I am not great at reviewing courses that are in the middle of improvements , because I start looking at potential scenarios before the product is finished . The park has plenty of parking near hole #1 . Follow DGR directions to it . There was a Port O Let on the grounds .
The Equipment - There were cement tees that matched the signs on many of the first 10-12 holes . Then there were some recently poured tee pads with no signs to match yet , and some natural ones at the end . I can't fault the progress that they are trying to make . The shorter tees are natural and marked with a red stake . The tee signs are very nice metal ones , large enough to read clearly . The baskets are nicer on the front 9 , then go to all Chainstars at the end , but all are in good shape except #17 , which was missing . There is a putting basket near the #1 tee pad .
The Landscape . The course was mowed and fairly clean when I was here .The course is very flat . There is a ridge that drops you down to start a hole at around #10 , but that ridge won't come into play . There is a couple of woods holes that will come into play , one in the middle and one at the end . The rest is Park Style . There is a large .creek that comes into play as you throw across it on 14 & 15 . If you land in it , you probably lose your disc . There is also a water hazard on hole #3 that guards the green . Don't throw in there , either .Some overgrowth is in play on #1 , #3 and #4 . and in a woods hole , along with the U shaped fairway #17 and the right side of the fairway on 18 . There is a bridge that will remind you of a more modern version of the swinging one that you see in movies taking place in Africa . Not the most stable , and fitting more than 1 person at a time is tough ..
The Highlights - Fun holes , but not a lot of Highlight holes . #1 is a good starter hole ( 270' ) . Don't pay attention to the scorecard lengths . It is a tight fairway that will sink at the endleft to right to a small flat green sitting behind some rock and cement fairway obstacles . #11 210' is a right to left dogleg that breaks hard into a small green . If you like water holes , 14 & 15 go back and forth across the creek . Some branches stick out and will try to swat your fairway midrange on this 170' throw . If you hit them , it might drop your disc into the drink . #18 is a nice finishing hole , left to right following a brushline directly on your right and open on the left .
Signature Hole - A more open drive starting out , this 370' hole has a deep overgrowth along the left of the fairway , and a hidden line of water you must clear about 4-5' wide and guarding the basket .
The Time . It took me right at 1 hour to complete the course . Part of it lay in traveling this bridge 4 times . A foursome will get through this in a little under 2 hours .
There are plenty of chances for birdies on this course .

#1 Safety - There is a lot going on in this park . people walking their dogs , a nice kids section to the right of hole #3 , which lead to kids wandering the park , and some picnicking here . Skip a hole if you have to . A couple of holes are close to each other .
#2 Navigation - Yikes . You almost need a big sign after #3 to tell you to walk to your right and back ( there actually is a sign near the bridge , but if you miss it ,,, ) to the bridge and over it for holes 4-13 . You will wander a bit looking for holes like #10 , #14 , #15 . It might get better once the signs & cement pads match . FYI - you have to cross the bridge for the final time after completing hole 15 and walk across the park to find the 16 tee at the start of some woods .
#3 Challenge - The course is kind of fun , but the challenge will lack for any seasoned players ( or even me ) . Shooting under par will be a given for holes 4-15 . You will bag more birds than a turkey farm in November .
#4 Basket , Please ! I don't know what happened , but the course will be more complete with the #17 basket in play .
#5 Disc Risk - medium . Catching you midrange in the branches or the brush fronting the creek will cause you to lose your disc to its watery grave .Griplocking your short shot on #4 to the right might also find that creek . Also , the muddy water on #3 can give your driver/approach disc a Burial At Sea . Some of the overgrowth can hide your disc if you overshoot hole #10 or ricochet on #11 ,
And , a par 2 on the 170' hole 14 ? Really ?! If you have to make a hole a par 2 , then the design may be flawed . Change the par .
This course project has pretty much taken over most of the park . I don't know if the designers have more to work with or not , but they might rethink putting in the permanent tees , unless the park told them this part of it is all that Flory Park will give up . Bring bug spray during the summer . They bite extra hard near the creek holes .

Regardless of the tight confinement regarding holes 3-15 , course volunteers and designers are forging ahead , and I respect that . And I almost always say that 18 holes are better than 9 . I am going to reserve judgement and try to give this course another play next summer . The holes are mostly short , but there Is some fun factor and variety here . This is a course to work on your short game with . , while hacking around with your buddies , There was a group behind me at hole #3 where one of them was throwing what looked and sounded like a rubber bomb . It landed right in front of the water , bounced straight up , then jumped across the water ( Speechless ) .
My Recommendation - Not a good intro , date , 1 discer or newbie course . the water holes are short but lethal ( unless you take them out of play ) . This will be a fun play for the locals , and just practice for intermediates and up . Travelers might stop off of rt 16 and not far off of I-70 . Good flat fast leg stretch course . Course Collectors will like to combine this with 20 hole River View and 9 hole Evans parks . . Not a course to go out of your way for , but still Combine with River View &
Try It If In The Area Or Local !!
