Hey kids. Your mom was wrong. It's ok to play in the trash.
- Fun Junktion is one of the more interesting layouts I've played. Installing a short pitch and put course on top of a landfill mountain with a backdrop of more landfill. Thankfully, I played when I was not downwind.
- The signs at the front of the park say it closes at 7. I showed up at 5:53. The worker on duty said it closes at 6:30 (to be fair it was a Friday night and I'd want to get out early too.). Let's just say I was back in my truck, having played a full round, at 6:16.
- 18 baskets (ok, 17) on a 2900-foot layout with overlapping fairways. The entire 'course' takes up four acres. There are, I think, five trees in this whole field. And with those limitations, I say it wasn't that bad.
- I do like the raised hill, aka trash mountain, aspect of the course. You've got to climb the hill with your upshot on #1 to get to the course. From there, you're on the enclosed portion of the hill for the remainder of the course, with the exception of a slight reprieve for your teeshot on #5.
- There are several other baskets and tees playing up and down sides of the hill, giving an added level of challenge/variety.
- Many holes have little to no challenge, essentially short field shots.
- The real challenge on this course is the rough and its waste high (or taller) grass. I get the penalty for sailing wide on a wide open fairway. I don't get the logic when your 'fairway' is five feet wide. More on that below.
- Lots of ace runs. This course's true calling is to host ace race events. I'm guessing the ace pot for singles never gets above $10.
- In concept, this is a great course for kids and new players. The concern, again, is having a player getting scratched up walking through the rough with their very first shot on #1.

I am going to contradict myself. I'm acknowledging that. So deal with it.
- The thick, tall rough is the a great feature and the worst aspect of the course. I understand and appreciate its purposes, but I also hated it.
- I played 18 courses (many were 9 holes or less, so it's not AS impressive) in 33 hours on a two day marathon trip. This trip included playing all three Lake Marshall courses. I got more scratched up walking into the rough three times here than I did every other course combined. I think my shots landed a combined 30 feet off the fairway, so it wasn't even THAT much hiking through the rough.
- Basically, some of the fairways need to be wider. The fairways on #17 & 18 aren't wide enough for two people to walk side by side. At least clear out a larger, circle two area around the baskets.
- If your discs lands in the rough, even a bright pink disc, it isn't visible until you're almost right on top of it. And with a lack of landmarks or anything to help you pinpoint where your disc landed, even covering a 50 square foot grid is enough to scrape up your legs.
- Some tee signs are missing. As is one basket.
- For a short, simple layout, there are several blind-ish tee shots. Throwing uphill on #1, you can't tell where your disc lands. I was 20 feet from the basket, but I was in the thick stuff because I was short. The same issue is on #5.
- With multiple baskets visible on nearly every hole, better signage is needed as to where you're throwing. I threw to the wrong basket twice, not realizing the actual basket was down on the side of the hill. Also, I most likely threw my tee shot from the wrong spot at least once. Oh well.

For as flawed as Fun Junktion is, it's really not too bad. There are positives to like while fixing the problems.
- I actually think this might be a money making layout. If disc golf were to ever have a Top Golf type of venue, this is it. Let people carry two discs and a beer during their round. Make it a short, simple layout. And have people making 18 straight runs at the basket. You'd just need to space things out more. But, this is the format for appealing to the masses.
- This course would be much better if the baskets had large visible hole numbers on top of each basket. Large orange or pink markers with the numbers on them would be visible from the tees. It's easy and would be so helpful.
- There was actually a fair amount of elevation factor here. Throw in a little cross wind and it's not as easy as first appears.
- I would actually play here again. It's such a different layout that it's intriguing. After playing Lake Marshall's three courses earlier in the day, I needed something that was easier.
- Maybe the course would be less appealing during the day when the landfill is more active. For an early evening round, who knew a landfill could be peaceful?
- It's not great. But it's not as bad as expected. It's solidly mediocre. An enjoyable 1.5 in my book.

-It is a beginners and recreational course. Intermediate and Advance would likely enjoy few of the holes that are elevated with a Mid or Putter.
-Its an elevated course played on top of a hill. Your either teeing downhill or uphill, a few holes on the side of hill. Hill elevation is about 40 feet.
-The course is wind dominant. A few holes are fun to throw with the wind.
-The course only has a few skinny trees on top of hill, that are not in play. The course is kept mowed on top of hill, with only 10-foot fairways, and 10 feet around baskets below the hill. There's short choppy weeds and brush for rough, that could grow a few feet in the warmer months. The course gives a feel of a Scottish links, that I played in ball golf. The trees you see in pictures, are no longer there.
-Most tees have signs with par and distance only.
-Navigation is simple, flows counterclockwise.
-Outstanding drainage. No slippage on natural tees.
-All holes can be considered an Ace Run, depending on skill level.
-Playing from top of the hill is scenic.

-The course does not open until 10am.
-Very short holes from 90 to 228 feet. Some are actually listed as par 4's.
-Fairways run alongside and too close to each other, with a few groups playing watch your back.
-Missing tee signs, broken tee posts, and bent baskets. Looked like a war zone without the bomb craters. A few tee signs totally missing, had to mark my own tee spot to play the hole.
-If the rough grows in the summer past two feet there could be lost disc potential. Lost disc potential behind #12 where there is a creek behind it.
-What happened to #8? I do not think there ever was one. You walk from 7 basket to 9 tees, no room for #8. Likely this is the second location for the course in the park. From what I have read, more than a decade ago a tropical storm came thru with heavy tree damage, and the course was moved from the park and up to the hill.
-If you like woods golf, there are not trees to hit on this course, unless you fly past #12.
-If you do not have strong legs, you may suffer. Its straight up and down the hill for just about all holes. My legs were burning, and I have swimmer and biking legs. Worse burn than Waller Mill in Williamsburg, Va.

