Nice Course Within Walking Distance 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 13, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Within walking distance.
- Well maintained.
- Within city limits.
- Not much obstacles.
- Short course that can be played multiple times in a day.
- In a nice, quite park compared to its predecessor, Graham Park.
- Great for beginners.
- Fairly open with not much obstacles.

Cons:

- Some areas where there's newly installed pipelines and tracks with no grass could be annoying with mud on damp/rainy days. However, not a long-term ordeal as those areas will be covered with grass eventually.
- Course number polls installed into holes with no concrete to secure them and could be easily taken out; possible vandal target.
- Not quite as challenging.

Other Thoughts:

This course was recently created and is located within walking distance from my parents' house. So if I don't feel like traveling to the Swan Lake DGC by vehicle, I can just take a nice, quick walk over to the Rolling Hills Park DGC whenever I visit the parents.

This was the first time playing the course and the first time playing some disc golf in a couple years - so this was a good course to get back into the sport. Speaking of getting back into the sport, this course would be a great beginner's course for those who'd want to get into the game of disc golf.

Anyways, I played on the day where the course was still damp a day after rain came through. There were areas of the course/park where the town installed some new pipelines, so you'd see some tire tracks, dirt mounds and areas where the pipelines are located - and with the rain that came through the day before, those areas were muddy, so was a little annoying to walk through, avoiding getting shoes muddy, as well as getting some of your discs muddy when they land in those areas. However, it won't be a long-term ordeal, as those areas will eventually be covered with grass soon.

The course is pretty open with not much trees, any obstacles in the way and flat compared to the Swan Lake DGC. So like I mentioned earlier, it's a great course for beginners that want to get into disc golf.

Overall, I'll definitely be playing this course a lot more often as it's a walking distance from the parents' house, along with the Swan Lake DGC as that's another great course in Carroll.
