Short ace run course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The baskets are blue powder coated and in very nice shape. They catch nicely. There are black rubber mats for tee pads for all nine holes. These were all very grippy and in great shape. They have approximately 2" x 6" metal tee number signs attached to the front right side of the tees. This helps greatly with navigation as the course is kind of crammed in a small area. There isn't a whole ton of elevation here but it is used well for the area the course is set on. They also incorporate the wooded edge on two of the holes making it slightly more challenging. There wouldn't seem to ever be too many people playing here making for a quiet peaceful round. It's also located about ten minutes away from riverside park which is a real solid 18 holer.

Cons:

The distances listed on the metal plates are completely off. For one they are listed in yards which is strange in itself. But beyond that these wouldn't be accurate even if they meant feet. Hole 1 for example was listed at 90 some yards but was probably not even 90 feet. Kinda strange for a tech college. The layout of the course was a little bit goofy too. Don't get me wrong, It's short and there isn't too much walking anyway but it's still set up a bit funky. There is a longer walk back to hole 1. Distances are they main con here. All the holes except the last one are VERY short. The last hole is the longest but still not even 300'.

Other Thoughts:

All said, this course is still a fun round albeit very short. This would be a great warm up for riverside. It's basically an ace run course. Not worth any kind of trip out of the way but if in the area and have 20 minutes to kill worth a stop. Also the course is located on the south side of the campus. when you pull in head to the southeastern side of the campus. when you see the garage you're right where you need to be. just walk behind the garage and look at the southernmost basket which will be hole 1.

Pros:

This course is located in a very nice setting, on the property of a technical college. The first few holes are relatively wooded, and there are definitely some shot shaping lines to be hit.

The tee pads and baskets are in good shape... for some reason I think blue baskets are the most beautiful things in the world, sooooo yeah.

The course is very very easy, and therefore might be a good place to bring a beginner. It's also kind of a nice walk to get away from the rest of the world.

Another positive: it's always fun to go for an ace!

Cons:

The tee signs here are all overestimated by about 100 feet (and measured in yards), but if they were accurate, then the course would be much much better. As is, this is the teeniest tiniest course that I have ever played, with only one hole exceeding 225 feet, and more than half under 200 ft.

The course is so tiny that at any given point during the round you can see about six baskets. I was excited when I saw how wooded the first few holes were, but was disappointed with their tiny distances (hole two was barely 100 ft long).

Some sort of vertical signage would be nice here because I had no idea where I was going for a good chunk of the time...

Other than the first three holes the course plays very wide open, with an exception of hole 8, which was kind of fun.

Hole 9's basket is nowhere near where you're supposed to park for this course... lame walk.

Other Thoughts:

I saw a sign that there is a random doubles league here on Thursda nights. I wouldn't be surprised if after two rounds of nine holes there was a -19 score...

Unfortunately, not very Technical 2+ years

Pros:

- MPTC's disc golf course is located at the rear of the property, on the backside of the school's main building and parking lot. The course is nine holes that zigzag back and forth over a large grassy open area. A small stand of pines comprise #2, creating a short tunnel shot and breaking up the otherwise monotonous openness. # 3 shoots out of the pines into open field. The basket for #9 is nestled close to another stand of trees.
- Decent enough rubber tees. Signage is adequate. Flow is simple and straightforward.
- The large grassy expanse is sloped with several bumps of moderate elevation. Nothing exciting, but enough to avoid being flat AND open.
- A decent beginner's course with just enough variety to present a bit of a challenge for newer players.

Cons:

- Not much variety here. Despite a valiant effort by the designer, this course is doomed to be mostly open.
- The course is sort of smooshed all together. Definitely a course I'd be nervous on if crowded.

Other Thoughts:

- I saw a little kid (with his dad) out here bombing it during my round. Future dg superstar.
- The course location isn't obvious at first. Just head to the back of the college parking lot/buildings.
