Winding your way down on Bakerview 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

For being a pretty small park, this is solid design. The trees are used well, and several of the holes have multiple lanes to the basket. Hole 2 has an outfield scoreboard you need to negotiate if you are throwing a really wide hyzer. Holes 3-9 all have trees somewhere near the basket.

Holes are mostly in the 200-300 range (maybe all of them are), so there are a lot of birdie opportunities. I think I got 5.
Navigation wasn't bad since I was mostly following other players, but the park is small enough that you can probably figure it out.

The Cascades are in the background, so this was a pretty place to play at sunset.

Cons:

The concrete pads are all circular for some reason and aren't quite long enough for a full run up.

There isn't a ton of length here.

Other park users could come into play, although the course does not have any unsafe features design-wise. A pretty bad throw could end up in the baseball fields or on the road.

Other Thoughts:

I was in town to visit North Cascades National Park. I'm surprised how many people there were on a weeknight for a small town. There is clearly support behind this course.

Pros:

No chance of losing a disc here. If you're tired of digging your discs out of the blackberry bushes in Sedro Woolley, come here to practice your short game. The course makes decent use of natural obstacles to add some interest. Can also be a good spot to do some safari golfing (ie. make up your own tee off locations) since there aren't any tee pads anyway. Also, nice place to see if you can get that illusive Ace.

Cons:

No tee pads and posts instead of baskets.

Other Thoughts:

Rumor has it that baskets and tee pads are in the works. Hope to see some upgrades as well as a better layout by end of the year.
