I liked it 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

CLEAN..short grass. I liked the baskets nice to see, good flag on top. signage was good at the holes of where the pin is.

Cons:

no number on the baskets.. they are big, they are beautiful.. how about a number on the basket.
when the shelter house is rented, not that it should come into play at all.. BUT.. seems like my disc can become a magnet to them when people are in them.
watch for people walking.

Other Thoughts:

There is not a whole lot you can say about this course.
it is just that average. wide open throwing for most part, just a circle around the park. the geese are everywhere, i actually think i hit one or two down by the baskets.. NEED SOME HUNTERS.
I can say this, if you are just learning, you should not have a problem here.

Pros:

-great signs. they have distances from each tee listed, as well as a picture of the hole.
-well kept park, everything was mowed and I didn't notice any trash
-there was a lady driving around in an ice cream truck. it was good
-locals were very nice and were helpful for finding my way around.

Cons:

-very open. most if not all of the holes are wide open. the only challenge is distance (2 500'+ holes and 2 400'+ holes from the long tees)
-was not easy to navigate. if not for help from locals I wouldn't have found holes 1, 2, or 9
-about half the course plays through a very busy part of the park.
-hole 9s fairway is dangerously close to a parking lot.
-tee pads are sand and pretty uneven ground.

Other Thoughts:

decent course. it was way too easy for my taste, but beginners might enjoy it from the short tees.

I threw into some water on hole 8. It looked like it was about a foot deep so I went in and found myself standing in nipple high nasty muck. I found the disc though.

Pros:

Nice course, generally well kept. Dogs and and alcohol are allowed, though beligerant drunks will be arrested. The local non-disc players are finally figuring out that this is more than a park, its a disc golf course. The city seems to be intertested in improving things, potentially adding concrete tee's if funding was available. I love this course because im a local, its easy enough for beginners to play from the reds or whites, and am2/am1/open players will see a challenge from the blues. Everyone is generally very friendly.

Cons:

No concrete tees, red tee for hole 3 is missing. Tee sign for 9 is missing, white tee is designated by big dirt spot, you cant miss it. People park along the fairway for #9, and vehicles get hit quite often, and fights have started because of it.

Other Thoughts:

Hopefully more people will come out and play at Owens, as there IS more than just one tee location. With any luck tournaments and leauges will be starting in the Spring of 2010.
