solid but not great 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 25, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is short and quick. If you are looking for a couple of quick solid rounds come here. At this course you are able to practice on throwing your putter 150+ feet because you really only need a putter for this course, possibly a mid-range. This course has a lot of possibilities for aces.

Cons:

The course is possibly too short. Also in fall and in winter it is very possible to lose track of a disc due to the woods.

Other Thoughts:

I really like this course for a quick fix when i get the urge to play disc golf. Hole 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 are all possibilities for aces. If you are looking for a hard course this is not it but if you are looking for an easy confidence builder this is it.

Nice little course... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 15, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The terrain of the course is great...lots of shot variety. Course plays along the side of a huge hill, several up-hill, several down hill, nothing to terribly complicated, but lots of pretty shots...some real nice trees provide shade throughout almost the whole course, and there's woods on 4 of the 9 holes..

Cons:

-The tee pads, or lack thereof. They consistently get washed out since they are dirt and the rain flows straight down the hill.
-The neighbors, there was a petition to get the course removed entirely because 1 home owner thought that the course patrons were a nuisance and trouble makers, they live along the road at the bottom of the hill in the house closest to basket 5...so steer clear of going over there.
- the vandals/punks...most every tee sign has been vandalized/ripped out of the ground. and there are at least 3 trash cans spread out around the course that are emptied pretty regularly, but people still choose to litter their trash all over the course neither of these are really cons of the coures, more the people who use the course

Other Thoughts:

-this is the course i learned on many years ago, i love this course. i used to be a lifeguard at the old pool there and would go squeeze in a quick round in just my trunks, i've since learned playing barefoot isn't a good idea.
-there's space here for plenty more holes, and it's been proposed several times, always shot down by the Parks & Rec manager, but she was recently fired so talks may be in the works to upgrade this park, it could easily fit another 9+.
-Great course, but it gets abused by the local high school punks who trash the course and ruin the reputation of DG for all of us...i don't live in the state anymore, but i've got friends who frequent this place and tell me the condition of the course. PARKWAY SOUTH KIDS, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS COURSE, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE IT'S YOUR BACKYARD!
