Well groomed course with a fairly "pedestrian" front 9 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Plenty of parking at both 9's
- bathrooms were nice and right by first hole
- super well groomed course, grass was green and perfectly cut, park is very picturesque
- baskets caught easily, brand new ones on the back 9. No spit outs or rust or anything unsavory.
- Nice to have a couple par 4's mixed in there
- fun top of the world shot on #6 with lots of danger on the right
- back 9 was great tight woods golf, only a couple of 300+ holes and the rest were short and technical. Rarely an obvious line to park it but a straightforward line to get to c2. Great risk /reward. Good rough to punish bad shots.
- front 9 And back 9 plus hole 8 were totally different vibes and played like 2 different courses.
- #7 was my favorite hole, blind tee shot over a swamp to a tight guarded green
- didn't lose any discs despite the woods surrounding most holes
- great difficulty, some challenges for players of all skill and some short enough holes that a true beginner could park with a lucky shot.
- super short walks and fairly intuitive layout on the back 9 make for easy navigation

Cons:

- #4 is a hazard for cars and walkers, plays right down the busiest walking path in the park. It's an awesome hole though.
- #1 is the only true gimme birdie on the course, no obstacles whatsoever and a straight 200 ft shot.
- Walk between #7 and #8 along with #9 to #10 is crazy long, both 1000+ ft.
- back 9 is not groomed at all, super tall grass and really thick rough.
- lots of walkers and park goers on front 9, didn't see any on back 9 thank God but the holes are so packed in that pretty much anyone being there would be dangerous.
- barbed wire fences, thick rough and park boundaries make for high disc losing potential on the back 9.
- #1, #2, #3, #5, and #9 are all kind of duds. Just wide open holes that are straight at the basket with minimal obstacles.
- I saw between 2 and 4 tee signs on this 18 hole course. Without the udisc map there is no possible way to navigate it.

Other Thoughts:

There's a lot of good and bad here but overall had a blast playing this short course with no OB's or Mandies. Very scorable for a player with consistency and a decent arm. Easy to park and play but probably don't go at a peak time when non golfers are in the park. I went on a Sunday morning and all the sprinklers we're going which was a bummer. Loved the woods holes though and I think with a more creative front 9 and tee signs this could be a 3.5 or. 4.

Keeps getting better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 16, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The Parks and Rec. department is slowly making improvements to course as funds become available. In the future it should be a legit, tournament ready course. Overall, a fun mix of long, open shots with short, tight shots in the back. Challenging for beginners but not super easy for expert.

Cons:

Dirt tee pads get muddy after rain/snow. Sometimes crowded with other players and other park users, most often on really nice sunny days. No elevation, except on #6.

Other Thoughts:

For a local park course it is very good. Tests players' abilities with a multitude of different shots over the 18.

Great local course in the making 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 2, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice new front nine with a vary of course types, long drives and tree shots, with one swamp shot makes it a great front, the back it only dingers with shorted distances, more of a trick shot/ace area, but great none the less with much foliage and obstacles.

Cons:

Front nine has teepad about to be put in, wood framing is there but he ground is not covered with rubber, concrete, etc. More baskets are in the making, but funding from local businesses is what the baskets are relying on.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a great course to play, i do almost every day. Almost a compete change is preferred disks for the front and back, very different courses. come try it out, give some feedback, make disc golf available for every disc golfer.
