Full 18 Holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 28, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

The park has recently put 9 more holes in to give the course a full 18. This course does a surprisingly good job of taking a very small piece of land and incorporating both wooded and open holes. For the most part, it is not just throwing back and forth across a field as I had expected it to be. The holes are 90% very short, but number 7 is 465 feet across the open part of the course and provides a nice relief from throwing short, technical shots. As others have stated, there is a very good opportunity for aces. Very nice, new DISCather baskets.

Cons:

The main con is that the fairways and greens in the woods are not clear at all. This is most likely due to little traffic seeing as most of the disc golfing around the area is done at Warriors Path, Winged Deer, and Harmon Hills. Also many of the tee pads in the woods have been awfully constructed and are literally crumbling under your feet. As obvious as this is, the lack of distance and difficulty is a con for advanced and professional level players. The course gets repetitive and boring quickly if you are at this level. There are no benches at the tees. On days like today (86 degrees) that would be a very nice touch. A nice view of the most redneck water park in the world and it's cracked out / morbidly obese visitors at the hole 8 tee pad.

Other Thoughts:

The course designers have done the best it possibly could with what it had to work with, and I commend them for this. I hope it gets some extra traffic now that the full 18 have been put in. It's a great place for families and beginners, and a great place to practice your approach and mid game for advanced players. All in all it's a very simple, short course that has nothing special to offer, but deserves to be played by locals.

My hometown course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Short fun holes
- Mixture of open/wooded holes with great elevation changes
- Great chance for an ace
- Quick course that can be played under 30 minutes easily
- Hole # 2 is VERY short but fun. Straight down hill.
- Nice concrete pads (except for # 5)
- Water Park, camping, basketball, baseball all close for other family activities
- Great signs at each tee pad

Cons:

- Leading up to # 5 is treacherous when wet/muddy
- Hole # 5 pad is wood chips
- Large tree down at basket # 5
- The descent downhill AFTER hole # 5 is treacherous
- Only a 9 hole course
- Confusing walk between # 6 and # 7
- Steep uphill walk from # 9 to parking lot

Other Thoughts:

Hole # 5 needs work in more ways than one BUT that is the only hole I have ever aced! All luck though. The rest of the holes are great. Fun little course. I think they are in process of adding more holes.

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Short holes to work on your short game. Some of the holes had some degree of difficulty. I would play again if in the area.

Cons:

The day I played it was very slick in the wooded areas.

Other Thoughts:

There was enough room to add another 9 holes which would improve the over-all experience.
