I'm Thrilled I Didn't Get Ran Over By The Four-Wheeling Dudes! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Two Hispanic guys were roaring around the park on a quad. It would have been pretty easy for them to come roaring over a hill blind and grease a baby in a stroller or a disc golfer. Where are the cops when you need them?

Condor Park is a typical city park with a fishing pond in the center. The catfish weren't biting.

The course starts by the picnic pavilion. There is a nice Kiwanis Park Disc Golf sign. The course has a practice basket, empty kiosk, a golf rules sign and garbage can.

The course has decent concrete tee pads. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow band and number on the side. The baskets have this landscaped stone circle below them. It consist of 13 patio blocks placed in a circle. It looks really good and prevents the area below the basket from getting muddy or compacted. The tee signs are old school fiberglass ones. I can't believe that these have lasted as long as they have without being trashed. This seems like the kind of park that gets trashed at night.

Some of the holes have the water coming into play. It's off to the right on hole # 1. You're throwing over a small, wet area on # 3. And someone could possibly hyser into the wet area on # 5, I think.

I didn't think much of # 2 when you have to throw over the rough area and small trees. I had no clue where the basket was as I was standing on the pad ( with no sign).

# 7 is the signature hole here just because of the cool, well engineered, elevated tee pad. It even has metal steps leading up to it. The hole is just a fun little 224' with a baby hyser needed.

You need to stay below the tree branches on unite a few holes. The course loops right back to the parking lot.

Cons:

The course had too much litter thrown everywhere. I don't think it's from the disc golfers. I think it's from the other slobs who hang out here.

Lots of missing signs.

Hole # 1 was confusing as I thought the # 3 basket was the play.

Like many parks, this one probably gets busy at peak times forcing players to wait on people or possibly skip a hole, if needbe.

Crazies racing around on quads.

Other Thoughts:

This is a solid city park course. Reminds me of several thousand other similar city park courses. It has it's fun holes and it's stinker. If I lived locally, I'd definitely try to avoid peak times and play during the quiet times. It has it's charms although I wish it was a little cleaner. The litter everywhere kind of bummed me out.

Conder Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 14, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The park seems to have very good upkeep. The grass was mowed, the trees were trimmed, and the park was very clean. At about half of the holes, some very big, (and unforgiving) trees come into play. Given the size of the park, there is a very nice mix of shots. If you happen to live/work nearby, this would make a nice practice/lunchbreak course.

Cons:

The course, even though it is only nine holes, seems to be shoehorned into this park. Also, its not exactly in the best part of Killeen.

Other Thoughts:

It is a multi-use park, so watch out for bystanders!
