Reviewed: Played on:Jan 7, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

- free to play, plenty of parking
- it's more fun than an average 9 hole course
- lots of room for course future course development.
- open enough for beginners, challenging enough to interest higher skilled players
- course well landscaped
- course isolated from most park activities
- it's the best place for disc golf in town

Cons:

- no multiple pins
- walking path through the middle of the course
- flat
- a little RHFH favorable
- natural tees
- the course has unfinished amenities

Other Thoughts:

The Bulldog is a great example of opting to make a solid 9 basket course with multiple tees instead of a more compact, less savory set of 18 separate fairways. Hole #1 starts right next to the parking and sort of shadows the walking path in counterclockwise direction around the property. Fairways feature open, mostly flat, landscaped grass with somewhat of a green belt of trees through the middle of the course. The tree trunks and canopy help loosely define the fairway shapes on an otherwise open layout. Even though the holes are fairly open and forgiving, there's enough distance and variety to remain fun and challenging. At the moment, the tees are still natural, marked with a mix of signs, flags, and bricks. I expect that to change sometime is the near future.

It's hard to be overly critical with my cons because the Bulldog is still in development. Nonetheless, I'll make an attempt. Natural tees are an obvious one, so are the lack of information on the tee signs. Another is that the shot selection from tees sharing the same basket felt too similar on many holes. I'd like to see more lateral separation and fairway shot variety and or distance from the pin between tees sharing the same basket. The terrain is fairly flat, a hanging or raised basket might help spice things up a little, too. Be careful of mole hills and holes in the ground, they're spread throughout the area.

Courses like the Bulldog are always a pleasant surprise for a bagger like myself. You just never know what to expect when you travel to a multi recreational area course. I thought more park activities would interfere with my round or that the layout would be really boring. I experienced neither. The baskets looked cheap, but caught incredibly well. I'm interested to see how this course evolves in the future. There seems to be a lot of potential.
