Good park style course

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 3, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Two tee pads for every hole keeps it fun and interesting
- Concrete tee pads and Dynamic Veteran baskets in great shape
- Good use of elevation including the uphill hole 1 perched on an outcropping and the downhill hole 3 guarded by OB and trees
- Holes 5-8 are the most wooded section of the course and also play near the creek making disc angle when hitting the ground very important
- Roads and parking lot played as OB which makes the course more fun, challenging, and safe
- Good variety of right to left/left to right holes so it doesn't favor any throwing style too much
- even the more open holes like holes 8 and 9 have at least one tree near the basket or guarding the fairway
- Good variety of short and medium par 3 holes
- Excellent course for introducing people to the sport

Cons:

- Some holes even I can birdie which is to say they are very short
- Most holes are too short for advanced or pro players which limits the course to challenging only accuracy and shot placement
- Some are challenging and some more towards a gimme birdie
- A few strange transitions between holes leave you pulling out Udisc and in the old days traveling golfers would be roaming around searching for the next tee pad in many spots

Other Thoughts:

Earlier in the day I played the Eric McCabe designed Lake Durant DGC and the Lost Loksi DGC just north of here. I didn't do much research into this course as it was an after thought, basically I came here because it was close to the other two. I'm glad I did come here as the course was a bit of a surprise to me, much better than I had expected. A really well done 9 hole course as a 3 star rating for a 9 hole course from me is fairly high praise. If you're playing the other two I mentioned don't skip on this one! If you have limited time or want to cool down/warm up this is a good course for that.

Fun City Park Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 26, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Carl Albert is a newly redesigned course, which I have heard really improves the safety and overall play-ability of the course. The course does not really interfere too much with the walking trail as it was prior to the redesgin

The course has a little bit of everything within its 9 holes. It has water hazards that are fair. shorter more technical holes as well as longer, open holes. There is a little bit of elevation change as well.

The course has new Dynamic Disc baskets and colored tee signs plus small concrete tees. There are two course maps at different parts of the course depending on where you start at since hole 1 is a bit of a walk to start at.

Hole 5 and 6 were easily my favorite holes on the course. Hole 5 had a river on the left and the basket was tucked around the river. As a RHBH you need to throw a smooth overstable disc through the trees and get a good skip for a chance at a 2.

Cons:

The concrete tees were a bit silly. The were long enough, but they were only about a foot and a half wide.

It was not immediately obvious where some of the next holes were. I made a rough map uploaded here on DGCR that should make it easier to navigate by using it.

Hole 7 does have a little bit of walking path in it. Just beware before throwing that your throw is clear.

Other Thoughts:

This course was a lot of fun. There is a large amount of variety in it. It is a quick play and easy to get off from the highway, which is what I did.

Being the only course in the area, this is a great course to introduce new players to the game while still giving more experienced players challenge on every hole.
