Long before becoming a household name due to recent events, the city of East Palestine was known for its friendly locals, beautiful scenery, and strong community bond.

All of those qualities are still alive and well in this town, and that shines through with its gorgeous City Park and new disc golf course.

+ Each hole has a concrete tee pad and a detailed, colored tee sign. The signs are some of the best I've seen to date.

+ The baskets are bright green Prodigy's. Each basket has a large number plate at the top, which is a nice touch that you don't see at many courses.

+ The changes in elevation make this course stand out. You have a top-of-the-world shot early on with the 448-foot par 3 on #7. Another steep downhill shot returns on #12.

+ The pond shots on #3 and #4 provide great risk-reward opportunities.

- After a fantastic front 9, a few of the holes on the back side are a little underwhelming. #17 and #18 are flat, wide open, and straight.

- Navigation is fairly easy to follow, but there are no directional signs or arrows. It would be nice to see these added.

- Several holes play very close to roadways. These roads may be a little bit busy as well with both vehicles and pedestrians.

This is a newer course that plays like it's been in the ground for years. I would highly recommend playing if you're in the Youngstown area!
