Deming Park is a huge park with some gentle hills and old trees. The course here makes excellent use of the land on one edge of the park, without crossing walking trail or the road that loops through. It's easy to see from the road; you'll drive past the whole course and park at hole 1 on one end of the one-way loop.

What I really like about the course is the ample room you have. It plays in a loop on what is kind of narrow piece of land, but it hugs the woods for a while on your way down the loop, and only gets close to the road a couple times on the way back. The fairways are wide enough to be plenty fair, but you have to choose which way to navigate some big trees, hit the gaps way down the fairway, or make the dogleg sometimes. The only rough is the barriers of trees and overgrowth bushes that makes the boundary of the park. If you hyzer out early, or overthrow a basket, you may end up in it but otherwise there's no real risk of ever losing a disc.

There's plenty of up and down hill shots, but not so many you get tired of walking. It's a very natural flow that seems to create a balance where the hole is not just designed that way because of the elevation, but it's just a nice bonus.

The tee pads are concrete. A little small, but they get the job done. Same with the signs- not the prettiest, but they're informative and accurate. I think some holes may have had alternate tees put in, but I could have just been misreading, or misremembering. I'm not putting it in the cons though so don't really worry about it.

What I will put in the cons is the baskets. They are these lime green Chainstar-knock-offs. A few of my putts were just barely caught, and honestly I'm surprised I didn't get a ton of spit-throughs. They just look like they can't catch much.

This course seems to have been designed back in the day when everything was a 3. Some of the holes are easy 2's, some challenging 2's, and some very challenging 3's. Like, you need an accurate 450' drive for a 2. I don't mind the "all-par-3" courses, but i think this course would be a little better if they push the 'tweeners forwards or backwards for a clearer par 3 or 4.

There's nothing incredibly outstanding on this course, but also nothing that really stands out as a huge fault. I was very happy to pull over and play this course on my road trip, and honestly kind of want to do it again if I'm ever in the area. It was a fun course.

I also like courses like this, the ones that are clearly more aged in design, because they do carry a sense of the history of the sport and its evolution. If you watch disc golf now, you see courses with monster holes, epic shots, looong holes, OB, water hazards, elevated baskets, and all this extra stuff. I don't mind those when used to augment a course's playing experience, but this is the down-to-earth playing style the sport was planted in and grew out of. Deming Park is like the old wise man of disc golf, it's like playing an N64- yes, we have moved on and things have gotten cleaner, faster, prettier. But it just feels good to always have something old and familiar to go back to, and to remember how we started.

Variety of throws required - get to use a lot of discs in your bag.
A few very interesting hole layouts.
Moderate signage.
Generous par ratings make you feel good about your game.
Good concrete pads.

A few holes lack signage.
Generous par ratings remind you that they were set 30 years ago.
Baskets are a bit oddly shaped - particularly on the top.

I enjoyed this course. Definitely worth playing if you haven't.

The course is in one corner of a giant park with scattered mature trees and rolling hills. Most of the holes have at least a little elevation to add interest and difficulty. There aren't many wide open holes, most play through scattered trees with denser woods off some of the fairways. Most of the pins were protected by trees, and used the available trees well to create interesting lines.

The park is beautiful with nicely manicured grass on most fairways, and beautiful older trees. The tees were concrete, and most were in fine shape. There were accurate tee signs on each hole, with all the various pin placements marked with distance. The alternate placements made for very different shots, and would change the course up quite a bit. The course was very well marked, and easy to follow with no real navigation issues.

There are some holes that are definitely aceable, but most will reward good accurate tee shots and punish errant drives. The trees create interesting canopies and windows that make most of the holes more difficult than expected given the relative openness of the course.

The park was full of other activities and tons of people, but the course was designed so that it completely avoided other park users. Despite a huge number of pedestrians throughout the park, none were wandering around on the course or disrupting play.

I love multiple pin placements, but when they are there I want to see a way of marking which locations the pins are in. This could be as simple as posting the current locations at the beginning of the course or marking in grease pencil on the tee signs.

The course was very biased toward RHBH hyzer shots, it would have been nice to see a little more variety. Though the course didn't feel repetitive, it also didn't really test different kinds of shots, or play as fair for a left handed or forehand player.

This course is a great beginner course, with no real chance of losing discs and generous fairways for shorter throwers. More experienced players will find this course fun, but not terribly challenging, though accuracy is required to deuce many of the holes.

This is the best course in the area, so stop by and play if you're anywhere near. Definitely worth a little bit of a drive to get here and play a fun round in a great park.

While on a recent trip up to Indiana I had the joy of playing this course. It is very well maintained, the grass is cut and the concrete tee pads are pour into a trapezoid which points to the basket. The signs were good, all except one which was a replacement, show the possible lines you should take, along with next pad location in relation to the basket. There are big trees that require you to bring a technical game if you want to throw a < 54 round. There are also some nice hill which to a flatlander was nice change.

Course par is 72. There are many < 300' holes that are par 4's and two par 5's that were under 500'.

This course is fun to play with a much lower chance of loosing a disc. There is only wood off to the left of 1 or 2 holes. I think this course should be labeled as a beginners course, well with the par being 72. I could see being a local playing it as a 54 and having a negative round.

Situated in a beautiful park. Mature trees are the norm here. Leaving plenty of room for shots but enough obstacles to make things interesting. Three pin locations on every hole make things even more interesting if you play the course often.

Course is in great shape. Good signs and a concrete tee pad on every hole make this course easy to navigate if you are a first timer or out of towner as I was.

Maybe a little to simple and repetitive on the last few holes that follow the road back to the parking area.

Tough to find the course itself as the park it is in is huge.

I would call this a must play if you are in the area. Nothing to spectacular here but is definitely a very enjoyable course. Another plus is there are not many places to lose discs.
