Park and Play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Better than most park courses, with some holes over 300'.
Some wide open holes offer good opportunity for practicing new driving technique.
Playing groups tend to be small or reasonable.
Park well-maintained and grassy.
New tees for #8 and #9 make the walk easier.

Cons:

New teeboxes for #8 & #9 are too small.
Roadway is the lefthand OB for holes #1-#3.
New locations for #8 and #9 make the course less challenging.
Many fairways are close to each other, resulting in a lot of criss-crossing.

A nice park to walk, a few trees makes in fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Clean park. Some trees makes for some challenge. Some holes go left, roller opportunity, hole 5 seems longer than advertised, can play holes 1-7 or 1-6 twice for a good quick play. Adequate parking. Course map on tennis court fence. Course in decent condition. Good for a mixed group out having fun.

Cons:

Bathroom was locked, water fountain shutdown, tees a bit small. Holes 7-8 a long walk there an back.

Other Thoughts:

Plenty of room for another 3 holes if City would allow it.

Solid Tune Up Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Good use of terrain
-Moderately varied shot selection
-Great map at 1st tee (also take away maps)
-Well maintained by the city

Cons:

-Holes 8+9 are frequently surrounded by sketchy crew.
-Holes 8+9 are also a trek from 1-7 (between this and the weirdos I usually skip these).
-Tee pads can be slippery
-holes 4-7 fold back on themselves, can be annoying during even medium traffic times.

Other Thoughts:

Great place to tune up some shots. LOTS of ace runs. Not worth a long drive, but great if you're in the area and want to get in a few rounds.

sweet 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 8, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great intermediate park. 9 holes, with plenty of parking and access. Now has Baskets. Great place for learning to drive with putters and midranges.

Cons:

sundays during the farmers market, holes 6 & 7 are not allowed to be played while market is there. Till about 1 or 2 pm i think. dogpark splits the first 7 holes from the last 2

Other Thoughts:

in the process of getting t-pads installed. was supposed to be last week, now on hold as of 4/21/2013

Nice effort. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 21, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Park is in pretty good condition.
- Designers did a lot with a small amount of space.
- All the holes are driveable with good form and/or power.
- I'm told it makes a nice night golf course, although I didn't do it myself.
- Not entirely flat and open, it takes some skill to get around the course efficiently.
- New baskets have been placed to replace the old poles.

Cons:

- I feel like the course was wedged into the park.
- A few holes bring outside dangers of damage into play. The road on to the left on 3 and the house/side road almost directly in play on 7 come to mind.
- The distance between holes 8 and 9, and the rest of the course, kinda sucks.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not a huge fan of courses with dirt teepads, especially ones that call for full-power shots sometimes.

Please note that I understand that they had to do well with what room and budget they had, and I did not factor that into the number score I assigned this place.

Hole 1 feels gimmicky to me, and presents the danger of either throwing into the road if you make a poor shot, or shooting into the tennis courts where you could strike an unsuspecting player.

It was a decent experience, and if I lived close, I would definitely play there again. I wish Schweitzer was still around so I could experience it, but alas, those times are behind us.

Good, Short, Simple, and Fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 23, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course has a simple but fun layout with most holes having numerous flight paths for you to take.

Cons:

Third hole could get you into trouble with traffic.

Other Thoughts:

Good place to practice and bring newcomers for a quick and easy round.
I actually like tossing at the wooden "baskets". I feel like it will improve my putting accuracy.
I think this course should be a model for new/under budget courses trying to take off. The designers did very well with what they had to work with.

Different, but fun :-) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 21, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Obstacles abound
Varying shots, many with hard turns
Nothing too long if you are a short thrower
Didn't see any other disc golfers

Cons:

Very busy
Lots of people walking through the course
Some of the obstacles are buildings and cars, which can be damaged
Tee type is... different
Near impossible to find the tees without a map

Other Thoughts:

Thought it was a very fun course, though had to play it safe because I went at a very busy time. I really liked the holes, though the "baskets" took a while to get used to.
