Lake Providence DGC 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 7, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Decent tee signs.
-- Elevation change on a very small piece of land.
-- Good baskets (Mach II).
-- Water in play on one hole.

Cons:

-- Only six holes.
-- Major safety hazard on at least two holes due to walking path and blind shots. DO NOT play without a spotter.
-- In addition to the path that creates a safety hazard, holes 1 and 6 are way too close together. In particular, #6 tee is basically in the #1 fairway.
-- Gravel tee pads. They might be adequate because the holes are short (No. 2. says 360, but it is at least 100 feet shorter than that), but the No. 4 pad is already starting to wash away.
-- Long walks (particularly for such a short course) between 1-2 and 5-6.

Other Thoughts:

-- GPS might take you to the cul-de-sac on Oakmont, but there is basically NO parking there. Park in the lot for the park on Cedar Lake (at the boat ramp). There is a pavilion there with a water fountain. Walk the extra few hundred feet east to the #1 tee.
-- Two of the three safety issues seem like fairly easy fixes. Move the #1 tee (gravel, so not a big problem) south, closer to the edge of the property. Move the #6 tee closer to the walking path (you're throwing away from it, so no harm there). You now have much more room between the holes. On #5, trim the underbrush to create a straight path uphill to the basket instead of a RHBH hyzer that goes over the walking path. You probably need to trim a few limbs, but I don't think you need to take out a tree. In addition to increased safety, I think this makes the hole better.
-- This is listed as private, but there is no gate and no security. However, the first time someone gets hit by a disc, this course might get pulled.

Lake Providence 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course has good teesigns and is easy to follow since it is so short. The lake can come into play on 3 of the 6 holes if you allow it to on 1,2 and 6. The course makes good use of the thick woods that it has access too.

Cons:

The biggest issue with the course is that there are multiple shots that you are throwing blind and/or over sidewalks. When I was playing the course I saw a few people running on the side walk that makes its way around the lake and through the woods where the course. Make sure you run around the corner to make sure it is clear prior to your throw.

Other Thoughts:

This is short course located at the back of the neighborhood. You will park near the lake and hole 1 is on the right hand side. The course accomplishes what it sets out to do. In this community they are trying to provide different recreational activities. The course isn't challenging but it gives exposure and a practice area to disc golf. This is listed as a private course but there isn't a security guard or anything to get past. I didn't have any issues going to and playing the disc golf course. Since the course private (and in general) be respectful and pack out what you pack in.
