Pros:
- it's one of the only courses in New Brunswick
- it's a quick play, and a fun course
- the homemade tone poles are made from piping for a stove, very creative and economical
- dual tees (shorts are marked by small numbered stakes in the ground, longs are marked by neon orange stakes)
Cons:
- no baskets, just tones
- no concrete tees, and poor markings that can be difficult to spot if you're unfamiliar with the course
- no bathrooms
- navigation can be difficult because of missing tee signs, or faded numbers on the tones, but using the pictures from this site you should be able to navigate fairly easily
- it is a 15+ minute drive off of the TCH, so don't try and go there during rush hour
Other Thoughts:
When I played, I ran into Steve? the course designer, who has move to Fredericton from the Ottawa area in the last year, and created this course because there wasn't anything to play there. I think that's a great idea, and he did the best he could with what he had to work with. He's also a really nice, helpful guy, so if you see him on the course you should say hi and talk disc golf with him for a little while.
For the tricky parts to navigate, hole 1 starts just down the path from where you enter the park. After hole 2, the closest tone to you is hole 6, the one that you see farther down the road is 3. After 3, hole 4 is the first hole that plays into the woods, then you take a long path off to the right of the tone to find hole 5 (about a 100m walk). Holes 7-9 play around the far edge of the leftmost strawberry fields (looking at the fields from the park entrance)
Sunset Strawberry was a fun course, but not much of a challenge. It's nice to see disc golf growing in other areas of the world, and Steve has done a good thing starting it in Fredericton. This course is far from spectacular, but it is better than not having a course, and if you want to say you played in NB it's worth a stop.
