My First Course 
Pros: This is a great course for a beginner (which is DEFINITELY me). I got my Starter Set for Father's Day the week before my first round at this course, and learned a lot from playing here.
While this isn't a long course by any stretch of the imagination, it requires some good course management and some accurate throwing. There are a few holes that I would consider wide open, but most of the course is certainly designed with risk-reward in mind. This is the place to go if you want to work on accuracy and your short game. Leave the driver at home -- even as a beginner, I I threw my Leopard driver past a couple of the holes the second time I played here.
#13 is certainly a birdie hole for a newb (I've done it every time I played here, including my first round ever playing disc golf), and I'm sure that a more experienced player could throw an ace with no problem.
#5 is a tough hole if you're a backhand thrower. As has been mentioned by other reviewers, you need a forehand to score well here -- which means I don't score well on #5. Practice, practice, practice!!

Cons: Lots of non-golfing traffic on the first six holes, especially on the weekends. You've got pavilions and baseball fields to contend with until you get to the woods on #7. I even had a kid pick up my disc and bring it over to me while I was playing up #5 -- thankfully I remembered where it had landed.
Other Thoughts: This is a great place for beginners to learn the game without feeling the pressure to bomb a drive. You'll learn accuracy and strategy, and have some fun without getting overly frustrated. Great place to bring some beginners, too!!

Report this Review Quick Round 
Pros: This is a nice beginner course.
-easy navigation without a map
-concrete tees
-mix of open/wooded
-some elevation changes
-informative tee signs
-clean/well kept course and facilities

Cons: It's hard to find many cons that are a major issues but most holes are very short with limited challenges for advanced players.
Becareful teeing off many pads have a drop-off at the end of the tee. (you don't need a long run up anyhow.)
-some baskets in rough shape (bent, leaning)

Other Thoughts: Overall it's a fun short course and it's worth playing if you're nearby. Water hazards aren't a huge worry unless you have a really bad throw. My favorite hole was #17 because it's longer with more obstacles. Park near the bathrooms where you will see the sign pointing you towards the 1st tee down the path.

Great, Short, Ace!!! 
Pros: This a great confidence booster course. For any beginner grab your disc and start throwing it. Every hole is a chance to learn something new. The elevation changes and the wooded area (from 7-16) are not terrible challenges. You can learn throw many shots with this course. As I have gotten better I have left my drivers in the bag and played the whole course with my Mid-Range Buzzz. It is short so you can play through a round or two in a day or just squeeze in a game. Many Ace opportunity's, also a good drive and good putt may land you well under par for the day.
Cons: Only real con would be the baskets have seen their share of abuse from weather or a individual that decide the inanimate object needed a thrashing because he sucks at putting. Basket 11 the top is being held on by rocks balancing it to the pole. I called the park and left a message to no avail!  Some of the other baskets look like the will be joining 11 soon.

Pros: The course is located in a scenic park and several of the holes are played by softball fields and soccer fields and along walking paths.
There is a great mixture of trees, slopes, and open holes. The woods shots are not impossible and there are plenty of birdie, and even a couple eagle opportunities.
Each hole is clearly marked, the tees are in great condition and there is a sign with the hole layout, distance, and par for each hole.
Just about impossible to lose a disc on this course unless you roll one into the pond.

Cons: The course is great for a beginner as far as length and open shots, but for anyone with more experience, the course is short. Most of the holes only average 200 feet, with the longest not even touching 300 feet. Therefore, if you are looking for a challenge or improving your game, this wouldn't be a course for you.
Other Thoughts: Excellent course for beginners. And for all others, it is still a nice course to play where everything is laid out nicely and kept up. And it'll be a confidence booster when you tally up your score! Will definitely visit again!

Cons: *Kinda short (overshooting it with distance drivers)
Other Thoughts: Can Be a great course for beginners. This course could use an extension of the baskets to make it a little more difficult. Overall a good course

Short, short and short 
Pros: Good course for beginners or if you want to practice your approach shots. Nice tee signs and pads.
Cons: Very short, lots of people, got bored quick with this course
Other Thoughts: Well maintained but the length kills this course. 18 holes feel squeezed in to the park. Would not recommend anyone travel any distance to play this course.

Good Overall Experience 
Pros: Great variety of holes. Combo of woods and open. Well maintained minimizes disc suck into the woods. Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere
Cons: Exposure to non-playing public at ball fields and picnic areas. Park is busy on weekends.
Other Thoughts: A really nice place to play. I enjoyed this course as much and any that I played on the PDGA tours.

