Florida Man Adds Baskets to Park

Played the course:once
Pros:
This is a great example of how NOT to design a course.
+ visibility for sport (though poorly executed)
+ community involvement via sponsored baskets

Cons:
Layout is bafflingly bad.
- dangerously designed fairways
- course shoehorned into crowded park
- poorly marked tees create confusing layout (for 18 holes on nine baskets)
- inadequate room for course

INFO
This flat, open, rec course threads around a small, neighborhood park along the bay. Narrow fairways tightly wrap around parking areas, ball fields, a children's playscape and memorial garden, a dog park, a gazebo and the shoreline. Several holes play extremely close to roadways and parking lots with throws crossing two entryways and a road. Expect water to collect in fairways on several holes after rains.
EVAL
This is a disc golf course design fail. Someone thoughtlessly shoehorned nine holes into the grassy areas separating features in an already crowded park without regard for the safety of guests, parked cars or passing traffic. The addition of disc golf to this park was obviously an afterthought which was not well executed to integrate with existing elements. The course layout is dangerous and haphazard, relying mostly on amenities such as parking lots, fences and a gazebo as obstacles. The few holes along the shoreline are really the only adequate space in this park to accommodate disc golf without overlapping other park features.
NOTE
Tees for nine additional holes are laid out in reverse course order to revisit each basket and extend play to 18 holes.
LAYOUT
The course starts near the splash pad in grassland marked as a water reserve area. Narrow utility easements between the parking lots and neighborhood streets comically define fairways and greens for the first three holes. The next four holes closely loop around a dog park that resides within the confines of a former baseball field with holes beyond the outfield fence also bordering the shoreline of the bay. The last two holes sharply dogleg around a gazebo and then a football field to conclude this disc golf absurdity.

Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
It's a new course
Cons:
The whole course is just not good. The only halfway good holes. Are on the back of the dog park. This area is just too small of an area for a 9 hole course. It is not safe to play. Hole #1 I was not able to play because 2 Lynn Haven PD officers were parked in front of the basket. Hole #2 the fairway is only a few feet wide.
Other Thoughts:
There is another course being built in Lynn Haven
