• Use the map
• Bring your left to right shot
• Go late in the day
Random Thoughts:
Listen...I'm all in favor of as many disc courses as we can put on this earth, but this is a mixed-use park that the disc course sits right on top of. This means you are ALWAYS throwing into spots where there might be people in the way. What's worse is there are three shots where you're firing right into or at the parking lot. I couldn't believe we were actually staring at the correct basket. I'm a more than decent throw and I still almost hit two cars. We went just before dusk so it was fairly cleared out but I strongly suspect if you visited this course during the day, you'd be skipping holes right and left. Speaking of right and left or left to right, this course has a lot of left to right shots in it. If that's your game, you are in luck. With that said, it is a very fair course, meaning par is very attainable and errant shots aren't penalized too severely. There are also quite a few spots where you can let fly your favorite drive and not worry about losing your disc (around the baseball fields). Navigation on the course is pretty easy, although do pay close attention to the basket lengths. There are a couple spots where the closer basket is the one you're aiming for and it's hidden behind a tree, so you may need to walk ahead and take a peek. Other than that, the shots are pretty straight forward without being too difficult.
Bottom Line:
This is an odd course. I'd call it beginner-friendly but that's only if no one else is at the park. If there are people around, 'apologies' are in your future. Honestly, despite the course being fairly fun, I'd give serious thought to pulling it out and putting it someplace else. It's a bit nerve racking throwing around people and cars for an entire round. Again, I always applaud the effort, but this one may just be stretching this park too far.
