Enjoyable course drive by

Pros:

-Good tees with shorter distances that are fun for everyone.
-Quick play through

Cons:

-Not much in the way of amenities or markings

Other Thoughts:

This was a fun walkthrough for us. We didn't spend much time in the park other than to play quickly as we had a flight to catch. Second round in a row in which Jen defeated me!

Pros:

-Tees, not perfect, but the cobblestone is flat and definitely better than natural.
-Tee posts are good for distance, tee skill level (there are three), par, and hole number.
-Fairways are nice mowed grass in a park
-Rough is not really rough, it is just assorted bushes and/ or going far away with the strong winds.
-Trees are not too common at this park, but when they are present, they are in the way (that is a good thing), and make you shape your shot some more. Also on the more open holes, 3-6, there aren't really trees, but there are some bushes, and the basket is usually next to or behind the bush. Navigation is easy, a quick scan of the park easily reveals the posts, and if you have a map, there will be no trouble locating the next tee.
-There is a small creek that runs through the park and it comes into play on a lot of holes, either throwing across it, over and back, or right next to it.
-This is a very beautiful park, and it is a perfect setting for a casual recreational disc golf course.
-The open and short nature of this course allow for a lot of different throws, which I thought was really nice. I typically don't spend a lot of time working on my 200' putter forehand, but this course allows me to do that.
-No garbage, only a little bit of graffiti which is always unpleasant, but better than garbage.

Cons:

-No elevation to speak of.
-Paths to and from the tees and the baskets are not there... which makes them bad.
-Only one bench on the course, although this is a short play and isn't very taxing.
-The distances are not very long, mostly hovering around 90 meters. I only pulled out a distance driver for a massive hyzer shot because i wanted to really test the wind.
-A couple hole are really close to walking paths, not a problem on a calm day, but the frequent windy days in iceland could present a problem.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course to add to your play list while on vacation. I played this one on the way to the airport from Reykjavik, it fits in pretty well on that route.

First course in iceland i played 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 11, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Very beginner friendly
- good baskets
-multiple tee locations win marked tee signs on each hole
- good risk/reward shots with water around the baskets

Cons:

Some pars were a bit off, I drove pin high on 3 of the baskets marked par 4.

Hole 9 throws around a blind corner where bikes ride down a path that you throw along.

2 holes I believe played very close to kids jungle gym area.

Concrete blocks on some holes but natural on others

Other Thoughts:

It was a fun course in a nice park with some cool shots
