Yetter Park is a fast, quick community Par 3 amongst graveled forest, running along the river -- however water barely comes into play and is more background scenery than anything. It is also amongst the flattest courses I experienced. There are holes at other flatter courses that still have more elevation than the entirety of this course contains. Only several elevation holes with about a dozen feet difference between tee and pin. After nearby PB, I appreciated that.

Trees dictated trajectory at nearly every hole. There are two baskets per hole, blue or yellow, which are at the same difficulty and just provide different pin positions. Sometimes blue was farther in distance, sometimes yellow.

There are almost no doglegs, so barring bad kicks, major turns won't be an obstacle in general. You are faced with a consistent straight on disc golf at every hole, avoiding trees and sticking a good trajectory will be the name of the game.

Its greatest benefit is its 5-minute proximity to Pinebrook and the courses complement each other really well in different strengths and focus.

There is now a lost disc bin at the entrance. Tees were good, signs were well illustrated and informative. Portopotty in parking lot.

From my neck of PA, I was rather put off on just how utterly graveled in Yetter was. Not only the walking trails, which make up the majority of fairway but also all around the baskets. It's a downer on the enjoying nature aspect, but on the plus side it means very little mud after rain and come summer this course will have extremely little roughage to deal with.

I doubt it's enforced often, but the billboard has a $10 non-county resident fee, that online seems to apply some summer weekends to the park in general when some event is on. Strange, but okay.

Related, it was empty this time of year but I imagine it's annoying when the trails are full as the DG and the walking trails are completely enmeshed throughout.

Yetter is a 3.25 to me personally. I'll round it up but 3.5 is really pushing it imo.

+ The whole course plays within an active community park with lots of healthy trees to dodge and a little river to one side.
+ All eighteen tee pads are solid blacktop with a three-sided outer frame which cleverly points towards that hole's fairway.
+ As this is a public community park, benches and trash cans abound. Please don't litter!
+ Plenty of stock paper scorecards for the taking as you enter the park next to the practice pin area.
+ All eighteen tee signs are prominent and well constructed. They're a little faded but have all the info and a good diagram.

- Some parts of the course have areas of visible trash. Most notably, the hillside next to hole 2 has residential garbage everywhere.
- This course uses 'next tee tape' wrapped around one of the spokes at the top of each basket, but many of them have worn away or been scraped off. As a result, first time navigation was a bit uncertain.
- No lost disc box.
- Much of the course plays alongside, on top of or directly crosses the park's gravel walking paths.
- On the short side with not much to differentiate it from other courses.

My favorite hole to look at at this course is hole 8 because of the active river flowing alongside it. I would say it is the most dynamic yet peaceful spot of the course.
My favorite hole to play was right after it. Hole 9 starts off flat with gentle tree dodging before a stark uphill shot. From where the player tees off, it doesn't look like much until you get closer. It's not terribly far but still a fun hole to play.
My least favorite hole is hard to pin down. I could say "the one that overlaps with a walking path," but that doesn't narrow it down much. So, I'll just say hole 4 because that one was the first serious offender.

And that brings me effortlessly to the one gigantic gripe that I have with this course. At least half of the course's holes cross or play right on top of established gravel walking paths. If you come here on a nice day, then your session will unavoidably be interrupted by a dog walker, a group of friends out for a stroll, a family on a bike ride or even other disc golfers just trying to play other parts of the course. It simply can't be helped, and you need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Please use extreme caution when throwing, and be confident in your ability to yell, "Fore!" if you need it.

Those very gravel paths/fairways I mentioned have a distinct advantage over most other courses, though. As this review's title hints at, I suspect that rainfall will take longer to negatively impact the playability of this course. So, I think Yetter Park is the first-ever place I have encountered that is prepared to be played in the rain! That's a big deal. Most of the pedestrians would be gone, and the fairways would not be mucky and muddy because of this gravel. So, simply wear a poncho, and you just might have a better time!

It's a popular park. And the locals here are welcoming. Before starting, I chatted with a few golfers as they were warming up for a doubles match that was scheduled to happen later that afternoon. They invited me to join in! Seeing as how I didn't have a partner, I politely declined, but I detected a distinct tone of pride in their voices as they told me about their local course I was about to play. And it's not hard to see why.

