Updated:
Played on:Aug 11, 2022
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Well maintained - regularly mowed and trimmed
Clearly signed, concrete tee decks
Easy to navigate
Hard (impossible?) to lose a disc
Great for beginners and growing the sport
Some shot variety, some low ceilings or gaps to hit, 3 longer holes options over 350'.
Beautiful park, beautiful setting beside the river, plenty of shade on hot sunny days
Parking, washrooms, other amenities nearby like a carousel, concession, playgrounds, ball diamonds, walking trails

Other Thoughts:
This course has maximized the land available to create a very popular course.
Both a good thing and a bad thing, the course backs up with groups on every hole on weekends. It's good to see so many new players getting into the sport, but it comes with a price of slow pace of play.
It really excels as an introductory to amateur layout. I'd give it a 5 as a beginner course, but 4 overall to the greater disc golf community.

Other Thoughts:
Nice little course for playing a quick round, or introducing new people to the sport.
The designers have made good use of the space that they had and the course, although very short, does feature a variety of holes and some basic shot shaping considerations that vary from hole to hole.
The fact that it's in a public park obviously has potential downfalls, but I have no encountered any issues so far and the other park users that I have encountered have been very friendly and interested in learning about disc golf.
I would prefer to see concrete tee pads over the dirt/gravelly ones that are there. The existing tee pads are obvious and well placed, but I feel like after some heavy rain they may be unusable for a few days.
