Pros:
The Quarry disc golf course sits on an old 9 hole golf course grounds that had been given up on years ago . I am not sure what the reason was for abandoning the ball golf course , but I personally wouldn't be interested in losing my golf balls in old rock quarry pits . Anyway , pulling into the small parking lot , I had to look a while before seeing the multi colored lines drawn on the sidewalk for the tee pads . That's right . Tee pads are on the sidewalks , or at least the ones you can find are . No signage and no kiosk for navigation ,so you better print the map . The baskets are the Chainstars that are in decent shape , and most have basket numbers on the inside pole . The course grass was a little high in the fairways when I played , and the rough was out of control . It looks like they really let this place go . There is some elevation here , but the course design only utilizes it on holes 1 , 2 and 9 . The rest are more flat and in the back of this park .Even though the tee lines on the cement were pointed toward the corner of the course , the #1 basket is downhill and to your right of it . After that , you walk up and towards where the #1 tee pad is pointing . There are a few good holes on the course . #1 is okay , #2 is uphill and on a downward sloping part of a hill . #3 forces a throw over part of the quarry , unless you want to play it safe and throw off to the left . The next 5 holes can be confusing and you may have to safari some . #9 is a potentially fantastic hole , and Signature Hole : At 750' , and the only ;listed par 4 on the course , the hole starts with an elevated tee to a long downhill drive with extreme rough on the right and a big quarry hole . Go far left and you will end up in deep high growth and the tree line . After some distance , the fairway winds a little left . Stay straight and you wind up in more rough , but clearing it will put you on a large landing zone . The hole finishes up with a long drive to the uphill basket , with boulders ( I guess to identify the name Quarry ) on the right and left of it . One of the most scenic holes from the tee that I have even seen , and a quality finishing hole . For 9 holes , this course played slow to me . It took an hour , but parts of it entailed looking for my disc in the rough and looking for tees on the cement paths .
Cons:
#1 Navigation . Some of the worst navigation I have faced in a long time . After figuring out #1 , #'s 2 & 3 Are okay to find , but after you are up on the level back part of the course , you will find 5 random baskets and zero flow . The spray paint doesn't help every hole , so I did some safari on a few of the holes . If you didn't print or download the map , good luck to you . #2 Course upkeep .Disc Risk : High and a major concern . I lost my favorite disc in the thick rough of the course . None of it looks cut back . If it goes deep in the quarry , it's probably gone . The grass was also a little high on the fairways , but they were still easily defined . #3 Course equipment . Course needs tee signs and tee pads bad . maybe even some Next Tee signs . I wanted to keep this separated from the Navigation Con, so I could emphasize this more . There is no fun factor in looking for tee pads ,,,, and your driver . Nothing else to keep you in this park . No amenities , no gathering places . Just play , get in your car , leave .
Other Thoughts:
It was a good idea to put a disc golf course on an abandoned ball golf course , but it looks like either the funds dried up for this venture , or interest waned . Tee pads , minimal upkeep and signage would help this course a great deal . I saw some potential for the holes in the back . A memorable finishing hole at the end , it might be forgotten by some because they spent so much time looking for or fishing their disc out of the rough or quarry . My Recommendation . Newbies , families , dates and 2 disc casuals , should avoid this course. Competitive players , decent locals will be okay here . Not a course to go out of your way on , but it's worth a stop if travelers are in the general area .
