Not my kind of lover but still a good course! 
Pros: 1) Nice discatchers in good shape. They are all very visible because most of them are in the open, but the yellow band helps spot the basket if it is tucked behind a basket.
2) Dry creek and a couple of low collection areas are done very well with large cobbles. These are treated as OB and I think they do a nice job making what would be a drainageway or a low wet area to look better than if left natural.
3) This course has a good amount of distance variety. There are a few shorter holes under or around 200' and then there are a good amount of holes between 250-300 and even the 500'+ hole #15.
4) This course has a nice easy flow to it that many courses lack. It may be easier to figure out because it is more open than tightly wooded, but the balance of holes and walks between holes is done very well.
5) Mulch has been placed around baskets where the compaction would have the ground as bare soil. I always appreciate this little effort of having mulch in these bare ground areas, especially where everyone walks!
6) Nice signs with Hole #, Par, distance and a simple diagram. The diagram could be better but it has all of the info on them. They are consistent in their design and are on nice tall 4x4 posts. It actually helps navigation.
7) The turf is in good shape in the wide open areas. The areas where the fairways have a decent amount of tree coverage are lacking in density in areas, but there are almost no places on this course that are totally bare and muddy.
8) There are no real safety issues as the course has tees far enough away from baskets that there shouldn't be any dangerous run-ins with discs. The course is set on its own away from the other activities of the course so there likely will be no issues with other park users.
9) There are a few picnic benches throughout the course but none of them are really close to the tees. They would be well used during slow tourney rounds but it isn't likely that they get much use unless the course is extremely busy. There is a shelter and a sign with the course map at the beginning of the course. There also is a portopotty right near the first tee. Plenty of garbage cans on this course. It isn't every hole but close to every other hole. This will certainly help keep this course very clean.
10) This is a nice park that is gated and closed during evening hours. This definitely helps cut down on crime and vandalism. There is a major soccer complex and other activities but I did not drive through the whole park to see the other features.
11) There is a nice balance of open and moderately wooded holes. There really are no dense woods but there are enough trees on enough holes to make it feel more wooded than it is. This is perhaps likely due to the basket placements forcing some real specific shots and some serious accuracy.
12) This course is very beginner friendly because it is mostly open. There are enough trees to force the beginner to make shots but there are not too many shots that will frustrate them or cause them to take huge #'s like so many wooded courses will do.

Cons: 1) The tees are great overall but the one on Hole #10 is all busted up. The corners are collapsing and it actually is a little bit of a safety concern.
2) #6 tee sign is missing. The post is still there, but the sign is missing.
3) The erosion around the teepads is evident like it is on most courses. This is a circumstance that I think is more avoidable than people realize. It would be no big issue to trench out around the concrete and put mulch around every tee. If the tee areas were on a slope then they could be easily built up with timbers.
4) Diagrams of each hole could be better done. There could be a little more detail and would help greatly in deciphering the obstacles. It isn't horrible because there are not a ton of trees, but I always like to see a detailed diagram and then look at the hole and try and decipher how far the avenues are.
5) I truthfully would like to see some more trees on this course. They did the best they could to use the land they had sure, but it is less of a course because of how open many of the holes are. It is another classic DG course with spotty trees and some rolling KY slopes.
6) There are a not a lot of shots required here. There are mostly straight shots, and many of the holes allow for multiple lanes. You can pick the easiest shot for you and throw it. There simply isn't enough analysis needed here and that is one of the things I love doing in DG . . . analyzing each hole and figuring out my lines.
7) Course is lacking challenge. The wooded holes are not TOO difficult and the biggest challenge on the course is the added length. It would be easy for someone with a 300-350' drive ability to shoot low rounds out here. So for me a 225-275 thrower, it is a little mudane throwing 1 50'-75' upshot on so many holes and it just doesn't feel as enjoyable as other courses.

