Quick and Fun Niner! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 30, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

This nine-hole course set in the smaller sized Faircrest Park is a perfect addition to the disc golf scene in the area. Every hole has two grippy concrete tee pads, two very nice tee signs, and a single, shiny Chainstar basket.

Playing mostly on the perimeter of the parks green space, the course plays on some rolling hills and around some mature trees. This course does not have a large amount of distance, but there is a good variety of shots needed to navigate some of the holes.

This course is very playable for any player. The short tees are very beginner friendly, and can be completed in less than 20 minutes. The long tees, while still a shorter layout, has shots to test more advance players. This would be a great place to stop after work, school, or when you need a quick break off of the highway.

Cons:

Faircrest Park is nothing flashy. There is no wow-factor, there isn't any glamour. It's a lot of fun, it's a great place to play and learn the parts of your game, but it's well short of spectacular.

Some of the holes play close to other baskets, tees, or the walking path. Being a small, low-traffic park, this doesn't seem like a large problem, but it could be a nuisance.

Hole 9 is one of the weirdest disc golf holes I have ever played, and I don't like it. 200 feet to a tree that you must take a complete 180 degree turn, back to a basket that is only 30 feet from the tee pad. There was some room for a nice sweeping hyzer shot, so I'm confused as to why they chose this design to finish an otherwise cookie-cutter course.

Other Thoughts:

There isn't much to say about Faircrest Park. It's a fun place to play, but nothing crazy. Some fun shots to throw, a long and short layout, and a quick play. It's not a destination course by any means, but I really like that they put a course in this smaller, multi-use area.
