(formerly) a decent practice space 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 3, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-6 solid baskets, not sure the manufacturer but they say "catch 21" on the poles
-lots of grassy space and a few medium sized trees
-plenty of options for playing basket to basket or other safari routes
-a great place to practice if you live nearby the school

Cons:

**update**
supposedly, there are tees now that are marked by rocks
*****

-no tees so no official layout, though it does appear something is listed on Udisc (not a smartphone user so i don't know)
-not much to work with here in terms of obstacles

Other Thoughts:

***Update***
There are supposed to be numbered rocks indicating the tees here now. It gives you the shortest, most boring, unimaginative layout possible but I guess it works for kids. So it's technically a course not a practice area now but with the baskets falling apart, we'll see how long it remains anything at all.

Griffin Middle School has 6 baskets in the field directly in front of the school and honestly, it makes a better practice area than it does a course. So perhaps it's for the better there are no designated tees and no official layout. The holes wouldn't be much fun or challenging so just pick an obstacle and a basket to practice throwing specific lines. There are 2 baskets on each end of the area and 2 in the middle so you can practice shorter or slightly longer shots.

This would be a fantastic place to practice if you happen to live very close to the school. I would love to have this in my neighborhood. Hopefully it will be an introduction to disc golf for the students here. Otherwise it is fodder for course baggers.
