To be or not to be... a disc golf course? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-good quality baskets
-nice little park that's obviously well-utilized by local folks
-some of the golf shots are decent, and the trees/baskets would make for some high-quality practice as long as the park isn't too busy

Cons:

-missing some baskets
-course flow not entirely clear
-some previous hole placements have been made obsolete by new park features (e.g. fenced-in courts)

Other Thoughts:

I appreciate jimbo's review giving some insight. You can tell the park is well-used (often crowded and probably continuing to develop). That's usually a plus, but it's not particularly good for the disc golf course here, as it means you're likely to have folks on multiple fairways. I was there fairly early in the morning on a summer week day, and the splash pad was already busy. I recall only 6 baskets, and fewer tees (one of which was still pointing to a missing basket).

Its baskets are certainly much better than courses I'd typically give such a low rating to. I considered giving a 1.0, but the hole layout needs some rearrangement given newer park features. It might be improved upon by moving some baskets/tees away from the splash pad and using some of the less crowded area of the already small park.

Decent baskets 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 19, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

+the baskets are nice Mach 5s
+grass is maintained well
+fair amount of shade

Cons:

-only 6 baskets
-tee boxes hard to locate on most holes
-park equipment on the fairways

Other Thoughts:

This "course" is little more than a practice area. Basket 2 is missing.
It's an okay place to practice, if there is no one else using the park that is---there's a playground in the middle of the park that errant throws can easily hit.

Really not worth going out of your way for.
