Pros:
- decent color tee signs
- concrete tees
- decent quality baskets
- well maintained with some minimal elevation change
- course designers seem to have tried to make good use of the space available
Cons:
- HUGE safety hazards: 4 holes share tees with walking path and throw over it, another throws across path
- no navigation aids, but fairly straightforward
- near school/playground which can lead to lots of traffic in park on school days in particular
- course finishes far from parking lot
- no real additional amenities
- risk of throwing disc into quarry over posted fence on several holes
Other Thoughts:
Quarry View DGC is aptly named; you play right along the private quarry boundary and will want to make sure you don't throw over the fence. There's clearly been some retrievals but it wouldn't be that fun. While the quarry certainly isn't the most scenic disc golf view I've had, the course is otherwise well maintained and the park seems well kept by Algonquin.
The major con here is the safety hazards. I understand the course designers were probably trying to save money on concrete tees, but having 4 of the 9 holes throw from the walking path is just a poor, poor design. 4, 6, 7, and 8 throw from the walking path, and 3 throws over the walking path perpendicular to it. Some of the throws have blind turns too, and with schoolchildren and walkers/joggers around, someone is bound to get nailed.
The course is otherwise fun enough, with some good minor hills and obstacles for a suburban course. I think the course designers did a pretty good job of using the space available with the exception of the safety hazards. There is one extremely short hole (3, which is barely 150') but the rest of the course is a reasonable length. I think beginners would enjoy this course but intermediate players can also have a fun round here. I'd probably try to come early in the morning when it's less likely people will be out if it were me.
There's nothing extremely unique about this course but I do think it's fun enough to be worth a visit if you're in the area. The tee signs are decent, but the baskets and concrete tees are all in great shape and Quarry View makes for a fun, quick round with a small challenge.
