A new park 9 (with talk of expanding to 18) that mixes open, wooded, elevation and a water carry. Short tees suitable for beginners.


The holes are mostly open and use flat parts of the park. A few have well-defined grassy fairways with woods on either side. It's a fine if unremarkable park layout until the end: Hole #7 is an honest-to-God 200' water carry with the basket just up the slope from the far shore of the pond. Hole #8 is a controlled downhill glider. Hole #9 is a surprisingly difficult finisher: 386' with a stream on the left and hardwoods on the right, and a fairway gradually narrowing to a protected basket

- Growing pains that are typical for a new course: grass tees and temp signage (laminated paper on sticks), and a little difficult to navigate without directional arrows. Some transitions are not really intuitive ( for example, you take a long unmarked path uphill through woods to reach tee # 7)


- There are a few places where multiple visible baskets make it confusing which you're supposed to be throwing at. They try to make this bug into a feature on hole #6 (see picture) by showing the distance the baskets 6, 7 and 8 - so I guess you could choose alternate layouts for multiple plays

~ Excellent "Grow the Sport" Permanent baskets (silver and unlabelled - I thought they might be homemade). 30 chains, heavy duty, as good as anything I've played


~ Active local club. Lost disc box near tee #3 (and the club mailed my lost disc to me!). They mentioned that they're planning to expand to 18, and I expect the tees and signage will eventually be as good as any park course. The park itself is 100 acres, with lots of woods


~ Parking is around a dirt circle. It's a bit tight due to other park users (seems to have been a very popular dog park). There's an open field that might take additional parking - but that might be the cricket field that's part of Clatter Valley Town Park
