Great compliment to a feature course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 25, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

After taking the left of the Y in the park , you will see a kiosk on your right next to a parking lot . Once you park there , you will have the possibility of playing 36 holes and never moving your car . The side with the kiosk is the Rec 18 side . You will have to walk up next to the the road a bit ( take a picture of the map in the kiosk or print one out or you will lose time ) . The baskets seem to be in good shape . cement pads for the short tees , some markers for the longs . Signage was okay . Wooden brown posts , but with some having what looked like a seat underneath but a trash receptacle . Grounds seem pretty well taken care of . The signs are numbered . Unfortunately , the baskets aren't . No description on the posts , but most of the pins are short enough that you can figure out where the basket is , although you normally can see them . Pretty good use of pin placement ( Looks like dual pin placements per hole ) . The course utilizes tree canopies and the woods well ( 17 blind basket tucks in nicely next to a creek ) . Don't let the Rec name fool you . Short holes that can challenge most and several longer holes let you air it out . Providing you have a clue and a map , you can get away with a round in just over an hour if by yourself .

Cons:

Well , I don't want to tear down a rec course too much , so I will be brief . Although the map is helpful , I like some good signage at the tee pads when you boast more than 1 pin placement per hole . The course itself will not challenge any pros or competitive intermediates . If I am shooting under par and have never been here , and just touring and enjoying new courses , then ,,,,,,,,, . Baskets could use numbering . NEXT TEE signs would have been helpful for the Rec side . This course looks to have been around for 3 years now . You should be putting updated hole lengths in your hole info slots .That way , when people print a scorecard , they have an approximate idea how far the hole is and maybe the pin position .

Other Thoughts:

Not a lot of places anywhere that you can play 36 holes of continuous disc golf in one set area . Centralia and the Foundation Park people have done a good job . With the Rec 18 , you can either use it as a warm up for the Champ 18 , or wind down and relax after attacking the bigger course , or if a local just get in a quick round . My recommendation : PLAY IT < PLAY BOTH !
