Pros:
Still fairly new, Grassy Creek has a front nine in the fairly open section of a multi-use park, and a wooded and more rolling back nine just across the bridge in the southwest section of the park. Excellent signage with hole layout and distances (and bag hooks) adjoin natural tees marked by the ground-level, red, Innova tee markers that allow for easy mowing and maintenance. A practice basket by the parking area, picnic table and port-a-potty, joins the other 18 brand new DisCatcher Pros that are easily spotted most of the way. Hole distances range from 178 to 452 feet (easy to justify them all as par threes for the average player), but there are also white blocks embedded closer to the first nine baskets for kids to throw shots from a lot closer, where there's virtually no chance of losing a disc.
For a little more challenge, the back nine rolls along a slight rise and amongst large, mature park trees beside a pretty creek. Hole 12 is especially scenic, running about 300 feet right to left and downslope toward the creek. There's even a tight double mando on the shortie back there on 15, where control off the tee tends to really shorten your glide, meaning it's not just an ace run. There are opportunities (especially on the wooded back nine) to shape shots in both directions, and to learn how to adjust for the slight elevations back there. You even finish back in the open on the east side of the park with an island green 18th. Not very long, but you've got the creek crossing in front and on the right, and the driveway beyond. A fun shot.
Cons:
My biggest concern was the number of times I saw a park bench, picnic table, or even a basketball hoop in the line of flight. Probably occurring on half the holes, (or at least it felt like it), you do play over an old baseball field bench on 5, right at the parked cars on 6, along the neighbor's fences on 7, and right at the basketball court on 8. You have to walk across the 13th fairway to get from 10 to 11. The rhbh hyzer line on 16 goes over another parking lot and picnic table, and the hyzer lines on hole 17 for lefties and righties pass over the baskets on 13 and 16, respectively. So there are safety concerns if the park is busy, or if they want to hold a 'full' tournament here.
Although there were some next tee signs, and there's a course map and scorecard available at the hole 1 kiosk, it's a little confusing for first timers to head to the other side of the park for hole 10. Walk across the paved lot, beside the building, and then left, over the bridge, and the 10th tee is just down the slope past the guard rail.
The wooded half definitely has poison ivy on some of the trees and down on the creek banks, and might get a little buggy as well during the wet seasons.
Other Thoughts:
Overall, this is a very nice course, where we were actually saying, if I lived here, I'd play this often!
My buddy was driving, and glanced down at the Nav, then felt terrible about driving over a guy's Ace Race disc on the way out. If he wants, we'll have a half dozen to choose from after the 24th, if he wants a replacement. Message me here. So Sorry!
