It's close to home ;-) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 17, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is the closest course to my house.
Basket #1 is back, so it's back to being 9 holes.
It's short. Players with even a mediocre arm can easily overthrow many of the holes.
It's well marked, and seems to be checked up on regularly. (One of the signs was missing, but had been replaced with paint on a cement block.)
A good choice for beginning players or other players that just want to get out for a quick 9.

Cons:

It's short. Really short.
The course design is restricted by the space available.
The neighborhood isn't the best, but I didn't feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

Other Thoughts:

My thanks to Melvindale. It's nice to have a course that's ~10 minutes from home. When I just want to get out for a quick nine, this is (for me) a great course. Further, when I play with my son (10 years old) he isn't intimidated by long holes and he can even make par sometimes.
I hope that this course continues to be kept up and is available.
The course design is not the best, but isn't bad given the space available. It has a couple of thin holes (5 and 6) with trees/bushes on both sides. It has a slight amount of elevation changes. There is no water (unless you throw really wild and end up in the Rouge.)
I gave the course a 2.5 because it is well marked and playable, which is good for a 9 hole course.

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 19, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great for beginners and those just learning the game, and also not bad for a quick and simple one disc game. A few holes offer a mild challenge thanks to some low ceilings on holes 1, 4, 5 and 6.

Cons:

Watch your throws! Much of the side areas of the holes consists of fairly deep vegetation, and could be difficult to retrieve discs. Challenge is very limited and holes are all pretty short.

Other Thoughts:

It's pitch and putt. Simple as that. Not big or fancy, but if you're a new player and wonder if disc golf might be for you, it's not a bad place to play your first round.
