Bristol Park DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 11, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very simply laid out course, great for beginners to get to know the game or to practice controlling your drive distance. The course is 90% open, so there's not many obstacles to try to circumvent, which means players can work on fundamentals without hitting a tree every throw. Hole 6 is the easiest ace-able hole, a straight shot of a little over 100'. Players with a little stronger arm have ace opportunities on holes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 as well. Hole 9 has a short fence ~20' short of the basket that creates a sort of "island green", bit the fence is open at both ends, as well as having an opening in the middle.

Cons:

As far as ammenities, the course leaves a lit to be desired. The signage is basic at best, just a plastic sign with the hole number, distance and par with a section of yellow corrugated pipe around the pole. The poles for holes 4 and 9 are currently lying on the ground and the sign for hole 9 is missing. Hole 5's basket currently lies adjacent to a gravel mound covered in tall weeds. A slight relocation of the basket to be between the gravel mounds would still make for a slightly challenging hole, as well as making the basket slightly more accessible. The approach to hole 6 is an easy ~150' straight shot, but pushing the disc a little left or right will land you in thick brush or a corn field, so accuracy and distance control are key.

Other Thoughts:

As far as a simple and easy beginners or practice course, Bristol Park isn't bad. If you're looking for more of a challenge, there are other more challenging courses not far from Waverly. There are rumours of using the bottom field that's currently empty to add 9 additional holes. This will at least add something new for the locals to play, and maybe introduce a little additional challenge if laid out properly.
For holes 1-5, and 8 & 9, the course can be made slightly more interesting by playing the ball fields and adjacent yards and fields as OB, which narrows the playable fairway, as well as playing the pathway crossing 5 and running along 6 as an OB river.
There's a large parking lot and usable restroom facilities.
