several times.
I think this course is great for what it is. 18 holes that fit in a very nice scenic park, and a perfect place to really dial in those mid range and approach shots. The elevation and trees added to the course making it a fair challenge. As stated above, the pin # would be great for those not familiar with the course and or newbies. Worth the stop if your in the area, but if I had to choose and had the time to cross the river, I'd head over to Hamilton and play Wildcat Springs.

Report this Review Beginner friendly course in a nice city park. 
Pros: Its a nice well maintained city park. Probably not going to lose any discs out here. Some really nice par 3's where you have to earn your birdies and a couple good par 4's, especially 15 where the road OB comes heavily in to play and a 3 is a true birdie for any player. Some decent elevation change as well. Hole 1 is a great, fun downhiller ending next to a drainage creek.
Cons: Too many boring, easy deuce holes under 250 feet. It gets repetitive from holes 3-13. Holes 1-2 and 14-18 are the highlights.
Other Thoughts: I played the redesigned course which is apparently much longer than the previous design. This is not a bad course and would be fun to practice daily. Its far from world class, but they get most of what they can probably get out of this park. Worth the play.

Pros: I remember this course when it was probably pretty new. I'd like to go back some day. Sadly, it is out of repair according to the other review. As a kid I recall it being a very fun and challenging course, but that's before I knew there was anything but the big wham-o frisbees.
Other Thoughts: Hope to go back for a visit some day. The park and tees 4 and 6 were right across the street from us.

This review was updated on 5/9/2009
Pros: This course has a good variety of shots and is great for a beginner. Holes 1, 2 and 8 have short tees for the beginning players.
Cons: The course has almost all signs missing and baskets missing a few bolts though this is slowly being taken care of.
Other Thoughts: This is a good course for a day's play and it looks like it may get tougher next year by expanding farther into the park.
