As a longtime DCR reviewer, I was quite excited to finally bag my FIRST North Dakota course. I carefully chose Optimists DGC because it has a great on-line map, very detailed and looking easy to follow and secondly, almost every hole has a shorter pad, just perfect for my game.

So I find the kiosk behind the bandstand but I only find one tee pad. And I don't see the # 1 basket. The tee pad aims left of the fighter jet memorial thing. The only basket I see in that direction is far right of jet and naturally, there is no number on it.

Point of reference here before I continue. The concrete tee pads are wonderful. They're 16 long. They're great but they don't have a number in them. The Discatcher baskets are great with the yellow bands. But they don't have a hole number on them. The tee sign poles are great. They're like 8 feet tall and stout as can be. But they don't have a tee sign on them. The park itself is lovely, green, hilly, perfect for a disc golf course (except for the cactus plants) imbedded in the grass.

Continuing on from hole 1. I think I find the two tee pads for # 2 but the basket is way farther away. Same with 3-4-5. Nothing adds up. Also, someone has spray painted arrows and numbers everywhere. I think the arrows are going in a different direction than me. I finally play back up the hill to the jet and I reread the info on the kiosk. I see it says, to get the updated course, download the Udisc app. I have the Udisc App and still couldn't find a map. §¥£& ME! At this point, I call off the jam. I'm finished with this abortion of a course. I might be finished with. North Dakota!

No signs anywhere.

No numbers on the baskets.

Tee pads that don't point at the baskets.

Tee pads that are now wasted.

On line map is obsolete.

It's too bad as this is really a nice park for a course. What does the parks department think when they see all these wonderful concrete pads which now don't make any sense? How about when they see all these giant tee sign poles sticking with no signs on them? This is a case where someone wanted to make the course more challenging but didn't think it through. Why, when I attempted to tackle this course on an absolutely perfect September Saturday at 5 PM, did I have the entire course to myself?

I hope this isn't some kind of Udisc versus DGCR thing because we are in this sport for the same reasons and should be able to work together for the benefit of all disc golfers. When the map on DGCR is totally obsolete and the only app that is current is on Udisc, I think we have an issue. Let's get the old map off and get the updated version on our site.

The park has long, trapezoidal tee pads that give you the opportunity to use the word "trapezoidal" during your X-step. There is a pretty good mix of distances, with many shorter holes but a few that require a solid drive and accurate upshot.
The course uses the trees it has, forcing certain lines when possible.

It appears the course is undergoing a re-design. Many holes seemed to have multiple tee pads, and some had "No" scrawled on them in chalk while others said "Yes," apparently indicating which one you ought to be using under the new configuration. Navigation was a little confusing (although it's not a huge park), and I nearly missed the last two holes.
Not a lot of memorable shots here.

My parents were walking at Rocky Butte Park across the street, and I went over to meet them and wondered why there wasn't a course there, given the great elevation and abundance of trees. Then I came across a couple baskets! But I never did see any sign of tees, even natural ones. I was pretty bummed because this would have been a very fun place to play a round (I guess I could have made up my own course). If you are a local, please PM me. I'd love to know the story.
