Simple Course in Busy Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 6, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Plays pretty quickly with mostly short holes.
-For a 9-holer in a busy park, this course offers a good variety of throws and shots.
-Great tee pads and signs to help you navigate. A map will help, but for the most part it's not necessary. When you pull into the park, Hole 1 is on the far left side. Once you find it the course moves smoothly.
-Area is well kept. Grass is short. Baskets are visible from all tee pads.

Cons:

-The biggest issue is this course plays through a busy park. You may have to stop your game as a family full of toddlers runs though the middle of the lane. Most of the play grounds and other activities are far enough away that you don't have to worry about hitting anyone/anything, but this will definitely slow you down on a nice day.
-Hole 2 throws towards the parking lot. If the park is full, there will be a car in range of a slightly off shot for players who can throw 200 feet.

Other Thoughts:

Fun 9 hole course, but the amount of other activities lowers the reason to keep coming back. A good place for beginners though!

Nine in a multi-use park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 19, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The nice thing about the Troy Community Park disc golf course is that there are really good quality signs, and firm, level, concrete tee pads leading you to nine pleasant, lightly-treed park holes in the middle of town. Good for Recreational to Intermediate players in terms of hole distances (ranging from 225 to 420 feet in hole length), almost every hole gives you the option of several lines of attack, without being too demanding to hit a perfect line. You stand almost no chance of losing a disc here (unless you really grip lock something along the large river-retaining berm beside holes 1 & 6), and the good, level park isn't overly demanding to walk the course quickly in as little as a lunch break.

Cons:

The lack of elevation and big distance limits the 'wow' factor at Community Park, and the flow tends to be a little awkward (long walks between 2&3, 4&5, 5&6, and 8&9) because the course is shoehorned in amongst over a dozen shelters, play areas, tennis courts, and so on. The bulk of the tees (hole nine being the exception) are just adequate in terms of length (though they are generously wide). I would suspect that, on a nice spring day, you'd have to be very cautious about other park patrons.

The baskets are single-ring-of-chains DGAs, which means that, though the cage itself is deep, firm putts can cut through. I could not find a sign or tee pad for hole six on my two visits to town (though I admit I wasn't in town long, and both times, there was snow on the ground, so I might have walked right by it), so threw from approximately 420', as indicated online).

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice nine hole course, but it doesn't jump out at you with a signature hole to make it a must see or a destination course. It's awesome that the local community has a course, and would be a relatively nice leg-stretcher for the traveling disc golfer going up or down I-75. There is shade and play for the family, so I can imagine some players stopping here for a picnic lunch on a long trip.

newbie course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 24, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Clean. Fine for a quickie. I played it in 39 minutes. Some shot selection could vary for line practice.

Cons:

Short t pads but functional. Some baskets are for 3 foot children, not near PDGA ground to basket specs. Single chains. No sign for 6

Other Thoughts:

fine for a quickie but would not go out of my way, looks like it could be very busy in the summer.
