Very easy to follow layout
Alternate pin spots, club changes them every month or two
Good mix in terms of easy and hard holes for the average player
Lot of space
The Abilene disc golf association does a great job being friendly and keeping the course nice (Awesome and wonderful people)
Mowed often

Park isnt very nice
Hole 11 in the long is borderline unplayable, there are always people camping or hanging around on the basket and the pin position as it is is a few few from the river with zero backstop and a the ground is slick dirt
There are lots of crazy or homeless people wandering around sometimes
People in the park are kinda crappy and annoying sometimes
There have been a few murders at this park since I started playing and I have been warned by others about this park being sketchy (It is a little bit)

Decent course, indecent park

This course offers several interesting holes, with two basket placements for most holes, and three placements at Hole 12, including an 852' monster. Hole 13 has a basket placement out on a small peninsula that brings the water very much into play. I bounced a disc into the pond, but that's DG. Hole 16 is offers only a single basket placement, but that basket is buried in the center of a tight grove of trees which results in a unique hole.

Tee pads are smallish tapered concrete pads, and tee signs are very good.

This is a mostly open course with scattered trees. Much of the challenge comes from the wind. I played in a 20-25 mph north wind, and imagine playing with the typical summer southeast wind would be completely different.

Navigation can be a little confusing. The tee signs show the possible basket placements, but some combinations can leave you wondering which of two adjacent baskets are for a particular hole. Several baskets have no number so you may be guessing even after holing out.

I've added files showing the map of the course and the hole distances. Printing the map out ahead of time will help with navigation.

18 textured concrete tee pads
Good baskets
Well maintained grounds
Lots of chances to throw flat out drives and it still helps to have a flick

I can't complain.

I played this only once while visiting friends. It was very windy and these are very open shots. Certainly a challenge.

The 18 baskets are fit nicely into the area available.

Fellow DGers were friendly.

Semi-challenging course: strong winds, good mix of distances, several long holes (one 700+ ft.), mandos, water (legitimately affects at least four holes), different basket positions, and several holes which require overhand and/or unique throws.

Not really a lot of problems, but definitely could be more challenging and a little bit less open.

Hole 16 is an awesome hole, with the basket in the middle of a HUGE tree. There is a window through the tree, but it's a tough throw.
Cal Young is an overall solid course, especially for Abilene, but it could use some updating.
