Did Anyone Read The On-Line Map Carefully? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 26, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Being a parks/recreation person myself, I would love to talk to the Henderson Parks and Recreation professional who designed this course. This being Las Vegas, I'd be willing to bet a very large sum of money that no disc golfers were consulted in the planning/designing/building of this course. Why do I so strongly feel this way.

Let me count the ways:

1) Silly little round tee pads which are so impractical.
2) Poorly designed course with criss-crossing holes.
3) Navigation difficulties. No numbers on baskets, tee pads or signage.
4) My favorite. The on-line map published by Henderson Parks and Recreation Department. According to my map here, HOLE # 1 is 1155 FEET LONG! Hole # 7, the shortest on the course measures out at 531 FEET. Decent length for a little pitch and putt course. See the solution below in my other thoughts!

Cons:

Everything about this little course was a con.

Navigation was a nightmare. Unmarked baskets were set too close to retaining walls, drainage areas, people, etc.

No signage.

Other Thoughts:

The answer to # 4 above. The same genius who designed this course also listed the distance in yards but took the actual footage from the holes. So # 1 at 385 feet is listed at 385 yards. It would take Rory Mcllroy about a five iron to reach it, wouldn't it? 385 yards X 3 = 1155 feet.

Great for practice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 3, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice baskets. Very nice sign showing where the tees and baskets are "supposed" to be. Very nice, well kept park with a BMX track and nice playgrounds. Great to occupy kids while you get a round in. Small, concrete tee pads but at least they are there.

There are a couple of decent holes. Hole one is a long 335 ft hyzer shot.

It is a decent course to practice and warm up. I have been there 3 separate times and I have yet to see another person, let alone another disc golfer. May change towards to fall when it isn't 100+ degrees outside.

Cons:

Very small course. Very hard to follow. No signs on the tees. No markings on any of the baskets. It was extremely hard to figure out which basket went with which hole and which holes had tee pads. Very confusing.

I also encountered the drainage issue today. The basket for hole 2 was muddy and hard to get to without getting covered in smelly mud. Hole 3 had a huge mud/water hole near the basket.

The course is really narrow and criss-crosses across.

Other Thoughts:

This course has potential. There is room on the other side of the BMX track for another 9 holes, which would make it more useable.

It would be awesome if the park would put some identification on the holes so it is more user friendly.

All in all, it isn't the worst course I have played but it is pretty close.

Afterthought 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 27, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice new Baskets. Plenty of Parking.

Cons:

Tees are small concert circles. Too small. Trees directly in front of tee pads leaving no "fair"way for beginners. All water from surrounding properties runs off into this bowl shaped multi use park. One pin was installed in a swampy area. Tee signs looked to be inaccurate with location and distances on some holes.

Other Thoughts:

This park area is mainly for use as a baseball complex. Biking jumps, and walkways. Disc golf was an afterthought, and suffers from cramped space, and poor design/available land.
