Low-budget, pitch-n-putt course on rec center property, in a mildly urban setting. Nothing more. Nothing less.

• Variety - Decent: typical of what you'd expect for pitch-n-putt. Distances pretty much suited for mids/putters. Good use of trees to force shot some degree of shaping and finesse. A few holes out in the open.

• Elevation - Mostly flat, but makes good use of a couple of berms to provide an "elevated" tee, and a pin placement where rollaways can add strokes.

• Challenge: OK for beginners. The challenge for experienced players is how far under par you can get and running aces. What keeps me coming back is practicing long comeback putts after running the pin off the tee.

• Equipment - Passable: Baskets are cheap, but they work. Tees signs let you know where to go, but lack distances - and a few are already broken/missing. Natural tees are OK because this course doesn't see much traffic.

• Aesthetics - Meh: Not this reviewer's idea of a nice setting. Despite a good view of the Rouge River, course feels semi-industrial urban, and just a tad trashy. Plenty of road noise also detracts from the experience.

• Good use of land that doesn't appear to get much use otherwise.

• Drainage: Better than most area courses after it rains.

• Safety: A busy street runs along the left side of hole 7. There's enough space to keep most (but definitely not all) RHBH shots out of the road. Point is, shots can get away from you...even more so for beginners (as this course will attract). Factor in the wind this course gets, and discs will end up in the road.

My pet peeve with the above is that it's avoidable. #7 could (and should) have been angled to the right, which would have routed throws away from (rather than parallel to), the road, and could have used a mound for the basket placement.

Hole #4 brings an admittedly seldom used bench into play. Twice, I've had I had to let someone know I planned to throw something in their general direction. One person seemed mildly curious. The other looked at me like I was from planet Mongo.

• Trash: Quite a bit of a trash randomly blown about the course (particularly holes 1 - 6).

• The rough bordering the left side of holes 2-6 gets crazy thick during the summer.

• More an observation than an actual con: Would have been nice if # 9 ended up closer to # 1... whether for playing another round, or just to avoid a long boring walk to the car. That said, I don't see a reasonably good way that could have been done.

Often windy - not a bad place to practice upshots/putts in the wind, and a decent place to work on your short game in general.

I've played close to 20 rounds here (because it's the closest course to my office), so I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who played a part in making this course a reality.

Fine for a quick round if you're already in the area. Not worth travelling more than 20 min to play.

It's another disc golf course in the area. This simple little 9 hole course starts by in the trees by the far left corner of the parking lot and ends at the parking lot at the other side of the building by the senior citizen center. There are a few natural pads. On other holes there is nothing, so just tee off from either side of the basket. The hole signs are orange and show a route, complete with trees, and the hole number. The baskets are MVP Black Hole. They're a double chain model but cheaply made with thinner gauge steel than other brands. # 1 was stolen a while ago but has now been replaced or returned or found? But now, in a true moment of inspiration, someone of genius level mentality, has driven a small metal fence post into the ground under the basket so that now, this metal pole sticks up through the bottom of the basket and is padlocked to the chains. I'm sure these steel poles are placed here as a theft deterrent and I'm pretty darn sure, you won't be seeing them at a course near you. Although, this might not affect your putting, it will affect the mental part of your putting. But if you're playing this course, I doubt very much if you have a PDGA number or a bag or a putter or a job or a car or even a DGCR secret membership card.

The holes are mostly short, think 150' average. Holes 2 & 3 play with the Rogue River on your left. It would take quite a errant hyser to reach the river but later # 6 does have some nasty, thick rough on the left. Then 7-9 play out to the open lawn area although #9 does have the basket close to some nasty rough.

The design here is terrible. The designer could not have possibly ever played disc golf. Obviously this is Course designed for beginners/rec players but then you have holes like #6 playing through a tight little window with nasty rough on the left.

Whoever thought sticking a steel post through the chains has obviously never played.

No tee pads.

Silly signs with no distance listed.

As I finished my short, but amusing round, with darkness fast approaching, as I walked the long walk back to my car, there were a group of scruffy looking dudes and girls hanging out there in that corner, playing their music and a hugging on each other. They weren't threatening but they did make me a little uncomfortable. I can imagine these same scruffy dudes doing some damage to the course here. They had that look that just oozed discontent and shouts, "I'm bored and I'm looking for something to break up and these baskets look breakable to me."

If I had the chance to adjust this course, just a little, I would take out one of the holes close to the river and add another hole out in the field somewhere. It wouldn't make this a great course but it might help some. About my rating, a 9 hole course, with no pads, cheap baskets and a terrible design is not a average course (2.5) it's way lower than that. I'm probably generous giving it a 1.5.

I think course is looking at a short shelf life. Between lack of play and being in a shaky neighborhood, I predict this course will be toast in two years, summer of 2019, I say. You can look it up, in just two short years
