Heritage Park is looooong on promise 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Good use of land. This is on a former ball golf course, so it's pretty open, but hills are incorporated well as is the small amount of water even though there is no water carry.
-- If you are a long thrower, you will appreciate the length: Seven holes longer than 500 feet and two more within a dozen feet of 500. Only four are shorter than 350 feet.
-- Two elevated baskets (4, 17), sitting on small mounds.
-- Maintenance seems excellent. However, we played less than a week before a tournament, so the course might not be in that type of pristine condition most of the time.
-- Course starts off with good variety with the two best holes among the first four. No. 1 is a slight downhill throw with water on the left and a few trees right to avoid. No. 2 is a great hole, 492 feet, starting up hill, with basket sitting on a downslope that continues well past the basket. No. 3 is the shortest hole on the course (223 feet), a RHFH downhill throw with a hill on the right, trees and some possibility of water on the left. No. 4 is a long tunnel shot with trees on both sides. One side is a steep hill up, and the other side is down toward the river. Once you clear the tunnel (about 350 feet), you'll find an elevated basket. The hole is 552 feet. Only two of the remaining 14 holes are shorter than 397 feet, so prepare for long hole after long hole (all of them mostly open except for one pinball hole in the woods on the back 9). If rest of course matched the first four in terms of average length, the course would be just short of 7,448 feet instead of 8,603 feet.
-- Course flow is good except for 10-11, which requires you to walk mostly the length of 11 parallel to the fairway to get to the tee.
-- No map, but next tee signs are hanging from the bottoms of baskets to help.
-- Disc golf only area.

Cons:

-- No restrooms or water on site.
-- Trash cans and benches/seating are sparse at best.
-- The 8/10 tee boxes are WAY to close together. And the 8/9 fairways are really close (parallel with OB). 1/18 are not as close but still there is OB to separate them. Given how much room exists on this former ball golf course, this seems really unnecessary.
-- There are some long walks between holes on what is already a long course.

Other Thoughts:

-- Some areas are marked as "Do not throw from here" with a drop zone but no penalty. I was told that is to help prevent erosion.
-- Some of the turf tee pads (repurposed from a football field) look odd with numbers and multiple colors, but they are in good shape.
