Pros:

Quick and easy course to play. Good for practicing fairway/mid-range shots. Excellent for beginners to play on with no obstructions.

Cons:

Tee box are just rubber mats placed on ground and bit uneven based on ground underneath. Signage could use improvement.

Other Thoughts:

Best time to play is on weekends or during the summer, since course is on school property.

Pros:

The Fremont School DGC lies between the elementary school and the recreation soccer fields. The course appears to be built for physical education classes and maybe some after school programs, as well.

The course is a little beyond it's prime but probably once was perfectly suitable for P.E. The course has rubber mats. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow bands. They are nice and easy to spot in the grassy area here. They used to have my favorite, simple tee signs. These signs are the indestructible kind that you find in state and national parks to mark the camp sites. They are just a flexible piece of plastic about 4" wide and 2 feet tall and are virtual vandal proof. Unfortunately, they have proven to not be school kid proof as a couple have been sheered off by student power.
Navigation was a little tricky. I kind of had to guess which way to go on several holes. Early on, I played basket to basket but then on the later holes, I was able to follow the tee pads and natural flow of the course.
The distances are school kid short and there is quite a few places where the taller grass serves as rough. You might spend some timing hunting in this grass.

Cons:

Broken and trashed tee signs.
Tall grass used for rough although most fairways were recently mowed.
Shorter distances with little creativity.
No trees, hills or other obstacles

Other Thoughts:

While I consider this a beginner's course, I don't really consider it a good course for beginners to start on. There's just not much here to work with. Nothing that would get a person excited about playing disc golf. More than likely, a new player would leaved bored and unfulfilled, not likely to return here or any other course.

Designed for beginners 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 30, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is located on the property of Fremont Schools. It was designed for elementary and middle school students. It's an excellent beginner course and will introduce disc golf to hundreds of kids each year.

Rubber Tee Pads.

Brand New Innova Discatchers with hole # on them.

Tee signs are basic but visible with #. Designer plans to add distance to the sign as well.

The course is easy to navigate.

Excellent place to practice upshots and putting.

Cons:

Very short beginner course. This course will not offer more skilled players a challenge.

Wide open with absolutely no obstacles.

Other Thoughts:

Course is closed during school hours.
