Great Disc Course! 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Great course to catch a lot of the obstacles of the game (i.e. downhill, uphill, multiple levels, lots of trees, etc.). Nice tee box cement slabs. Lot's of shade for the sunny hot days.

Cons:

Built in a city park so you need to watch out for people, cars on streets, etc.

Other Thoughts:

Played on a rainy day and still thought is was a great course. Would love to play again!

Good times 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 13, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great use of elevation where available, hole 5 drops down, then 6 is straight back up, 8 is interesting if you throw wrong, you'll end up in a hole throwing back up a retaining wall. Clean park, well maintained. A few of blind pins. Just enough trees to make it a challenge. Most holes force you to use a mid-range disc instead of just airing it out. Lots of full grown, mature trees for shade during play.

Cons:

Need to update signing as dual pins are still noted. Some picnickers like to get close to a few of the fairways. Navigating from hole to hole you have to walk through a few areas of play. A couple of holes near city streets, not a big issue, but I usually wait till all traffic passes. Can be busy on a good day.

Other Thoughts:

This is one of my favorite courses played to date. A descent challenge with only a few "hard" holes, unless you're picking the wrong disc. Good mix of new players and kids, intermediate, and upper level players. Always look forward to next opportunity to play this course. Always lots going on, leagues, doubles, tourneys.

a good park course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 8, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is a nice relaxing course to go play at. The park setting is well maintained and the course is well laid out. There is some good use of elevation on this course, for what elevation was available. A fun course, and I would go back and play it again.

Cons:

The cons I would give this is the lack of obstacles. It is a very open course with sporadic trees. Being in a park setting disc golfers also must cross paths with people just enjoying the park. There are a few times that the fairways go across or near a walking path.

Other Thoughts:

Despite being what I call a "Park course", which is an open course with not many obstacles and lots of non-disc golfers, it is a fun course and it is worth the stop. This course is also pretty beginner friendly, so feel free to grab a nooby friend and take them along.

Not Too Shabby! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 22, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This was a pleasant little gem to come across. This course used the trees and elevation in great ways. The tee signs were well done and navigation wasn't too bad. All the pins are now permanently in the long position; I was told this by some locals. There were decent cement tee pads on all the holes. This was a fun 18-hole course for the area. There were plenty of trashcans along the way.

Cons:

In my opinion, the par 4's should be 3's and the 5's should at the most be 4's. This is not an actual negative for the course, but it should be mentioned. There is a walking path that crosses through parts of the course. Many people seem to use it, but it did not seem to bother the golfers too much.

Other Thoughts:

The fun factor for me really went up on my second round at this course. I found myself looking forward to the next hole. It was also a great place to take someone for the first round. It was lots of fun for them

Nice course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 1, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

Long and short holes, nice setting, tees are in good shape.

Cons:

Movement of pins is not common, watch the signs for par (don't always line up in my opinion)
