The OTHER Riverside Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good course to play for mid-range.
- A lot of water hazards, so its challenging.
- Its a nice course to warm up on before north and provides a great place for practice even if there are no baskets.
- Trees (somewhat like Brewer Blue) offer the chance to work on hyzers and anhyzers.
- Water is easier to find your discs in.

Cons:

- No terrain challenge (up and down; hills = none)
- No baskets, only poles.
- Some missing tees and posts. (you will have to just wing it, but it works)

Other Thoughts:

Overall a good course, better than some of the simpler courses, but rating is due to no baskets, some tees missing and the overall challenge.

Riverside (south) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 8, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice course to warm up on before playing the north course or to cool down with after playing the north course. Not a long course so you can easily reach most of the holes in the posted par. (i think the posted par is for when they actually used frisbees.) you can work on your short game and control with the water hazards nearby on some of the holes. hardly anyone on the course so can play quickly if the walking path you shoot a lot of shots back and forth over isn't too busy.

Cons:

missing tees, posts and complete holes. but you can make you your own tee or post for those. Could use some upkeep.

Other Thoughts:

All in all its a nice little course to play for a change of pace. a lot of people i talk to don't even realize that this course even exists here. most only know about the basket course on the north side of the park.

Could be fixed up. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 24, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Fun to play after you finish up the basket course. the first 8 holes arent very fun, but once you play those, the last 8 or so are fun, and you need to use alot of diffrent shots

Cons:

Not marked good, missing poles,signs, no tee's, could be fixed up.

Other Thoughts:

i think it would be nice if the city would fix it up a little, or even add baskets in and make it a second course, it would defently make more players want to come to riverside.
