Pros:
+ There are baskets (well 7.5 of them)
+ Pond in center of park makes for a few interesting shots
+ The island hole (the signature hole... if you can all it that) is unique
+ Small course in a small community may introduce some to disc golf (also see cons)
+ Not even a full block off of highway 12, making the "course" very easy to locate
+ Convenient store next door to park
+ Fair use of the few trees on the "course"
Cons:
- A couple of baskets vandalized, one completely unusable (see pictures - sadly, the most interesting flight lanes on the course end up at that very basket)
- Very small course in a small park
- Largely lacking interesting holes/shots
- no real tee pads - just rocks placed throughout the park marking the proximity of where you should throw from
- No signs or hole numbers on the (Innova) baskets, making navigation very difficult
- Although there are some trees here and there to contend with, it does not often affect the line of throw
Other Thoughts:
By the looks of the course, it appeared the townsfolk may not really know (or appreciate) the sport of disc golf. Sadly, I wonder if this "course" may be more damaging in showing new players to the sport than a positive introduction to it. If this were the first course I had ever played, I may have dismissed disc golf entirely equating it to no more than a game of safe lawn darts. Although the size and layout of the park will always limit the courses potential, hopefully someone in the area may take an interest in keeping the course presentable.
