For what it is.... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Par 5 to start, technical and blind

Several Mando's that are reasonable and well marked

Par 2?! if that's all the room you have, why not.. Ace runs are still fun golf

Flow is obvious in almost all places, and not difficult when it isnt

Cons:

Sure, a full 18 is always better. Sure, avoiding park amenities would be preferred. But I try to keep in mind that ANY disc golf course is better than NO disc golf course on a given property, and I have personally driven much further for much more disappointing set ups.

Other Thoughts:

I just hate to see a lower than 2 rating on a course that doesn't deserve unwanted hate. No paved pads and shorter holes are not ideal, don't deserve a 5 star rating, but I have played insanely useless courses with trash baskets missing chains, no directional awareness, and simply untechnical lines. This course has had thought, planning, work, and love put into it. I hope anyone who disagrees can take a step back and ask themselves whether or not it is the worst course they have played, or if they personally could have done much better with the limited property. I think small changes could be made to make this a solid 4, but sure, nothing will make it a 5. But there is no good reason to give it anything less than a 2.5 in my opinion, based on my reference points in dodgy parts of town with literally unplayable setups. I wouldn't drive more than 30 minutes to play this course without other things to do in the area, but who does for a 9 hole anyways. Glad to check it off the list
