Pros:
The course is part of a multi-use park facility along with baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, public pool, and walking paths. Course is likely intended for beginners and children.
-There are posts with maps and accurate distances at each tee area. Tees are grass/dirt and still in pretty good shape
-quality baskets with flags on top and sign pointing to the next tee make it easier to navigate
-mix of tight shaping and open holes
-several ace run opportunities
Cons:
-many holes seem to be simply squeezed into small unused areas of the larger park. Disc golf was definitely not in the original plans. Seems congested and forced
-I don't think many people in the neighborhood even know the course is there. most other park users were unaware of the potential of flying discs
-even with the 'next tee' signs on baskets, navigation is confusing. Found myself walking in circles a couple times.
-this course plays very short and will not present much challenge or excitement for better players.
-as most have noted, holes 4, 5, and 6 play through a wooded area that is totally overgrown. had to search through thick brush, weeds, bushes to find a disc not even 5 feet from a basket. people who are not used to watching or finding discs have a good chance of losing one in these holes.
Other Thoughts:
I played Community Park on a weekday morning so there were not many people using the other parts of the park. I could not imagine trying to play here on a weekend or night over the summer with baseball tourneys and practice, swimming, and other activities that the city of Palos hosts here. Consider playing elsewhere during peak baseball hours (I think I counted 6 or so ball fields on the property, and I know they all can have games at once)
Anybody looking for a challenging course should look elsewhere, but those trying for a quick 9 or to bring a young buck or first-timer should give Community a try at least once.
Below average course, but good enough to get me to go back.... eventually
