I Could Really Put A Hurt On The Vandals Who Tore Off The Signs! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 11, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Airpark Park is a nice sized park near the airfield (hence the name, huh?). The disc golf course is way in the back of the park and butts up against a series of duplexes which might explain all the missing signs. The course starts near the parking lot. There is a course map here. The course has decent concrete tee signage and Discatchers with the numbers 1-9. The signs have the washer system for A and B basket positions but there were no washers. An important thing to remember here is there are nine baskets and 18 tee pads. With so many tee signs ripped off, navigation was much more confusing than it should be. Another matter of confusion for me was my on-line map only shows a 9 hole course. The really big problem is I'm easily confused.

A heavily wooded creek area splits the course in half. Many holes play either into this wooded area or cross the creek. #'s 1 and 2 play on the near side then 3-6 play on the other side. 7 and 8 are also on the far side.

There are some fun downhill throws to be made here, some throwing into those baskets perched in the woods.

Cons:

So many missing signs.

Windy.

No washers to show basket positions.

9 baskets and 18 tee pads can be confusing.

The area in the woods was kinda of grungy feel to it.

Other Thoughts:

Someone did a nice job signing this course and then to see them tore off. It's a shame. I've played some courses on this trip with great navigational aids (Harmony Bends) and others with little to no help. As a traveling player, i want to get in, play the course quickly and get moving to my next course so I appreciate any help navigating a course. It just pisses me off when punks have vandalized the course like they have here. Those duplex's in the rear look like the kind of housing where disc golf course, vandalizing, dirt bags would reside!

Open but Overlapping 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Concrete Tee Pads
Multiple Basket Placement
New Baskets
Great Signs
Good use of OB and Mandos

Cons:

The course doubles back on itself

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice course in an area with not too many close courses, but it should probably just be a 9 hole instead of 18. Since there are only 9 baskets there is an opportunity that if there's more people on the course people could be throwing at the same basket.

However if you like decent distant with a few technical holes this is a good course. There is a good use of Mandos and using the path as OB forces you to be more accurate then you would otherwise have to.
