Maybe it used to be better? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 2, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

The baskets are 28-chain Innova DISCatchers. Holes 1-3 have some large mature trees to shot shape around. Hole 2 has some bushes behind the basket to penalize shots that overshoot the green. There is a practice basket.

It's a good place to practice, and it gives disc golf a foothold in another rural town. And it's right next to the high (?) school, so it gives older kids good, after-school access to disc golf.

Aside from that, the only other pro I really see is its proximity to other adjacent amenities like the town swimming pool, a playground, and a picnic shelter.

Cons:

Hole 3's basket is missing and the tray is halfway fallen off another basket (I don't specifically remember which one it was - the practice basket or #7 maybe?).

Even using UDisc, I had a terrible time navigating this place. Don't get me wrong, you're not going to get lost; it's just that you can see most of the baskets at one time which (combined with 3's missing basket) gave me a heck of a time trying to figure out where to throw from and which basket to throw to. To add on to that, there's also an 18 hole gold layout (or used to be anyway), so a bunch of the baskets have like 2 or 3 different hole numbers on them. I found a tee marker for #4, but if any of the other holes had them, I was never able to find them.

After the first couple holes, the rest are just wide-open and boring.

Safety issues throwing next to a picnic shelter, the swimming pool, parking lot, over other holes' fairways, etc.

Other Thoughts:

If you live in (or just outside) Rossville, this place is better than nothing, at least. Aside from that, in my opinion, only dedicated course-baggers should consider playing here. Even if you do manage to figure out the flow of the course better than I did, it's mainly just open, boring holes (which is why I believe it's not worth it to go out of your way to play here unless you need it for your course count).
