Nesbitt Park reviews

Playing 9…Down by the River… 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Dec 17, 2021
Played the course:once
Pros:
This is a simple, mostly open out and back next to the Susquehanna river
+ The layout is on a flat floodplain between the river and a levee. The first four holes use scattered old growth trees to create obstacles. Although the river never comes into play, the high levee does affect some shot shapes on a few of the return holes
+ Hole #9 has the old ornate bridge over the Susquehanna framing the hole, and it's by far the most picturesque of the nine

Other Thoughts:
~ Nesbitt is a nice little park, better for walking than for disc golf. For the most part, it's just samey samey: five out, three back, and then #9 is across the parking lot. Throw straight or with a little hyzer, and it's a not very memorable 20 minute play
~ Tees are paver blocks at ground level with no frames. Some have become sunken and uneven; a few are cracked. There's no signage; the baskets are decent DGA Mach 5's.
~ Not a bad place for beginners, as there isn't much trouble to find, and they'll get the enjoyment of throwing around trees
~ Hole # 9 is separated from the rest of the layout (in the opposite direction across the parking lot). You could save yourself a long walk during your round by playing it first, and then coming back through the parking lot to play the loop of #1 - #8.
