PV Course Review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 12, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The wooded holes on this course make it worth playing. I don't like the open holes as much because they are long (and I'm still new to the game) and the wind can really whip off of the lake. But the wooded holes are some of the most fun I've played.

The course is well maintained and very challenging for any level of player. It gave the pros all they wanted in a tournament I watched out there a few weeks ago.

Cons:

HARD! There are some crazy long holes at PV and some very unforgiving holes. I lost my L64 River out there the last time I played. All it takes is one bad shot and your buying new plastic.

Other Thoughts:

I think I will enjoy this course even more as I get better. It's a great layout.

Variety, Water, Awesomeness 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 8, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Long course, requires good mix of touch shots, big hucks, technical skills and ballsy shots near water. Water everywhere, love the way that changes some holes. This course will get your blood pressure up and make you better the more you play it. Clean, easy to follow and so much fun to play. Good pads and baskets and seems to be maintained very well.

Cons:

Water everywhere, will frustrate beginners. Long course, you'll need quite the arm to go low.

Other Thoughts:

This course feels unlike any other I've played, really loved it.

Great course. Challenging. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Long 18 hole course.
Multiple playing terrains, I.e. Flat, wooded, slightly elevated, water holes, bushes, etc.

Cons:

Hole 3 is VERY close to the water and its wooded. It would be nice if the basket was moved to the left away from the water. Still a challenging shot by having to go through the trees, but not as much of a risk for smdoscs going in the water. Myself and my brother each lost a disc on that hole from our discs hitting a tree and bouncing in the water.

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoyed playing this course. I came from out of State and found this course on DGcoursereview. Wonderful time playing this course. Very challenging!

Unique 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 27, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Large course map at hole one.
+ Concrete tee pads.
+ Discatcher baskets.
+ Very nice tee signs at each hole.
+ Course navigation is a breeze. So easy you don't need a map.
+ Beautifully manicured turf. Maybe the nicest turf I have ever played on.
+ A serious disc golf course with only DG traffic.
+ 9 Wooded holes and 9 open.
+ Many of the open holes play along waters edge for unnerving drives and beautiful views. I would pack at least 2 water discs.
+ After playing 9 Wooded holes one is treated to a 600 ft bomber hole which helps release some of the built up tension .
+ Easy access from Interstate for road trip disc golfers.
+ Friendly disc golf atmosphere.

Cons:

- No bathroom or water on course.
- Walk from parking lot to hole one is about 200 yds .
- Course does not loop back during round so pack for 18 holes.
- Open holes are a little left hand bias.
- Not many bomber holes.
- Busy parking lot shared with boat ramp traffic.

Other Thoughts:

Pleasant View DGC is a very Unique course. I have never really played anything like it. It almost seems like one is playing on a island. You cross a long walking bridge over water then the fun begins and ends at that point. This course is stunning well maintained. The turf was cut as nice as any well maintained ball golf course. Needless to say it was very impressive. I believe this course is a must play for the true disc golf enthusiast. Moreover, a short distance away is another quality disc golf course called Old Post DGC. Old Post is less technical with a few more bomber holes and the two courses complement each other very well. These two courses will definitely become a disc golf destination for me from KC. When talking disc golf courses Russellville, AR has got it going on.

very solid course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 28, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good tee pads
Good design
Good baskets
Well cared for
Nice mix of woods and open holes
holes

Cons:

Could use better facilities
Theres one hole that is just 700 in a wide open field. Distance for the sake of distance is dumb.

Other Thoughts:

I really like this course. Another reviewer said Old Post was "hands down" better. I disagree, i liked this course better. I didnt think the woods holes were luck, i birdied most of them.

If you are passing through on I40 do yourself a favor and stop for 4 hours and play this course and old post. They're both great.

Really Fun and challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 23, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Very nice concrete teepads
- Nice and accurate teesigns
- Beautiful park with outstanding views
- Easy to get to because it is pretty much right off the freeway
- Lots of different shots which add a big challenge (some holes are straight no obstacles, some holes are short and technical through the woods, and some are doglegs that are somewhat open
- Thick brush and disc eating trees do not exist on this course
- Great usage of the land
- Navigation was very easy. not hard to find tee
- The grass is mowed really well year round
- Benchs on few holes

Cons:

- Pretty easy to lose a disc in the water that comes into play on lots of the holes. The water is so deep that it is pretty much a dream to get it back making these not so begginer friendly.
- No bathroom on site
- It seemed like there were more dogleg rights than there were left. This adds a challenge for RHBH or LHFH but is kinda annoying.

Other Thoughts:

This course is truly phenomenal. I love this course. Russellville, Arkansas is home to two 18 hole top notch courses that rank in my top 5. This course has lots of challenges which makes it really fun. I love this course! If you are in the area, play this course! You wont be dissapointed!

Quite a bit overrated 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 26, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Excellent concrete pads, a variety of distances, not much walking in between holes. A couple of holes that require a good drive and a good upshot.

Very balanced between wooded and open holes.

Cons:

Way too many straight shots. Doesn't exactly feel like the same shot over and over but the only difference in many holes is if they're short and straight or long and straight, or medium and straight? Did I mention how straight these holes are? Because they're straight. Why not have a turnover, or a hyzer shot? Ever hear of placing a tee or basket on the side of the hole?

Some of the woods holes are more luck than skill.

A little elevation change here and there but mostly flat.