Other Thoughts: There is enough for the course to be slightly above average because it is designed well and has generally good maintenance and good facilities, but the lack of dense woods and dramatic elevation changes have this course locked in at a 3.5 disc rating. There isn't much they could do to make the course better than it is except a little more maintenance. With some better turf, improved tee sign diagrams, and a solution for the erosion issues this course could be a 4, but it simply does not live up to the other 4's I have played without these issues. It was fun don't get me wrong I just think it could be improved slightly to get it up to its max of 4 discs. There is enough challenge here to shoot around par or so, but most of the challenge is due to the distance and not shot shaping requirements. I would come back and play this course again, but only because my score was higher than I feel it should have been. I would get bored playing this course over and over, but as I have already said it is well designed for the property. As someone before me said I am doing this course a favor giving it a 3.5 instead of a 3 but it simply is clean, well designed for the property, fun, and is very well maintained. I cannot knock this course too low because I didn't have as much fun as others. It simply didn't present enough of a challenge for me to give it any higher of a grade, but the maintenance and evertyhing else are too good for me to give it a 3. Normally I give courses ratings based on my likeliness to return, but this course is simply a bit of a hybrid of my normal rating style. I feel I have represented enough int he review to explain this though. I imagine playing this course in summer with all of the nice lush turf and the trees leaved out would also be muh better than playing in the winter and when the trees have no leaves. That is another reason it has received an extra 1/2 disc rating from me from where I would have normally reviewed it.

Report this Review Wind... Bomber Holes... BG KY. 
Pros: There isn't a lot of elevation available, but the course does a decent job of making use of it. The wind can be a pro, when it comes to adding a challenge to the course. It is designed to be a very fun play - like most of the Bowling Green, Kentucky courses. There is nice variation in the hole distances. Additionally - it is easy to navigate, the signs are as well done as anything around (easy to read, simple, and straightforward). Overall it is very well kept up.
Cons: I can't be too enthusiastic about Lovers Lane. It does what it can with the property - but the bomber holes feel tweener length (10, 13, and 15 specifically). The wind can be aggravating, of course, but hasn't been when I've been out there. The biggest issue I have is the lack of true variety in sort of shots and the way that the elevation is used. It feels like it could have been used more effectively - you throw across valleys instead of from top to bottom or bottom to top. A design that played along the valley's slopes could have been more effective.
Other Thoughts: I understand that this is one of the original Bowling Green, Kentucky courses, and a lot of people have a lot of love for it - but I honestly feel like I'm doing it a favor rating it a 3.0 instead of a 2.5. I have fun on the course, which is the primary reason for that bump... but I don't feel like it is as good as the other courses in the area - Kereiakes, White Park, et al.

Just Beautiful. 
Pros: Such a gorgeous course. Really well maintained with a good mix of shots ranging from long and open to short and tight. Good, rolling elevation change through light woods, and rolling open hills toward the second half of the course. There are rocks that line a few holes for OB, that provide a really nice touch. There are opportunities for all kinds of shots, too. Really is a well designed, well taken care of course, that doesn't seem to have too much foot traffic. Provides a good variety of range, too. There may be a slight advantage for bigger arms out here, but there are plenty of shorter finesse shots. They put cedar chips around the baskets, too, it really is a nice touch. There are well defined lines on all the holes, and if you hit your line, your shot should work out.
Cons: No benches, no hooks for bags, no restrooms. I can't complain about this course much beyond that, because it's just nice. I like to play around water, and there's none here.
Other Thoughts: This is a must play course. If you come to BG to play gold, make sure this is one of your stops.

