Go Long! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great for working on your long game. Throw whatever you want as hard as you can and don't worry about hitting anything...easy to navigate, plenty of parking,

Cons:

Lacks variety of shots and terrain, no epic holes, not much to look at. No shade! Course is a big loop so you are pretty far from where you parked as you make the turn (bring everything you need from the start.)

Other Thoughts:

Navigation: You can get a little confused as to which basket to throw to on a couple of holes. Remember everything is wide open so you often will be looking at more than one basket from the tee. Not a huge issue but it helps to take a photo of the map at the start of the round so you can refer to it if needed. The tee signage is pretty good overall.


Overall Course Design: This is a course for big arms. In fact that is about all it is. There are no finesse shots here because the trees that they planted when the course was built haven't had a lot of years to grow up and "do their job" of shaping the fairways. This course is basically the same thing over and over again. You can throw whatever you want on almost every hole for the entire round. When the trees get bigger they will start to shape the fairways and make each hole more unique, but that is going to take quite a while. The terrain is a big rectangle with identically sloped sides and a flat bottom. There are some holes that do take advantage of that elevation and slope (tee off from the top straight down, throw from the bottom to the top, throw across the slope...there are only so many ways that you can design around a uniform slope of equal height).
Layout of the course is clear with no crossing fairways. They were doing the best they could with the design of a course that is a big, dusty, empty dog bowl so you are not going to have much in the way of scenic beauty to appreciate.
Great for big arms. If you need to work on distance or play for money against your buddy who can't throw as far, this is a great option for you :). Because the course is all open it's not hard to figure out where to go. You can just walk up and have a look. No blind shots.

Maintenance: No problems with maintenance. The land was just a big recharge basin so they don't have a lot of issues with the natural plants or grass or erosion having an effect on the course. The lack of shade means that if you play this course in the summer Bring A Hat or you are going to fry!

Amenities: Portable toilet in the parking lot. Not crowded.

Parking: Parking is good here. Just park in the designated area, do some warm up putts on the basket and walk over to the 1st tee.

This is a city course so you get what you pay for (=$0). I review city courses a bit differently than "destination courses" like pay to play public/pay to play private because they are all trying to achieve different things. As stated before, there are some things about this course that make it useful for working on parts of your game, but as far as an overall disc golf experience there are better free courses in the area.
