Lovely Course 
Pros: Lover's Lane is a very pretty course that features groves of hardwood trees and gently rolling hills over nice green grass. The course is very seperate from the other parts of the park so you do not have to worry about non discers.
The design of the course really makes the most of the gentle elevation changes on this property. There are only 3 or 4 holes that play flat. The design also brings the trees into play as much as possible requiring at least a minimum of shot shaping while allowing most holes to be thrown either FH or BH. Even in the mostly open back nine there are some trees to contend with as well as some thoughtful OB to add difficulty. Lover's Lane offers a pretty decent variety of hole length with a few nice short ace runs all the way up to a 500+ long bomber. Both the front and back nines loop back to the same point.
This course has a nice easy flow to it. This is helped by the bright yellow Discatchers (in great shape) and the tee signs at each tee.
There are very nice amenities at this course. A practice basket with distance markers, bathrooms, water fountain, pavilion near #1, benches and garbage cans. The course itself is also very well maintained with the grass mowed regulary and some nice mulch around the baskets to prevent wear.
This is a great course for beginners up through advanced.

This is a great course for beginners up through advanced.
Cons: This is really not an overly challenging course. There ae not any holes that really make you stop and think about your throw. If you can drive in the 300' range you can drop some pretty low scores here.
The tee's are beginning to show quite a bit of wear. Cracks are beginning to form and erosion around the tees are increasing.
The back nine is a little boring. Without the trees of the front nine the holes are a little repetitive.

Other Thoughts: I played this course during the 2010 BG Ams and I had a lot of fun. The course is really well kept and is enjoyable to play. With the amount of short, woods courses in the BG area this is a nice change of pace. I think Lover's Lane is another nice course for the area. I am planning on playing the 2011 BG Ams and I hope I get to play it again.

Report this Review A quick and fun course
Pros: Nice signage/benches/big trash cans at most holes. New sweet baskets. Very nice flow and easy to navigate. Creative use of OB. Beautiful course.
Cons: Fairways very close to each other and in some cases a bit of overlap could be cause for concern.
Other Thoughts: I enjoyed this course. It was a bit repetitive but I believe the addition of rock OB's and landscape added to the overall enjoyment of the course. I think the course designer did a very nice job making the best out of the land available. And beautiful Kentucky bluegrass the whole 18 holes!

Just Alright. 
Pros: This course is very scenic and has many mature trees on the front nine. Big concrete tee pads, great practice putting area, restroom, and a water fountain.
Cons: Even though there are plenty of mature trees, you can basically throw forehand or backhand on any hole. Not to many shots that force you to throw one way. The back nine is practically the same shot over and over again. And it was hard to find the next tee after a few holes.
Other Thoughts: This course could be a really good course if it added a few things. First of all it needs to plant more trees to shape shots up. Secondly signs after each hole would be nice. If trees were planted to force more shots one way i would love to play this course in 5 years.

Some trees but not many 
Pros: Large teepads on all holes. Slight elevation changes on each hole with the front nine playing through and around a large grove of trees. Younger trees are starting to come into play now, shaping the routes to the baskets nicely. Most holes with defined lines have multiple routes that can taken if you're creative enough to look at it outside the box. The back nine is more wide open with a variety of distances to be covered. Overall several holes are aceable and others are shots were you can really let them fly and still not be close to the basket.
Cons: Some teepads are cracked, which may affect footing but I didn't find this to be a big issue. Also on several of the teepads, the surrounding dirt is being washed away which will eventually lead to fracture of the concrete. On any given day the wind can be fierce on this course and can greatly affect shot selection. I find the course to be between beginner and intermediate friendly. With the length and lack of tight lines, I find this course geared more towards this range of player. More advanced players shouldn't have much trouble achieving low scores here.
Other Thoughts: Fun course over all and quite scenic. I've found with past experiences out here that during soccer tournaments on the other portion of the park, overflow traffic parks in the middle of number one's fairway. So beware and considerate of others during those times.

Open but fun 
Pros: The course plays through a grassy city park with stands of trees and some rolling hills. Though the elevation changes are fairly minor, the design uses them as much as possible to add some variety and fun. There are a couple shorter ace run holes, and one nice long ripper hole, also adding a little variety. The front nine plays mostly through a stand of trees, so most of the holes have multiple lines through the woods. The back nine has a little more elevation, and is quite a bit more open with scattered young trees.
There is a nice course map at the beginning of the course, and the flow is good enough that you don't even really need the map. There are decent concrete tees, and basic signage with hole layout and distance. The diiscatchers are in good shape and catch well. The park is nicely maintained, and free of conflicts between the course and other park users.

Cons: This course is very open, especially the back 9. There just aren't enough obstacles to really force you to throw different lines, and the challenge is pretty low here. The distances are mostly in the same range, making the course feel even more repetitive. The holes that do play through the trees don't have a huge variety of hole shape, with none that have hard bends one way or the other.
Many holes play close to one another, so there could be some ducking necessary on a busy day. Some of the signs have been vandalized or broken off completely. There weren't very many trash cans, and this showed with litter scattered around the course.

Other Thoughts: This is a fun course, and very beginner friendly with reasonable lengths for the most part, and not much punishment for errant shots. More experienced players won't find themselves challenged much here, and there just isn't enough variety to put this course up with the better ones in the area. If you have time, this is a nice place for a relaxed round, but don't put it at the top of your list for your Bowling Green trip.

