Pros:
***Important*** This review is based on having just played the Wirth Par 3 "Enhanced" 18 hole course set up for the National Senior Games on 7/12/15***
The Wirth disc golf course shares space in a creative way with a par three ball golf course, so you can always expect excellent maintenance, a clubhouse with refreshments, bathrooms, and some pretty, park-like views. The normal set up for disc golf includes multiple tee and basket positions on each hole, but we played it with some changes: we teed off on hole 7 from right behind the line of trees, forcing a decision on flight lines. Temp hole 9 (long) played through the gap just past the knoll on 8, with a tree in front of the tee which "strongly suggested" a short, controlled (rhfh or lhbh) S-curved shot selection. Holes 10-13 were lengthened and combined, as were 16-18, to create a challenge for players between Recreational to Intermediate skill levels (from the long tees), but still remaining fun for the women and the older guys (my dad played his first event at age 80 here!) from the shorter tees.
The course presents a tremendous amount of flexibility, shots that bend in all directions, opportunities to set up blind shots and use a great deal of elevation, and yet (for the most part) not punish errant shots with lost discs. The baskets are good, visible yellow and green, 18 chain models. The tee signs are the same quality as the ball golf signs, and list distances in yards but they don't indicate pin position.
Cons:
We had the benefit of playing the course all to ourselves due to being a National Senior Games event. But ball golfers were apparently chomping at the bit to get on the course as soon as we were done. I'm not sure I'd like playing concurrently with guys who can hit me with a golf ball, but don't have any idea where I'm headed as my disc fairway runs across or into the woods around them. Disc golfers would possibly be treated as interlopers by a lot of 'REAL' golfers...
The only part of the temp setup that might require re-evaluation would be holes 16 through 18. They were definitely the most challenging and the most talked about. We teed (on both long AND 'short' 16) from the elevated, 9th ball golf tee, and had to ignore the basket short and to the left (several folks got confused here). Instead, we played over the far ridge, and to the dastardly sloping, hillside, wooded basket position for 18. Then the long 17 shot completely blind and back over the same hill to the basket seen earlier. Finally, we doubled back over the same hill to another blind, rollaway basket. It was excellent that they 'ribboned' the blind positions (kudos!), but it FELT like all three of these fairways ran parallel, and only 50 to 100 feet apart from each other. Not sure I'd make that 'permanent'...
Might be a plus for some, but the course is intended to be played with the ball golf greens as out of bounds, and with good reason: a spike shot (or even excessive foot traffic) could really damage the necessarily smooth and level surface of their greens. We were careful to play it 'right', because of tournament penalty strokes, but not every casual player will be so cautious.
Finally, this isn't a con for me, but a lot of folks seem to demand big distances off the tee to make a good course. Wirth's normal setup is somewhat short (12 holes from the 'longs' don't even reach 250', and only one hole is longer than 330'). We played it slightly longer (8 under 250', 6 over 330'). As currently laid out, the combination of less than inspiring play and the sharing of the space has been mentioned as a negative repeatedly. But I did hear Steve W say they were hoping for a redesign in the near future.
Other Thoughts:
Even though I only got to play it once, and in an 'enhanced' configuration, it was easy to see that they've designed a nice, flexible, fun disc golf course, coexisting with an active ball golf course here. If they played it for one sport at a time (blocks of time for disc golf, and others for ball golf) it'd be a great use of space and resources. Even so, it needs to be understood that means it's pay to play, but at $5 a round, disc golf is still a great value.
