Very nice course
Pros: -Every shot in the book (aside from distance drives)
-hyzer/anny/bh/fh all needed
-risk/reward with the VERY catchy trees if you go over the top.
-line shaping is important

-line shaping is important
Cons: -VERY catchy trees, i nearly lost a disc 40' up in one (yes, i was doing a spike hyzer around the hole, risk/reward)
-no big long holes where a driver was needed, used putter,mid,fairway is all
-lots of runners/walkers on the trail. They all seemed quite aware of disc golf, and enjoyed to watch, but still had to wait many times over the round for them to pass.

Other Thoughts: This was my overall favorite course in bowling green. It was tough, but if you hit the right lines you can score well.
Planning a trip to BG? definitely play this one. I would have scored a few shots lower if I had a FH, as a few holes really called for one.

BG staple course 
Pros: I love this course! This is top notch BG disc golf. Open holes galore, but very tricky due to disc catching cedars lining and blocking paths to almost every pin. Nice elevation changes, and the shelter between pins #1 and #10 offer great break time or to start up conversation with the awesome college locals. Well manicured fairways.
Cons: Some holes do tend to seem a little repetitive. I miss the shelter canopy that used to be in the middle of one of the fairways on the back nine, it used to add such a cool obstacle, but now it's just open space and an easier to line to throw. Oh well. Not much else to bark at because this course is top notch.
Other Thoughts: Watch your high throws, because if a cedar grabs them high up in the air you are throwing stuff at it to get it down or playing squirrel and climbing to get it. If you are ever in this disc golf heaven known as Bowling Green, this is a MUST course to play!!

Open yet tight, a dg conundrum
Pros: Kereiakes is another beautiful park in Bowling Green, KY. The course has many cedar trees which serve as the main hazard on this course. The course plays up and down a valley so elevation definitely comes into play. Most of the holes have two sets of tees. The course loops back to the parking lot after hole 9. Holes 1 and 10 also sit next to a shelter house...breaktime! Nearly every hole can be birdied if you can keep your disc out of the cedars.
Cons: More benches, more trashcans, and restrooms would be nice.
Other Thoughts: This course sits close to Lover's Lane. The two make a terrific pair. The community garden is also cool to see in a public park.

A challenege with distance 
Pros: Lots of tough shots, nothing here is a gimme. The elevtation changes are wonderful, rarely do you have a level shot. Tree as just beautiful, makes for a visually appealing course as well. The course didnt favor one shot type over the other, great mix of forehands and backhands for righty or lefty. Distance wasn't overwhelming, but was plenty enough to keep you on your toes.
Cons: Most of the baskets were great but some were in need of repair or replacement. While they had a lot of concrete tee pads, they were unusuallly slick for some reason. I watched a few people take a good slip and fall. If your are in a pine tree, good luck with your disc. I spent 30 min in the tree shaking the branch without budging my disc.
Other Thoughts: It is a great course with lots of shot types. The park is clean and very well maintained. If I had one suggestion for the people would be to get a 20' pole out there to help people get their discs out of trees. If you are in Bowling Green I would recommend stopping and playing this course.

Don't miss this one. 
Pros: Wow, what a fun course this is! At first glance I thought this would be a pretty easy course. I was really surprised how much accuracy that was required to score well here. It is a course that doesn't appear to have a whole lot of challenge until you play a few holes and then you realize, "I need to buckle down and concentrate". One the other hand, if you are on your game you should score well too. I liked the fact that it is not a course that just hands you birdies but does reward good shots.
For the most part it is a pretty open course with many trees scattered around as obstacles. The trees which are a mixture of mature hardwoods and lots of big cedars will force you to aim carefully. You'll also find a generous mixture of elevation changes along with shot types too. In fact, I didn't feel any "same ol' hole fatigue" here at all. Uphill, downhill, right, left, and strait holes are all found here. The openness comes with the benefit of not worrying about excessive undergrowth should you find yourself off the fairways. Speaking of the fairways, the grass is well kept and trimmed shorter than the "rough". This also helps in the navigation of the course in general. You'll find a holes anywhere from 220' to 425' with most of them on the shorter side. The trees also work nicely making up for the short holes in terms of difficulty. You should enjoy ample ace opportunities too. Number one (short) comes to mind as one of the more fun to run at. Also look for a couple different routes on some of the holes. I took a risk by using the least logical line a few times and was rewarded a time or two.
The course also boast's concrete tee pads, signs, and an informative kiosk including a course map close to the pavilion and practice basket. A few holes have multiple tees and a few have a couple different pin placements as well. Number one and ten shares a "Y" shaped pad from the long position and is pretty unique.

