Good beginers course 2+ years

Played the course:once
Pros:
+ a short and simple layout in a nice neighborhood
Cons:
- The teepad on #2 faces the wrong way (across the field). Look to your left: it's a hyzer shot along the trees.
Other Thoughts:
~ I played once just because I wanted to check it out. If I lived closer I might use it for practice, or bring a beginner to introduce them to the game.
~ I love neighborhood courses and scout projects. They generally don't make for great courses, but they're a great way to introduce people to the game.

I Could Give It A Five! 2+ years

Pros:
That means it has five baskets, five signs and five tee pads. Olde Towne Park is the park in Branchburg, New Jersey where every word has to end with an "E". This mid-sized community parke has basketballe courts, a playgrounde, hockey rinks and a ballfielde in the middle. And I'm going to quit trying to put an "E" at the end of every word as it is driving my spellcheck crazy.
The course begins over behind the ballfield's backstop. The amenities are pretty simple. There is a Disc Golf rules sign at the start. The tee signs are short little 6" red poles with a house number on the top. There is a front board, also painted red with a natural pad behind. Evidentially this course gets enough use that the natural tee pads are a bit muddy in places. The baskets are nice Mach II models complete with a number in the middle.
The course plays at a recreational level with the holes all playing between 200' and 250'. # 2 forces you to throw a little hyser. # 3 basket is hiding on the far side of a grove of trees and # 4 has a branch down just in front of the tee.
The little five hole course does basically loop you back to the parking lot.

Cons:
Other than only have five holes and being recreational in length and challenge and having natural tee pads, I do have a couple of other concerns such as:
The # 2 tee pad faces across the field while the hole is actually a hyser around the trees.
The area around the # 3 basket was quite soggy here in late April.
The # 3 basket is leaning.

Other Thoughts:
This is not the worst course in Jersey. It's actually a decent little recreational course with a couple of fun little throws. I'd come and here if I lived close. There was actually one other fool playing today in 45 degree weather and blustery, windy conditions making the wind chill temperature about 25. My excuse was I was bagging a course. His excuse? I don't have a clue!
