Patriot's Park is a really fun and challenging course 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Feb 11, 2017
Played the course:once
Pros:
1. Nice Deep Baskets with large visible numbers on a lot of them
2. Great signs showing the pin positions with distances and par info.
3. Plenty of space, good parking, and bathrooms, near a nice playground.
4. Each hole is unique and has its own set of fun challenges especially the back nine.
5. Includes a Signature hole on 18 where you throw over a pond. Gotta throw your disc a solid 250 ft or more to not lose it.
6. Very scenic.

Cons:
1. The back nine is so densely wooded and the fairways are so narrow that you can rack up strokes in a real hurry.
2. The Tee Markers are just buried cinder blocks or something, so if there are leaves on the ground they can be hard to locate. But the Great signs make up for that. But still not nearly as nice as having regular sized concrete tee boxes.
3. The tee box for hole one is the worst of all, its some sort of shag carpeting that feels like standing on a lumpy pillow.
4. Hole 18 should probably include a tee box at a safer location for beginner players who don't wanna lose there disc. There's a drop zone but you still gotta throw it over the pond with some confidence.

Other Thoughts:
The front nine is nice and open but with plenty of obstacles and rolling hills. Including some longer shots including a par 5 that can be a real Eagle opportunity if you got a big arm.
The back nine is so dense it was near impossible to pitch out of the rough if you veered off the very narrow fairways. But that's what the woods in this part of the country look like and I think having lots of trees on the course is partially what makes disc golf so much more fun than ball golf. I was +1 after the first ten holes the first and only time I've played this course and by the time I was done I was +13. I've never thrown so many pitch out tomahawks in my life. Often having to pitch out twice or more because there was no escaping it. Even threw one Tomahawk off the tee box because the entire hole felt like a pitch out, it was that overgrown and I can't even really throw a tomahawk.
I would recommend: if your not super confident in being able to throw 250+ feet over water with wind that whips around the hills on the shore, bring a cheap replaceable disc along. Or bring several and throw more than one off the tee box for hole 18.
It was absolutely worth the hour long drive if you can round up a couple buddies. Really an enjoyable course takes more than 2 hours to play a reasonable pace.
