Northdale Park

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 16, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Northdale Park Disc Golf Course was established on 10/3/2022 as a 9 hole course on 5.8 acres. The course is open to the public to play for free. The baskets are bright red Dynamic Disc Veteran Baskets and the tees are concrete. The course is maintained by the City of Perryville. The course is hilly with mature trees. The tees are unique because the hole number is engraved on the tee. The course is beginner friendly. The layout is easy to follow, with the next tee within close proximity of each basket. The parking spots are close to both the tee for #1 and basket for #9.

Cons:

Due to the size of the park and number of holes, all of the fairways are closer to each other than what would be considered normal distance for most other courses with more acreage. On our game, there were several other players and groups, and there were several times when our discs landed on other fairways interfering with other players, and there were several times when other groups interfered with our game due to their throws landing on the fairway we were playing. There were several times when someone shouted "Four". The fairway for #1 is too close to Old Saint Marys Road. The tee pad and basket are close enough to Old Saint Marys Road that players should expect discs to land in the street any time a throw veers slightly to the right or is blown by wind.

Other Thoughts:

Perryville is located in southeast Missouri. Interstate 55 runs through the city. The 2020 census determined the population of the city to be 8,555. I find that most cities the size of Perryville do not have more than one course. I consider that Perryville has above average options for recreation for a town of it's size. In addition to Northdale Park, there is an 18 hole course a mile away in Perryville Park, there are multiple ball fields in Perryville Park, there is a large civic center with an indoor pool and water slides at Perryville Park, and there is a soccer complex with multiple fields on North Perryville Boulevard. I am of the opinion that Perryville spends more on providing recreation options than most cities of the same size in the State of Missouri.
