One fun downhill throw on 3.
Picturesque.
Generous pars if you like tracking your score in relation to par.
Good signage and easy to navigate.

A horrible sodden mess if it's rained recently.
All out and no back, so after you play the half a hole that is hole 9, enjoy the long walk back to your car.
Tees are terrible, just sunken holes in the ground.

If this was an Eagle Scout project, then it's time to hit up the local chapter for some maintenance. Hole 2 basket is missing. It's pretty clear that the people who designed this don't play a lot of disc golf. Most of the holes are extremely susceptible to rollaways, so I hope you can putt. On 9, a rollaway goes 100 feet into the brush. On 2... well, just follow your disc 400 feet into the parking lot below and leave. Seriously, who wants a basket in a sidehill location at the top of a massive hill?

Don't throw long and right on 3, the old man who lives there is not friendly.

For a casual park 9 holer, Old Economy has a nice mix of distances, with some short par 3s, three holes over 300', and an additional two holes over 400'. Getting to stretch out and throw some distance drivers was a nice surprise, and there are opportunities to reach for a range of other discs off the tee, too.

There are a variety of hole types, with mixed levels of woodedness and elevation, although the tendency is towards more open shots. Shot variety is decent, and even the multiple straight holes come in different flavors. 4 is an enjoyably technical tunnel shot that makes for a tough three, and 5 challenges your placement nicely with a combination of sloping terrain, OB, and the tree line. The rolling hills throughout the course spice up some otherwise-conventional shots, and there are a few enjoyably-scary hillside pin placements.

Parking is plentiful. The course is easy to find within the park, and navigation is straightforward. Grooming seems regularly upkept. A nice, sizable, and clean portapotty is on site.

Old Economy Park is a pretty basic course, with several very open holes and an overall lack of line shaping. 4 is pretty much the only technical hole. There's a bombs away feel to several holes due to the lack of obstacles, and a few others that come close to that sense as long as you manage to steer within a very generous lane. The replay factor is pretty nil if you don't live in the neighborhood, IMHO. There are just too many other great courses nearby.

The tees are really terrible: ruts in the ground filled with wood chips that make for poor footing, and dug low enough and short enough to risk turning an ankle or the like if you step long (very possible). I didn't use them.

Old Economy has the worst in and out I've ever seen. The holes play progressively away from hole 1, leaving you a walk back that could rival the duration of your round. I'm not one to complain about such things generally, but here it was really poor. You'll regret this design choice on a hot summer day.

Old Economy Park's disc golf course has some fun distance, but otherwise not much to really draw you back there. It makes for a nice quick stop if you're visiting Knob Hill or Linbrook, but should be pretty low on the priority list when visiting the area.

Easy to navigate, even w/o a map, as tee signs show where the next tee is.

Single tee/basket. Natural, somewhat-level tee locations becoming rutted/filled with weeds. Long walk back from basket-9 to parking lot.

Initially plays on an open hillside then in wood-lined open-space in a moderate-sized public park. Elevation change on most holes but the final two, which require good-n-straight touch shots. Fairly open, although #4 has you throwing between two rows of trees early, and #8 pinches you late at the basket.

Navigation: The first three holes play across, up/across, then down a large, open, grassy hillside. Cross the street tee to find tee-4, and all remaining holes pretty much play in a linear direction, away from the parking lot. Tee-7's sign was uprooted - it is down and left from basket-6.

An okay change-of-pace to nearby Knob Hill and Two Mile Run Extension if planning to play in the area.

All tees and holes are clearly labeled, detailed signs at each tee. Good usage of the changes in elevation and limited foliage. There actually are a good variety of holes, and the course progresses from the easiest through the more challenging ones.

While the holes themselves are good (with the exception of #2, which plays too close to a roadway), the overall layout of the course is poor: there is an extremely long walk from number nine to number one. Some people compensate for this by playing nine holes forward followed by nine backward to make eighteen.

It is the good beginning of a course, and I'd love to see it expanded to a full 18; there seems to be the land for it. If that happens this may grow into a nice compliment to nearby Knob Hill. Right now however, it's just passable.
