Harcrest Park's DGC is a short, simple course that offers a quick round. The fairways and landing zones are well-defined, and were well-mowed on my visit despite being the summer. The layout is easy to follow with a good in and out. The modest elevation is used effectively to promote some interesting shots.

Parking is immediately adjacent and there are compost toilets on site. There's a jungle gym for kids and the view can be pretty.

This disc golf course is to me the worst of both worlds: its play provides little to no interest to the vast majority of players, yet its terrible rough prevents it from serving its most promising function as a casual course that beginners, children, and course baggers can enjoy. The rough is significant and provides the majority of whatever technical challenge / interest exists, given that trees are barely in play and the elevation is modest. Even going just a few inches in will have you searching for discs. Beginners will have a hard time avoiding the weeds and more experienced players will be deterred from attempting the shots that are visible as they aren't worth the headache of combing through knee-high weeds and grass.

This course to me is only worth a visit if you're in the absolute immediate area or if you're a course bagger. It's among the worst in the region.

Fun beginner course with some goofy high pars that make scoring fun for new players. Typically not very crowded and adjoins a community park

I would (and do personally) avoid this course in the summer. It has some of the nastiest rough areas I've ever seen. Even the grass just off the fairway is about chest high and nearly impossible to find any errant shots in

Also intersects with pedestrian traffic quite often

Harcrest is a nice park kind of all by itself. About 15 minutes from downtown Butler. It is a fun little course that is perfect for a family to play. Played with my wife and two kids and had fun. Holes were mostly short open holes. Baskets were older style but in good shape.

As nice of a little course as this is, it has some flaws. The rough is the worst part of the course and the only obstacle on almost every hole. It's waist high from about April-October. You HAVE to have all eyes watching where you disc goes if it's in the weeds and believe me it will be at times. The part of the fairways that are mowed are only 5-10ft wide throughout the course. Par distances are definitely favouring the beginner too. Some of the holes were a distance driver throw away and was a par 5. The tee pads were cement but only 3'x3' squares. Also the tee sign for each hole is directly beside the tee pad so you have to watch you don't hit you arm when your throwing. Baskets were Mach II's witch don't catch as good as some.

Honestly my family and me enjoyed this course! It's a quick round but we spent more time looking for discs in the rough than we spent playing. I lost a disc on #3 and I saw exactly where it went in at. Looked for it to no avail. I honesty think if some of the holes we lengthened and reconfigured to make the course a little longer this could be an even better course. Something has to be done with the rough though. Playing and looking at the 4 foot high rough made me wonder how many lost discs are on the course longing to be reunited with their throwers. Will play again but might wait till late in the year or play it early next year before everything starts growing.

I'm a bagger and this course is another course added to my list of courses played.

DGA Mach 2 baskets

I liked hole # 4 the best (despite the negatives I'll mention in the con section) this hole went down and up a decent sized/ small hill. Don't go long or off the fairway.

Hole # 7 is the longest hole on this rec DGC (but I dare players to go for it with narrow fairways and high grass rough. I was playing very carefully and still searched 10 minutes plus looking for my pink disc in the dense rough).

# 1 peeve of this DGC was the tee signs on the left side of the very small (3-4') tee pads. Being a LHBH player, I had to be very careful with my follow through when driving

Obviously this is a rec DG course, with that in mind. a rec player could easily throw their drive into the gazebo that is adjacent to Hole # 1's fairway.

Hole # 8 is a short hole. And the fairway crosses the walking path with no warning signs for the walkers. So a fast flying Disc could easily whack an unaware walker.

From hole # 3 through # 7 most of the fairways we're cut only 20' wide, with most of the dense rough having waist deep grass. Go off these fairways...Good luck finding your discs Weeds/ Grass growing up through the baskets.

The course is 2155 feet long (avg hole length 239 feet) The park is pretty BIG. With wider fairways and longer holes, BIGGER Tee pads and the tee signs placed somewhere other than where they currently are this 9 hole DG course could easily be a cooler course to play.

Beautiful "Out in the Country" park. This park has a sand volleyball court, a couple horse shoe pits, small playground. Restrooms and 3 Gazebo's spread out along the few walking paths. Enough parking.

Very nice little course. This is definitely not your typical 18 hole or even 9 hole course. Great option for beginners or practice. Simple layout on a small piece of land. Nice baskets. Well laid pads. The park has decent parking, bathroom, and walking/biking trails.

Small. The par five's are more like par 3's or 4's. The teepads are nice but very small. The tee signs also are RIGHT next to the pad. This could be an issue for your reach-back, as you might nit the signs if not careful. The park itself is really new so the ground is still rough and lots of muddy spots.

An overall really nice park and good course for people just starting to play disc golf or needing to work on up-shots and putters. Well designed for the size of the park and the pads, signage, and baskets are all nice and new. Would not rate over 4 just since the length of the course and challenge. Excellent course for what it sets out to do.
