City Disc Park reviews

Decent church course 2+ years

Played the course:once
Pros:
City Disc Park plays at a church on a big piece of their land that does not seem like it is used for anything but disc golf. There is an exclusive, gravel parking lot for disc golfers, which is a nice touch.
There are concrete tees, nice tee signs, brand new Discatcher baskets and a course map near hole one. There was a lot of work and money put into the course, which is good as church courses can be done pretty poorly.
I felt the design was as good as you could make it given the land available. There are a few more technical holes and an island hole, hole 7. Any intermediate level player should play fairly well here and shoot under par. There is not enough rough or obstacles or length to really create bogey opportunities.

Cons:
The designated parking lot is right next to tee 9, which is a bit of a walk to hole 1. Play hole 9 then walk over to hole 1 if you want to utilize that parking lot.
The middle party of the course was a bit boring, I felt. Hole 4-6 were wide open. Hole 4 and 5 are basically the same fairway just throwing from opposite directions; you never like to see that. There are little obstacles on these three holes, which is a significant amount of holes on this short 9 hole course.

Other Thoughts:
This course severely missed my expectations. It could be due to a higher rating when I found and played this course, but there really is nothing special to see here. I always appreciate the work and money put in to create a course with amenities such as the good folks at City Park Church, but due to the lack of variety in the landscape here, the course misses the mark just a tad.

Pros:
-- Makes good use of the available land.
-- There is a practice basket between holes 9 and 1 that now has a natural tee so that you can play it as a 10th hole.
-- I was told in 2018 that a pro shop would open on site once discs arrived, but when I went in June 2019, the associate pastor who spearheaded the course was off site with the youth group, and the lady in the office knew nothing about it. That building then underwent a major renovation; there is no evidence they have ever had discs for sale.
-- There is a bathroom and a water fountain inside. The building (the church rec center) is open normal-ish business hours.
-- The Innova baskets are in good shape.
-- The concrete tee pads are good and generally long enough.
-- Trash cans and benches are not at every hole, but there are plenty scattered throughout the course.
-- There is a very nice course map by tee #1.
-- As for the holes themselves, #7 looks as if it is intended as a mando island, but the tee sign still does not say so. It also has an elevated basket. No. 8 is a tunnel shot (not overly narrow, but I missed the fairway both times on my first visit) that will punish you with severe rough on either side of the fairway. Water is in play on holes 8 and 9.
-- Most holes give you options for routes to the basket, so the course doesn't really favor any particular style (RHBH, etc.).
-- Tee signs are nice but don't have a map of the hole. Not really a big deal since you can see the basket from the tee on 8 of 9 holes. The tee signs also have bag hooks.

Cons:
-- There isn't much elevation change.
-- Holes 4 & 5 basically share a fairway (back and forth), so you might end up either watching someone throw a tee shot right at you or holding them up while you throw your approach. An overthrow to the 5 basket could land in the 6 fairway. A RHFH from #3 tee could easily land in the #4 fairway.
-- The middle part of the course is a kind of open, with just a few trees, and comes pretty close to the interstate. The walk from hole 9 to 1 (or 1 to 9, depending on where you start) is kind of long, but the 10th hole (playing to the practice basket) breaks that up nicely.

Other Thoughts:
-- The church staff is VERY nice. They are mostly new to the sport, but they are learning and want to make this a place where everyone can enjoy disc golf.
-- There is a dedicated parking lot for disc golf. No. 9 tees from that lot, so lots of people start with No. 9, then play the 10th hole, followed by 1-8. No. 8 ends right at the disc golf parking lot.
-- The small wooden bridge crossing the creek/ditch on No. 9 is was starting to rot, but it has been repaired.
