Pros:
The Commons is a brand new park complex that more resembles an expensive resort than a park. People pay hundreds of dollars a day to hobnob in properties such as this. The grounds are really that extravagant. What park's department has these kinds of funds available?
Unfortunately, the disc golf course can't stand up to these high standards. I guess you choose to call your course a championship course, I expect championship quality. If you can throw a consistent 350' hyser, you'll nail this course. There's so many opportunities here to just throw it out over the water and let it hyser back for you.
The course has two tee pads at each hole. The hole information is painted on the pad and as always, it's wearing off and becoming difficult to read. There is a practice basket at the beginning. The baskets are Discatchers with always hard to read red numbers plus a flag on top which helps with spotting them from a distance.
There are quite a few challenging and scary holes here, # 18 being one of the shorter ones, where the basket sits on this island surrounded by marsh grass. I would think that one scary aspect of this hole is where the marsh ends and the dry land starts. I think # 13 was my favorite or signature hole here. It's just 199' from the Reds, but plays down a palm lined fairway with multiple routes available for you. It was a pleasant change of pace hole here.
Cons:
The red pads aren't quite long enough and some are raised just enough where it's difficult to get a proper run-up. A championship course needs championship tee pads.
A previous reviewer, NightRavenKW, stated that just placing a basket or a pad near water doesn't make it difficult and I agree completely.
Most of these holes felt the same. If you can throw straight and fairly long, you can score well here.
Windy combined with water wii be challenging.
Not for the casual rec player. Not beginner friendly.
Too open with little shaded area. It will be sweltering on those summer days.
Other Thoughts:
This is such a lovely park that it's hard to disparage the course. Every reviewer points this out but still gives the course a 3.0 or a 3.5 or a 4.0. I'll give the park a 4.5. It's spectacular. I will deduct .5 for lack of elevation.
However, the championship disc golf course is more on the average side, IMO. I'll cave and reward it with a 3.0 with the caveat that I wouldn't be inclined to return here and play it.
