Not great

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 21, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- No brainer navigation
- Good catching baskets
- Slight elevation changes
- Hole 9 tunnel shot is fun
- Short enough to be played quickly

Cons:

- Dangerous layout plays right down a walking path
- Dirt tee pads are an eyesore
- Most holes are wide open and short
- Uninspiring design

Other Thoughts:

This course is on the property of a children's hospital. While I find it nice they approved a disc golf course here I kind of question why they did. I question why you make a walking path one third of your fairways. This is one of the worst courses in an area of really great courses so I question why anyone would want to play here who doesn't work at the hospital. This can be played in under 30 minutes so a good one to bag if you're looking for another course to tick off.

Pros:

-- New Veteran baskets
-- Blue tiles for tee markers in the ground, with hole number and distance, although the hole numbers are already getting hard to read.
-- Easy to navigate, except for transition from 3 to 4. You continue north on the walking path (it's a long walk). When you reach the end, turn left and follow the gravel path to the southwest.
-- Beautiful mowed fairways and paths to tee pads when you are not following the walking path.
-- For a shorter course (only one hole is 300 feet), there is good variety. Shot shaping is required, and you have uphill and downhill throws. Many baskets are protected, so landing on the correct side is important.

Cons:

-- Pedestrian path is in play on 4 of 9 holes.
-- Off of the mowed path/fairway, rough is thorny and tall. You aren't likely to lose a disc, but you might spend some time looking.
-- Natural tees. They are not terrible now, but some are already showing wear. I doubt they will hold up for long.
-- No restrooms or water.
-- No benches.
-- Long walk from parking to No. 1 and then back to parking after No. 9.

Other Thoughts:

-- The course is behind the hospital and starts near the northeast corner of the building and follows the walking path for holes 2-3 before turning left onto a gravel path to get to the remaining holes. No. 9 ends near the No. 1 tee.
-- Someone put some work into making this a nice course, but a map and directional aide (or aides) getting from 3 to 4 would really help.
-- All of the parking behind the hospital (near the course) is mark as staff only.
