Pros:
• Very beginner friendly
• Decent tee boxes (rubber mat type)
• Good signage although one transition (#4) I headed in the wrong direction towards #5
• Nice baskets
• Restrooms/water nearby
• A decent mix of fairly wide-open shots
• Lots of other park amenities
Cons:
• Wind (a minor con) can really blow in this area
• Pay to park (~$5 (time of year dependent). Minor quibble, as I'm pretty sure some of this money goes to the course.)
• The route from #9 back to #1 is a bit lengthy (also a minor quibble)
Other Thoughts:
Tips:
• #1 is on the opposite side of the pay booth as you drive in (use the map, if needed)
Random Thoughts:
It's a challenge to rate this course without considering the larger main course but I'll give it a whirl. This is a pretty wide open, beginner friendly, course that isn't terribly difficult, unless.......the wind is blowing, and that's a fairly regular occurrence in this area of the park. Personally, I think that's a good thing because you present a good starter course/round that's approachable for the novice player but has an element that can increase the difficulty significantly, but not to the point that it's unfair or you're going to be tremendously worried about losing discs. Almost every hole is of the 'rear back and fire' variety with some decent elevation changes here and there as well as some strategically placed trees (along with some mild OB). I find it a good place to work on shots, introduce people to the game, or just enjoy a quick casual round. There's even a mild 'top of the world-y' shot on #8. Speaking of which, you're going to see a basket in the distance past the #8 tee box and nearby picnic benches. I assume this is some kind of practice basket but it did cause a little confusion on the first visit. I'll also mention that I found it fun to make up shots/holes on the way back to #1.
Bottom Line:
This is a good starter course or warm-up round for the main course in a great park in a great city. It's certainly worth checking out and if it ends up being too easy for you, go get your Napa-roll butt kicked on the main course after you're done with this appetizer. Thanks to the designers for continuing to add to this great disc park.
Update: At some point after I wrote this review, the course layout changed fairly significantly. It doesn't change the overall 'feel' of the course but it does change the route tips (so ignore all those above). Have fun out there.