Cons: Truly there are not many in my mind. Each person has their own ideals and dislikes. Each player is likely to find some based on that. As some of the previous reviewers have stated, there are holes on the short side by today's standards. I happened to enjoy them though.
I played on a Saturday morning and did not experience the crowds that others have mentioned. I can see all of the characteristics that make it likely to be, both by other park users and players as well.
The concrete tees are showing their age but are quite playable.

Other Thoughts: This is a great course in terms of scenery, design, and fun factor. One way of knowing I really enjoyed a course is by determining if I want to come back and play again. I do. This one should defiantly have you wanting to return and play again as well. With the large selection of courses to play in the Bowling Green area, this is one of them on the top of the list to play again next time I visit. I hope you'll like it too. Enjoy!

Cedars everywhere! 
Pros: This course is set in a hilly area, with lots of mature trees. The course plays up and down the hills, and very few of the holes are without some kind of elevation change. There are really no wide open holes, but there is a great variety of types of holes. There are some holes where you need to shape your shot around a couple big cedars, and others where you are shooting through a whole forest of them.
This course never felt repetitive, as each hole was unique, and all different kinds of shots were required here. The course design used the terrain and the trees beautifully to make challenging and interesting holes throughout. The course looped back to the parking lot halfway through, which was a nice plus.
The course was very well taken care of. There were very nice tee signs with distance and a hole map, and all the tees were nice concrete pads. At the beginning of the course, there was a large course map showing the full layout with all the alternate tees. The alternate tees gave very different looks at some of the holes, and were very well marked with their own signs. The grass was nicely mowed, and there was no trash or any kind of brush on the course. It is very clear that the locals take great care of this course.

Cons: The one thing this course was missing was length. There were no holes where you could open up and throw a driver. The course is also in a fairly small space, which means a few holes play right next to one another. Most of the fairways are well insulated from each other, but there were a few that overlapped. Also, a few holes played right on top of the next tee pad, so if people were playing right behind you, it was important to watch for incoming drives.
The course is surrounded by a walking path, and it comes very close to a number of holes. When the path is crowded, it can be a bit of a safety hazard, and you may end up waiting for traffic to pass.

Other Thoughts: This course was a lot of fun to play, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area. The cedar trees make a great obstacle, as they are much more likely to grab a disc than other trees, and this added a unique flavor to this course. It was challenging enough to be interesting to experienced players, but was very well marked and definitely beginner friendly as well.
Next time I'm in the Bowling Green area, this course is at the top of my list to play again. The local disc golf scene in this town is fantastic, and they take great care of their area courses.

Great Terrain,Awesome Cedar Trees
Pros: 1) Lots of rolling hills are incorporated into the shot making requirements on this course. Miss by just a few feet you may end up 50 feet away if your disc flutters and then rolls away.
2) Awesome Cedar Trees. These trees are massive and they require you to shape shots around, through, or even underneath their branches. I lost 1 disc in a tall Cedar and my buddy lost another, and this is the first disc I have lost. Losing discs isn't a pro, but it makes the difficulty level higher which I love!
3) Not a lot of underbrush which is nice. You can generally see where you need to go, executing the shot is another story.
4) Hole #3 is awesome. Not too long or anything but the basket is parked right on the side of a hill so that any disc with too much anhyzer will just keep going and going down the hill.
5) Nice use of trees. There are some holes with specific trees you need to avoid, and other holes that you have to really shape a shot because they are a little more densely wooded. Only one hole with what I would call a tunnel shot #15, but the other trees are incorporated into the course tremendously. This holds true on #10 because the basket is placed around and between two trees. If you arent far enough left off the tee you can barely even see the basket let alone get to it.
6) Nice baskets, nice signage and nice teepads, essential for a higher rating in my book.
7) Somewhat beginner friendly because of moderately wooded property, but the terrain can get newbies fairly easily. Alternate tees on a few holes to also make this beginner friendly.

Cons: 1) Although most holes you have some alternative paths, I would have liked to see a few more holes going from right to left instead of left to right. I enjoy a good anhyzer hole but would like to see a few more hyzers.
2) In offseason could be somewhat muddy with very weedy lawns. Not sure about in season when grass is growing.

