Pros:
- nice concrete tees
- nice, color tee signs
- baskets generally in good repair
- located in a well-kept, clean park with natural areas
Cons:
- safety hazards everywhere (described below)
- tee 1 pointed completely wrong direction
- one basket installed crooked
- completely flat and uninspiring
- some obstacles due to trees, but otherwise mostly very short holes
- crammed into a relatively small area of a park
- back and forth, repetitive shots
Other Thoughts:
This is easily one of the worst courses I have played, and that's saying something considering the tees, baskets, and signs were all generally in great shape. That's probably all that bumped it up to a 1 instead of a 0.5 for me.
Kiwanis Park is a nice enough park, with a playground, baseball fields, walking paths, and some wooded/natural areas. None of this fits that well with disc golf, unfortunately. The safety hazards are everywhere. On hole 3 you're throwing straight at the playground. There were 2 kids on the swings when I was playing and I had to lay up my shot to make sure I didn't risk hitting them. On hole 4 in particular, you're almost throwing towards the road on the edge of the park, as well as directly over the walking path. There are numerous other opportunities to hit walkers.
While I appreciate Brookfield's effort to put a course in (something my home city has not done), this one feels forced. They clearly put in some effort by putting in the concrete tees, etc. but it feels crammed into an area it doesn't fit into, with 4 of the 7 holes basically going back and forth through the same area with nothing unique about them.
This course is for bagging and maybe beginner practice, but I can't imagine what would bring anyone back unless they lived extremely close. I would struggle to have fun here if the park was at all crowded, and with only 7 ultra-flat and short holes, there's just nothing to get excited about here.
