Nice Park - Worth a Visit 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 22, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The park is very attractive and relaxing with a nice view of the water. Thus far there aren't other activities in the park, so there are no issues with pedestrian traffic on the course.

The tees are great, the signs are the best in the business, there are no safety issues, no flow problems, and the navigation is very easy.

Schule is minimal and there's almost no chance of losing a disc.

For a fairly new course, it is drawing a good amount of play and appeals to a range of ages and skill levels.

Cons:

The park gets pretty swampy/buggy during rainy times.

Most of the holes are fairly average in character. There's a lot of untapped potential on that land. I understand that room has been saved for another nine that may be constructed at some point in the future, but it seems that a more interesting layout could have been designed while still leaving room for more holes.

I don't fault the designer for creating the two sets of tees for the red and white level, but I think there could also have been blue and gold tees designed, even if they were only natural. It does not appear that there is room on most of the holes to add these at some point in the future.

Other Thoughts:

This is my "home" course and I play it frequently. It's a very good place to practice during the day when the park's usually empty. It is a very nice, relaxing place to play and a welcoming introduction to the sport for new players.

Note: I automatically deduct .5 points from 9 hole courses. If another 9 of comparable quality goes in this park, the review will go up to a 3/5.

Remember: Don't be a dirty disc golfer. If you pack it in, pack it out!
