The designers probably made the best out of what they had available. For a beginner, this is a very good course. There were several holes that were within ace territory. My wife basically played par for the course. Great day for her. I worked on my mid/short game.
+ Nice concrete pads on 17 out of 18 holes, 14 plays off the path.
+ Within 5 minutes of Victory Brewing!

- previous reviewers mentioned good signs...someone must have stolen them. There were tee signs on less than half the holes. The saving grace was directional signs on the baskets.
- Long (boring) walk back to lot from 18th hole.
- Most holes showed little imagination. You can throw the same shot on most holes. If you have a decent arm, you can play this course with a mid-range and a putter.
- Almost no elevation change

I would have liked to see a little more of an out and back course. There was no 'signature' hole. The wooded area has potential, but needs some major work. I believe that they could reconfigure 14 through 18 to create a good finishing set. 14 over the river, 15 out longer, 16 back around the building, 17 back across the river and finish with 18 coming back towards the pavilion. I expect that I will play this one again.

+ All tee signs are crisp, clean and accurate with detailed diagrams, distances and pars.
+ All baskets have 'next hole' signs hanging off them to point players in the right direction.
+ A few water hazards add some extra drama to the course.
+ The course takes the player on a brief walking tour over bridges, through tunnels and by a small part of the downtown area past some shops and restaurants.

- No practice pin or lost disc box.
- There are no permanent tee pads except for holes 1 and 11. (for now)
- Barely any holes longer than 350 feet. This course is brief.
- Some navigation issues present.
- Hole 18 finishes nowhere near the parking lot. Bring your sense of direction with you.
- The majority of holes are wide open with very few trees to consider before throwing.
- The disc golf course feels crammed into the park. It weasels around OB paths, past playgrounds and through public areas. Players can feel like sideshows on display here.

My favorite hole at this course is 14 because it requires the player to somewhat risk a disc by throwing over a wide stream towards a basket protected with trees. It is a pleasantly dramatic hole. My least favorite hole here was 17 because that initial gap in the woods was overgrown and treacherous to walk with deep puddles, fallen limbs and civic debris all over the fairway.

As for the course overall, Kerr Park is a little rough around the edges as it is still a relatively recent establishment. The lack of tee pads on all but two of the holes is an issue that is already in the process of being corrected. And there are still some signage issues that subtract from the course. The most glaring example is the path between holes 2 and 3. The sign from basket 2 seems to point to tee 8, and I did not see the easily missed sign that was meant to direct me into the woods for holes 3 through 7. So, I played the course out of order.

Other things that subtract from the course are not as easily corrected. Not much can be done about the basically flat topography. As a result of this course playing near a river, some of the fairways are easily saturated after any amount of rain. And the mostly open course could benefit from a few additional challenging holes like what holes 3 through 7 try to offer.

It's not all bad, though. For its short duration, Kerr has a respectable amount of variety. The wooded holes within the front nine are a nice break from the norm, even if they are rather swampy. I do like the river and stream hazards all throughout the course. They give the player a reason to stop and think. The venue is pleasant and jovial. I liked the medium level of difficulty here.

In closing, Kerr Park is a decent course to get players accustomed to water hazards. Some parts do feel shoe-horned into the larger park, and more than a few holes feel like filler because of how flat and open it is. Any player can enjoy this park, though, because of how inoffensive and approachable it is. Gently recommended because of its solid basics.

Hole 5 is awesome and in my opinion the signature hole. Its a straight tunnel shot that is fair.
Overall I had fun.

Some tee post markers are not present (7,8,9,12)
I did not play the intended tee on 17 because since it is so wet right now any shot that does not make it out of the gap would be in several inches of bog.
The walk back to the car is far.

Tee posts need to be redone/darkened.
For the wooded hole the loose sticks should be organized so as to better define the fairways.
Since the tee post for 7 is gone and the arrow from basket 6 points straight into a bog something needs to be done hear to better guide players.

-A mix of woods, treed fields, and open play on flat terrain.
-Reasonable distances and some memorable holes.
-Overall Park was nice, but was fairly crowded even on a rainier day.
-The DG course now makes up an impressively prominent portion of the park.

-Posts or wooden stakes mark tees and few signs to be seen, I suppose this will change.
-A good number of holes run alongside river, mostly on the right hand side, for those uncomfortable with that. Also, there was a lot of fishing going during my trip (April/May) which meant a lot of people close or crossing the course throughout. Could just be seasonal.
-Course doesn't loop back around, expect a trek back to the car.
-#13, 15, 16, and 18 is mundane and fairly repetitive of previous holes here, not sure the extra walking after #14 is worth it.
-Disc loss potential at #14.

tldr; All in all, a very respectable hometown course I'd go to again, if I'm in close vicinty, but lacks the wow factor to make me want to travel out of the way for it though. It just opened, I'm sure a lot of positive changes and improvements will come in time.

Kerr Park Parking was behind the Downington Library. Right now, the first tee is located at 40.010807, -75.705438 (on google maps), just turn right before the "Sky's the Limit" Playground starts and it's at it's back edge marked with a stake.

#1-2 were both in that treed field going north and fairly decent. As a RHBH, one was a regular backhand, two required forehand curve.

Go towards the river and take the trail into the forest, then take the first (or second?) branching trail that goes right and tee#3 should be near the start.

#3-7 are short, forested holes with curves, some crossed small streams that were more or less dry when I was there. The forest vegetation looks like it could be a major pain in the summer but Idk for sure, everything was heavily blanketed already. After #7, exit the woods where you entered.

#8-16 follows the river southwards, in the direction the water is going, crossing the river mid-way through 14. Tee#8 is close by the river, same general vicinity as basket#2. Around 325' and light trees. Tee#9 is near the bend in the park trail as it passes the playground and a similiar distance, trees thinned out.

#10 starts near the river but shoots across a small, mostly dry, tributary to the basket near the big tree. Cross the small bridge. Tee#11 is closer to walking trail and shoots across an empty field, basket is very close to river. #12 is overall blocked by columns of small trees along its entire distance straight past the tee and I had to shoot a forehander around it.

Follow the park trail underpass of the street road. #13 is another river-hugger. Take the second park trail underpass of the next road.

tee#14 is just besides the bridge before crossing. Basket is on the other side. There's a fairly decent sized tree on the other bank waiting to swat discs right into the river. Cross bridge. #15 is alongside river. #16 is fairly long for this course, but is more into the field.

#17 starts backtracking. Tee is at edge of woods, basket is a short shot right next to the nearby building. #18 is another open field shot. Done.
