Confidence Booster! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 2, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Located in a clean, safe Clinton park, Brighton provides a beginner-friendly atmosphere. Most holes are bordered by a treeline to the right. The course is easy to navigate and each hole has a decent tee box with which to work.

Cons:

The first four holes in particular are adjacent to the park's walking path, which will undoubtedly cause a few delays in your game due to the many walkers and runners.

If you do so happen to throw into the woods on a couple of the holes, you may experience difficulty in finding your disc due to steep slope on number 3 and even thick thorns on number 6. Throw it straight and this won't be a problem.

Only one hole (number 8) provides any obstacles to the thrower, other than a few minor obstacles on other holes. A good flick on number 8, however, will curve right around the trees anyway. On all the other holes, a solid straight throw will suffice; so unfortunately, there isn't a need for many different discs or types of throws. The distance to the hole is very short on average at Brighton.

Other Thoughts:

Despite the course offering little challenge to your average disc golfer, one can still enjoy playing at Brighton - every hole is potentially ace-able!

Aviar is all you need... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice Baskets, Concrete Tee Pads, Grass is mowed regularly. You can also really build up your aces on this course.

Cons:

Very Short Holes, Baskets were installed incorrectly - almost over a foot too high. Course design is very poor - 8 out of the 9 holes are straight/anhyzer and wide open.

Other Thoughts:

As a Clinton resident who lives literally 2 minutes from this course, I play it fairly often. However, I really wish some of the baskets could be lowered.

I rarely see anyone else playing there, but lots of track walkers often force you to delay your throw.

Lit for night play!!!!! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 15, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Safe park. Even though it's short, you still must throw with accuracy. No traffic background noise. Not busy when I played it on a Sunday at 4 PM. I liked hole 8 as it is the only basket that is guarded by a tree. Literally 30 seconds off I-20. If you are driving by with 30 minutes you can spare, there will never be an easier course to find and quicker course to get to. At sun down the lights around the walking track and some that line the park road came on and 4 of the holes were super lit and the other 5 were playable without a flashlight! Nobody playing golf from this site has ever been there at sundown to be able to witness this Lit 9 holer come to life. I am raising my rating to a 2 because of this rare attribute. You go Brighton with your bad lit self.

Cons:

Only 9 holes. People hitting golf balls, walkers. It was soggy in places. Like most 9 hole courses, park has got a lot going on besides disc golf. Around 5 PM first 4 holes have blinding sun shots.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I suggest you stop by and play here. Thank the Gods for disc golf, Keep the Mississippi courses coming. To be honest, I hold 18 hole courses to a higher standard. Probably because I naturally expect less of the 9 hole course before playing it, therefore easily being pleasantly surprised. Lit for night play!!!!!! I think the park closes about 9 PM.

Trip to Brighton Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 17, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

New course in a suburban setting. The baskets and teepads are good quality. Markings on the course clearly designate the hole. Good facilities.

Cons:

Baskets are set too high. The course is short in general and lacks challenge or variety. It has only 9 holes.

Other Thoughts:

Take away any one of my cons and this is a good course. The course is set in a small city park so space was limited for the design. The tee pads, although they're concrete, are a bit small. The holes basically circle the parameter of the park, and there's very little change in hole type. Most holes are flat and straight with little or no vegetation or obsticles. Holes 6 and 9 bend to the right while hole 8 offers some tall trees to navigate. The baskets are way too high by at least a foot to 18 inches. It's a shame because the baskets are nice Innova Discathers. On a positive note, the facilities are great. They are air-conditioned and very clean, and they offer some vending machines.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 11, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

There are not many pros except the course is in a nice peaceful community setting.

Cons:

Baskets are set very high. The course is way too easy. You will probably only need your driver on 1 hole. Every hole is ace-able. very few trees, no water, and no elevation changes.

Other Thoughts:

This course is fun to play, but there are better ones around the area. I will only likely play it if I am actually in Clinton already. This was the first course I've ever played, and luckily I decided to play the course at the rez or I probably wouldn't have gotten into disc golf.
