Ethel Lee Tracy

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 26, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Concrete tee pads, 5x10.
-- Best holes are 5, 6 and 9. Five is 235 feet down a 30-40 foot wide fairway to a basket on the left edge with thick bushes and rough. Six is really short (106 feet), but it's RHFH down a 15-foot wide tunnel with water long; the slope down to the water starts 18 feet past the basket. Nine is 219 feet RHBH hyzer through a fairly tight tunnel for the first 160 feet. However, the tee pad is overgrown.
-- Navigation is good. Most of the time you can easily see the next tee pad from the previous basket.

Cons:

-- Mixed baskets. All are Innova, but some are single chain models.
-- Mostly open holes on flat terrain with few trees.
-- No map, water or restrooms.
-- Tee signs are just a number on a metal post. No other information is available.
-- No. 3 has no basket. Based on UDisc, locals apparently play from an unmarked spot back to the No. 2 basket.
-- No. 7 could be the best hole on the course. It has water left and thick bushes right. However, the flight path to the basket has a small covered picnic table 50 feet short of the basket. And you can't see that picnic table from the tee.
-- Holes 2 and 4 play parallel to each other in opposite directions. They are so close that it is very likely a throw will end up in the other fairway.

Other Thoughts:

-- This course opened more than two decades ago, but it appears to have been redesigned. Hole distances don't match those listed. Descriptions of really bad rough, etc. also don't match what I saw.

Game of Thorns 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 14, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well manicured fairways and zero golf traffic in a public park. Baskets are not all the same but in decent shape. Concrete tee pads were a nice surprise for a course like this.

Cons:

1 - Some of the worst thorns I have ever seen lining the majority of the fairways. If you miss you bleed.

2 - Zero creativity to the holes. Basically playing in a open field until you hit the last few thorn lined disasters.

3 - hole 7 has no actual lines to play and the tee box is covered in poison ivy.

4 - No hole markings, just a sign showing what tee box you are on.

5 - the basket for hole 5 is hiding in a bush in front of 8's basket and if you don't know where it is you will throw past it to 8 from the tee.

6 - huge ticks

Other Thoughts:

I've never seen such a punishing course for missing a fairway. Especially for a neighborhood beginer level course. Good chance if you miss the fairway you won't be getting your disc back. Yes, the thorns are really that bad. Bring a retriever and wear long pants. Or, better yet. Go somewhere else.

Terrible Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 25, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is never really any traffic and you are able to play at whatever pace you desire.

Cons:

Holes are all very short and poorly arranged/designed. There are patches of super dense thicket with tons of thorns that love to swallow discs. Even if you can see the disc, there is no getting it out! Course is poorly managed and basket conditions are rough.

Other Thoughts:

My brother and I were playing and 2 discs were lost in the immensely dense patches of thicket within the first 5 holes. I think playing this course once was more than I wanted. If you are in this area, definitely go to Riverside DGC.