That river is calming to look at and a thrill to throw beside. The partially open forest through which this course plays presents some nice tree dodging puzzles and more than a few tight tunnels. It isn't a terribly large park, however. That is reflected in the course's brevity. Brevity isn't necessarily a bad thing, mind you! For many players, this could be the perfect course to get some mid range tree practice. The absolute longest on offer is 403 feet with the course average coming in at 300 ft. There is only one tee per hole, but I'm happy to see them in the process of installing a second set of baskets for a shorter layout. Truth be told, I acknowledge that installing a course within an already-established park must have been exceedingly difficult. I would say that the space was used as efficiently as it could be while still completing a whole circuit. So, unfortunately, that means that some of the holes can feel samey. From start to finish, the player is surrounded by woods of varying density. There are no wide-open holes for long glides. Add to that a mostly flat texture, and you've got a course that plays well and plays tight but doesn't change enough between holes to be too striking or memorable.

Bottom lines: Despite the dislike I have for the fairways overlapping the walking paths, I have to imagine what this course would be like on a perfect day without pedestrians. When I do that, I see an efficient little course that presents players with lots of little challenges to overcome in the form of its varied forest and modest elevation features, and that's why we play: to be challenged. If you want a course with lots of little challenges that can be played in any type of weather, then Yetter Park is for your consideration.

- Course is easy to find and so is Hole 1
- Fantastic Par 3 woods course.
- Excellent use of property available.
- Smart holes and course design (great fairways, nicely placed tees and baskets and great use of trees as obstacles and tunnel shots).
- Perfect mix of all shot types.
- Fun course to play with nice challenging holes.
- Not one hole was frustrating or stupid.
- Flat, all in the woods, with one elevated basket and one elevated tee.
- Baskets in great shape.
- Well marked and easy to navigate through. Each tee sign has a "next tee" directional.
- Food and "civilization" nearby.

- I did not see any bathrooms. They may exist at park so I may have missed them.
- The tees were in good shape, but I'm personally not a big fan of gravel. They became uneven and lumpy, so much smoothing out was needed.
- Only a few people had used the "walking paths/fairways" while I was there and no one was in my way, other than waiting a couple of minutes for an older man to walk through. The foot traffic was not a problem for me but may be for a disc golfer in a bad mood....lol.

- I loved this course. It was a pleasure to play. It doesn't take long so a few rounds for the day is easy. There was a nice stream there along a few holes but does not come into play unless a throw is shanked badly or disc hits a tree with a bad kick. This course is smart, fun and well worth the trip while in the area. I will be back to play. Great job on this course guys!

-If you like wooded courses, this is your course.
-All the holes are unique and offer different shots that you have to take.
-Convenient for people in the Stroudsburg/East Stroudsburg region.
-Holes differ in length. Some holes require long, straight drives. Others may require a mid-range drive.
-There is slight elevation changes (not much, but enough).
-The course is clearly marked. To hole 15 is spray painted on a tree, right near hole 14's basket.
-Signs (next to the tee box) give an accurate description on where the basket is from the tee box.
-All shots are available here. You can throw forehands, backhands, hyzers, rollers, etc.

-The whole entire course is played in a park where bike riders, walkers and joggers go. They all stay on a gravel path, which takes you to each hole.
-Foot traffic. Some people take their time, but others know that people disc golf there so they will move for you, or let you throw first.
-In the summer the course becomes far more difficult because the trees grow in.
-In winter, spring, and fall, it may be difficult to find your disc because there is a lot of foliage on the ground.

This is a great course for people who like the woods. Every hole is in the woods, which makes every shot challenging. This is a difficult beginner course because the course is all woods. Example, hole 3, has about 5 trees, 10 feet in front of the tee box. This course is more geared towards active players who want to practice keeping their disc low. Some holes are extremely easy, (holes 9,12) and then some holes are extremely difficult (11,15). This course will make you think, and at the same time will be a fun experience.

***Keep in mind, I am a beginner and this was the very first course that I have played***

The course is very wooded and there are no holes that are "wide open." That being the case, I was able to play on a day with the temperature in the 90s, but remained very cool. There is little to no elevation change, which also made for a round that wasn't too physically taxing. The gravel / rock fairways are nice and well maintained, as well as the tee boxes. Although the course is only minutes away from the general population, it gives a feeling of being secluded out in the woods.

If you have never played the course, the signage is horrible and even though there are nice gravel fairways, it is still very misleading.

Because it is so wooded (to me, a beginner), there aren't many opportunities to "grip it and rip it."

This course took my disc golf virginity, so it will always have a special place in my heart!

