1) Basic beginner friendly 9-Hole course in a small city park in the city of Benton, with ample parking, modern bathrooms, and everything you would expect from a well maintained city park.

2) Gets all the essentials right as most HB Clark courses do, nice large textured concrete tee pads, aging but still good Discatcher baskets, nice tee pad signs with full color hole map and all relevant information, course map kiosk, and a practice basket.

3) Well designed to illicit the most potential out a relatively small and crammed section of available land. The course is kind of shoe horned between parking lots, access roads, and several sports fields.

4) Very smartly utilizes the land that is otherwise unusable, quick changes in elevation, side slopes, small creek area, etc that parking lots and fields can't realistically be built on. Even though it is shoehorned in there, it takes full advantage of it to give some nice holes.

5) Definitely a targeted design for beginner and family outing style players. This course lacks punishing lines, rough, and hazards, and none of the distances are super long. I think 300 feet is the farthest hole I noticed.

6) Each hole manages to be just enough different that it creates its own unique challenge, whether it be navigating a line through trees, having to control a disc up a steep hill, or having touch throwing downhill. It even forces a variety of, albeit gentle, left to right and right to left shots. A great introduction to learning how your discs fly on an actual course without the possibility of losing them.

7) The solid use of elevation an almost every hole raises this course from passable to reasonable. I normally wouldn't recommend a course like this to seasoned players or anyone outside the local area. However this one has just enough difficulty and fun factor that if I were in the area to play Mike Miller Park, or I had my family with me or a newer player, I'd make time out for this course.

8) For seasoned players this is a great Ace Run course, and just fun in general, especially if you want to introduce someone to disc golf.

1) You are crammed into small spaces between sports fields, roads, parking lots and a small playground. On a busy day these could all be potential issues. Both times I have played here we pretty much had the park to ourselves, but I haven't played it during the warmer months.

2) Lack of overall challenge and being a very straightforward design it isn't a course I would frequent, even if I lived nearby. Once your skill progresses beyond what this course is intended to teach, there are just too many other better options in the area to play.

3) The original disc golf "lines" are starting to disappear as the course ages and the park maintenance crew probably has no idea about how to keep that mowed and trimmed correctly. #3 is a good example of the "tight gap" through the trees over the ditch is walled in with vines and overgrowth making the basket impossible to see from the tee and forcing you to throw over the trees from the tee instead of through them as intended.

4) Otherwise no real "cons", the amenities are there, the course is fine for what it is designed for, and it's a nice quick easy play.

Great introduction to disc golf course, or even a stretch your legs and warm up course if you just want to get out of the house and throw some discs.

Not a destination course, and clearly outshined by the multiple other courses in the area (including Mike Miller right down the road), but I don't regret stopping in to play a quick nine. I had fun even if it wasn't the most challenging course ever. The course could definitely use some love from the locals or someone who knows something about disc golf in the area to get back to exactly how it was designed, but the course is wonderful for locals and kids in the area as is.

Basic 9-hole course in a small city park. Has all the essentials- concrete tees, baskets, signs, course map at kiosk, and practice basket.

Definitely makes the most out of available land, and land that was not likely not used for much else, perfect place to put in a few holes.

Beginner and family friendly, no punishing rough and nothing super long. Each hole is unique and offers its own small challenge- whether it be a few trees, throwing uphill, or carefully attacking the basket on a downhill fairway. The strength of this course is the use of elevation- equal balance of flat, up, and down.

#1 is a nice open warm-up, not too hard. #2 gives people a taste of what lots of trees on a hole is like. #3 was my favorite playing downhill through a narrow gap chance at an ace. #4 is an intro for RHBH how to play a fairway that turns right. #5-9 are good practice for playing up and down hills with a few trees.

Close to the park road, and somewhat close to other park activities like the small playground and ball fields, which could be an issue on busy Saturdays or holidays, but that goes for most any city park course.

Just not super challenging, relatively straight forward with the potential to become stale if you played multiple rounds here (but it does great for who this course is geared towards, as I would bring new people here for sure.)

I always recommend taking a picture of the map, and navigation is pretty straightforward. But be sure to pay attention to where hole 7 is, cross the road up the hill past 8's basket as it was the only tee I really had to spend more than 10 seconds looking for.

Appropriate small city 9-hole park style course. Good intro/practice course, but then move on over to nearby Miller for a tougher test.


My rating is a 2.0 [Reasonable] as it has everything you need , but travelers need not go out of their way to play here. Leave it to for the locals, kids, and course baggers as there are many better choices in the Paducah area. It is very nice that this area has so many choices of courses to appeal to a wider skill range of players.

Brand new Innova Discatchers, Concrete Tee Pads, great Signage. This course is well layed out in the area provided. It hugs around the edge of the behind the ballfield and pool and uses pretty much all the area available. Each hole has a distinct fairway where your not throwing into any other golfers.(provided you shoot the lines) Several ace runs.

initially some trimming needed to be done. It has been done now. No Cons.

For tournaments usually OB are marked to add a little difficulty.
Incredibly fun course. There are open shots, wooded holes, anny lines, low ceiling shots Uphill lines and Guarded baskets all in a quick 9 hole layout, what more can you ask for?
