Nice little pitch and putt 9 hole course. drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 10, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice little park
-Nice baskets
-Pretty decent design given this small area.
-Plays very quickly
-Some elevation change
-A couple holes that allow for a distance driver.

Cons:

-Most holes very short, an experienced player can drive most of these holes with a putter.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a great little course if you happen to live in the area. Probably not worth a special trip to play, but if like me you find yourself in the area on your lunch break it can be worth it to stop in. I can usually play this course in about 20 minutes when playing alone. Good course to bring newer players to since its mostly open and pretty short. Hole 1 is a proper challenge, since it is very uphill with a low ceiling.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 23, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Nice Baskets
-Great for quick rounds
-Very easy to navigate
-Great course for begginers
-Fun Ace Run opportunities
-Little chance to lose discs
-Clean and well kept
-Great for playing a safari or 1 disc round

Cons:

-Hole 1 is a tough starting hole and needs some trimming
-Tee pads can be short if you have a long run up (but most holes are fairly short)
-Almost plays too quick
-An errant throw can land in a fence backyard on hole 5

Other Thoughts:

Bergen is a quick playing 9 hole course, that isn't overly difficult. A great place to take a new comer. Hole 1 can be a bit of tough hole, especially to start on. Uphill and dogleg right with low lying branches crowding the fairway. Hole 2 is the shortest hole, but requires a touch shot to land near the downhill pin. You can open up on the 400 foot hole 3 that plays in an open field on the side of a hill. Hole 4 is also on the longer side for this course and requires you to play between a ditch on the right and some brush on the left. On hole 5 you will need to throw a dogleg left slightly uphill and hope you don't saw it off early into a fenced in backyard. 6 plays down hill toward where the pin is place between some evergreens and the ditch. Hole 7 plays some what opposite of 6 and is uphill requiring you to throw a low skip or anhyzer to get close (rhbh). Hole 8 is my favorite hole, and is protected by trees and some rocks. Hole 9 brings you right back to the beginning of the course and is a straight ahead hole between two trees.
Overall this isn't the most spectactular course in the area, but is definitely worth playing if you happen to be nearby. You could use it as a warm up round for Churchville or Chili which are fairly close by.
There has been rumor of another 9 holes possibly being put in across the street, which would make this an odd, but fun 18.

I really liked it 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 7, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

A very well laid out course.
Great use of a relatively small space.
Clean and very well kept up.
Cement pads, giant hole signs and an arrow pointing to the basket you're throwing to.
Nice and open so you can air it out.
Almost zero chance of losing a disc.
A good beginner course but still challenging enough for more experienced players.
The baskets look cool.
Easy to find with the big, bright sign by the road.

Cons:

If felt a little weird because it feels like you're kind of playing in everybody's back yard.

Other Thoughts:

You're surrounded by people's houses. Because of that I think we really need to be on our best and most courteous behavior. Let's set a good example for Disc Golf. I have to imagine that a few homeowners didn't want the course there so let's not make them regret that we're there.
As per Prerube's suggestion, I went to Rosie's and got a slice of sweet peperoni pizza. Not bad and it was only $1.75.
All in all the designer did a great job on this course and I will definitely be back to play here.
Update on 12-5-15 Every time I play here I like it more and more. I've yet to get a 3 on Hole 1 with that giant hill to throw up. Hole 2 is short and down hill but I've yet to get a 2 there because if you're lucky enough to land near the basket there's a really good chance that your disc will roll down the hill away from the basket. Even on hole 6 we landed close to the basket only to have the disc roll 10-15 feet father away downhill. It's a more challenging course than it looks if you want to try for low scores. It's never crowded, it's very quiet and will give your ankles a good workout as you're often walking on an angle. We played 27 holes today in T shirts in December. Nice.

Beginner Course with safari potential 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Excellent baskets. Course was simple to figure out with no map.
Course was simple enough for a first timer to play, but challenging enough for an intermediate player to have to work to shoot a 3 on every hole.

This would be an awesome course for a safari round.

I could not believe hole one started out so difficult for a beginner course. It was a nicely done, up hill that required a fade to the right.

Cons:

Tee signs only have hole number. No real tee areas, just play from left or right of sign.

Hole 5 plays far to close to a fenced in backyard.

On many holes I would look at the hole and think, If I played to a different basket this hole would be awesome.

Other Thoughts:

The giant disc golf sign right on the main road is such a great visual and leads to exposure of our sport. The local school has some land that would make a great disc golf course and having a course so visible in town is a great way to get disc golf in the schools.

If you are not from Bergen, after your round drive down 19 just a short ways and stop at Ralph and Rosies. You can not experience Bergen without a slice of sweet pizza. You have to ask for the sweet pepperoni or sweet chicken.

Nice little 9 hole course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 20, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice little park. Clean and well maintained. Good middle of the road course. A challenging hole or two but still beginner friendly. Met a park staff guy who was very friendly and mentioned they will be adding numbers to the baskets, cement tee pads and another 9 across the road in the woods which should compliment this well. Seemed to be interested in feedback. Given the space provided I think they did a good job and are making dg more accessible for the locals and people to the south of the current majority of courses in the area. Nice MACH V baskets. Follow the arrows to find the basket, it will be near the next tee for the most part... The map helps a lot and make its super easy to follow.

Cons:

First hole is a bit daunting for beginners, and a challenge with no warm up. They need distance indicators. Will want a garbage can. A little worried the Hyzer shot around the people's lawn will create problems over time. Gets a little tight in some spots but I think it will be ok. They are going to move the basket for 8 to fix the one real problem area I saw.

Other Thoughts:

Glad to see disc golf expanding. I think it will get a lot of use. If the beginners can make it through the first 4 holes the last 5 are easier.

Fun 9 hole course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 19, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

- not a lot of bushes to lose discs in
- good place to get in a quick easy nine holes
- pretty decent for beginners to learn the game - Some 9
hole courses like Sawyer and Woodlands can be pretty
difficult with lots of trees
- Some holes are longer so you can air it out, not real
short like some 9 hole courses

Cons:

- tees are easy to find but which basket you are throwing too can be confusing being that many baskets are visible from each tee. There is an arrow fro the tee pointing in the general direction of the basket.

Other Thoughts:

Overall it is a nice 9 hole course. You get to air it out on some baskets and it isn't punishing for beginners. I played with someone else and we finished in 40 minutes and enjoyed doing it. There really isn't anything special about it but it is another place to throw discs at baskets.
