Lack of direction on course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

There were nine baskets.

Each tee off (never a full power shot as all holes were between 160-290 ft).

Good use of trees as hazards from each tee pad.

ers are fine, beginners will skip it).

Cons:

The direction from one basket to the next was kind of a hassel, and there were many tee signs missing (I think 6 of the 9 holes didn't have them).

There were two holes that you threw across the water (advanced players are fine, beginners will skip it).

Navigation got even harder when hole 6 and 8 decided to share a tee sign and tee pad (went from hole 5, saw hole 7 and 8, couldnt find 6 until we finally got to 8).

Some shots had little to no path to even aim your disc on the initial throw with how the trees and bushes have become overgrown (thinking hole 9 espcially)

Other Thoughts:

If you don't mind a little scanvenger hunt to find each tee pad and basket, this course was great for working on your midrange shots with obstacles. Still fun!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 23, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to play
Able to play the course quickly
Little used park

Cons:

Close to playground, may not be able to throw if children are present
Close to a picnic shelter
Holes are short, mutiple tees for different holes

Other Thoughts:

I had cousins that lived in this town as we grew up. We went to this park many times as children. It was fun for me to play this park because it brought back many memories of my cousin who we lost a few years ago. This was a fun park to play for me, but I would not have gone out of my way for this course if I did not have a sentimental reason to.

short but nice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 1, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

very nice setting, clean and well maintained park. a few holes that require some thought before throwing. very light pressure, yet to see anyone else there

Cons:

tees are a little tough to find, 3-4 holes share the same basket, so if there were more than a few groups throwing it could be very dangerous.

Other Thoughts:

great short course, my son actually birdied 2 holes, so a great beginner course. the creek is fairly shallow so any over throws on 3-4 shouldn't cause any issues for retrieval. very scenic and worth a play for the 15 minute drive north from waterloo, not sure if id go out of my way if i was much farther away tho.
