Pinpoint accuracy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 11, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Summary: This course is relatively short, Great design, challenging NARROW wooded fairways requiring pinpoint accuracy. Nice use of considerable elevation changes.

Very creative and exciting course. Each hole is different and presents you with unique problems. If you pride yourself on shaping a midrange or fairway driver and hitting 12' gaps that are sometimes 60 to 160 feet away then this is the place for you. Nice feature: Most holes indicate that there can be a second pin location. Tees are concrete and fairly level.

The area is scenic and beautiful. Great parking right next to the 1st tee. There are a few little streams and puddles here and there throughout so waterproof shoes would be recommended especially in March.

Cons:

I played this course on a disc golf road trip and it was the last course the six of us played. One frustration was that most baskets are not readily visible from the tee and the sign gave no indication which basket location was in use. We had to waste time walking most of the fairways to find the basket location.

Not a great beginner course. Fairways and landing areas are very narrow and the surrounding forest is thickly populated with trees.

This course has every shape of narrow wooded hole imaginable which is cool. However, two or three more restful open holes would add interest and relief.

Other Thoughts:

Overall an enjoyable course and worth the time for any intermediate to advanced placement player.

Pros:

New everything. Good cardio round as course rolls throughout park. Nice tee pads. Good use of park roads and trails. You'll use a lot of shots through your round..

Cons:

Needs trash cans. Water spiket on #1 works but,not fountain. #18 to #1 a bit far away. NEED directional signs!

Other Thoughts:

Course will thin out as it gets more play.

Maybe a bit too tight 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 26, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is located in a nice little park and plays up and down a hillside through the woods. In general it is a deuce or die style course with several holes in the 250' and under range. If you are really dialed in you could walk away with several birdies making this a pretty fun course to play. You really get to work on some shorter controlled throws that will serve you well as you travel to other courses and need to really nail an upshot. Concrete tee pads are nice and a good size. The signs are clear and the distances posted seem to be fairly accurate. Overall I enjoyed my trip to Reservoir Park and I plan on being back when I come back to town.

Cons:

Primary con is that some holes are a little too tight. Not always a very clear line with trees in the middle of the fairways on several holes. I found myself getting birdies on some bad shots and taking pars or bogeys on some pretty good shots. Any time that the lines that you are trying to hit are only a few feet wide, I find that luck plays too large a role in scoring and this course did fit that bill. A couple places that I had a hard time navigating (particularly after hole 9) and finding the next hole and several blind baskets meant that you will be doing a little bit of extra walking up and down the fairways than you want. I couldn't find a map online or at the course, but that could help solve that issue.

Other Thoughts:

A couple things (map, benches, next tee signs) could improve this course, but overall it is a fun course to play on a nice piece of land. The fresh smell of the pine forest as I enjoyed my walk on a beautiful sunny day really reminded me why I play disc golf. Go out and enjoy the nice natural environment on a fun course.
