Evergreen Park is...it's...I mean...it's just awful. It does have 18 holes. It's got Mach V's. It has tee signs. It's easy to follow the flow. Some of the holes on the front nine aren't awful. So it's got that.

The original course (front nine) is mostly shorter wooded holes and the back is mostly open holes with more distance, so there is a little bit of variety. There is some elevation changes on the course. If you are the only person in the park, it's not too bad.

If there is anybody else in the park, you are going to have to actively work to avoid them. Holes 1 & 9 shoot at each other. Holes 8's basket is in hole 2's fairway. Holes 1, 2 and 10 shoot very close to a road. Holes 10, 11, 12 & 13 shoot along or over a paved walking path. Hole 11 has an amphitheater in the fairway. Holes 14 & 17 shoot at each other. Holes 15 & 16 shoot at each other. Hole 16 plays right next to a ball field fence. Hole 18's basket is in hole 10's fairway. The course just constantly conflicts with itself or other park uses.

The course flows well and is easy to follow. It's easy to follow because a lot of the tees are just steps away from the last basket. There is not nearly enough of a buffer distance between them.

The holes just don't pay off in fun factor. Hole 16 for example runs parallel to hole 15 but is set up the hill. On the right is a ballfields outfield fence. To the left is the drop-off down the hill into 15's fairway. The safe fairway to hit is 15-20' wide. It would probably be an OK shot if it was 220', but it's 372'. At that distance I end up hanging a hyzer out over the ball field and risk it either not clearing the fence back to the fairway or getting it too high and having it hyzer down the hill toward 15 (or 14 since it's basket is down there as well). Of course these factors make the shot harder, but it's not a fun sort of hard and it has safety concerns. It's just not a shot you would see an experienced course designer incorporate.

There are some alternate tees the locals play that make the layout even more dangerous, so there is that.

Disc golf doesn't fit into a lot of parks very well, but we cram disc golf courses in them anyway. Evergreen Park is one of those courses. If you lived there, you would play it. If you don't live there, you don't have to play it. If you are ever driving by St. Clair on I-44, just remember that you don't have to play it, smile, and keep driving.
