Fun Run 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 28, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Plenty of different shots on this course. Both technical and big arm shots. This is a continual game improver if you stay committed.

Cons:

A few holes could use some defined lines. I felt like a couple of the holes were just placed in an area that needed some more work.

Kutter - Played March of 2017 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 3, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It looks like the course captain & team are working on the course. New bridges in some places.

A great mixture of wooded, dogleg, narrow fairway and distance holes. Pretty challenging for me, but I enjoyed it all the same. Pins are in good shape -- almost new.

This is a bogey+ course, although I'm proud of my three (3) pars shot today. They were not easy to come by.

Cons:

Tee pads are nothing to brag about, but they are there. Most are useful, a few are not.

For me, this is a late fall to early spring course. I just can't believe the poison ivy doesn't show up in the summer. Also, losing a disc would be much easier in the summer once the leaves flesh out the wooded areas. Today was a great, sunny March day with little wind -- perfect weather for disc golf.

There is a lot of water to cross on this course -- mostly a stream running through the park -- and getting down and shooting from that stream is not always easy. There are some crude steps in some places, but be careful going up and down.

Other Thoughts:

A fun course, really. Need for the long drive (which I don't have) doesn't show up until halfway thru the round, and doesn't matter on the last 3 or 4 holes. Accuracy is demanding ... which makes the course fun to play.

Decent Eastside Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 6, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Excellent use of available park space in a beautiful park. Plenty of parking available. I have lived by this park for years and was skeptical that they could fit a real 18 in, but they did a great job. Practice tee by hole 1. New Innova Discatcher baskets. Creek running through course creates some nice natural hazards. Risk/reward level is good with a couple death putts. Course flows well. Good elevation changes. Good amount of water in play if creek is higher, but most of the time the creek is shallow enough that on a bad shot, you can get your disc back. Easy to find the next tee.

Cons:

A few of the first wooded holes are a disaster after it rains and have some potentially dangerous/hazardous muddy slopes and rocky creek crossings. Forget about it after a generous rainfall unless you want to go sliding big time. Don't bring your small children to this course at it's present state. If you have trouble or a problem with climbing steep hills or traversing rocks over creeks while keeping balance, this isn't the course for you. The field holes are kind of boring (up, down, up, down, up), Plastic tee pads are already wearing down. Concrete tee pads would be a huge benefit here! Sometimes confusing in the open holes as to which basket you should be throwing toward. Be wise, throwing your disc over the fences on some holes is throwing over a 10 foot fence with barbed wire on top.

Other Thoughts:

++ UPDATE 10/26/16++ There are now some nice bridges being built on the course that have removed some of the scary crossings. There are still some suspect crossings over rocks for the less nimble but it has gotten a lot better. I am bumping my rating for this........I liked this course well enough and to be fair it is pretty new and they are still working on it. There will have to be some adjustments made as far as walking paths, as this place can become flat out dangerous after a rainfall. I believe with time the course will improve and has the potential to be a gem. If I had to rate the difficulty of this place, it would be a 6.5/10. There is a soda machine as you enter that has the coldest water, energy drinks and soda you will ever drink for $1, in case you forgot to bring drinks.
