Best Eagle Scout Project I've Seen 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 30, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Many Ace-able holes
+ Very nice and most importantly visible signs
+ Nice looking park
+ Can get some DG in quick

Cons:

- Natural tees which after a good rain are bit unpleasant to throw from.
- Fairways all run real tight together putting lots of different baskets in your peripheral vision
- Not a lot of shot variance needed

Other Thoughts:

As someone else said, this course is what it is. For what land was available and the fact it was an Eagle Scout project, this course turned out very well. The baskets and signs are all nice and quite frankly I'm impressed that someone was able to squeeze 9 holes out of that little bit of land. Really the only thing that I didn't enjoy were the dirt tees. But that was largely because it has rained a good amount recently so it was all mud tees.

This is the kind of course that if you're local to the area would be a fantastic place to warm up and or work on upshots and putting. If you're just passing through the area I'm guessing you'd feel disappointed comparing it to other local courses.

Good beginner / easy course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 14, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

+Well maintaned.
+Nice area.
+Seldom busy.
+Easy to get in a quick game.
+Water hazard on #9 makes for controlled tee shot.

Cons:

-Short course.
-Road runing next to course can be a bit of a hazzard to errant discs.
-Land available is limited so some fairways are close together.

Other Thoughts:

Even though you can sight Cons for this course, they really aren't. This course is what it is. The land was freely given for creation of the course and a nice relaxing course is what you get. The short holes, although not challenging to advance players, allow good practice of upshots and disc control. You can play an easy 18 in well under an hour so it's great for a lunchtime break from work. They have planted many more trees on the course so the difficulty is increasing.(although still easy). Great course in the space provided. Great for a few rounds of putting/upshot practice.

A short course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 4, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to Navigate
Well-Maintained
Never Crowded
Great for Glow Golf
Disc Golf Exclusive Area
Great for Beginners

Cons:

Very Short
All Holes Are Under 300'
Busy Street Can Come Into Play
Natural Tees Could Use Work
Layout Could Be Better
Pond Does Not Come Into Play (It Should)

Other Thoughts:

This course is best if you are just trying to get some sort of disc golf in and don't have much time to do it. You can easily get through all nine holes in 20 minutes or less. It's pretty much a beginner, glow, or lunch-time course.

Course layout is pretty simple, pretty open holes with little to no obstacles blocking the baskets. There can be a little but of a challenge if the wind is blowing. The way the course is designed it is basically a wind tunnel and it can carry your disc across the entire course.

Another good use for this course is to really hone your approach and putts, as most of the holes are really short and pretty straight shots. We also use this course to play glow, as most of the other course around here are in state and city parks and close at dusk.

This course is definitely not on the must play list, but if you have 30 minutes to kill and want to throw some discs this is the place to go. There are a few parking spaces along Norn St. and the first tee is located across the pond.

great for quick rounds 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 6, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

course plays quick, great for a lunch break round. let's you work on your short game. Water comes into play on hole 9.

Cons:

Fairways are very close to each other and a couple of tee signs are missing (respect the courses or they will disappear people, let's keep the sport alive)

Other Thoughts:

This is on a very small piece of land and has a course par of 29, could easily be all par 3s. Great job with the land given to use.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 18, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very easy to navigate. Signs that tell you distance, par, and what hole you are on. Great if you want to play a quick round.

Cons:

Only 9 holes. The course isn't very challenging and is wide open. None of the whole on the course are over 300 feet.

Other Thoughts:

Some of the holes on the course are fun to play. There are very few hazards so if you are a beginner and dont want to loss any discs this is the course for you.
