Great Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 9, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great Variety, some holes down hill some holes up hill. Diffrent pars, most ly par 4's. Most signs are intact and well made. Concrete pads, not a hard walk. Alternating goals, so the course changes up once or twice a year. Hazy Shade disc store nearby, which has a great selection of discs. Soccer field to practice (if no ones playing on it) Park is well maintained.

Cons:

Some signs are down, some holes take a little work to find, but dayton disc golf has a map online for first timers. Slightly congested, but not bad on weekdays or early on weekends. Goals are old and a little rusty (but stil fine)

Other Thoughts:

Overall a great course, always fun to play with friends.

Belmont Rocs 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 19, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Interesting holes an terrain. Good mix of trees, hills up and down, left-hand, right-hand shots, some open holes and some pretty good distance holes including a 607-footer. ~11 holes longer than 300ft.

Cons:

Some missing signs, a few confusing walks between tees (just print a map up and bring it) for first timers, I played the wrong basket a couple of times (hole 5, and maybe 12 - didn't see basket up agains rightside tree line), but some locals helped me, so I could replay (guess that is a pro), baskets are pretty old. Very busy on a Saturday afternoon. Quite a bit of erosion around some of the baskets.

Other Thoughts:

Great course, plays in about 1:15 with 1-2 people in your group. Start at 10:00am or before on the weekends and you will have a pretty empty course. No real dog-leg holes. Speak of dogs, a lot of people play with their dogs in tow (I am new to the sport and I don't know the etiquette - probably course specific - is this cool or not?). Stop by the Hazy Shade for a huge selection of discs and chat up the employees for tips and suggestions.

Great Dayton City Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 20, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great course in old wooded area. Easy to follow. Challenging pin placements make running for long deuces risky. Variety of distances to please all arms. Uphill and downhill shots with rolling opportunities. Wind can be a factor. No thick rough. Course is heavily played, so if you don't know the track, you can join a group that does.

Cons:

Plays close to some residential yards. Minor vandalism.

Other Thoughts:

Hidden behind a residential area in Dayton. Once you're done with your round, head over to Hazy Shade and pick up some plastic.

Beautiful Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 18, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good Mix of Shot Types
Nice Mix of Distances
Great Use of Elevation
Mature Trees Add Challenge
Locals Are Friendly and Helpful
Benches and Trash Cans Throughout
Beautiful Park Setting
Very Well-Maintained
Course Map Near First Tee
Plenty of Large Shade Trees

Cons:

Parking Lot is Small
Can Get Crowded
No Restrooms
Off Throws Can Land in Fenced Yards

Other Thoughts:

This is one of my favorite courses to play in Ohio. It has a beautiful setting with rolling hills and mature trees. They make great use of the elevation changes which is challenging and a lot of fun. My favorite hole is #9, you tee off a top a hill, basket is located across a little valley with the basket on top of the other side.

Course is always clean and grass is always cut. There are a few trash cans throughout the course, and it has always been litter free when I have played, so please be sure to throw your trash away. While the course can get very crowded most the people I have encountered are true golfers, friendly, helpful, and respectful, they way every course should be.

The course is fairly easy to navigate, however there can be a couple spots that are tricky. There is a map available online and there is also a large map near the first tee, so you should have no problem navigating if you have these.

The course has great variety. There are a mix of left to right and also straight shots. The are also a great mix of up hill and down hill shots which can add challenge to even some of the shorter holes. While the course is fairly open there are also some large mature trees that create obstacles and add even more challenge and beauty to the course as well.

The course can get very crowded on evening and weekends, so if you like to avoid the crowds as much as possible you will want to visit during the day. If crowds don't really bother you visit whenever you can. Some courses I like to avoid the crowds on, but most of the people I have talked to here were very friendly and respectful, true dg-ers on this course. I would recommend this course to anyone in the area, if you only have time for one course in the area this is it.

The park itself can be a little hard to get to, the entrance to the course is off of Highridge Ave. at the intersection of Lynhurst Ave. As I stated there is a bulletin board/map near the first tee, so just look for that near the back of the parking lot.

Nice Neighborhood Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 29, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice legacy course. This course has been around and it shows, from the crowd of diehards hanging out on an Autumn Wednesday afternoon to the obvious age of the baskets and signage. I felt like I was throwing Dayton's answer to KCs Swope Park course only in a nicer neighborhood.

Cons:

Some signs were missing causing me to doubt whether I was throwing at the right basket but I did choose right throughout.

Other Thoughts:

If I lived in the area I would be happy to call this my home course. There was a pro-shop next to #3 basket but it wasn't open at the time. This seems like a great place to hang out. Visit, you'll be glad you did. I was on a tight schedule and was still able to hang out around the bed of a pickup with some locals and shoot the breeze for a few. Disc golf love lives here.

True Dayton 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to follow layout...significant elevation changes...moderate challenge. The best thing about this course is the people who play there. True Dayton, OH disc golfers frequent this course and they are always friendly, never ornery (or as they say in Dayton..."awwww-nry").

Cons:

Some of the holes can get muddy in the rain. There are no official water hazards (another drawback), but you might feel like there are when the bog-like conditions develop.

Other Thoughts:

Stop by Belmont for a fun, hassle-free round in the heart of the D.Y.T. (Dayton)!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 15, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course, reasonably open but enough trees to be a challenge at times, nice park.

Cons:

The holes are a little hard to find at times and some of the signs are missing.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not sure why, but playing this course was the most fun I've had disc golfing in a while. Probably not the place to go if you're looking for a major challenge, but a great place to work on shots or just play a relaxing round.

I love the course and the people I met there. I will return again and again...