From reading the past reviews prior to my visit, the experience was much better than expected. I was expecting a complete disaster. It is odd, the mowing is kept up, but no attention to broken tees and baskets. There is some care given to the course, but it needs to go so much further. If it were up to me, I would shorten the course to 9 holes to salvage tee signs, and baskets. Also, to extend distance and would still be a beginner's course, but also a course for intermediates, and something for Advance to tinker with.
Regardless, there is still some fun playing the course, I enjoyed the elevated holes and playing the wind, just three of them, even though with a putter or easy mid. The rest of the course is down slope, straight up the hill, and a few across the side of the hill. That was okay, just too short. Halfway thru the round with the wind, open course, and short choppy, rough, I thought "this reminds me of a Scottish links". I prefer woods golf, but I would love to see a full length 18-hole Scottish Links Disc Course in my area. With the few elevated tees, wind play, and the Scottish style Disc Golf I give a 3.0 rating and that is where my overall rating is anchored. I would like to come back in the summer and look at green grass and the height of the rough. Also update pictures.
Notable flick of the wrist holes Number 6 and 9 both at 90 feet, an ACE RUN! Well, it's a straight drop down to the basket, the aspect of the basket is very narrow to land a disc. You are looking down on top of the basket.
Notable Straight up the hill holes Number 1, 7, and 16. 7 is at 144 feet throwing straight up looking skyward. At the time I played the course I was rehabbing my form with a standstill. Full driver only went basket high.
Notable Hole #15 Par 3, 175 feet. Straight down hill, elevation of about 20 feet. Nothing between you and the basket but rough and wind. Behind the basket about 30 feet a ditch, and then road, so cannot put a whole lot on your tee shot. The wind will dominate here and will give you some air bumps. Very scenic look.
Signature Hole #11 Par 4, 195 feet. Elevated tee shot of about 20 feet; the basket sits on a plateau that is mowed 10 feet around the basket, looking down on the basket. It slopes downward again past the basket. Choppy, rough all the way down to the basket. In the backdrop is a tree line that runs at a 45-degree angle and parallel to the fairway or line and to the right of the basket, the closes point to the basket about 50 feet. The wind was blowing toward the tree line, I threw an easy mid at least 100 feet to the left of basket and watched the disc fly past the basket and to the edges of the tree line. Very scenic look at the hole from top of the hill, this is where I had the thought of a "Scottish Links", if the rough grows tall in the summer it will even be better. In my opinion, does not qualify as a Par 4.
Trouble Hole #12 Par 4 (does not qualify as a par 4), 225 feet is a 40 foot drop from the top of the hill. The basket is tucked into the tree line, behind the basket into the tree line at about 30 feet is the creek, and slopes into the creek. Choppy, rough from tee to basket, another scenic look from the hill. When I played the hole, wind was blowing to the direction of basket and creek. I am thinking the trees should stop an over thrown disc from reaching the creek, but if it does not. So, I laid up giving me a long putt, it was not until I walk down the hill to my disc, that I realize I now had a possible death putt. #12 would be an upgrade to several holes I have played at about the same distance at other courses, It would give a boost to that course. By itself, #12 is worth a ½ point.

Good location, interesting variation in hole shots as well as medium length drives, nice disc catchers. Creative use of bends and surprisingly difficult wrapping drives. The park is fairly secluded, so there is no waiting.

There were no benches, no restrooms, no hole 8 at all, the tee boxes were poorly marked, two holes shared one catcher at a point, the course appeared to have no rhyme or reason to the tee placement. Several of the posts marking the location of the tee boxes where laying on the ground or the sign marking the the hole, gone all together. The brush around the course has been allowed to grow up vastly too high and several of the holes are located to the point where if the pin is overshot by 10 feet you are in thick, un-maneuverable brush.

This course has the potential to be quite enjoyable if it were played in the fall or winter, or if the grounds were kept a little better. The holes themselves do show some imagination and with some work, this would a nice course for a relaxed game.

There are many fun holes to play but I would really like to see most of the course redesigned.
There is a great use of the elevation. There is also a nice variety of right turning/ left turning and straight shots. The course is never crowded and is usually a ghost town. It's a nice beginner course because the holes are very short and it is mostly easy to navigate.

Unfortunately, I have many cons to list.
- tee areas have a toe board to trip over
- some tee areas extremely short and slanted
- 2 holes have NO tee
- cramped and crossing fairways
- single chain Discatchers
- par on the tee signs is way off
After hole #18, the path back to the parking area is the fairway for hole #1, which is a blind uphill shot, so please look out.

The basket for #8 is gone. #9 doesn't have a tee so the locals play from the #8 tee. #10 has no tee, so locals play #10 and #11 from 11's tee. #15's tee sign is not there but the toe board tee area is visible from14's basket.

There are no bathrooms, garbage cans, or benches near the course.

Park Hours: 10am-8pm Memorial Day- Labor Day 10am-5pm in Winter

After #4 go downhill to tee for #5. After 15 go downhill towards the road for the next tee. Those are the only tricky areas.

From Simpson Ditch Road turn onto Landfill Road (GPS takes you about a block short of the park.) Follow the road into the park and park near the pond and look for the Disc Golf sign.

I know I listed a lot of cons but I did enjoy about 5 holes alot. I spent along time saying " I wish they spread this out and used that area over there." There aren't any courses very close, this course is passable but not very good.
