Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 13, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

1. Clean park with course set in area not often used by other people
2. Many different types of shots required throughout the nine holes. Good mix of open and wooded holes, anhyzer and hyzer shots, a few moderate doglegs, up and downhill shots, and blind shots on #6 and #9
3. Water hazard on signature hole #3 and #1, OB walking paths on #2, #3, #4, #5, #8 to add more challenge to the course.
4. Water spigot by hole #9 basket

Cons:

DGA M-14 baskets are not designed for permanent outdoor use; these baskets will rust eventually. The bolts holding them together are rusting already. 14 lightweight chains do not catch your disc like most other baskets do.

Other Thoughts:

This course has a ton of potential and can easily be improved upon by a few local disc golfers or a club. There is ample space for an additional 9 baskets in the park.
Hole #3, not sure which came first, the light up cross or the disc golf course, haha.
*EDIT*
since my last review, tee signs and pads are in and change my opinion quite a bit. I miss this course and would love to play it again. Moving my rating from 2.0 to 3.0 thanks to the course improvements.
