This is a busy mixed use park with 18 short holes shoehorned in among other park activities. Holes 1-4 are unplayable if there's soccer going on, 5 and 6 are in the baseball outfields. Hole 12 throws directly at a picnic pavilion, and other holes cross through a play area and over walking paths. You have to wonder what the course designers know about the game: do they understand that part of it is THROWING discs?

There are a few points where the course lengthens itself out to 300' holes, and it begins to feel like a "real" park course. But then the layout puts an artificial obstacle in front of you, like a picnic pavilion or a tennis court - and it's hard not to be repeatedly frustrated by the compromised design.


~ If you have a child engaged in a group sport, you might be able to practice on holes in less busy areas.


~ Or if you are a child or a newbie who doesn't throw with any force, you might enjoy some of the shorter holes as an introduction to disc golf while remembering not to endanger other park users


~ Or if you happen to visit at a time where there's virtually nobody else in the park, you might enjoy a quick round of birdies and ace runs. You'll be teeing from small pavers that are generally placed within 10' of the previous basket, so you'll be thankful nobody is playing behind you.


Under ideal conditions, this is at best just a bagging stop or some practice baskets. If your situation doesn't fit any of these scenarios, you're better off avoiding West Pennsboro altogether. The ace runs aren't worth the danger and the frustration.