Wide Open
Pros: A very well maitained course with little foot traffic on the day we went...maybe because it was almost 100 degrees out. Hole one is wide open and the course dips in an out of the trees on the front nine. Layout forces you to use all your shots and play the way it's laid out. Back nine holes are pretty much wide open and if you have a big arm you can really air it out up there....well defined tee pads and course signs from tee to pin..was a little mad to see hole six's sign ripped off at the bolts...baskets are all in excellent condition.
Cons: Not very much shade....but i really didn't care too much...other then that the only thing i can say is maybe some benches and trash cans laid out around the course would be wonderful.
Other Thoughts: Be aware of the ground hog on hole 10...thing came hard charging at me after almost landing a drive on him...ask for pics and i will send them to you...love the course and would make it a def. if you are in the bowling green area.

Pros: Well this is a really fun course indeed. One of the more obvious characteristics is its openness which is more pronounced on the back nine. The grass is well kempt and has virtually no areas with shule to eat your disc. "Aceable" holes are peppered among a layout that should be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.
The front nine plays through gently rolling hills among mature trees. There is a fair amount of variety in terms of shot types. You'll find the pins set in strategic places and offers a fair amount of difficulty. Four and five have some gravel lined drainage areas that add some OB risk for a change too. Number nine has a chain link fence that enforces the mandatory route and is really unique and is a pretty neat addition.
As mentioned, the back nine is more open than the front. The holes are not considerabley longer in terms of length but they do seem to play that way. You can stretch it out a little if you have a big arm. Wind is also going to be more of a factor on the back as well. There are some patches of trees here and there and the baskets are tucked in pretty well to keep the challenge alive when possible. Eighteen is a 340' hyzer shot that leads you back to the parking lot and highlights the course's fairly good layout in general.
The amenities are pretty nice too. Concrete tee pads and really nice tee signs are always a plus. The informative kiosk with a picnic table at the intersection of holes one and ten is a nice addition too. It really highlights the separation of the front and back nine. The Discatcher baskets are in great shape and are also accentuated by mulch laid around some of them. There was a rarity there too, a CLEAN port-a-jon by the parking lot.

Cons: I guess the biggest con would be lack of challenge. That is not to say that it is overly easy but locals/regular players could probably wear this course out rather quickly. It's not that the course is overly repetitive but seasoned players are not going to bogey very often.
The road on the back nine can be a little distracting.
Some benches and trashcans scattered around would have been nice.

Other Thoughts: Overall this is a very fun course. It is certainly one of those courses that will have you wanting to come back and play again. Out of the courses I've played in the Bowling Green area this one of the ones I enjoyed most. It is very clean, safe, and really has a great disc golf atmosphere. If you are in the area I highly recommend playing Lovers Lane. Enjoy!

Pros: First thing i noticed about this course was that it was maintained very well. mowed grass through the whole course. there are signs at every tee, and clear tee pads. rolling hills and trees are the main obstacles. very clean and easy to navigate
Cons: some holes are too close to each other sometimes requiring having to wait for someone to finish the hole ahead of you first.
Other Thoughts: recommended if you are in the area or even an hour away

Pros: The course is laid out great. It is hard, but it is fun at the same time. Its a real clean park and well taken care of, and everyone out there is real friendly.
Cons: Needs a restroom and when the trees get grown on the back nine it will be a whole lot cooler on ya so you can cool down
Other Thoughts: Probly my favorite atm but I haven't been to but a handful of course's atm

Fun for all. Pros: The front nine is great, and they there are lots of good shade tree's. They do a good job keeping the grass mowed as well.
Cons: Back nine is long and no shade tree's. If more tree's are grown on the back nine in a few year's it would get better.
Other Thoughts: The road right next to it can suck some times.

This review was updated on 4/25/2013
Pros: This is your typical parks course set on gently rolling hills with several trees, but it is one of the nice parks courses you can play. The course is well-kept, and it is frequently played. There is a spacious parking area. The park itself and course are very easy to find. It has a large and detailed course map on the kiosk between tees #1 and #10. The tee signs are detailed and colorful, and the sign posts/bag holders are easily visible from the previous basket. You do end up back at the parking lot after #9 and #18 so there is a definite front and back 9. I really like the mulch surrounding the basket on a couple of holes; I wish all the baskets had that.
There is a good variety of hole length, a little elevation in play, and lots of trees to avoid. There is no undergrowth so finding discs is super easy even if you miss your lines- a bonus for newer players.

