Orange 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 7, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Baskets are bright and easy to see
-Nice park with other things to do here including; camping, real golf (free with gravel-ish greens), playground, shelter, tennis, etc. Seems to be well maintained.
-Course is pretty long overall for a park course but has a good variety of length too. A few ace runs and a few around 400'
-Good flow, signage and common sense can keep you following the right path
-Won't lose a disc here.
-Unless there are golfers out, you will not see many other park users. We were the only disc golfers on a friday afternoon as well.
-Signs were helpful

Cons:

-Not many trees or other obstacles on this course. Most throws are open with distance as the only challenge. No elevation change at all.
-I hate to hate on homemade baskets because they are unique and cool and probably took a lot of work. These are pretty typical for homemade except they let disc fall out of the basket! Other than that they are great, very sturdy.
-No tees, ground was fairly flat and grippy enough though.

Other Thoughts:

Disc golf is a good addition to this otherwise under-utilized small town park. A lot of effort went in to this park and I did enjoy playing it. They did what they could with the flat, tree-less land. There are plenty of courses in this area so you might as well make a day of it and play them all!

The orange baskets 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 2, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good signage. Several thechnical shots. A couple of longer holes. For the most part good baskets.

Cons:

The baskets were home-made and your disc WILL fall through the bottom. A couple of the shots run right next to the roadway of the park...watch for traffic. Several of the holes are just throws across a large open area where there is nothing in your way.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good course for beginners or the occasional rec player. Shouldn't lose any discs unless you get one stuck in one of the evergreens on hole 1. Be aware of your surroundings when throwing.

Interesting course to play with an empty park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 28, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good length off the tee on several holes.
- Clear, easy to find/use signage.
- Clearly identified (and visible) baskets with hole numbers on top.

Cons:

- Too many fairways that are immediately adjacent to (or literally crossing over) other park uses (tennis courts, other small fenced-in structures, etc.).

Other Thoughts:

It was an interesting course to play! I *strongly* disliked how many times one has to throw next to or over other park uses (in respect to individual safety), but if the park is relatively empty, it's fun. Someone is going to eventually break a window on that small building that is fenced in on Hole 8, however. Especially as a LHBH or RHFH player.
