Three years since last review 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 16, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- good use of public park space
- two blind shots add intrigue
- couple of longer holes
- potential for water hazards during the right time of year (yes, pro!)
- a couple of pedestrians on perimeter sidewalk but no one using park for disc golf or otherwise; a bit surprising on a sunny Sunday morning, but my wife reminds me it could be a church thing

Cons:

- several signs in need of repair, others showing their age
- using a little more of the land on the south end could lengthen some holes
- tee box headers
- could use a map online just for orientation, especially for the alternate tees

Other Thoughts:

As it has been three years since the last review, I was surprised to find the course still as described. Very nice use of a seemingly unused park, just in need of some TLC. Perhaps some local merchant sponsors of each hole, or a local disc golf association with $10 annual dues. What do I know, I'm just traveling through from California and happy to find such pleasant courses along the way!

Decent Course 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

I loved holes 3 and 7 because they were different than the others. #3 is a blind shot over a hill, and #7 is a blind shot around one of the huge clump of evergreen trees found on the course. The course had a good amount of different holes so it didn't get boring. I also liked the alternate tee pads. I don't usually see those. The trees were all big with high branches so there wasn't much of a chance to get your disc stuck in them. The course flowed well and I had no trouble finding the baskets or the next tee sign. There wasn't any playground equipment, sidewalks, picnic areas, etc. on the course so it looks as if you won't be bothered very often by non dg players.

Cons:

There were more short holes than long which made the course less challenging. There was a little drainage ditch running right through the middle of the course and looks like it could turn into a mud pit if it ever rained. Although I didn't play the alternate tees, I did look for them and many were difficult to find. Smitcraft did do a good job explaining them though, if you take the time to print off his review and bring it with you.

Other Thoughts:

Although the little tiny ponds were easy to fish your disc out of, they were also very murky and could be difficult to find. It's a decent course for its size. Holes 8, 9, 1, and 2 go north and holes 3,4,5,6, and 7 all go south so the course makes a big oval.
