Three at McKee

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 23, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

McKee Road Elementary School has three disc golf baskets in the ground! Wait. You want more info?
- We're reviewing 3 baskets in a straight line in a field behind the school building. This is a place that doesn't need to be reviewed. The picture tell you everything.
- The baskets are each spaced about 175 feet from each other. I threw from one basket to the next, turned around and played back again. I played 5 holes and was back in my truck in four minutes.
- For the purpose of this being built for elementary school kids, the baskets are useful. You can line the kids up in circles around the baskets and have them firing away.
- For the more experienced players, this is a place to practice putting and mid-range shots.

Cons:

It's a practice area. Key word is practice. If you're looking for more than that, why?
- I've seen no indication that anyone's made this a course. Maybe someone has made his/her own layout on UDisc. But in terms of visible markings that this is a 'course', there are none.
- If it's intended to be played sequentially, tee areas could be better defined.
- I realized if I throw a disc sky high, and I take off on a light run, I can almost reach the basket before the disc lands. If I had running shoes on and not boots, I may have been able to reach the basket before my disc.

Other Thoughts:

You're coming to this course to either practice, mark it off your list, or let the kids play on the playground. Only one of those will be a productive use of your time.
- I saw people running on the track at the school. They're taking advantage of the facilities here. You can too.
- You're most likely going to have the baskets to yourself. At the very least, you're not having to share a basket with too many others.
- This is right around the corner from my parents' house, about a third of a mile walk in a straight line. If the baskets were here when I was growing up, I'd have been here way too much. Today, this is a most likely a one-and-done visit the day after Thanksgiving for me.
