Pros:

Amrock is the definition of a beginner-oriented course with only six holes, minimal obstacles, simple lines, and little threat of losing a disc. And yet there's some pushing against the conventions of this form: holes 3 & 5 are over 350' and hole 6 is a legitimate par 4 at 580'; a few holes have basic but nonetheless real decisions to make that will be shaped by one's skill set; there's the opportunity to reach into your literal and technical bag to shape different lines and approaches. It makes for a casual round for sure and is a great place to bring a child or true beginner, but there are still pleasant opportunities for more seasoned players to wing a few shots and watch their discs fly.

We used Amrock as a chance to warm up before heading to Two Mile, and it served that purpose well.

Grooming was excellent, navigation was a breeze. The park seems small but is picturesque, with a playground for kids and opportunities to stroll.

Cons:

Ultimately, this is a course geared towards beginners with only the most casual appeal. Holes are simple and straightforward with minimal to zero obstacles: the two par 2s are legitimately so.

Despite the course's simplicity, there are some longer holes here, and the raised gravel tees offer inadequate space to drive on. We threw adjacent to them basically throughout.

The basket is not visible from the tee on a few holes, and in these instances even simple graphics on the tee signs would be helpful to orient. As-is, we had to scout a bit which felt silly on such a simple course.

The walking path does come in conflict with the course at a few points.

The course's six holes play progressively further into the park, meaning you have to retrace your steps after finishing your round. It's very much not a long walk and nothing to mind, but in-and-out purists may be miffed.

There's little shade, so you'll feel the sun when it's out.

Other Thoughts:

Shoutout to the elderly man tossing a disc back and forth while smoking a cigar on hole 1. He looked to be in his 80s. My hero.
