First designed and constructed as an Eagle Scout project by Skylar Radka in 2015, the course at Laurelain has proved popular and has received the support of many folks in the community including a city councilman/commissioner who is very active in the course's growth.

So I show up here on a beautiful May morning expecting to play this simple little 9 hole beginner's course. I figure to get through in about 20 minutes tops. Well, after about 45 minutes of frustration, wandering, lots of bad words, backtracking and a little bit of throwing discs, I had reached had my fill of Laurelain and was trying to get back to my car and move on to my next course. As I was standing by one of the tee pads, probably with mayhem in my eyes, when this guy walking his Goldendoodle politely asked if I could use some help. So I unleashed some built up frustration and starting to tell him everything I thought about this screwed up excuse for a course.

So he told me the whole story. The simple little hole course had added a back nine which has constituted changing the entire design. The old signs are still there but none of the information is correct! There is an older gentlemen who is slowly working in getting new signage up that will actually match the course's online map. Knowing this earlier would have great. I could have just played a safari type round and drove off into the sunset. Instead I yelled, screamed and raised by blood pressure to dangerous levels.

The course has Discatchers, natural pads with a front board and nice looking metal signs. The park features some lovely rolling hills, a creek and lots of lush, green grass.

Currently, the online map is incorrect.

Currently, the tee signs are incorrect.

Currently, the numbers in the baskets are incorrect.

Sometimes, the signs refer to the White tees and the Blue tees. Except at hole # 4. The sign here refers to the White baskets and the Blue Basket, but the baskets they've referring to are both yellow Discatchers. And oh yeah, this hole # 4 is now hole # 10. And I'm Professor Emmet Brown.

I found myself down in the area where some of new holes are located (I found 13 and 14) but couldn't find a way to cross the mighty Ohio River and had to back track all the way back again.

At the height of my frustrating round, I was ready to give this &*+#$&@ 3.0 rated course a 1.0. After extensive sessions of yoga, zen meditation and countless therapy appointments, my counselor tells me that I'm now capable of making a rational decision on the rating of Laurelain Park Disc Golf Course. And I'm still giving the #-%$@+ course a zero! Nooooooo, only kidding, I'll go with a 2.5 with the expectation that ALL the needed changes are forthcoming. And I'll never be back to see them implemented.

New course with Innova DISCatcher baskets. The course is in a simple layout with clear tee signs and "Next Tee" arrows on baskets. Short fun course good for practice. Most of the holes have alternate basket locations (A white and blue for short and long pin placement). Some elevation changes and lightly wooded.

Holes are on the shorter side and tend to be less challenging. This is only a 9 hole course, but there are plans to rearrange and develop into an 18 holes.

An enjoyable new course with the potential to develop into a full 18 with more challenge! It's great to have another course in Reading, PA!