Other Thoughts: All in all another grat course. I credit this site with allowing me to play some of the better courses in the US so far in my short career in disc golf. I wouldnt have had any idea where to go to play on my travels.
This course has rolling hills, mature Cedars, tucked baskets, all of which contribute to a nice day of disc golfing. I will go back whenever I go through Bowling Green, you should do the same if you are ever in the area.

Pros: Nice concrete pads with signs and baskets on every hole. Well kept and clean. With the tall pine trees you will need to keep your disc down and in the fairways. But even with a bad tee shot you still have a good chance at saving par. Nice layout with hole 1 and hole 18 starting and stopping at the parking lot. Has a large welcome sign with map and a covered shelter. And the location is nice too it's only a few minutes from Lover's Lane. A must play if your on a BG tour.
Cons: Watch out for people walking on the paths. There are always people out there when I've played this course morning, afternoon, and evening. But other than that there's not nothing really bad about the course.
Other Thoughts: This course is a must stop and play if your in the BG area. Not to mention it's one of the oldest in the state I think. Alot of hyzer spike shots if you have the arm for them. That seems to be the shot I see alot of the locals throwing.

A classic! 
Pros: Kereiakes is one of the most well maintained and most played courses in the entire country. All of the Bowling Green golfers come here to play, whether it is a tournament round or a casual day of golf.
Kereiakes Park plays in a valley between two shallow hills. The park itself is very popular with walkers and runners as there is a running path that borders the edge of the disc golf park. Although the area for the course is limited, the layout uses the available space amazingly well.
The course itself is always mowed, and in the summer the rough grows out a bit while the fairways remain closely mowed. Every hole has well designed tee signs and excellent pads. Several of the holes have alternate teepads, with all of them adding quite a bit of difficulty (except the alternate for #1).
The layout of this course is phenomenal, with two clearly-defined 9 hole tracks that meet at the pavilion by the parking lot. The flow from hole to hole is effortless with very little extra walking required. Despite being installed in a small area of land, the layout uses every inch of available space and none of the fairways cross even though a couple of them come close.
The trademark of Kereiakes Park is the cedars. Every hole on the course is lined with cedar trees, and it will make you play more conservative than you would in other conditions. The cedar trees really dictate the fairway and the available options. Most of the holes have at least one clearly defined route, although there are a few holes that have multiple routes. Hole #9 for example has a sweeping hyzer route as well as a low-ceiling line-drive route.
This course rewards accuracy as drives can get easily get lodged at the top of a cedar tree. Players who can throw overhand shots will have a much easier time throwing approach shots.
There is moderate elevation change at Kereiakes, with nearly every hole having some kind of slightly uphill or downhill lie. There are several nice opportunities to throw rollers, although it is not a necessity.

Cons: There aren't too many cons when it comes to Kereiakes Park. The walking path that borders the park comes into play on several holes. As mentioned by others, the cross country team sometimes practices here - but those occasions are rare.
This course was built some time ago, before the newer high speed drivers were developed. With current standards, this course is a bit short - but I feel that every inch of the available land is used with the current setup.

Other Thoughts: This is where I learned the sport. I was very lucky to have Kereiakes Park as my home course for 2 years. It is an excellent course for players learning the game and the locals are very friendly. If you wait around by the pavilion it is easy to join up with other disc golfers.
Overall, this is one of the most well-rounded courses I have ever played. Granted there is not a lot of distance, but the shot variety is excellent and the fairways provide the perfect landscape for a disc golf course.
I highly recommend Kereiakes to anyone who is in or near Bowling Green... Play this course! There are several tournaments at Kereiakes every year, with major amateur and pro tournaments stopping here.

Pros: Wonderfully laid out course that offers a dazzingly array of challenging holes. No two holes are exactly alike. You will need to bring out your full bag of tricks if you plan on slinging any kind of mid 50's or better round! Very scenic course that is well maintained. The challenge of the course combined with all the natural aesthetics make this course an absolute pleasure to play.
Cons: Very crowded on weekends and afternoons. Sometimes you have wait for joggers/walkers to get a safe distance away before launching a drive.
Hole number 4 is now at the short pin--a waste of what was one of the tougher yet more rewarding holes on the course.
Went there on a recent Saturday and the WKU cross country team had taken over the DG course! There were running paths chalked in all over the fairways.