Bombs Away! 
Pros: Lover's Lane is a mostly open disc golf course in Bowling Green, KY. The fairways on this course are the best fairways I have ever seen. I could sleep on the grass in this park every night. The course loops around back to the parking lot after hole 9 and again after 18. The distance is great on this one, so bomb away all day! There is a shelter house near holes 1 and 10 which is a great spot to take a break. There is a little elevation; I would say just enough to keep it interesting.
Cons: The course is mostly open which allows the wind to do whatever it wants to your disc. The park could also use a bathroom, more benches, and more trash cans.
Other Thoughts: I mentioned the wind as a con. It seems like every time I play this course the wind is HOWLING! That being said, I'm beginning to like playing in the wind. I only consider it a con because most people do not like wind. I play this course every time I head down to Blowing Green.

This review was updated on 8/20/2012
Pros: This is likely my favorite course. It is well designed with clear lines to the baskets. The baskets are placed relative to the trees in such a way as to make the holes more challenging. In comparison to most technical courses, it is a relatively open course with a moderate number of trees and a few holes with almost no trees. Despite the length of some of the holes, I highly recommend this course to most beginners. This is a very well maintained course. In the 3 years that I have played this course the trees on the six more open holes across the road have really matured. As a result, the holes across the road have become more challenging. Over time this will be an even better course.
Cons: The direction of the holes and baskets could be a little better marked. For example, the first time that I played this course I did not realize that #13 required you to cross the road. Some of the teepads are not close to the prior basket and require you to walk backward or away from the last basket.
The course is a little long for a relative beginner like me. If some of the holes were par 4's that would have been better for me. However, that should not discourage anyone. I just wish courses would have label some holes as par 4's more often.

Other Thoughts: I really love this course. The design and maintenance of this course are the reasons that I rate it so highly. I also give it an extra half or full disc because it is one of my personal favorites. I have to drive 2 1/2 hours to play this course.
One day I played it after it had after it had rained all day and for the prior two days, but it drained very well.
This is a really well maintained and clean course. There are bathrooms located nearby at the soccer complex.

Day in the Park....
Pros: I have played this course close to 500 times since it was built....Lovers Lane gets better each year, as it matures. Fun course...especially if you can throw a 400ft spike hyzer consistantly:) Give this course 10 years, and those spike hyzers will become long turnover roc shots....I can't wait!! I love to practice at Lovers, because it's easy to navigate.....no rough.....good baskets......good pads signage, and one of the best manicured Kentucky bluegrass fields you will find!!
Cons: Not much here.....except holes 13 to 18 need time for trees to define fairways.....which will be awsome in 10 years.....
Other Thoughts: I love Lovers:) It;s a great place to practice, hang out, and get your confidence up. If you visit BG.... Play Kerieakes and Lovers in the morning (under 3 hours easily)....eat lunch, stop by Disc Golf Shop and More/KY Disc Golf Hall of Fame, on the way out to Holler in the Hills, for an epic afternoon round!! Now that's a Disc Golf vacation!!

Great Course 1 4/11/2010 4/15/2010
Review By: gkeberhart 
Played: 36 Reviewed: 31 Exp: 4.7 Years
This review was updated on 9/22/2010
Pros: First of all this is a well maintained course, it is in great shape and the BG people make sure to keep it that way. the course is very well laid out and changes distances frequently making you utilize different discs and shots off the tee at all times. some shots are shaped the same, but rarely if ever were they performed on back to back tees. Trees were healthy and acted as great obstacles.
Cons: Hole #10 had a pretty rough tee pad. it was a little rough to throw from but manageable. as is with most of the courses I have played in BG there really wasnt a great place to use the restroom or get water that was close to the course. they did have a fountain near the start of the course but the stream wasnt very strong making it rough to fill a container up. There was also a pretty rough manure smell from the adjacent farm on some of the holes, at times it really made it tough to breathe
Other Thoughts: it was secluded and away from the park which was nice as it kept you away from childern and people that dont understand the dangers. it was generally quiet and very colorful. fun course with some elevation but the scenery really made it a great course to be at. Make sure you put this one near the top of your list as it isnt super difficult but still enough of a challenge to have a great time.

A walk in a park...
Pros: Very, very, clean. Mostly grip and rip holes. Easily accessible from the major interstate nearby. Easy to navigate with pretty decent signage (One hole's sign was missing completely; and some of the others had typical hoodlum damage as well; but were still professionally constructed).
Cons: It's a walk in a park in that every inch of the place is mown grass. Most of the tree's cannot be more than 25 years old; or the few mature one's typically do not even come into play. Aside from #15 (500 footer), the rest of the holes were in the 250-350 range where a RHBH anhyzer or RHFH hyzer can get you within birdie range. Several of the tee/fairway placements are right alongside others; so the chances of getting plunked with a disc are fairly high compared to more heavily wooded/wide open courses.
Other Thoughts: After playing the nearby Holler in the Hills DG course earlier in the day, playing the Lover's Lane course was simply a letdown of epic proportions. While this would be a good course to go and practice gripping/ripping, the fact of the matter is that it's not technically challenging enough to be of any real assistance in prepping for most highly rated, technically difficult courses. Still, I've played many far worse courses.
