0 to 27 in one build 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

As the title suggests, this went from no course to 27 holes n one build. Kudos to the mayor at the time for getting behind the project.
Wish I could give a 5 but a few too many safety issues which are in the cons below.
Now for the pros: this course is on a piece of property made for a disc golf course, some elevation, one creek that comes into play on 12 or 13 holes, large trees with defined lines (good safari opportunity), open holes, tighter wood holes (A-I), and a variety of shots. Many of the maintenance personnel play so the grass gets mowed often. The initial installation was 27 holes (18 numbered/9 lettered (A-I)) with two tee pads and multiple basket locations which is always a plus. The baskets are color coordinated (3 or 4 different colors) to allow for different layouts. You can play all 27, play just the numbered, play and skip any of the following without interfering with course flow: 5-10, 5-6, 7-10, A-I.
There aren't a lot of big arm holes but there is a lot of opportunity to create some safari holes if you want. The ones that are: 5 possible, 10, 16, D, E, and I.

Cons:

Safe concerns: Be careful on the following holes: 2 and 3, tee pad for 3 long can come into play from a rhbh fade from 2, 3 short may but not as likely; 4 and 11, park walking path between 4 and 11 and 11 tee pad can come into play with a rhbh turnover; 7 and 10, tee pad for 10 can come into play from a rhbh turnover from 7; 9 and 8, tee pad for 8 can come into play from a rhbh turnover from 9; 11 and 12 , tee pad for 12 short can come into play from a rhbh fade from 11, this is also a blind tee position so if you're throwing 11, check and make sure the short pad of 12 is clear; 14 pin throws to the backside of a bathroom, a long throw can easily make it around the bathroom; 15 has playground equipment early left, a mando forces the throw away from the playground but there is still a change of a slip; hole A has a mando left of a tree to keep from throwing through an amphitheater but again, there's a chance for a slip.

Other Thoughts:

A quick hole by hole: 1 L tee is a nice shot through some trees from an elevated trees; 2 good park course shot; 3 blind, good, short, uphill through trees; 4 fairly open with the basket on the grading of the street above it (extra - I five putted from 20 feet once); 5 one of the longer holes and open, 6 blind, mando toward the creek with left to right flight; 7-10 open, flat, play the walking trail as OB to add to the challenge, creek on 7 and 8; 11 trail right and creek long but flat fairway, make sure 12 S tee is clear before throwing; 12 L tee blind, elevated tee, creek long/right; 13 short slight uphill shot; 14 road OB, creek right near the basket; 15 mando throws to the right, creek right and long; 16 short, low ceiling; 17 one of the longer holes, creek right, there is a basket in a large tree on the right side of the fairway and long basket, 18 L basket, over and along the creek, OB pinches near the basket; A mando right and OB left; B can be tricky going into the woods; C the basket is in the convergence of a tree trunk, well guarded, D/E open but some trees and ceiling concerns; F sweet rhbh hyzer over the White River to the basket or stay dry by throwing left along the bank; G tightest hole on the course but not impossible; H short hole toward OB creek/river; I L tee blind, uphill, downhill, road left OB, trees right side, basket semi guarded due to the distance of the hole, probably my favorite on the course. I hope this helps.
This is my hometown course and worth playing at least once. And if you do, adding another close course to your trip will make it extra enjoyable.

Excellent use of space 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Excellent use of the space available.
interesting course with a bit of variety
pleasant park with stream and covered bridge
easy to follow course
dual tees and basket locations on each hole
nice sturdy Veteran baskets.

Cons:

a few of the alternate basket locations are near enough the water that we would probably skip the holes if they were placed there.

Other Thoughts:

The tees haven't been poored yet but each hole is marked.
There are maps in the tub under the practice basket
