The Ace Place 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice concrete tee-pads
-Nice tee-signs that are easy to read and give a layout of the hole and distances of each pin placement.
-Brand new baskets that catch very well
-Practice basket and information board at the start of the course
-All of the holes provide a chance for an ace run.
-This is a very good course to bring someone to introduce them to the game.
-The whole course is in a well-groomed area of the park and there is very little risk of losing a disc here.
-There is a trashcan at most (if not all) of the holes on this side of the park

Cons:

-This course has very little distance (The longest hole is about 210 feet long).
-There are very few obstacles and the obstacles that there are a very short trees that don't provide much of an obstacle
-While the course does have different pin positions, they only really add a little bit of distance and don't change the look of the holes.
-Pretty much all of the holes are straight, wide open shots and the course gets repetitive after a while
-A couple spots can be a little hard to navigate the first time you play because there are a lot of tee-pads and baskets near each other.
-The course has no elevation gain on it (the only exception is if you have a bad shot on Hole 1).
-This course does not provide much challenge and more experienced players may get bored quickly here
-We were there on a Saturday and the course was definitely quite crowded and there were a decent amount of non-dgers using the park.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course to just bring your putter or mid-range and practice shorter drives. It is also a great place to introduce newer players to the sport. There are no very memorable holes on the course and it starts to feel repetitive pretty quickly. It is a great place to stop if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play it unless you like shorter courses or are trying to introduce someone to the sport.
