Fair Park Disc Golf 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 18, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

My three pros:
-Really cool first 2 holes with the elevated basket and over the water shot. Some cool use of the lake by putting the baskets nearby.
-I went on a beautiful sunday around noon and there was noone else playing the course and very few park-goers. This made it easy to play through without worrying about hitting somebody.
-Nice variety between holes, i didnt feel like any holes were repetitive due to the use of the terrain and various obstacles (other than basket placement -see below)

Cons:

My three cons:
-Only 9 holes. There are dual tees at all holes but I felt the short tee was a little too short most holes so i didnt bother playing those. There are long basket positions shown on the course map but no long baskets so maybe thats something to come? With longer baskets added playing both baskets from the long tees could be fun, but there may not be space for more baskets.
-Many baskets were sunken down next to the lake which got a little old after a while. Rather than placing the basket at the top of the hill on #4,5,6, or 8 it is out of sight at the bottom of the hill close to the water.
-Tee pads dont have signs but a colored hole number. With many baskets somewhat out of sight becasue theyre sunken down I had to walk the hole a few times to find the basket.

Other Thoughts:

I was weary coming to the park on such a nice weekend day a i figured it would be crawling with kids and fishers but I only had to wait breifly for some walkers on #2. The park is nice but could still use some additions. I'd think a sign pointing to go down the road for #8 would be helpful. Im not sure what space is there but id think a couple holes could be added next to #8, maybe using the big storage trailers somehow. Also, i could see the potential for an awesome shot across the lake from behind #8 basket to the #6 basket, or something like that. I think this park was pretty fun, this "Fair Park" was a little nicer than the fair park i'm used to in Dallas...
