Plummer DGC

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-- No. 6 (No. 2 on the main 9) is a good hole, 350 feet with the first 300 being semi-open before reaching the basket in a large stand of trees, making your approach line crucial if you don't have 350 power off the tee; I don't. No. 9 (No. 5 on the main 9) is also good. It's 260 feet with a line of small trees about 50 feet in front of the tee. The width of the gaps between the trees varies, but none of them are wider than 12 feet. No. 12 (No. 8 on the main) is similar to No. 2, but it's a little shorter and has a narrow direct line to the basket in the trees.
-- Tee signs are basic but functional. They have hole number, distance and par but no map. Since you can see the basket from every tee, it's not a big deal. However, the signs indicate this is two courses, with the shorter holes by the playground numbered 1-4. On the main 9, the holes are numbered 1-9.
-- Navigation is fairly simple. You've got a somewhat long walk from the playground holes to the main 9 (and that walk in reverse when you finish), but you probably drove past those holes on the way in, so you know where they are.
-- Counting all 13 holes, you've got good distance variation on a mostly short course: Five holes shorter than 225 feet, and four are longer than 325 feet.
-- Baskets are older DISCatchers. The look as if they have seen better days, but they still seem to catch OK.

Cons:

-- No seating at tees.
-- No map on site.
-- No water.
-- No restrooms.
-- For holes 5-13, the front of the tee is marked by a 4x4 length-wise in the ground. Holes 1-4 have a sign but nothing to mark where the "tee" begins or ends. No. 3 appears to tee from the outside of a walking path, but that puts you right up against a large bush. The tee for holes 5-13 are mostly OK, but a few are showing signs of wear; some are pitted and other are rocky, so they are becoming dangerous. No. 9 is the worst one.
-- The No. 9 tee is about 30 feet past the No. 8 basket, so an overthrow could hit someone standing on that tee.

Other Thoughts:

-- All holes are listed as par 3 on this site, but the tee signs clearly list several par 4s.
-- I played the shorter, open holes near the playground first (sort of a warm-up for the main course). Plus those are labeled holes 1-4 on this site. Those four holes offer almost zero challenge. Three of them are shorter than 200 feet, and there are two trees in the part of the course. The challenge does increase, however, as you end that four-hole stretch with a 220-foot uphill throw.

More Than A Pitch & Putt But I’d Still Call It A True Recreational Nine! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 10, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

*****I played Plummer while school was in session so my review is solely on the park nine hole course*****

With a few holes getting up to 330' to 350' I can't call Plummer a pitch and putt. But with few hazards, broad fairways, flatness and recreational pars, it is a fun little rec course.

The course starts up near the school with nine holes playing up and down the wooded area twice. # 9 finishes at the school and close to the start. Then there are the wide open holes 10-13 out on the school's playfield.

The wooded nine has just enough trees to create fairways. Some. Baskets are set in the little groves, while two others have rows of trees guarding the basket. Accuracy helps here but it's not essential as being off the fairway route is not usually a kiss of death. It's a fun course to practice your rollers on.

The signs are simple plastic ones with the basic info. Only one sign showed any sign of vandalism. The tee pads are natural. Most are decent enough to throw from. The baskets are older Discatchers which are kind of dirty looking.

The pars are very forgiving with the four holes over 330' all being par fours.

Cons:

Not playing the four open playfield holes, there isn't much to complain about here. The course is what it is, a simple little recreational nine.

The trees are mostly easy enough to avoid. You can often roll under them.

Concrete pads would be great but so would bikini clad girls serving drinks.

Other Thoughts:

I found Plummer to be an enjoyable, stress free, recreational round, perfect for players just starting or older players on the downhill. It's an excellent course for a quick after work round or a course to grow your game on.

Decent 9 hole? or 13? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

New Course. Well maintained. Good course for practice and new disc tryout. Four holes by playground good for midrange/putter shots and practice. Other nine holes provide a bit of their own challenge.

Cons:

Can become a bit redundant when played multiple times. Dirt teepads (not a con for me). No distance markers, but tee posts.

Other Thoughts:

This is a relatively new course put in to help grow the sport. Four holes on the playground area were built to get kids excited about the sport. From about 60 feet to 200. The other nine holes vary in length and are not just gimme shots. You will have to work to get your good score on this course.
Posts mark the hole and another post in the ground marks the tee boxes. Baskets are easily seen and easy to follow the flow of the course.
I use this course for practice and to tryout new discs because it is very close to me. It is another great addition for Cedar Hill to make four courses. Less challenging than the other three high level courses but a good addition.
