Easy to navigate once you find the 1st Tee. It's on the side of the park closest to the Museum.

Holes are short but you still have to do something a little technical to get to most of them.

The creek does add an element of danger, and there is a bridge now! You aren't trapped after hole 6.

There is a long and a short tee on holes 1-7. 8 has 1 tee and basket although you could use the path as a long tee. (update! I found the long tee for #8, it's up by the street near the parked cars.) 9 has one tee and 2 baskets. the shots are interesting from both tees and there's often not that much of a difference. The long tee often adds a little more technical challenge, more so than just making the short tee longer.

Park is very well taken care of.

There are 2 forced carries over the creek if you're playing the long tees, and 1 forced carry from the short tee. neither is very long but it does add excitement. #1 is a forced carry over water from both tees, but the hole is only about 200 feet total, less than half of that is a forced carry.

#7 is a great hole on any course. Play it from the long tee even if you're playing the short tees. The long tee is only about 225 feet, but it's mostly over the creek with several lines to choose from. It's wide enough that you shouldn't hit a tree and drop in the creek, but there's always that chance....

This park is pretty small and there are a lot of other things going on. Also, I'm not totally sure I'd be comfortable here if this was my first time playing disc golf. You definitely don't want to throw a bunch of sideways shots because you'll hit cars, people or be out into some busy streets or in a creek.

The tees are small, but then again so is everything else here. There's just not much room.

Most of the holes play down a park walking path and you might be waiting a while if it's nice out. Easier to just skip holes and come back later.

The short basket for #9 is a very fun shot to an elevated basket on the edge of a dropoff to the creek. The long basket on #9 is the worst hole on the course, a straight away dull slog with a fence on one side and a path on the other. If you're playing the long course, skip that on #9 and just play to the hanging basket instead. You'll be way happier, unless you miss it and your disc disappears into the creek.

#6 is sort of dull hole, in an empty field to a pyramid basket. Doesn't really matter what tee you play from, there's not much difference. Maybe there could be some other more creative obstacle in the field. We are right next to a museum. Maybe a big sculpture of some sort! Turn it into a par 4 with a couple of mandatory gates.

I'm updating my review from 3.0 to 3.5 for customer service. A few weeks ago I played here and on #9 I threw a pretty terrible shot and it went deep into the water. I had no way to retrieve it. A couple of weeks later, the West Reading Borough called to say that someone had retrieved my disc, and it's at Borough Hall, come pick it up. Now that's a Very Good Course!




I enjoyed the course and it's a great way to walk around for 20-30 minutes. It's mostly flat with nice easy paths. The baskets are new and friendly. It's all par-3s and none of them are back-breaking, but it's not a pushover from the long tees, you are forced to play a bunch of different shots in order to get close to all of the baskets, and the creek is constantly a danger . You are likely to lose your disc in the creek unless you have a grabber. The short tees are very short, mostly just chip shots, but still you have to work your away around or through trees and not go down an embankment. The parking lots, courts, walking paths, roadways are all close though. You are often playing down, next to or across a walking path and this is a pretty busy park. Fun though, I enjoyed it more the second time around than the first. The cement pads are very small though, the tee pads painted onto the walking paths are better.
