Other Thoughts:
First off, I always think it is great to get courses put into the ground. However sometimes it just should not happen.
This is a small park with a short little 9 hole disc golf course. Someone spent some money to get 9 baskets in the ground, but did not spend a dime on marking any tee boxes.
The flow is decent enough, longest walk would be between holes 9 and 1 if you were playing multiple rounds.
Hole 1 is a wide open shot using the parking lot and road and obsticals.
Hole 2 is probably the best hole on the course which is not saying much. Slight turnover shot if you throw close to the rough, or a decent forehand shot around the trees.
Hole 3 is a wide open short shot with only the road behind the basket.
Hole 4 is a wide open shot with rough behind the basket.
Hole 5 is mostly wide open with the rough to the right.
Hole 6 is the longest hole on the course with rough on the right.
Hole 7 is a mostly wide open shot with the road on your right and behind the basket.
Hole 8 has you throwing across the road, across 7's fairway and around the edge of the restrooms. Super dangerous hole
Hole 9 another wide open shot with the road on your left and behind the basket.
In general, this is a pitch and putt course that is just not good. I don't think the original intent of hole 8 is marked on the UDisc app in the right spot. I don't know the park boundaries or what was allowed to be used. This may be as good as they could do, or it could just be a horrible course.
Would I play here again? heck no. Believe it or not, I actually came across another disc golfer on this course. it was his "home course" but he had not been playing very long and mentioned how hard the other courses he had played in Fort Smith where. I did shoot -8 on this 9 hole course only missing my putt on hole 4.
