Pros:
Not the most challenging course in the world, but if I could pick one course to be my "home" course, it might just be this one.
It's not very long, so almost every hole is birdieable for an intermediate player, but there are consequences to missing your line or placement. In spite of how gettable most of the holes are, there are some real potential blow up spots.
- Decent elevation changes, good mix of open and forested shots.
- Almost every hole has a bit of character to it, even if it's short.
- In spite of being wooded, it's really not bad for losing discs compared to some other courses.
- Great signage and course markings with mandos clearly markled (drop zones even have little plaques in the ground).
- Course is laid out very well with respect to the public. Although it's in a public park with well-used trails, for the most part there aren't any super dangerous/sketchy areas to worry about like there can be at places like Rundle/Baker.
Cons:
- Concrete tee pads are a bit short and not as well brushed as others (meaning they can be slippier than others when wet).
- One of the worst courses I've played in Alberta for bugs in the spring/summer.
- For a Pro, this will not be a challenging course, though it should still be enjoyable. Definitely not one of those "let's just drop a few baskets in a wide open park" type courses.
Other Thoughts:
- There's an active disc golf community in Grande Prairie, search "Grande Prairie disc golf" on Facebook.
- Playfair Athletics in town sells discs if you're looking.
