Other Thoughts:
An alright course to try if you are in the area. Not difficult at all, seems like it was designed with normal recreation discs in mind. Its in a park with a few trees around which only slightly deter throwers. All short holes so a mid-range and putter should do. Some random truck with some authority figure kept staring at us like we we're hooligans. No real hazards here so it is a good beginners course.

Pros:
This is a nice couse that is well maintained. Offers a variety of shots that will help improve your game for the bigger courses. Holes are well marked and easy to find.
Cons:
Not a long course. Mid range with putter combination would be just fine. The baskets are average with few chains and a shallow basket itself, causing more discs to ricochet off or fall out when they shoudn't.
Other Thoughts:
Very nice park that offers camping, swimming, softball, and most importantly DISC GOLF! Softball and disc golf could interfere causing some problems, but it adds to the difficulty which I like. With better baskets this course would have a better rating from me.

Pros:
Fast paced holes. excellent grooming of terrain. Rolling hills and plenty of obstacles make for a unique 9 hole experience. Camping and beach access nearby. No wait time.
Cons:
Baskets are cheaper and are prone to discs falling out easier. Hole #2 fairway is over a softball field and other holes have picnic grounds in or near. Pars do not seem to match distance.
Other Thoughts:
I enjoy this course because it combines many elements, water hazards, natural and man made obstacles, and a challenging terrain. Its short holes with high pars make for excellent scores but wont test your skills. Also, the nearest retail of discs is over 30 miles away, meaning not many people play this course.
