I read the generally favorable reviews of this course and was looking forward to a fun round playing with a work friend of mine. See the cons, but I think people who have reviewed this course favorably may not have played when other people were using this park. They were also almost certainly playing from the long tees.

Generally speaking, this is a decently challenging course. The lines are generally not unfair, with fairly wide fairways, but the rough is mostly brutal, being filled with a myriad of small tree trunks that really prevent much other than an attempt at a roller or something overhead.

If you are a lefty or a forehand player, you will love this course. If your favorite shot is a long, RHBH turnover, you will also view this course favorably. Most of the holes require some variation of a left to right shot off the tee. I think I counted three total RHBH hyzer shots off the tee. If this something you need to work on, or just like playing that shot shape, you will have a good time.

There seems to be a great deal of wooded land in this park, most of which doesn't seem to have been considered when designing the course. It reutilizes existing open space for a great number of its holes, either entirely or in part. Even holes entirely in the woods on dedicated paths frequently cross over each other or have people doubling back to get to the next tee area.

Because this is a busy multi-use park in the evenings, one can see the issue. I remained in perpetual fear I was going to bean someone. I'm talking shots over sidewalks, shots over viewing areas for soccer fields, shots over roads, shots paralleling roads, blind shots using walking paths and stairways as fairways. If you don't get thrown into at some point in your journey, consider yourself lucky to have arrived at an off-peak time.

#8 long was the worst offender with a completely blind uphill shot thrown from a slight tunnel in the woods directly at a sidewalk and a soccer field. The grassy area that was the landing zone had people idly lounging watching the soccer practices. Someone WILL get hurt eventually.

Then there is the problem of the white tees (and the tee signs in general). Nearly every sign (that wasn't stolen or defaced beyond legibility) promised a white tee pad. In the early going of the round, we got a few clear short tee pads. But hole #4 should have been a warning. A rock thrown casually just into the rough off the fairway "marked" the short "pad", which did not exists other than as a mound of gravel, also nearly in the rough.

Things did not get better from there. The short tees basically did not exist and we stopped looking for them. 18 was the true capper, where the tee area should have been just a line painted on the sidewalk, but they couldn't even bring themselves to paint even that single line.

Add in the near complete absence of hyzer routes, or really anything other than some variation of turnover or forehand, and this course grew rapidly very stale and irritating for me.

Perhaps I would have had a completely different experience if I didn't feel rushed and crowded the entire time, but I have a feeling that is a very common experience unless you go during the day on a weekday.

I'm sure that there are disc golf layouts that can fit comfortably into a large, busy, multi-use athletic complex, but this wasn't it.

Other reviewers I have a great deal of respect for, and generally agree with, have reviewed this course much more favorably than I have. This is confusing to me and perhaps the course deserves another look, but the experience I had was negative enough that I'm not rushing to go do this.

Perhaps if I was expecting it to be as crowded as it was, I would have had an entirely different experience. As it is, I remain deeply disappointed in this course.
