I've played Millikin several times and each time I go I ask myself why I haven't played it more. It's a relaxing course to play with enough of a challenge to push experienced players but never too much trouble.
-Solid distance throughout the course, there really aren't any "gimme" holes. 250' is about as short as it gets with some holes pushing 400', all par 3s which seemed fair.
-Good mix of tight fairways, wooded shots, and a few wide open holes.
-Lots of ways to attack holes, which is fun. I found myself throwing forehand, backhand, and rollers while my brother chucked tomahawks. Every hole could be played in a variety of ways, but you nearly always had a line you needed to hit.
-Plenty of parking. If the area around hole 1 is crowded I suggest parking near the shelter across the road and teeing off on 3.
-Bathrooms and water fountain by 1
-Tunnel under the road to get from 1 to 2
-The from 9 plays primarily through a lightly wooded park. There are plenty of mature trees, but no undergrowth and well maintained fairways. The back 9 has a few more wooded holes, including a few with tight fairways and real roughs.
-Solid tee signs with 2 pin placements.
-This course is just fun. It's a really nice balance of fun and challenge with plenty of opportunities to recover from a bad shot.

-Holes 3-8 or so as well as a few on the back 9 feel pretty repetitive. Lots of 300' holes through a tree speckled fairway. You still have to hit a line, just not overly unique.
-Holes 1 & 3 play near a busy road. I've grip-locked over it a few times. Holes 17 & 18 play near a smaller park road where cars often park. Watch for parked cars to the left of 18.
-A pedestrian path is in play on 2 and dog walkers are throughout the park.
-The shelter around 9 or 10 often hosts groups that will wander into the fairway, including the group of LARPers who had a full fledged 10 minute battle in the middle of the fairway. I wasn't even mad. Are ye not entertained?!
-13 plays a bit too close to the teepad of 14.

Most of my complaints are pretty ticky tacky, this course is great. With just a touch more variety it's an easy 4 for me, but as is it's a very strong 3.5 that likely deserves a 3.75. With multiple lines and multiple pin positions this course offers plenty of replay-ability and outside of the elite Cincinnati courses this is at the top of my local list.

The course is set in a good-sized middle of a neighborhood park with a road that splits the park in two. There is a pedestrian underpass though to aid with the transitions back and forth. The course has nice concrete tees and decent baskets and tee signs. The course is set in a mostly open area with plenty of large shade trees to negotiate around and features a smidge of elevation change here and there. There is little chance for disc loss as the course is mostly mowed grass fairways with little rough. The course is well maintained and is a fun and pleasant play.

The course is a little vanilla flavored with several holes featuring similar distances and looks. Those that like a more varied or rustic experience will like this course less than those that prefer a more city park-like course.

There are holes that throw near or over walking trails. Wasn't a huge issue but caution will be needed on these holes.

I recently moved to the area and this course is in contention to be my new home course. It would make a decent weekly course and is handy to have close by.

-Discatcher baskets in good shape and repair
-lots of parking
-concrete tee pads
-tee signs are functional with distances that seem accurate
-a mix of hole types, with a few wide open shots, a few tight shots in the trees, and most holes with a few large trees to shoot around
-bathrooms available for the summer months
-course well maintained even in the winter months, including emptied trash buckets at each hole
-plenty of shot shaping opportunities, specifically limiting hyzer bombs for most holes because of the low canopy
-Next tees are marked on baskets with tape around spokes, but some are starting to fall off

-not many long shots, only the last hole is over 400'
-I don't like crossing the road to play, but thankfully there is an underpass for pedestrians
-tee pads are just a little short for my liking

I really enjoyed playing this course. It makes good use of the available land and allows for creative shots with some achievable birdie opportunities. The mix of holes keeps the play enjoyable and doesn't just knock me down after every drive.
My test for truly "good" courses is if I would travel from home just for that course. I'm from Dayton, and the 50 minute drive would probably keep me from traveling just for this course....BUT if I'm driving through I'll definitely stop by. I'll be back for sure.

Well, planned to play this course almost as a time-killer but was surprised to find that it's actually very worthy course for being 1) a municipal park course, and 2) 9 holes. While another 9 are planned the 9 that are there are great with none being a gimme. From the initial 250 footer to the last shot over the bike path (literally) this course plays much bigger than expected. Old growth trees inhabit the course and many are in play, deflecting shots and blocking approaches. Low scrub obscures the baskets depending on your lie and that adds to the fun. This course plays big despite being in a relatively small park. This course is definitely worth a play and I anxiously await the installation of the other 9. Pretty nice.

It's a city park right in the middle of a neighborhood but it doesn't feel like it. Parking is VERY limited. But go anyway.

Only one year old and improvements are coming. Will be even better when done. Looking forward to it. It may be a 4 star course when done...

10 minutes from my house, I have played here often since the baskets were installed. I really like the course. The park is made up of large mature trees that create the fairways with minimal trimming and contains slight elevation changes.

The new concrete tee pads are fantastic. They seem to be 4' by 6' (I didn't measure) with great texture for good footing. #2s tee is flared from back to front to allow for a LHBH or RHBH throw. The park has been well maintained since they installed the baskets about 6 months ago. The park workers recently cleared the fairways by trimming small limbs/bushes in the right places, imo.

The holes are fun to play with a nice mixture of short, long and longer holes thru the mature trees. Three holes in the 220-250 range, a few 300+/- holes and three that are 350+. The hole layout utilizes the slight elevation changes the park offers very well. When it's wet casual water can come into play on a few holes adding to the difficulty. An area in front of 8s basket can get wet and muddy so they placed about 15 pieces of broken up concrete slabs in that area for some nice stepping stones which works very well.

The course is easy to follow with next tee signs on each basket. Fun for all levels.

Temporary tee signs. They do the job but won't last long thru the winter.

Sometimes you have to wait for a casual walker thru the park. The park has houses on two sides and they are new to having a disc golf course next to them.

Hole #9 throws over the walking path that goes thru the tunnels (see Other). The path is about 15ft below the teeing area and to the right of the fairway. So far this has not caused any problems that I've heard of. But if there is anyone walking on that path golfers should wait until they clear the path before throwing.

This park is located in the middle of a neighborhood in the west side of Hamilton, Ohio.

The park is separated by about 1000' feet of Washington Blvd which runs right thru the middle of the park but separated by fencing and grass medians. The 9 hole golf course is located on the east side of the Blvd. On the west side is where the back nine is to be installed in the future.

If you have a young family with you they have a playground next to the golf course or a new water play ground on the other side of the park to keep the young children occupied and happy. They also have a paved path that goes under the Blvd thru tunnels for easy and safe access to the other side.
