A Good Par 3 Course Right Off Rt 422 & 724 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 7, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Kenilworth is an beginner par 3 course that will easily turn into a birdie sanctuary for more advanced players, but it's an extremely solid home course for the rest of us. Much of the community park is specifically dedicated to Disc Golf and the course makes full use of the local terrain with a variety of shots. It has yellow banded discatchers, adequate tee signs and excellent 5'x10' concrete tees flush with ground.

The first five holes loop on a gentle incline in the forest with generous fairways. The rest of the course takes place in open grass, slightly hilly fields with pockets of forest. Median length is 235' and the longest is a 395' downhill.

It's not extremely technical but there's enough going on for most recreational players and it generally hits the mark of what an excellent community course can offer.

Baseball and fishing in the lake by the parking lot seems popular.

+There is a solitary practice basket north of the lake, left when driving in.
+Throwing #9, a downhill 400'er with a right turn, is always fun!

Cons:

A few minor downsides. It's very well frequented. Even on weekday afternoons, you'll likely bump into player groups. Other than a few dog walkers, park regulars generally won't be on the DG course.

For first-timers, it's also a bit confusing where the disc course actually is and signs are not about.

It's a lot to mow and that sometimes doesn't happen often enough. It's not uncommon to find an unkempt field above ankle height during wet and warm months.

During little league baseball season, the main lake parking lot gets stuffed without much room to turnaround -- the second parking lot is about 750' backwards, at the end of Park Drive, and mostly empty.

-#16 with a pond straight out in front is the most probable disc loss spot.

Other Thoughts:

Starting Point: Use the parking lot by the lake. Talk the walkway at the southern end that goes downhill and go straight over the metal bridge and turn right uphill. A couple hundred feet should be a billboard and first tee on the left.

Amenities: Portapotty at beginning of lake parking lot.

From Forest to Plains 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The road less traveled. I've played K-worth half a dozen times and only once did I get stuck behind a group.

For a par 3 course the holes have nice variety of distance, elevation, and line. From a 160' hole to a 390' hole, you'll get to use more discs than you would on most par 3 courses.

The first 6 holes are nice and secluded so you can better "prepare" for the last 12.

Some forested holes have multiple approach options, and I had fun skying my disc a few times for a nice birdie chance.

Cons:

It can get a little mundane with 10 non-wooded holes in a row, but at least there's a couple dog-legs and hills to keep it interesting.

It's a little too easy out in the field making pars mostly free.

Other Thoughts:

It's a fun course to frequent.
Good chances for aces.
Prob won't lose any discs.
There's a baseball field for practicing right at the parking lot.

It's not a great course but for a par 3 it has a lot to offer.

Great Local Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 8, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Shorter course; smaller arms will love this course
- great upkeep
- concrete pads
- great signage
- easy to follow course layout

Cons:

- shorter course; not too many opportunities to open it up

Other Thoughts:

Don't have too many bad things to say about this course. It's a great local course and much less crowded than Sedgley, etc. I would recommend this course to anyone in the area, fun little course with some tricky holes.

Short, but fun. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 28, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-New concrete teepads at all the holes (Couldn't find a couple in the deep snow, but I assume they are there somewhere).

-Good signage at every hole.

-Good use of the limited trees and bushes. They made a very wide open course challenging and interesting.

Cons:

-It is a little bit of a walk from the course to parking lot. Not too far, but just enough that it would be a bother if you forgot something in the car.

-There are some thorns if you end up in the tree groves.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course if you wanted to play a short round, or if you wanted to try the sport for the first time. Most of the holes are just a little over 200 feet, which is just right for new players. The first 5 holes are in the woods, after that you are in a field for the rest dotted with groups of trees. The Basket placement in and around the trees makes this short course interesting and fun. There are very few wide open, big dumb hyzer holes. With the new teepads, signage, Discatcher baskets, and excelent use of a small space, I can't think of any negatives for this course.

Home course # 2 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 5, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is an ace race course if I've ever played one. Front five are very tight and technical wooded shots. The rest of the course includes a number a varying field shots. Its a fun course that isn't very demanding physically to play. Great for beginners learning how to achieve distance accuracy.

Cons:

Lots of spots on the sides of the fairways that make it easy to loose a disc or get caught up in briar patches

Other Thoughts:

I currently have holes #3 #13 & #15 aced. My current par score for this course is -12. Anyone top that yet?
The par for this course is very forgiving. Its a 58 (four fours) but really should just be a straight three average course.
