New Design = Fantastic! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 17, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

- The course plays along a creek and around a large pond
- Two sets of tees and basket positions
- Large tee pads
- Fun holes, challenges a variety of shots
- Good signage
- Modern baskets (if you played the old ones, you know!)
- vastly improved challenge from original design

Cons:

- Parks dept hadn't cut a lot of the grass when I was there which was the most annoying thing ever. Had to skip a couple of holes to avoid searching for my disc on a fairly simple shot. I'm sure this isn't the case for most of the year, and I have played the course when it was well groomed, so I'll chalk it up to a rainy spring and the parks guys not prioritizing the disc golf course over the soccer and baseball fields, picnic areas etc.
- Although it didn't come into play while I was there on a Monday afternoon, I could see how picnicers could easily be all over the course. I imagine weekend play could be really annoying, but I'm not 100% on that.

Other Thoughts:

Played both the longs and shorts and I have to say, the re-design is excellent and needs to be reflected in the reviews. Despite the picnic people and the long grass, I'll give the design and fun factor a 4. If they were both an issue ALL the time, I might give it less. So, if you're travelling to T.O., definitely worth a visit.

Well thought out 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 23, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

I like how the course is laid out. Using the creek in creative ways, many baskets require serious strategizing, especially the blue tees.

Cons:

The first nine seem to be much harder than the last nine. Very difficult to par some of the blue baskets...more like par 3.5

Other Thoughts:

The rating of this course is inaccurate because of the ratings from before the upgrade.

Many changes for the better!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 5, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A ton of changes to the course design. VERY different from the layout shown on the map. Now 18 holes (down from the 27 hole course that was here for decades) and a change for the better in my opinion. New baskets for past year, plus new concrete pads going in now, in addition to the few concrete pads that were re-uses from the old design. Two shots across water, and a couple more that require shots fairly close to water. A nice combination of shots under tree cover, combined with a few open holes where you can let loose!

Cons:

Pretty darn windy at times. In fact, it can be so windy in the fall and winter, that holes 6 and 7 are relocated to alternate tee and basket positions! Plenty of joggers, dog-walkers, people laid out on blankets, and students from the adjacent school, any weekday after 3 pm when the weather is nice. Even had to skip the first hole once when a yoga class decided to set up shop right in from of the tee!!

Other Thoughts:

Overall, a really enjoyable course, as long as you're not blocked by the aforementioned "other" park users. Close to two major highways, and a few choices of places to park, so access isn't a problem unless it's rush hour.

One of Greater Toronto's best 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 22, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

- The new and improved course is now one of the best in the GTA. Also has a long history, going right back to the 80's.

- New course features awesome, large concrete tee pads, beautiful signs, new baskets, plus short and long positions.

- At long last, the community of golfers and the city of Toronto made some magic happen!

- Great location for anyone with a car who lives in the GTA - proximity to highway makes it easy (if you avoid rush hour).

Cons:

- During the summer, this particular area becomes infested with all kinds of picnickers and other happy ne'er do wells.

- High winds in this area of the park, so wear your diapers.

Other Thoughts:

A great option for those of us who live in Toronto. Some long, technical holes combined with mildly sinister water hazards makes for a great round.