A long walk from the parking lot to the course, and no water fountains in the park.

Other Thoughts:

It's a decent course but nothing spectacular. No way is this a 4.00...way too many homer reviews for this one...it's the Pendleton King of Arkansas I guess. Compared to Old Post five miles away, it's an easy choice if you can play only one in Russellville and that would be Old Post, hands down. I would drive a hundred miles out of my way to play Old Post and wouldn't even bother to play this one if I did.

Pros:

Organized, easy to navigate, updated equipment (baskets and concrete tees). Nice mixture of holes in the wooded areas and open areas, nice change in distances throughout. Scenic, very nicely located along Lake Dardanelle.

Cons:

Easy to lose a disc here. Bugs during certain times of the year. Could use water fountains.

Other Thoughts:

Love this course! Take some bug spray and a water bottle on a nice day, and you cannot complain!

Pros:

Visible pins, easily navigated, there's a box on the first tee that has scorecards in it, equal mix of open and wooded holes, it's on its on island, more people go to the other Russellville course so you can kind of have your own disc gold course island.

Cons:

Tons of places to lose a disc, certain wood holes have zero lanes to drive, swarms of dragonflies and awnry geese

Home Field 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 23, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great 18 hole course, has nice signs and great obstacles. I love how the course from open to the woods back into the open. Long holes as well as short.

Cons:

I do wish the city would put in bathrooms and a fountain for water. I noticed a sign that says that the City Matienence ends right before the park, maybe thats why? I could say water, but how is that a Con, honestly? It is part of the game, I believe if you play on this course long enough, you know what you can and can't do. Just aways be safe...

Other Thoughts:

I love this place, it is the first course I ever played on considering I live 3 miles away...

Awesome Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 22, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is great. Lot's of challenging holes. There's a good mix of short and long shots. This course is a true disc golf course. That is the only use of the area so no need to worry about playgrounds, joggers, ect. Tons of wildlife and great signs, baskets, tee pads.

Cons:

The city won't put in bathrooms, water, ect. Hole 10's sign says it's a par 4 but is only 300 feet and straight ahead. Any "cons" are really just nitpicking at a great course.

Other Thoughts:

The most legitimate, best course in the state in my opinion. Everyone worries about the water so bring discs that are easily replaced.

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 25, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Play probably 4-5 times a week. Has made me a better player with learning different types of shots and throws. Love playing it even with the risk of losing a disc.

Cons:

Water, mainly on hole one and three. Have hit a tree before and it shoots out the wrong way and is just gone on 3rd hole. Wish there were a couple more benches out there to sit and rest on.

Other Thoughts:

Never really have to worry about getting in anybodies way except on the first hole (18th coming back at you) and on the 10th (11th tee to the left if you have a bad first throw). Love going out and playing the course.

A great course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 27, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Wow I was so surprised when I got here. easy to find course. The holes are laid out so well. Nice mix of open shot with and wooded holes that are very technical. The grass is moed so nice just like something out of a magazine. Find your way around will be no problem there is a course map as soon as you start hole one. Plus the sign are placed so that you will be able to find the next hole.

Cons:

It can be really hot in the summer time. Not access to water or a bathroom. If you lose a disc in the main channel it is most likely gone for good it is deep. If you lose it next to a brushy part of the waters edge be mindful of snakes.

Other Thoughts:

One of the best courses I have ever played. I would love to be closer to this park. If you have any question feel free to send me a message.

Just Wonderful! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 2, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has so much to offer and in a wonderful setting. It is set up for any kind of player and very well laid out. From start to finish there are no confusing "where is the basket" holes or thick thick trees and brush to battle. Some one took their time and took great used of the land!

Tee pads are very nice, the signs are great and the pins are clear and easy to find, no blind throws!

Getting to the course is easy as well, A nice sign points the way from the road.

Cons:

Some of the holes are by the water and could easily go in. Deep water makes getting your disc back next to imposable, but if you play it safe, I would not worry about it!, No bathrooms as of yet, and in the summer there could be some boats running though at the ski park, but its better than a Highway!

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course, after driving 2 hours from Hot Springs, I was pleasantly surprised and loved every second on the course. There was 2 inches of snow at the time but my girl and I loved it. The setting could not be any better, nice over looks on the water, the woods were nice and clear, so you could see the little critters running and flying around. A great Sunday afternoon course.

Pros:

A tough and challenging course. Technical shots are required on most every hole. (You have to pick your flight path and landing place for most every shot.)

Excellent signs.

Cons:

The only real con is the lack of amenities. (Bag hangers, benches and trash cans.)

Other Thoughts:

I played this course with a newb who had only played once. He learned the meaning of real disc golf on this course. We both had a blast even though my favorite driver is now at the bottom of the lake. I highly recommend this course.

What a Course to cut your teeth on 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

* Variety of hole types should keep a match even with players using different styles.

*Good mixture of short wooded holes and booming open holes.

* Beautiful layout. You can tell a lot of thought was put into course design.

Cons:

* Water, water, everywhere...

* Some of the wooded holes just do not have a very good line of sight to basket.

* 522' Par 3 with line of trees on one side andwater on the other

* Eats discs for breakfast.

Other Thoughts:

This is my home course, and it is a rough place to learn to play. The course plays with your head. You feel like you have to be conservative on a lot of hole for fear of losing a disc. It does make me a better player though. Despite all of this I really do love this course for the challenge, and I invite all to come see it.
