Snooty Sundance Residents Don't Want To Share Their Crummy Dirt Course With Us Lowlifes! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

"No Tresspassing" reads the sign near the beginning. The course is for Residents of the Sundance Residences and their guests only. There is also a very nice sign showing the course map and another sign explaining the course rules.

There are nice little colored tee signs which show par, distance, hole # and a route. The tee pads are a natural material which is a darker shade than the surrounding dirt. This darker material is also used as patching to lead you to the next tee or to a basket. The baskets are Innova models with the yellow bands. There is a number on each one.

There is a nice variety of lengths with some shorter ACE runs in the 215' range to # 11's 732'. There are some small trees which provide most of the obstacles here.

Cons:

Some of the pads are very soft.
I just don't find it very pleasing to play on a totally dirt course.
Dirt/rocky course is hard on discs.
Dirt/rocky course is not visually pleasant.
Very windy today.
Lots of similar type holes.
# 10 would be an easy hole to lose a disc on (by throwing over the wall into water reclamation facility).

Other Thoughts:

I don't see Sundance getting a lot of play. There was evidence on the soft tee pads that someone had actually thrown from them. Between the wind and the dirt, I can't honestly say that I really enjoyed my round here today all that much. I like green grass too much

I guess if I lived here I might play here occasionally, as it stands now, fortunately I won't be passing through the these parts again. Is it out of the question to consider artificial turf for the entire course?

Dirt Neighborhood Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 9, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Free course
- New baskets
- Map of course at hole 1
- Easy to follow course flow
- Numbers on every basket
- Detailed tee signs with distances
- A variety of distances throughout the course
- Slight differences in elevation for a few holes

Cons:

- Dirt course that gets really muddy after a rain
- Open fairways
- A ravine, housing property fences and the Buckeye water reclamation facility wall all raise the odds of losing discs

- Some fairway/tee pad overlap
- Natural tees
- No alternate pin placements or tee pads
- No bathroom on location
- Smells horrible

Other Thoughts:

This dirt course is sandwiched between the city water reclamation facility, a residential neighborhood and a farming ravine. If I were a betting man I say it's on a water drainage area by the looks of the flat bare landscape. What the course lacked in fairway shape or obstacles was made up for in distance variation. The holes I didn't birdie used distance as a difficulty factor. The signs and baskets looked great, it looks like a newly installed course.

Sundance Park was an enjoyable place to throw (minus the mud) , but it has too many opportunities to lose a disc for a beginner friendly type course. I liked the front 9 more than the back 9 because the holes there had more fairway definition, however 14 & 15 were my favorite holes of the course. Use the pin I dropped to find the course or you might be directed to the wrong place. Google maps got it confused with the other Sundance Park that has baseball fields and dog park the first time I tried to find the course.
