This park is very pretty. The woods, the wildflower meadows, and the lake.

Good variety of holes.

The signs and maps are very clear and professionally printed.

It feels like the course wasn't constructed by disc golfers. The tee pads are the wrong dimensions and not always level. Outside of the fairway, those lovely fields of grass and wildflowers eat discs.

The maps on the nice signs sometimes use the wrong perspective. Typically the tee pad would be at the bottom with the basket at the top so that left=left. These have the basket at the bottom.

At times the only directions to the next hole are arrows spray painted on the grass or gravel. Not a very permanent solution.

Come to this park for the walking trail.

-nice mix of open & wooded, longer & shorter holes
-the re-tire baskets catch pretty well; i had no complaints
-mixed tees but the natural tees are in pretty good condition and the mats are good
-signs at each tee
-8 holes have a longer blue tee that adds usually significant distance
-some minor to moderate elevation changes in play on a handful of holes
-the open holes have clearly defined fairways with tree lines that are thick and punishing
-the wooded holes mostly have fair lines (except the first two) but are very tight
-the greens tend to be tucked near tree lines or just around corners
-plenty of parking
-tons of other park amenities

-pedestrian paths in play on basically all the non-wooded holes
-a couple of the short tees are awkwardly backed up to a tree line
-holes 1 and 2 are ridiculously tight. the long tee on 1 has no real line and on 2 the line is so sharp there's not much of a way to get there
-convoluted par system; isn't one par per hole good enough?
-park and gates close at dusk

Regional Park has a nice mix of open spaces and tight woods. The majority of holes play through open areas that are flanked by dense tree lines. There are 6 wooded holes that play through those dense trees and most of them have a fair line and are some of the best holes on the course. I especially liked hole 8, the uphill hole 12, and the tight but fair holes 17 & 18. I liked hole 5 and 9 also, the latter having a cool green very close to the lake.

Some of the natural tees, the dense trees and underbrush, and occasional piles of deadfall give the course a bit of a scruffy feel but the holes are mostly pretty fun. You just have to make sure to watch out for the pedestrian paths. The short tees are good for a fun round or for beginners. I had 2 beginners with me (2nd or 3rd full round ever) and they faired pretty well. I threw some extra shots from some of the blues and they're okay, just adding a bunch of distance on the open shots but making the wooded ones (1, 13) much harder.

This course is definitely a big upgrade over Broadlawn Park for Ardmore. I think it's one of the better options halfway between DFW and OKC.

Great are for a course
Love the difficulty of wooded holes and the open holes
Enjoyed the manicured teepads
Tee signs were very detailed
Beautiful views of lake on the middle holes of the course
Plenty of opportunities to use all of your throws
Multiple teepad

Biggest con for me were the baskets, I like the innovation, but I prefer the more traditional baskets
Not the best of layouts, had to check the course map almost after every hole to locate the next teepad
From the looks of the wooded holes, it seems they have plans to clear out some more trees, which will only make the course better

Really enjoyed the course. Wish they layout was a little more smooth. Wooded holes need a little more work to be done, but once those trees are cleared out, it will only make the course better.

Round of Applause for whoever keeps this course CLEAN! We literally saw less than 5 pieces of trash on the entire course.

This is not our home course so we were relying on course signs and noticed the need for signs to help park at the newer baseball fields and closer to Hole 1

We loved this course! Definately covers the cardio workout for the day .... but has some of the most beautiful views we have seen.

Good mix of wooded technical holes and big open shots that still require good placement shots.

Get to use my whole bag, requires alot of different types of shots.

Great place to practice angle control and being straight and accurate off the tee.

Tee pads are messed up on a handful of holes after they moved them.

Hole 1 needs to have trees removed on the second half. No line from the red tee to the basket.

Hole 17 and 18 is very tight. Removing some trees may make it more fair for less experienced players

Needs to be cleaned out in all the wooded holes, alot of "jail" if you get off line....dead trees, thorns, etc.

If there was bigger concrete pads and hole 1 was different I would give it 4 stars. Good challenging course.

New Layout a little better/old layout unplayable

2 good holes I like the one over the bench near the lake and the one high on the hill.

The rest are better if it is kept mowed it will be playable

forest holes to tight
non forest to wide open no shade

If you dont keep in fairway bring disc the grass will eat them pretty high rough

Very long course for time and distance with walking.

New layout way better but still would like to see the forest holes more fair

-Blue tees create Par 64 course for Recreational players.
-Several Par 4s.
-Good mix of wooded and open holes.
-Challenging layout!
-The red tees present a Par 56 option.
-Beautiful lake views!
-There is plenty of risk/reward without the use of water hazards. Wooded holes are tight, and open holes will make you pay if you go into the woods.

-Not a great course for beginners. This course is quite difficult. Beginners may get discouraged by how mistakes are magnified.
-Ticks and poison ivy. (These are everywhere this time of year) Use bug spray and watch for leaves of three.

-Course is located on the north end of the park where there has not been much traffic traditionally.

-There are some blind holes that cross pedestrian paths. Be sure to use spotters and verify no runners/walkers are present before teeing off.

Hole 1 is a tight wooded hole that breaks right to left slightly and may very well be the toughest on the course. It is a Par 4 with a Par 3 red tee option.

Hole 2 is another tight but short hole. it breaks sharply left to right.

Hole 3 is an open drive that ends in a grassy alley in the trees. Hills feed away from hole in the woods so stay out of the trees or pay. There is a red tee option.

Hole 4 is another shot similar to 3. Open right to left break ending in a grassy inlet within the trees. Watch for pedestrians coming around corners.

Hole 5 is open but with a gap through tree line to hole. You can hyzer over tree line, but you will pay if short. There is a red tee option.

Hole 6 Is a neat wooded tee box throwing into an open left to right break with goal behind tree line. Watch for pedestrians.

Hole 7 requires you navigate a huge oak tree with woods close on either side. There is a red tee option.

Hole 8 Tight wooded uphill shot that feeds to the right sharply at the top.

Hole 9 is a tunnel drive into an open hole that ends in the woods by the lake. USE A SPOTTER!

Hole 10 is a long open drive to a goal across the grass. There is a red tee option.

Hole 11 is a subtle left to right break with the goal tucked into the woods on the right.

Hole 12 is a long drive from tee breaking right to left to an uphill goal.

Hole 13 is a grassy strip that is tightly surrounded by trees. Throw straight or suffer. There is a red tee.

Hole 14 is a wooded uphill shot with a great view of lake.

Hole 15 is a straight drive into a goal that is tucked between three substantially bushy trees. Commit to right or left. You don't want to drive directly up to the right hand front tree.

Hole 16 is a long straight drive drive to the corner with goal tucked into woods. Leave your drive to the left or have no shot to goal. Red tee option.

Hole 17 is a tight wooded lane that fades a little to the left. Watch out for deer.

Hole 18 is a tight straight shot. Watch out for deer.
