Pros:
Branchwood Park is a good sized park which extends on both sides of Camp Road. On one side of the road are some picnic areas, kid's playground, lots of open space, as well as, a stream with people fishing. On the upper side are tennis courts, basketball courts and the disc golf course. This little pitch and putt was established in 2006 and has probably introduced many people to disc golf. No doubt, she has served up quite a few Aces and about a million eagles.
The course is about as simple and basic as it gets. The nine hole course plays in a clockwise direction and is easy to follow. The signs are the old school fiberglass kind. They show no evidence of any abuse. Hooray for this neighborhood! The tee pads are just small worn spaces in the grass. The baskets are DGA models.
With only one hole over 200' (# 2 @ 220') and almost no obstacles in play, this course is an excellent introductory course. Every hole is a possible Ace. And with the pars set incredibly easy (for example; # 4 is an 140' par 4) even a rank beginner could shoot well under par. Even if you're not into all this "What is Par? you can still use this for practice and putter work.
Cons:
I see no major Cons here.
Concrete pads would be a nice addition although I'm sure these natural pads are adequate for this course.
I won't call the pitch and putt distances a Con. That is what makes this course so attractive to it's clientele.
Other Thoughts:
For me, it was kind of rewarding as I was entering my score on my DGCR Ap to see that I had shot minus 11. I'm more of a try to break par type of player. I realize this probably doesn't mean diddlley squat to some of you but a decent player could easily shoot minus 13 and that is without any Aces. If nothing else, this would be a fun course to come with about three of your buddies and play a rousing game of Ace Runs.
This is the great course to introduce your 7 year old to disc golf. No brambles. No water hazards. No searching for lost discs. This course is like the YMCA tee ball program where no child is ever called out. Pop out to the pitcher, you get to stay on 1st base. Everyone call feel good about their game. Everyone gets a trophy here at the Branchwood Disc Golf Course.
