Minor improvements at CMS course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 7, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. Green tee signs and directional arrows have been recently added to help locate the tee markers (landscape timbers set nearly flush with the ground).

2. A mando sign has been added to Hole 4 requiring a shot to pass to the inside of the guidewire and utility pole.

3. OB signs are posted along the track fence.

4. Recently construction at the school removed a chilling station for the school AC unit and surrounding fence which used to require a forehand flick or anhyzer shot. A short hyzer shot is now possible.

4. This short 6-hole course is an easy-to-play course for beginners.

5. Intermediate or advanced players might consider this course for practice drives on the open fields.

Cons:

1. There is no shade anywhere on the course.

2. No obstacles

3. Multi-use area (soccer, rugby, lacross, basketball...) gets quite a bit of use by the community when the school teams are not practicing so you have to be wary of foot traffic when playing, especially Hole 2 fairway where joggers and walkers enter/leave the track.

4. Hole 2 and Hole 3 baskets are fairly close to the track fence and a wayward shot could easily drift over the fence onto the track... especially on windy days causing a hazard to unwary joggers/walkers.

Other Thoughts:

On a course designed for PE classes, the 1st hole tee box will usually be near the PE class entrance/exit doors...not by the parking lot. Wide-open fairways with no obstacles are boring and not at all challenging for more advanced players but not for typical 6th-grade middle school PE kids, many who are under 5'0" and 80 lbs! These types of courses often have no obstacles because the school property lines barely extend beyond the playing fields (as does at CMS).

Bad School Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 22, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is easy to find at the school. You can see most of the baskets from the parking area. The baskets are brand new DisCatcher baskets plus they have numbers on all of the baskets!

Allegedly, there are tees sunk into the ground to make this an actual course, so if you are able to find them, then good on you and bump this rating up maybe .25 stars.

Cons:

Disc golf courses on school campuses are notorious for being plain bad, and this one may be the epitome of bad school courses.

Even if the tees were easy to spot and navigation made sense at this course, there is not a single obstacle of note beyond the chance of throwing over the fence onto the football field.

The basket to hole 1 is far from the other five baskets, making playing basket to basket impossible unless you want to play a 1,000' hole. Speaking of baskets, hole two basket sits about 15' from the school building and sidewalk, which can present some safety risks though if school is in session, you aren't playing here anyways.

Other Thoughts:

I'm tired of bad school courses. There is so much potential to generate interest in young people through having decent courses on the school property. I'm not saying that it needs to be a top-tier course, but having visible tees and a few obstacles definitely should be mandatory.

One mile away, Riverwood Middle School has a great course that is perfect for young people, but Creekwood completely misses the mark in all aspects besides some top-of-the-line baskets that are being wasted in purgatory.
