pretty fun 9 hole course

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 13, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-nice park with mature trees, open spaces, and a creek
-Liberty baskets in good condition
-natural tees are mostly flat and in good condition
-small signs with hole number and distance on trees near each tee
-despite missing and difficult to find signage, the course is pretty easy to follow

Cons:

-finding the tee signs takes some searching and a few of them are missing
-holes 6-9 play through an area closer to other park users
-some of the tees are close to becoming rutted

Other Thoughts:

First things first: this is a 9 hole course. There may be separate numbered signs for the "back 9" but this is very obviously a 9 hole layout with 2 tees per hole. That said, this is a fun little course with some interesting shots. Salt Creek bisects the park and the area north of the creek that contains holes 1-5 is not exactly disc golf exclusive but it's further from the rest of the park amenities where most of the people are. You cross a cool suspension bridge to traverse the creek too; it's creaky and moves quite a bit but it's plenty safe.

The creek comes into play on holes 5-7, with hole 6 throwing directly across it. A bad shank to the left could find the creek on hole 1. Nearly all the holes have mature trees in the fairways; hole 2 is the most open and holes 8 and 9 are the tightest. Shots aren't really forced on most holes and you can choose your lane on a number of them. The first set of tees are mostly shorter with only 1 shot at 300'. The second set extends the distances a bit but they still don't go beyond 400'.

I'm at a loss to say much more about this course, partially because it was the first of a 4-day, 20-course trip for me but also because there is just not a lot to say. It's fun and the holes are interesting but it loses it's luster quickly. For the record, I was expecting the navigation to be much more difficult based on previous reviews but I found it not too bad. Fantastic for such a small town to have a decent course. You will most likely have the course to yourself and possibly even the whole park. Worth stopping to play if you are driving through town but not worth a trip on its own.

Bridge the course. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great small town course.
Water hazard.
Good mixture of shots.
Signs are marked on trees.
2 tees for an 18 hole layout.
Pretty solid course for the area they had to work with.
Great for a quick round.

Cons:

Needs teepads.
Needs signage or course map.
Not easy to follow.
Only need a driver on a few of the holes.

Other Thoughts:

15 needs some trimming.
Hole 1-5 are across bridge.
6 and 15 play across the creek.