Cons: Only a few minor cons: The overall course layout is questionable in places- some of the holes/tees are really close to each other, on other holes the walk to the next tee can seen unnecessarily long, and twice you almost backtrack. There is only a portable toilet as a restroom at the course. The quality of the back 9 drops off a little from the front 9. Grass can be thick at times in the summer if they have not mowed.
Other Thoughts: The front 9 is more wooded and the back 9 is a little more open. (I prefer the front 9 as it is a little more interesting.) There is some variety in shots required (straight, right, left), but most holes have multiple options. Overall this course is not too difficult. There are obstacles but usually plenty of room to recover from errant drives. There are couple of longer holes (400'+ range), but nothing ridiculous, most of the holes are in the normal 250'-350' range.
The course has a high rating, but I personally would not put it ahead of several other BG courses (like Keriakes and Hobson Grove). This course seems to be popular, and justifiably so, as it is an excellent place for the average casual player or a family to play a quick round and work on all aspects of their game (and it is definitely a top course if this is what you are looking for), however the experienced disc golfer may not see this course as a 4.0 as it might be viewed as too easy or worthy of only one or two rounds before getting bored. Although, you can't go wrong by deciding to play a round or two here, but be sure to play the other top courses in Bowling Green as well.

A Bowling Green DG gem
Pros: As others have said, absolutely the cleanest DG course/park I've ever seen.
All concrete tee pads, plenty of length and in great shape. Discatcher baskets in very good condition. Tee signs are all present and very nicely done. Course map PDF file is also very nice. Bathrooms as well as other typical park facilities are present an in nice shape.
Some open flat holes where you can really let it rip, nice for stretching out your arm. Also it's always nice to see several holes you can pick up a deuce with if your drive is true.
Course has double loop pattern for both nines, that start and end in a common area, well thought out layout.
Can be played pretty quickly if you need to since it is in a very compact area, and there is not much terrain or vegetation to slow you down. Looks like it could get pretty busy during peak use.
My memorable holes:
1 - Dead straight let 'er rip. Fun to really let it fly once in a while without trees intimidating you.
3 - Neat anhyzer around the trees, down then back up to the basket on the slope, challenge for a par.
4 - Sadly my only deuce of the day, and certainly not on the easiest hole. Try a hyzer and hope you can get through all the trees to the basket.
8 - I mention this one because I ALMOST aced it. About a foot high and left. Definitely an ace-able hole, not quite as simple as it looks at first, have to use some s-curve to hit chains.
9 - Fun little anhyzer…wait I mean big anhyzer. Or make that a lot of anhyzer on a short hole. If you can park this one I applaud you.
12 - Have to "S" it to get around the big tree. Almost deuced it but my bad putting skills prevailed, sadly.
13 - Long with trees shaping your shot, slightly downhill then back up to the basket on the slope. They say play a pro par of 3, but man I think it's hard to hole out a 3 on this one..
18 - Throw a nice long fading hyzer, and you should be looking at a deuce if you get it right. Nice end to a lovely course.

Cons: Not really challenging. I am by no means an excellent player, and I only had 3 bogies, and even had a deuce. Not that I hate writing down 2's, but I almost 3'd or better on every hole. But overall good use of the available land.
I don't really care for playing next to a somewhat busy road for hole 12, but it's not too bad, just don't turn your disc over horribly.
Other than that, there really isn't much negative to say about the course.

Other Thoughts: My rating of a 4 is based on the fact that the course is fun, but really lacks the challenge of a strong course. The fact that it is SO clean and SO accessible (just a couple miles off of I-65) bumps it back up to the 4-disc range.
If you're in Bowling Green, definitely hit this one up if you have the time, and then go visit its sibling down the road a couple miles at Kereiakes Park.
