Ridgefield Resilient 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-The awesome 222 foot downhill putt on hole 8
-Nice paver tee pads
-Brand new Innova DISCatcher baskets with hole numbers on the yellow bands
-Practice basket, restrooms and working water fountain between the parking lot and hole 1
-Bright blue and orange signage pointing to next tee pads
-Great toy structures at the park

Cons:

-No course map available
-Tee pads don't say hole number
-No bomber holes

Other Thoughts:

There is a large banner above highway 501 heading into town which states "We are Ridgefield Resilient". They might be referring to the whole pandemic thing, but after playing the local disc golf course, I think it's best I give some steps on how to become Abrams Park resilient.
Step 1- Bring an entire can of Deet. A sizable scourge of mosquitoes has inhabited the park and they were very blood thristy when my family was there at 4:00 on a sunny afternoon.
Step 2- Leave kids at the park below. Abrams park sits on the edge of a steep hill. It's one of those hills that makes you mad you stopped working out at the gym. Your kids will no doubt complain if you have them tag along through the ups and downs.
Step 3- Survive the understory. We're talking fern city, ivy city and thorn city all in one. I would suggest, no REQUIRE, that you bring a spotter and wear long pants. The paths are cleared, and I'd say the course is pretty well maintained, but much of the rough is nothing but pure Pacific Northwest nature. It may look beautiful to the naked eye, but it just wants to punish you and your disc.

And that's about all there is to it. Make it through without a bite, cut, or lost disc and you can consider yourself Abrams Park disc golf course resilient.

I certainly wouldn't have through to stick a 9-hole course in that location, but I commend the brave folks who put it there. A unique experience will be had!

New course in Ridgefield 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 1, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

New baskets, great tee pads and adequate signage.

Cons:

Stinging Nettles are not my friend. Finding lost discs is a challenge as there is still much underbrush.

Other Thoughts:

Thanks Myk for getting the City of Ridgefield to back this project.
