Fine for a quick round

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Course has a map that is easy to follow. It is in downtown in a small town, which gives it a different feel from big city courses.
Holes 2-4 provide some interesting shots. 2 involves a sharp turn to the right over a parking area. 3 is a sweeping turn to the left with a deep pit on one side and thick woods on the other. 4 involves a throw down an abandoned road, over a large brush pile, and then to the basket over the left.
A beginner would like practicing approach shots here.
It is part of the city park, but doesn't intrude too close to picnic tables or walking paths.
Superior to the Hill College course, as it is better maintained.

Cons:

It takes enough effort to drive to and locate that it would not be worth it without combining trips; in other words it is not a destination course.
The only area that appears designated for parking leaves your car in the path of disc flight on holes 2 and 4.
There are 6 open holes.
No restrooms or water in the park.
Baskets are rigid, leaving discs bouncing out of them if you aren't careful.

Other Thoughts:

If you are looking for amenities and manicured fairways, you will need to play elsewhere, but worth a stop if driving through, to say you have played it.
Scout holes 2-4 before teeing off, or you might hit your own car or end up taking a throw from the bottom of a pit!
