-- Nice recreational courese for beginners to play
-- Tees are easy to find
-- Restrooms nearby

-- Rubber Tee mats. Concrete tee pads would be nice, but rarely found on a 9 hole course.

This is more of a course update than a review. Previous reviews cited bad tee mats and worn wooden bridges. As of 2020, the mats are newer and in good shape. The wooden bridges have been replaced.

Compared to other courses I've played, one thing that stood out to me is that there are no dog legs, except maybe for hole #7. The baskets are literally straight out from the tees. Yes, they might be hiding behind a tree or two, but they are straight ahead. That's why I consider this a fun recreational course. Grab some friends who are new to disc golf and have fun playing here.

I plan to be back in the summer to play this course again.

These are the things that make this a good course:
- nice variety of open to wooded holes
- decent baskets
- ease of navigation through the course
- multiple bathrooms around course
- other amenities throughout park (theirs a concession stand behind #1 tee box if it's in season)

These are the things I think needs mentioned or could be improved upon:
- better signage & directional signage
-updated tee pads (some of the rubber pads were worn and a couple were uneven)
- a little more clear cutting on the wooded holes
- this course can be down-right muddy in spots
- I imagine this course is usually a windy course being right beside the lake (it blew my entire round anyhow)
- some of the wooden bridges that take you between fairways need replaced

This is a good 9 hole course that could be even better given a little more TLC around the edges. Navigation through the course was pretty straightforward but some directional signs and better tee signs on every hole would make it that much nicer. It would also be nice to see this turned into an 18 hole course. Cement tee pads would go a long way but I've never played a 9 hole course that has them. Overall I think this is a good 9 hole course that is worth playing if you're in the area. I believe every hole is a par 3 so it would be nice to see... if they put another 9 holes in, a couple 4's or a 5.

Course is in great condition! There is a nice variety of hole types. Some are wooded, some are open, some have trees you'll strategically have to throw around. As a beginner, I found the white tees very intimidating as some trees were planted right in front of them. Perhaps in a year or two I'll be able to tackle those. The red tees were a lot of fun though.

There is a disc golf display board next to the first tee that has scorecards and it also states you can borrow discs if you have an ID (sorry voters) and can return them before 400PM. I didn't confirm this though as I had my own discs.

The holes were in great shape also. I'd play here again in a heart beat.

I found the hole description signs at the tees difficult to read at times because they weren't clear (in my opinion) where the hole was and what direction you facing. As it was my first time playing here, I had to walk couple holes first to find the holes because the tee sign just wasn't making sense to me and you can't see the hole from the tee. It would be nice if the pictures looked more like a ball-golf layout. At least I could understand that. Some of the holes are near the park road so you may need to wait for traffic to pass before launching one.

This is a great course in the Altoona, PA area. I found it a little nicer than Valley View Park, but then again on a sunny, calm day in early fall, not much would be better than this place.

The park was hardly populated when I went on a Wednesday afternoon. It would likely be much busier on a weekend.

This course has great signs, tee pads, and baskets. It uses the woods that are near and around the park well. All of the holes are long enough to be "real holes" there are not any of those wide open 200 foot holes.

It is only 9 holes which kind of stinks. Other than that I can not really think of any cons that would prevent you from wanting to play this course.

This is a nice 9 holes course. It is in the middle of literally nowhere. I don't think I would recommend driving more than 25-30 minutes to play this course. But if you are in that range it is at a really nice park and a fun course.

Dual tees make it so you can play 18 holes on this nine hole course. Scorecards and maps are available at the kiosk. Great park to take the family and spend the afternoon or the weekend.

Even with the map it was a bit difficult to navigate between a few holes. We played on memorial day so the park was very crowded and a few holes had safety issues.

This is a beginner friendly course. It is great for the whole family.

Located just mintues outside of Altoona, Canoe Creek State Park has a beautiful 9 basket course. finding the course was easy once you got into the park via Canoe Creek Rd. Scorecards (with a course map on them) are located right beside the first teepad. The course offers two teepads for every hole (Red- Recreational and White- Pros). The Flypad tees looked brand new and were in excellent shape. The baskets were in top notch shape and easy to spot from the teepad. The course looks well maintained and trash free! Its a great course to introduce someone to disc golf, because of how flat it is and requires no finesse types of shots.

The teepads were not level, but they were usable. They're not too out of wack that you're going to brake an ankle, but they could use some stone underneath them to level up. Although the course was well maintained, it would be nice to see a trashcan at a few holes to help limit the litter on the course. The flight path signs behind the tee's could use a touch up. Even though this course is easy to navigate with the course map, next tee arrows at the bottom of the basket are always helpful. My biggest con is that it is not an 18 hole course! Eric Jon Keim did a wonderful job designing a 9 hole course for what he was giving, but hopefully in the near future the park will allow another 9 to go in.

Safety wasn't that much of an issue for me when I was there. The only ones out at the time I played were the guys fishing. I think the designer did a great job keeping the public in mind while designing the course. If I were to nitpick, I would say #1 (playing in between the parking lots and #4 (overthrows could end up in the road) were the two where safety could come into play. I wish the water was more of a factor than it was. if you overthrow #9 by 50' then it could be an issue of you, but other than #9, water doesn't come into play. There are tons of birdie capable baskets. #5 sticks out where its only 200' literally straight ahead of you with nothing in between.
I would definitely come back to Canoe Creek and I would encourage anyone thats in the area to check it out. Its a great course for the whole family to play!
