Enjoyable Little Beginner Course In An Urban Setting! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course plays in the park behind the Carver Recreation Center. It's not your typical area in which to install a disc golf course. The course itself plays mostly around a walking track which meanders through the park. There are two teepads for each hole, the Reds and the Whites. The White tees play a little longer and sometimes give you a slightly different look at the basket. Often, they're just 20-30' longer. There are great new signs for both giving the distance and par. The Whites are all rated at par 4's which means if you're so inclined, every white hole is an easy birdie and a definite eagle possibility. The Reds are all rated par 3's. The teepads are concrete and great. Great new baskets which point to the next teepad. The park is clean, litter free, with no signs of vandalism. Several baskets are just sitting in the middle of the grass with no obstacles around. White # 9 forces you to throw a hyser around some trees and there are maybe two holes where you need to keep your drive below the tree branches.

Cons:

It's a short, beginner course with just a slight bit of elevation, mostly wide open holes. The area around the course is sketchy.

Other Thoughts:

It's just an unusual place to build a course. I don't think disc golf is going to surpass basketball as the favorite sport in the inner cities. I played this course twice early in the morning and was quite comfortable playing at that time but I would be hesitant about playing there in the evening, especially alone. But it is fun racking up those eagles.

Great Beginner Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very open course making it an excellent course for the beginner. Having 9 holes is also another great way to get new players into the game. Can get in and play a quick round of 9.

Cons:

Tee markers are somewhat difficult to follow. The arrows don't necessarily point toward the pin. Being in a park you must watch for other users of the park.
