It's a 9 hole course

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 27, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Easy navigation for the most part
- Older DGA baskets look like they are in good shape
- Concrete tee pads
- Manicured grass perfect for rollers
- Ace runs perfect for newer players "family friendly"

Cons:

- Short holes
- Few obstacles
- A good amount of other park users in the way
- Heavily favors RHBH and LHFH players
- Screaming children everywhere

Other Thoughts:

This is a decently sized park that has multiple playgrounds in the middle of it while the disc golf plays around the outside of the park. It also borders an elementary school which is why one of the cons is screaming children everywhere. Perhaps it was just my experience but I played here when recess was happening at the school and several young children were playing in the playground. Perhaps you like the sound of screaming kids but I do NOT.

Overall a cookie cutter course, like it rolled off an assembly line or something. This is a course you've played dozens of times before. I used my Zephyr as a one disc round and enjoyed playing it that way. Any course bagger can get this done in uder 30 minutes. Not great, not terrible, just a course to tick off the list.

Pros:

Scera Park is a beautiful park with lots of large trees which make for a beautiful surrounding for a disc golf course.

Great baskets.

Good for beginners and children (who are playing disc golf, terrible for children trying to play on the playgrounds).

Hole 8 is a good hole.

Cons:

The single largest con to this course is that the design puts two playgrounds at risk. In one case you're throwing directly at a playground on holes 6 and 9. This is completely unacceptable to me and really impacted the rating of the course.

Mud tee pads. Not grass or dirt, mud.

Signs are ok, but some are confusing.

Hole Breakdown:

Hole 2's tee pad is in the direct line of fire for hole 1.

Hole 3 is short, thank goodness, because it plays way too close to a playground.

Hole 4 has you play over parking areas in a kind of blind shot that could put park goers at risk.

As noted Hole 6 is a turnover shot that puts kids in danger, as does hole 9.

Other Thoughts:

I'm all about disc golf courses in public parks, but I question the decision to put one in such a popular park that doesn't really offer a lot of room to play. For this reason I don't recommend this course for anyone but beginners and kids. Even then I hesitate as beginners will be more likely to put the poor kids on the playgrounds in danger with errant throws.

People are unaware of the disc golf course here and thus don't really know to avoid fairways and such. Be patient and courteous as a player and for the love of all that is holy don't throw discs into the playgrounds!
