Other Thoughts:
I am conflicted about this one. As a disc golf lover and a fan of newer courses I want to absolutely love this course that is in my neighborhood...only a 5 minute walk away. I've stared at it for quite awhile and finally decided to play it.
I'm not exactly sure about the intention of this course. I'm guessing it was probably built for a church youth group given there are 4 par 4's listed. The distances seem to be listed in yards btw. A decent rec player will be sinking birdies (or aces) at will.
The problem with youth and newbies shooting this course is that you will be firing at buildings or cars most of the holes. A window will get broken at some point and I wonder if they will pull down the course when it does. If you need to cross this one off your list, better come fast!
If that did happen I would recommend moving a few baskets up to the field and tree line at Hole 8. This would be a great place for a putting circle or to work on intermediate drives.
If you absolutely need to play this course bring your beat up DX plastic as you will probably be skipping off concrete at least once.
You can bag this course with a putter.

Pros:
- There is a lot of parking spots. I was able to park near the first tee, but the back lot has ample parking.
- Near the first tee, there are rules and a map, as well as pencils.
- The baskets are nice and clean. The top of the baskets are blue so they are easy to spot.
- All the yards are well kept and the map makes the course easy to navigate.
- There is a limited amount of space to play, but the course uses it well.

Cons:
- There are no teepads, but the map indicates where to start.
- All of the holes at this course are very short. The description states a throw disc would be good, but a putter can be used if careful.
- The second basket has a window directly behind it so it's hard to putt this hole.
- This course was oddly structured. One of the holes goes through a neighbor's lawn.
- None of the holes are challenging.
- Some of the holes go through the parking lot, so if there are a lot of cars it might be unplayable.

Other Thoughts:
It was nice that a map was provided as well as pencils. The baskets are in good shape, but the course is not challenging and it feels weird playing a hole in someone's backyard. I wouldn't suggest young kids playing a lot of these holes unless they are very careful.