This review was updated on 3/12/2012
Pros: Beautiful, well kept course. Grass was mowed on fairways and looked great. Lots of amenities, clean bathrooms at the beginning and the end of the course. Benches and trash cans sprinkled about. At least two very nice playgrounds for kids. This is also the absolute best FTF (First Time Friendly) course I have ever played! Each hole was easily marked and flowed perfectly from one hole to the next. If you ever get confused, take a breath and look around the next tee is not hard to find even in the woods. Concrete tee pads! Good mix of clear and wooded holes.
Cons: Short! Most holes are Ace shots, and even the difficult ones are birdable and a three at worst. If you are looking to grip and rip, this isn't the course for you. Other than the lack of distance its hard to find issue with this park.
Other Thoughts: An excellent time of DG to be found here, but not much of a challenge for a seasoned player. I'm probably intermediate at best so it was great, but for a pro it may be too easy. Can't stress enough what a great park this was located in. Tennis courts and baseball fields line the DG course along with picnic areas. Just a perfect place to take the family. Easy enough that they can join you for a round or just a super park to entertain the kids and Mom while you play a fast round!
Some Fav Holes: 7) FH ONLY! Unforgiving if you only have a BH! 8)Nice use of elevation, basket up on a hill. 9) Ace shot if there ever was one. Do not overthrow! 11)Tight, Tight fairway with trees lining everywhere! Roots all over the putting area to increase the difficulty. Note: The wooded holes here really hate the BH! You have to at least have a bit of a FH or it will be a long day! Be warned with no FH an easy course will eat your lunch.

The Mini Disc Golf Course of Disc Golf
Pros: - A great course for all skill levels.
- Advanced players will love the ace and birdie runs.
- Beginners will get to work on the basics of the game and have a lot of fun as well.
- You can use most throws on any hole, I've seen people hammer the whole course.
- Concrete pads with good signs on every hole.
- Great use of elevation, ranging from extreme uphill to moderately downhill.
- Good mix of hyzers, annies, and straight shots.
- Easy to get multiple rounds in very quickly, shortest round I've gotten in without running is 25 minutes.
- Good mix of open/wooded holes (about half & half)
- Bathrooms between #18 and #1 with water fountain.
- Trash cans throughout the course.

Cons: - Pond that comes into play on #6 and #10, if it goes in there, most likely, you're not getting it back.
- Hole #5's easiest throw for a RHBH is a easy hyzer over a walkway and near a pavilion, so you have to pay attention to other park-goers.
- Hole #6's tee is located right next to one of the baseball fields, which I've seen people use as a place to set up their chairs.

Other Thoughts: - The best place to park is the parking lot by the tennis courts that you get to by using the Ivy Creek Lane entrance (170 Ivy Creek Lane).
- #1's tee from the parking lot is past the tennis courts and pavilion.
:: Hole Notes ::
#4 - If you've got a flick (RHFH), use it to get through the trees and have it fade towards the basket.
#5 - The absolute ideal shot in my opinion would be a RHFH flick that would annie and then come back towards the basket at the end, but generally just use the big easy hyzer route.
#6 - For a RHBH, either a long annie or a flick would work, just don't overshoot the hole to the right, otherwise the pond comes into play.
#7 - One of the more difficult tee shots on the course, keep it going from left to right the whole time and you'll be fine.
#8 - A hammer up the hill will work every time.
#10 - Hammer works here as well.
#11 - A spotter on this hole wouldn't be a bad idea, you get bad rolls often. If you can land it to the left side of the basket, you'll have a good chance for the 2.
#16 - Either a flick on the left side of the fairway or an accurate backhand through the trees on the right work well.
#17 - I've seen rollers work on this hole, but a hyzer around all of the trees over the garden is the easiest shot for me.
#18 - A low soft backhand through and under the trees put you right near the basket. Just watch the hill to the right as it'll roll all the way back to 17's tee if you're not careful.
- #1's tee from the parking lot is past the tennis courts and pavilion.

Birdies-B-Us 
Pros:
Nice signs and concrete teepads at each hole. Fairly natural flow, easy for a first-time visitor to navigate, even w/o a map. Decent mixture of open and wooded holes, many moderate elevation changes.
Located in very nice, multi-purpose park with bathrooms and waterfountains near tee #1/basket #18.

Cons:
Being a multi-purpose park, you'll have multi-users there, some of which will be crossing your path on holes 1-6.

Other Thoughts:
Open holes (which do include some trees to deal with) 1-6, 17-18 have a distance range of 180'-290', average being 240'. Wooded holes 7-16 have a distance range of 120'-175', average being 150'.
Navigation:
- Park near bathroom just before tennis courts, tee #1 is just below far back corner of these courts.
- First three holes all go in the same direction, down and across the slope.
- Hole 4, make a hard right, nearly doubling back on yourself. #5 flows in the same direction.
- Hole #6, turn left - you'll be throwing across the hillside, softball field to your left, other parking lot to your right.
- Following wooded-holes 7-16 is straightforward.
- #17 is just outside the woods, to the left, then cross the drive for #18 and throw a hard, but not long, left, leaving you near the bathrooms and parking lot.
This course would be very good for beginners - the holes are on the short side, the wooded holes, except for #16, have fairly wide throwing paths, and there is minimal chance to lose a disc - no thick underbrush. Experienced players can have fun working on their approach game and going for birdies.
