Mostly Forgettable...except for the water 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 4, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Somebody put a 9 in a small park 15 years ago, and….well, that's the end of the story




+ Hole #1 is a short throw across the river through narrow openings on both banks. It's a decent hole, and a bit intimidating as your first throw of the round. Unfortunately, #1 is far and away the most interesting hole of the 9


+ Holes #5 and #6 are nicely narrow, short wooded holes with a walking path along the left to provide some OB. #6 throws along an alley and into a protected basket


+ The layout uses the natural elevation of the park (the geography of the area is gradually sloping down to the river that runs through the park).


Cons:

- This is a small park with picnic pavilions, ballfields, and some open spaces for running around. The disc golf layout is grafted onto the existing park, so a busy summer day will mean throwing through other park activities


- Hole #9 is just a dumb mess of a hole. A 350' par 5? Sure, because your first shot is a short chip across the same river from #1, and then the hole takes a hard right turn to play 300' along the water. The hole could have been a genuine long par 3 or short 4 without forcing it to include the water crossing off the tee.


~ The park itself is nothing special, and I doubt it gets any maintenance beyond mowing. It's great that somebody saw to it that a disc golf course was installed in the early 2000's - but there's no evidence that it gets much play or care


Other Thoughts:

COURSE AMENITIES: Good baskets, excellent signage (which even indicate which way is North), no tees, bathrooms on site when park is open


~ Pro Tip: Park near the ballfield and start on Hole #8. That gives you a little while to warm up before you face the tight water crossing on Hole #1, and you finish on a decent uphill #7, instead of #9


~ Manor Township is only worth a quick visit if you're on a bagging run exploring the many courses in the greater Lancaster area. Otherwise, you're better to spend your time at the nearby superior courses like Herr and Buchmiller
