2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 7, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Nice concrete pads and signage
- Great baskets with multiple pin locations
- A good variety of holes with many throw options and challenging hazards
- Its a nice walk in the park, nothing too straining

Cons:

- Can get crowded at times (mostly pedestrians not golfers)
- Fairways cross on a couple holes depending on the pin placements
- The creek is deceiving; you do NOT want to land in there.

Other Thoughts:

Its a real nice 9 hole course overall. Plenty of challenge for all golfers alike. Can't wait for the other 9 to be installed next year.

Technical Course in Nice Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great technical course with lots of trees and water hazards. This course will really help you master low ceiling line drive throws, or high spike hyzers.

The course flows very well and makes excellent use of the available land.

There are two different basket locations for each hole which completely alter the course.

Cons:

Several of the tee locations are in potential fairways/basket locations of other holes, especially when the baskets are in the long locations. This isn't a problem if the course isn't busy. If the course is crowded, like it was at the Grand Opening tournament on Saturday, you just need to be patient before teeing off, and make sure other disc golfers are aware when you throw.

The tee pads were a little bit short for my run up. For most of the holes I didn't really try to gun it, so it wasn't an issue.



Other Thoughts:

While it is a peaceful park setting and the length of the course make it fairly beginner friendly, the high number of water hazards can be frustrating for new disc golfers. I highly recommend investing in a Disc Gator Retriever when you play this course.

Great use of space 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is set in a large public park with a creek winding through the middle. As we drove up I was expecting the usual wide open unimaginative set-up common to these types of installations.
Instead I was met with a creative, technical, small slice of disc golf genius. I tend to be overly critical when a local amateur gets involved in fairway layout, but in this case I cannot imagine a better design for the space available. Not a high end destination but definitely worth playing if you are in the area.
Concrete tees are installed fairly flush to the grass. (they are too short but you can generally achieve a run-up over grass)
Baskets are brand new discatchers.
Creek is shallow and marshy - hard to lose a disc (this is a pro)
Grass fairways are kept nicely mown by the park staff.
Decent mix of open and tight fairways.
Good balance of Left and Right.
None of the fairways are super long (<300)which is normally a drawback, however, in this case the some of the longer fairways require low flights or significant lateral movement. Stronger players won't easily reach baskets on #2, #3 and #9. In fact, #3 is only 230' but is heavily guarded by large trees and requires a severe left -> right flight. One of our guys parked it and birdied but his disc easily traveled through more than 300' of airspace.

Cons:

Short tee pads (8')
10' should be minimum and 12' is even better -IMHO
I checked and there is space behind each pad for crushed gravel or concrete extensions in the future.
No tee signs yet
Other park-goers are not yet fully aware of the course. Plan to pre-walk some fairways and POLITELY ask others to step aside and allow you to play through. In some cases you will be forced to skip holes.
Beware of fenced backyards. Most have signs indicating disc retrieval is not allowed. These areas are mostly out of play so no worries unless you have a strong wind or a poor thrower.

Other Thoughts:

Tip: Tee pad for #3 is not marked but we were told you are supposed to use the small depression in the asphault jogging path. NE of basket 2.

Try to play early in the morning to avoid picnic groups and kids exploring the creek. Above all, be prepared to skip over certain fairways as this installation is integrated too close to attractions to justify priority to golfers.

Overall, not a killer championship course due to the shorter lengths and lack of par 4 and 5's but experienced players should find this course challenging and enjoyable.
