Ryan Creek DGC is 9 holes, all par 3. Tee signs by the natural tee boxes, and DISCatchers to cap each hole. I parked next to the Bar and Grill across the street, but a grocery store parking lot is on the other end of the trail near hole 3 tee and 4 basket.

The course is heavily wooded and there is underbrush that gets pretty tall. Holes are short, and 3 play over the water. Mild elevation change on the water holes.

The layout is cramped but has some variety of throws. Rights, lefts, up and down, on a limited basis. Hole 5 and 6 were a little dicey. 5 was downhill across the water and bridge, with a little right to left. The basket does have a fence to the left, you don't want to miss high and wide. 6 is back up across the water, with a narrow window in front of the basket. I liked hole 7, a mid distance corridor that bends steadily to the right all the way to the basket.

Short, and the layout crosses over and backtracks at times. It is 9 holes stuck into a small space in between parking lots and avenues with a pedestrian trail. Litter strewn all along the path. I never found a sign for hole 9, and kind of guessed where to tee off.

I don't know if the water is Ryan Creek or a pond from stormwater drainage. It doesn't seem to flow anywhere and is dry at one end. I wouldn't go in after a disc.

I hit this one as kind of another notch on the belt. Had limited time on this trip and had a chance to get double digit courses in Alaska by playing this one. It ranked 10th out of 10 for sure.

It did have really good signage (except 9) and baskets, including a nice course map. Not hitting trees is the big challenge here, especially around the water. Losing a disc in the tall weeds is also very possible. Not a lot of mowing or weed whacking go on as far as I could see.

I shot a 25 (-2), on three birdies and a bogey. 7 was the hole that I couldn't make par. 1, 4 and 5 were the victories for me. Had putts for birdies on three other holes that I couldn't convert.

- Free to play
- Free Grocery store parking
- Conveniently located for quick rounds
- Course map at park entrance
- Tee signs with basket orientations and distances
- Brightly visible baskets in decent condition
- Ace runs!

- Short short 9, not a lot of versatility
- Walking trail goes straight through the course
- Natural unmarked tee pads
- Tee signs were laminated paper sheets of paper stapled to posts
- Tee post & sign for 9 is missing
- Back side of course is prone to flooding with runoff from the road and parking lot
- Errant throws can land in a busy roadway of over fencing
- No real fairways

This is a very short pitch-n-putt type course. I'm not really sure what the name of the course is, there seems to be some conflict between the signage. The course itself is boxed in between a grocery store parking lot, apartment parking lot, a building, and busy roadway. There is a 2 car parking space at hole one, but the parking lot of Carrs/Safeway grocery store is probably the easiest to use.

It's actually a decent course layout for the land available. I could see it being a great place to kill time while someone else is shopping, but that's about it. I'd much rather throw Kenai Eagle than Bernie/Ryan trail/creek if I'm in the area.

Close to town.
Quick little course you can play on a lunch break.
Within walking distance to Airport. (I catch a round occasionally while I wait for a flight)
Good variety of shot types, in a fairly tight wooded area. Water hazard shot. Moose hazard shots.

On walking paths.
Water hazard is a disc eater.
No holes to stretch your arm on..(short and tight)

I enjoyed playing here. Can't complain about any course in Alaska since there are not many to choose from. Not worth a road trip but, should give it a play if you are in town, or if you are going to play Kenai Eagle DGC.
