Disc Golf Add-On to Municipal Ball Golf Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 2, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

A 9 hole pay-to-play public ball golf course with 2 baskets per hole, creating an 18 hole disc course.


+ Artificial turf tees separate from golf tee mats, DiscGolfPark baskets with White or Gold bands to differentiate on each hole. Good illustrated signage (although a few are missing)

+ Two practice baskets, small clubhouse with a few discs for sale

+ Special recognition goes to three holes where efforts were made to make the disc golf a bit more interesting: #2 tee placement puts a little more right-to-left bend in the hole (especially when playing the White basket). #4 tee placement brings some trees into play that wouldn't affect you from the ball golf tee area. #8 brings a dramatically leaning tree into play, especially guarding the White basket approach

+ Decent distances - not a short putter-only course


Cons:

- The middle of the course is a lot of back-and-forth holes across the same valley (that's typical for converted/combined ball golf courses in my experience)

- All holes are pretty much straight shots, to one side of the golf green or the other. Makes for uninteresting disc golf layout: throw short off the tees and you'll often find yourself in a valley throwing uphill

Other Thoughts:

~ The wide open layout means you'll experience a lot of wind. On the day I played, the gusts were 25+ MPH from the South, hard at my back when I started each round and right in my face on the finishing holes. The back part of the course (#5 - #8) is a bit more protected, but any high throws would be blown over

~ Not a lot of difference between the play of the two sets of baskets. Some whites are a bit longer and the baskets are slightly trickier - but #1 and #9 play much easier White than Gold. So, it's a push

~ Greens fee of $6 is pretty cheap. But if you really resent paying to play, you'll probably feel like this course is a ripoff because the disc part is just pasted on to the existing ball golf layout

~ I played during the first half of the Super Bowl, so the course was almost empty. If there are many ball golfers you're going to have a really slow round, on a pretty dull course. So plan accordingly

Pros:

*Two pin positions at each hole

*There were three holes (3,4,9) that were memorable disc golf holes. They demanded skilled shots off the tee.

*On the gold layout, most of the holes are "driver" holes, and sometimes it's fun to rip a bunch of drives for max distance

Cons:

This course is the opposite of what a "pay to play" course should be and I was disappointed in my round.

*The course is extremely unsafe, with the disc golf course literally playing the exact same layout as the ball golf course. There were multiple times during the round that I was concerned that I was in harm's way.

*The course is not well maintained nor is it in any way scenic. The park is downright ugly and situated in an industrial area next to busy streets. As someone who ball golfs on occasion, this was by far the worst ball golf course ive ever seen.

*The Pro shop staff offered us a tee time a few minutes prior to a league teeing off. When we arrived they did not seem to be expecting us.

*The pro shop advertises this as an 18 hole course but is really only a 9 hole course with two baskets on each hole.

Other Thoughts:

If I was to assign my rating based on my experience at this course, Id give it a 1.5 or a 2.0.

I think that my experience would have been better if our tee time had not conflicted with league play and if the ball golfers on the course had not skipped around the holes. I think the golf is of decent quality, but I dont believe the course managers are familiar with a lot of the safety and time requirements of disc golf.
