Pros:

Interesting layout for a 9 hole course. Lefty and righty friendly with multiple lines on most holes once you get past the mandos. Subtle elevation adds a little flavor as well. Lots of variety considering the somewhat limited space available. A few of the short tees provide good runs for a potential ace. Baskets are in great shape, the course has been beat in well in its short history, and it flows pretty well. The OB asphalt area forced some island-like shots on current hole 7 and some careful consideration on 9. The length from the longs felt appropriate and added a different dynamic than the shorts.

Cons:

As mentioned elsewhere, the map available here has a different numbering than the pseudo signage I saw during my rounds. #9 is now #1, #1 is #2, etc. The distances on the signs didn't seem to represent truth. The reported distances seemed much longer than what I saw/walked. Not really any wooded holes, pretty much open with the exception of the forced lines.

The natural tees seem short, especially when playing the longs. The short tees are borderline silly in a couple of places in regards to distances. I'm thinking of current hole 2 specifically, as well as 4. Not even a pitch and putt distance, felt more like a putt and putt.

The mandos on 6 of the 9 holes feel egregious as well. I understand the intent, I just question the judgement. Current hole two that runs paralle to the road to the east is an example of a good mando. I'm not sure I understand the point of the mandos on current hole one. Why a mando on 5? Is it a predisposition to anti-overhand? Just felt weird at times. Is the mando on the correct tree on 6?

I got a small spot of poison ivy somewhere on the course. I wasn't in the thicket much so I'm not sure where I picked it up in my two quick rounds.

Other Thoughts:

There are rumors that this course is growing in the near future and the area to the south of the 9 holes has some serious potential to add some length and even more variety to the course. I hope the designers maximize the available land and let disc golfers play the course, not force mandos on hole after hole.

Nice 9 and new 18 coming late '15 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 3, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice layout - but different from map. #1 is now #2 etc. and #9 is now #1. Spoke with a park worker and he said that's due to a new 18 being added and #18 of that will now be close to the new #1 of the original course. He said it should open toward the middle or late June 2015.
**Update - as of mid August the new 18 was not yet open - walked a few of the holes we could find on 8-16 (tee boxes and signs are in place) and it looks like it's going to be a VERY challenging and fairly long course ***
Otherwise the course is nice - relatively new. Challenging enough for experienced players and newbies like myself and my son. Signage was nice and the mandos made it interesting.

Cons:

None really other than you can't drive into the park itself.. but have to park just inside the main gate and walk to the course/tees. There is a road and parking areas but according to the worker it's only for those who have rented the pavilion. Kinda stupid if you ask me.

Other Thoughts:

EDIT - The new 18 is open .. finally. This one is now apparently Course B and the 18 is course A. http://www.dgcoursereview.com...e.php?id=8015

STILL waiting on the new 18 to open. Saw a city worker and he said they're building a bridge to an island green in a pond. But that's the same thing I was told by a different worker in June. Tee boxes look like they've been there about a year by the looks of the mulch.
