What happened to this place - the pics show maintained faiways? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are 17 baskets on the poles, there are tee signs, there are rubber mats for one and some holes have two tees.

There are water fountains, and bathrooms, and plenty of parking.

Well that's about it for pros, and most of them don;t have much to do with the actual course.

Cons:

Whew, where to start...
Grass and weeds have overgrown the fairways, the underbrush is creeping in from the side of almost every hole and lanes are down to less than 5 ft. wide in places.

Tee pads, are indeed rubber, but they did not bother to out them on a wood frame, so they are uneven and some are all of 5-6ft. long, why bother with an under 6ft mat?

Tee signs, well, they don't all seem to match the holes - and the map on here doesn't seem to match the tee signs, or the course either... Tough navigating

Hole 1s basket has broken welds and is laying on the ground around the pole...

Other Thoughts:

This park has money, there are like 8-10 soccer fields, nice bathrooms and water fountains everywhere in the park - but the disc golf course is a complete after thought. Both by the parks dept and local vomunteers that could maintain this place and actually make it a somewhat decent course, maybe..
.
Trask everywhere in the woods and underbrush too, just give it some love locals, is that too much too ask?

If volunteers would get together and have a few work days, this course could get back to looking like the pictures, instead of completely overgrown mess.

Its disc golfc oruses like this that give our sport a bad name. Someone local get organized and put in some work. And I;m not calling out the lack of effort alone, I do more than my share at several courses back home.

This was the first course in a very long time that I wish I skipped and played somewhere else tonight. Just sad to see it fall apart.
