+ The distances are just right for the new player and lend themselves well to birdies and ace runs.
+ Half wide open, half tree-peppery.
+ Reliable tee signs and baskets for all nine holes.
+ Gentle elevation.

- Tee areas are simple patches of worn down dirt.
- No 'next hole' signs, but the holes are so close together that it doesn't matter.
- The holes are so close together, but this course sees so few strong throws that it doesn't matter.

My favorite hole here to look at is hole8 because the player stands at the top of the park's gradual slope and can observe everything. My favorite hole here to play is hole3 because it combines the course's only uphill with trees. My least favorite? Hole2, I guess, because it felt the flattest and most wide open.

Regarding Branchwood Park's course overall, there's very little to it, so this review will seem quite short. You've got your wide open fields and your tree-dodgey throws. You go up and down a hill that you barely notice, and then you're done. It's over: easy and quick. Those short distances tempt you with birdies and aces. Those trees still exist, though. Don't ignore them just because the fairways are short. Play as many rounds as you want. One session takes barely twenty minutes.

Obviously, it is a course with the family/novice in mind. New players will enjoy the lessons that this course can provide. Fields encourage them to let loose and throw. The trees here, while not particularly dense or intimidating, will definitely make a new player think about aiming more. The dusty/muddy tee pads might leave them with a negative first impression about the sport, but it's honestly not a deal breaker if all you want is a small and quiet place to get some approach practice in.

Bottom line: It's good for kids. It's good for newbies. It's good for families. It's good for low-stakes training and practice. It's good for a budding interest in disc golf to take root, but players will quickly hunger for more.

I agree, good to introduce someone to the game. Open playing area, good if you want to learn long arm putting.

Cramped into a little section of a nice park. Hard to navigate course. Signage is present but not oriented well same with baskets. All holes are playable with your putter. You won't need anything else, so leave your bag in the car.

I'm a tough reviewer....Especially when there is so much potential for this place...If you are looking to have a good day out, pass this up unless you want a quick warm up or putting practice. Whoever the community officials were that laid this course out, should have called on some help. With so many other courses in this area to play, they could have made a field trip to several of them and got some creative ideas... There are beautiful acres of this little park that could have been used to spread the 9 holes out and incorporate some nice 300 ft - 400 ft drives. No hole is really over 200 ft. Even a newbie needs to be able to feel the power of a drive. The whole course is about 100 ft wide and about 800 ft long. They even have a marked par 4 on the course which is really a par 2. You should be able to lay up next the basket on every drive with a drop in putt. A gnome would have an easy day here. Keep on driving if you are anything over "beginner" level.