This course is a perfect beginner course for anyone but is also a fun course to play at all levels. Every hole has the ability of being a birdie shot and most have fun ace runs if you really throw at it. Which comes into play a lot. The crushed stone paths make the course navigable and easy to take a off road stroller through.

Some holes and walking to next tees cross over each other which eliminates the possibility of heavy attended events.

Very nice course. Most holes were challenging but ok for beginners too.

Some confusion with finding next hole and no information at the tee box regarding distance or location of goal.

The was very pretty and ran along a river. It was a pleasant afternoon in the woods. We will definitly go back while we are still in the area. Water shots were not a problem during July.

Good use of the area provided. Nice technical course in a pretty neighborhood park. River next to the course is only a minor threat but a welcome respite in the summer.

Hole 14 (I think) is one of my favorites anywhere, downhill and to the left with a large branch to bracket the fairway. One day I will get a skip ace here!!(Pounding the table!)

While you won't need a great variety of shots there is a nice mix and flow to the course. Fairly evenly spaced righty/lefty shots.

Hole # 9, basket up on a ridge is a great hole.

Bring your friend with the big arm and watch them suffer negotiating the endless tress.

No signs, maps or distance markers. Uneven dirt tee pads. No chance to really open up on any holes. Righties get a chance on #2 and one other hole whose # escapes me now. Other than that most holes are tight through the woods.

This is a nice course, worth seeking out. You will probably want to play it multiple times as it has a way of playing harder than it looks. Most of the holes are fairly short, but the trees never give you a break. There are plenty of deuce (and even ace) opportunities to make up for the 4's that come from hitting wood, but still easy to end up 4-6 over.

I struggled with a 3 or a 3 1/2 for this course. Should a course with no signs and dirt pads get over a 3? The shot selection gets a little tiresome after a while, too. But, it is a tough little course in a nice park that may drive you crazy and will bring you back. Not a powder puff. I finally settled on 3 1/2 because it is a "very good" course.

Wooded course with a nice variety of holes requiring an assortment of different shots. Good use of what little elevation there is (hole #9 basket in particular is a neat little uphill approach/putt). Holes near a river or body of water are always a pleasure aesthetically. Most baskets are visible from the tee. A fair balance of both birdie opportunities and more challenging shots.

Not experienced enough yet to appreciate "tunnel" shots- a couple of holes require pinpoint drives to clear trees 10-12 feet from the tee box. While the course was generally clean, the remnants of what appeared to be a garbage dump litters the hole #3 tee off area. Lack of good signage a negative and would add immeasurably to the course. Gravel tee boxes need to be raked out a bit and leveled off. Would have liked a couple of open holes to mix it up a bit. Brush and undergrowth in spots probably not friendly to the inexperienced summer player.

Played in the 2010 Ice Bowl and had a positive experience on this course. A bit of care and general maintenance to take care of "the little things" would go a long way. While some are turned off by the gravel pathways, I was told they were necessary because it is a swampy, low-lying area which would have standing water in too many areas without them. A deli in front of the course is a huge plus for the munchies between rounds. Overall, a pretty decent course which I'd travel to play again.

Good variety of holes and is a fun course to play. Course makes good use of the land. Bottom line, I would play it again.

If you don't keep it on the fairway, some of the brush is very thick. There are also lots of walkers who don't realize they are sharing the area.

The gravel everywhere is a bit weird. Painting the tee boxes or some more signs would help. Many boxes are almost buried.

18 hole course with DIScatcher baskets, easy to see. Not much elevation other than a few sparing holes. Tees are gravel and all of the baskets were surrounded by it. This was different and it made the holes easier to see and throw from. The tee areas are marked by wood. Excellent use of all the land there as well as a nice mix of righty and lefty holes. Although the course is quite wooded, there aren't a lot of super tight "pinball" holes and there aren't many places to lose a disc. Many of the holes are shorter, but some are challenging. Lovely creek nearby. Great use of the area given. Tee directions are given by spray painted numbers on trees near the pin locations.

The creek nearby would be a great place for alternate pin positions. Some of the pins seemed shorter than others, maybe the bottom of the poles were cut or something, not sure. Ten's tee interferes a bit with uphill shots on hole nine. If you follow the path from 10 to 11, you'll retrace the path with your tee shot. I found that a little odd. Other than that, I really couldn't complain.

This course was a pleasure to play. I enjoyed the course and hope to play it again soon. Course designer Jordan Bunn really did a nice job with what he was given to work with and he turned it into a nice course in an area pretty devoid of disc golf. Thumbs up!
