Pros:
(1.276 Rating) A simple short park style course to learn the game on.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - An ideal beginners course with simple obstacles on most holes and even one hole that is obstacle free. Overgrowth is limited to areas along the left and behind basket (3). Disc loss possibilities will be limited to forgetting to pick up. Lots of birdie and par potential for Novice level players.
- QUICK PLAY - Very bagger friendly as it will take just 20 minutes for most solos. Not too far from Interstate I10 either.
- MAINTENANCE - The park was very well maintained on my appearance.

Cons:
Too basic and too bland.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - This course will be disappointing to higher skilled players looking for a demanding layout. An even par score might only bring an 820 rating. Pretty much no technical challenge. The longest hole is only about 300 feet and several are under 200 feet.
- UNIQUENESS - I threw a putter or mid on seven of the nine holes and I can't backhand over 325 feet. Every basket can be thrown at within a couple degrees of straight ahead. Few trees define the fairway edges and the elevation change could be measured in inches.
- SPACING - The fairways edges are undefined and jammed together. I personally had no trouble staying on target, but newer players will surely throw in other fairways.
- CHARACTER - Other than good baskets, the basics of tees and navigation are poor and the extra amenities are not present.
- NAVIGATION - I only reason I didn't have a lot of trouble was because of the open landscape. The only navigational cue on this layout is the numbered baskets. Seriously, how much effort does it take to sharpie a paver with a number. SMH.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - The ginormous trees are cool, but that's it. I scored the course a 2 out of 5 where 2.5 is my average score for beauty for all the courses I've played to date.

Other Thoughts:
I was extremely disappointed by this course. There were no ratings on DGCR, prior to my visit, so I had to go with unreliable UDisc ratings. A 4.2 on that site, until my score dropped it to a 4.1. Extension Park barely offers the basics of the game. Skilled players in the area would only be able to get field practice by playing here. Great however for local families and newer players. As for baggers? As always, this is a must play course.
