Pros:
-- Variety. Long and short holes, water hazards, a tunnel shot and two tee shots over water.
-- Decent concrete pads, although a little short for the longer holes, and nice baskets.
-- Alternate pin locations...
-- Park is beautiful and well maintained
-- Not crowded with disc golfers.
-- Parking lot next to holes 1 and 9.
Cons:
-- Navigation. Once you find hole 1 (east of the parking lot), you'll be fine through hole 6. However, the walks from 6-7, 7-8 and 8-9 are long. You will question whether you are going in the right direction. Keep going.
-- Very little shade.
-- The walking path that winds through the first part of the course (and provides some OB challenge) means you will often wait for walkers. We started a round at 7 a.m., and saw a lot of walkers.
-- Water will eat some discs. Signs say no wading. The deeper/bigger water is so polluted that you can't see a foot deep into it. If your disc goes in, say good bye.
Other Thoughts:
-- After open (or at least semi open) holes 1-7, No. 8 surprises you with a 200-foot tunnel. In the short position, the basket is on the left edge, where a slightly off-target shot can end up down the hill, or even in the water. In the long position, the basket is down hill through some trees in front of a shallow creek.
-- Hole 9 gives you a 300-foot water carry, a lot to ask of most players. You can bail out to the right, but that bring the street into play. My playing partner nearly hit an oncoming car and likely scared a couple of car drivers.
-- Very long on the first 3 holes, a surprise for a 9-hole city park.
-- The rec center on site opens at 6 a.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. on Sundays.
-- I wouldn't travel a long way to get here, but it's worth a try if you're in the area. If you live nearby, you're happy.
