very technical 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 2, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course has a ton of variety. Within the 18 holes there are dogleg lefts, dogleg rights, uphill, downhill, and perfectly straight holes. Most holes have a tight throwing window. This makes it a great course to practice all of your throws.

The course is usually well maintained and I haven't had too much trouble with discs going into deep brush.

Cons:

Bring your lucky rabbit's foot and maybe say a prayer to the tree gods before each round. I don't think I've made it through one round without banging into a tree within 50' of a tee box. The lanes on a few holes are almost imaginary and require some combination of skill and luck.

Not a lot of variation distance wise.

A few of the tee boxes are not so obvious. Arrows at each basket would be helpful.

Other Thoughts:

If you're interesting in improving your game, I highly recommend this course. If hitting trees ruins your day... maybe go somewhere else.

I always have a good time.

difficult shots, fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 11, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Quite a challenge for all players because of all the different types of shots and tight lines that this course calls for.
Fairly easy to follow the path.

Cons:

You will spend some time searching for discs on this course because of the tight lines and all the trees.

Mosquitos were abundant.

Other Thoughts:

Definitely worth playing if you get the chance.

Review of Reservoir Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 9, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Beautiful and secluded. Skilled players can come here and test their accuracy on this technical course. Although tree's can be considered by some a con, I find them good for shade and great for improving my technical game. Everything is technical, but there are a couple really fun ace-able holes. Benches at almost every hole and the signs/maps are at most holes as well. This course also has a practice basket at the gazebo and that is a plus. Course has so much history that there are always good folks out there and if you are new to the area it is the best/easiest way to meet other local disc golfers and clubs.

Cons:

This is my home course and I assure you it's not a beginners course. Being as secluded as it is, it is often the most "beat up" course. Meaning that when scum bags break stuff they do it here. They often break benches, graffiti baskets/benches/signs, and trash the gazebo at the start of the course. For some reason, every person that gets an ace feels like that makes it ok to graffiti the park. For all around skilled players, you may be a little irritated at the lack of distance. You never really get a chance to let anything fly... it's all technical.

Other Thoughts:

This course has so much history and so many clubs around call this place home. Lot's of great tournaments and there is always little tag matches and sling days going on. One of my favorite courses in Central Arkansas.

pines so fine 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Number one pro for me was the beauty of this pine forest--this is a very new course and the woods are clean and nice looking. I loved that entire woods is blanketed in pine needle mulch and the trees are green year round.

tight, but well defined fairways with good variety of shapes and lengths

great tees

awesome elevation. I absolutely love steep elevation with wooded fairways.

nice signs

seems to have its own pavillion, parking, kiosk area

practice basket

Cons:

no system on signs to mark which location the basket is in. this can be solved quite simply with stickers or painted screws on the signs. it is super annoying to have to walk the fairway to find out the basket position. better to have only one pin positon if there is no way to mark which pin is in use.

all par 3s

Other Thoughts:

this is a new course and a lot of clearing of trees has been done since the first reviews were posted. It is still super tight and a couple holes, could use a few more trees taken out, but I still love it as is. I am sure the rating will go up. This is the must play course in Little Rock in my opinion. I can't wait to play it again.

Tight, Wooded, And Fun! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 21, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Brand new course!
- Nice Concrete tee pads that are wide enough and long enough
- Beautiful pine trees throughout the course
- Brand new DGA Mach 2 baskets
- Lots of elevation. There were holes that were extreme downhill, light downhill, big uphill, slight uphill, and some valley shots. This course uses the land well by usuing the elevation change to make it more challenging.
- Different lengths of holes and every shot is different. There was any kind of hole you could imagine and this course will make you bring out every throw you might have.
- Tee Signs are very accurate

Cons:

- Navigation. After some holes, we spent at least 5 minutes looking for the next teepad.
- Hole 18 ends far away from parking at tee 1
- Lots and Lots of trees. There are no open holes to throw bombs. In some areas, it seems that there are TOO many trees and some need to be taken out.
- On Some of the holes, there isnt a distinct line to the basket
- A few baskets are 10 feet away from the next tee which can be dangerous

Other Thoughts:

Overall, This is an amazing course in my opinion. Lots of challenging shots and great views. This course is very fun to play and is worth your time to play it.

sweet little course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 13, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

- nice tee boxes
- tee signs for all holes
- new baskets
- nice elevation changes
- several good holes

Cons:

- VERY hard to find hole #1, it is up by a pavilion that the road was closed to get to it.
-VERY long walk from hole 18 to hole 1
- One thing this course needs is direction signs to the next hole. I had a hard time on several holes trying to find the next hole. It was no marked on the tee signs or anywhere near the baskets.
- Some of the airways are a little too tight.
- This course is still new so the rough is very rough.

Other Thoughts:

In all this is a very enjoyable course. Most of the holes play a lot longer than the tee signs were marked, mostly because of the tight fairways.

Most of the holes were blind shots, i could not see the baskets from the tee's.

Now if this Texas Disc Golfer could only learn how to not hit a tree on just about every single drive, I could have a lot of fun on this course.

I will be back for more.

A tight, wooded blast to play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 2, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is quite new so there are brand new pads with sod around them and brand new baskets. Also, brand new signs were just installed. It is Little Rock's first true 18 hole course, designed by locals who actually play. This course is a blast to play, it oozes technicality. There are lots of well placed (left) trees to force specific lines and some pre-throw thinking. The course begins in the main park area with a short downhill, a tunnel shot, and then a right dogleg. From there a basket lurks behind a large bush next to the parking lot, then it is into the forest from there. Most of the shots in the forest are quite technical, lots of small tunnels, and some great elevation. Designed by a local player, this course has it all. Up, down, left, right, this place makes you work for it. You will not be let down by this course, it is lots of fun and is teeming with variety. You are likely to run into the designer out there picking up trash and playing with his group.

Cons:

Lots of trees and limbs, might frustrate some. No open bomber holes. Lots of elevation, not an easy walk if you tire easily. Some hikers also use the trail and can be quite oblivious to the game. Water fountain at pad 1 is not functional. It is easy to lose a disc if you leave the fairway.

Other Thoughts:

Park by the softball field as this is where you will finish. Once you park, walk right up the street and take a left up the hill. Pad 1 is by the pavillion and plays down the hill. Until some arrows get put up, the course is tricky to navigate in a couple areas. Please pick up your trash and take out your butts as someone has already set the course on fire. Nearby residents are not wild about the course yet, so please be courteous.

*There is a working water source by the pavilion.

*benches are now on some holes and the some of the very rough has been managed with more planned.

*alternate pin positions have been installed on multiple holes
