Nice Try But... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-5 baskets
-Nicely maintained park
-Could play some safari or practice

Cons:

-No tees or signage. No idea where to throw from.
-Only 5 baskets which are awkwardly tall homemade baskets. Playing to the same baskets on multiple holes could be dangerous if more than one group was playing at once.
-Pretty open and flat
-The holes that I made up playing to the baskets were pretty simple and of an average length. There isn't a lot to work with at the current basket positions.

Other Thoughts:

-If they utitlized the whole park, got new baskets and made tees, this course could be solid and fun to play
-I don't know why people make homemade baskets. They can't be that cheap and have to take a ton of time to make. They are also almost always lower quality than any basket made by a real manufacturer.
-This course isn't worth a play unless you live in the area and want something to practice to or are a course bagger.
-All courses need some marking for a tee. It isn't hard. You don't have to have concrete pads and full color signs but you do need something.

don't waste you time 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are 5 baskets.

Cons:

There are only 5 baskets. They are homemade with only 1 set of chains that are super thin and way too high. No tees marked. You just throw from one basket to the next.

Other Thoughts:

Seriously unless you are a course ticker of the sick variety (and we can smell our own) just don't. It will scratch the itch if you just want to toss a mid a couple times, but nothing more, and since a huge lake is less than 500 feet away, spend the time fishing or boating or swimming or just checking out the chunky midwest farm girl action at the beach.

Far from good 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 4, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are five (abnormally high) homemade baskets to throw discs at. The one and only reason I gave it anything above zero is that there are actual chain baskets.

Cons:

There are five baskets to throw discs at, but no tee pads. You play holes one through five then turn around and play the first four baskets in reverse order. Again, there are no tee pads so you tee off near the previous hole I guess.
No signage except for the number on top of the baskets.
Baskets are abnormally high. See pictures

Other Thoughts:

This park has so much potential for a legitimate 9-hole course, if not 18. There are tens of acres of unused, mowed, park land and the course only occupies a tiny sliver of the land.
See the files section for the map. See where it says "Frisbee Golf"? Yeah, the course should play through there, but it's doesn't.
Travelers: do not waste their time hitting this course unless you are driving through town and have 15 minutes to spare.
I had to write a review because this is in no way, shape, or form, anything higher than 1-star.
