Pros:
I won't slight this 9 hole course for what it should be . Either a good open starter course for newbies or families , or a warmup for the White course . If you park your car at #1 White next to the bathrooms , you just have to look for the cement path to the left as you are facing the bathroom and walk down to a small cement one story building to your left . On the other side of that building is your first tee , A . You might want a map for this . The first 3 baskets are wide open birdie opportunities that go in sort of a triangle around a big field . There is little chance of losing a disc unless you griplock a throw on C and send it into a creek . You cross the cement path and head left ( the basket directly in front of you is G . You throw D from the open to a little grove of trees that should affect your drive . You throw E into the open to the end of the park . You will have an inclination to walk to H and throw back along the water toward where you came , but you will have to walk past the tee pad , go to the road and cross the water to a tee directly on the other side . Your drive will keep the water to your right and some trees will keep your drive lower , but lack of trees will let you throw directly at the pin . All of the tees and baskets to this point are flat except for G , which you have to climb the hill to your left and throw down and left to right with mature trees forcing your drive to stay low . If there was a signature hole worth mentioning on this course , it would be this one . After throwing G , you go back up to the road and around the water to H . Keeping the water to your immediate left on H & I , these are the finishing holes . Both are pretty open throws . The baskets are in good shape , but no trash cans , so carry in and out . Cement tee pads are roomy enough for this course length. Little chance of losing a disc unless it drifts into the canal
Cons:
#1 . No assurance where you are going and where you are throwing to on this course . No tee signs , no markers , and no letters or number on the baskets . The flow from E to F and back to H is confusing at best . No map = backtracking or missing a hole or 2 , at least .#2 Being open and flat , wind will come into play . Be careful . That brand new driver may be eaten by the canal that could come into play if a gust turns your throw over. #3 very bland holes . nothing creative or interesting . #4 No benches , trash cans , arrows pointing you to where you need to be . #5 because it is so flat , this course holds a lot of water after a god rain . Holes B , and C were an ankle deep swamp when I played .
Other Thoughts:
All in all , the overseers of this course did what they set out to , I guess , and made a course set just far enough away from the White course for newbies , families or a warmup round for the White course . Tee signs would really help this course . I saw several unused blank tee signs from the old Spiker course still standing around next to unused tee pads . Maybe that can pull some of those up and utilize them . Still , you can't put a course down too much that can combine to make 27 holes of disc golf on a nice weekend day .
