Short 9 in a clean park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Short 9 in a clean park that takes advantage of available space and elevation

+ Water runs along the right of the first two holes. Although it's screened by pretty thick trees, there's a clearing at the second basket - so a long putt might get the water into your sight and your head

+ Good variety of shots required: a few (RH) sidearms on the opening holes, and Hole #3 is perfect for a thumber over the building

+ Although it's par 27 and only 2100', there are a few longish holes (280', 300') and a few 250's that play a bit uphill. Even if it's not exactly ace runs, you should be counting up your birdies


Cons:

- A few holes (#5 and #8) where it's possible to throw at the wrong basket. Pictures on this site show great signage differentiating close baskets in 2010, but I don't recall seeing any signage in 2020

- The disc golf isn't at all removed from the main park, so I guess play can be really affected by picnics and other park traffic on busy days


Other Thoughts:

~ Course Amenities Summary: Poured tees, good baskets, poor signage, very cart-friendly. Watch out for speed traps (local police were using the park entrance as a waiting spot to watch the main road on the morning I played. They wrote several tickets)


~ A great place for quick recreational rounds, or to bring new players. Pair it up with the nearby Adventure Park DGC which is a bit longer and more open, for a nice variety 18.

Little Gem 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 15, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great for a 9 hole course in a beautiful area. Very scenic. Signs and course set-up are very clear and concise.

Cons:

Too many straightaways. Not enough variety of throws can be utilized, as most holes are just straight ahead

Other Thoughts:

Look for the beautiful white Egret birds along the creek.

Great beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Very well maintained small community park.
-Good signage with hole layouts. Hole #4 basket has moved and is marked in marker on the sign for hole #4.
-All concrete tee pads.
-Almost no way to lose a disk. Great intro and beginner course.
-Drinking fountains and porta potties throughout the park.

Cons:

-No technical or risky holes.
-All short holes.
-Lots of other activities around the park, which means you may have to play around people.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great community park. If you have friends or family wanting to spend the day at a park and introduce them to Disk Golf this is a highly recommended park. They have a large pavilion for get togethers and smaller cookout spots along with a Military memorial. Great location for a 4th of July or Memorial Day celebration.

Short Game Practice Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 7, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I gave this course a 3.0 because its a great course for beginners and those who want to practice their short game. I learned how to play disc golf here and it was a great place to start. The more experienced players will rarely need to pull out a driver since no hole goes much longer than 300ft.

Cons:

As stated its a short course. Not challenging holes.
