Pros:

All essentials- concrete tees, 9 baskets plus a practice basket, effective signs, course map at kiosk. Plenty of parking.

I have played many of these basic city park 9-holers. What makes this one stand out is its length, and a good spread of nearly every distance between 250' to 475'. Mostly open gives newer players a chance to work on distance and understanding disc flight without being punished or losing a disc. And there are just enough trees and a small creek to make it interesting.

The last 3 holes also use elevation as an added challenge. Throw in the wind I had to deal with and this course played harder than it looked.

Cons:

Design makes the most out the available land, but is clearly divided- 6 flatter holes on one side of the ball fields, a walk, then 3 more holes with some incline on the other side, then a moderate walk back to the car.

No holes were super memorable just your basic city park stuff.

Other Thoughts:

I always recommend taking a picture of the map, but be sure to pay attention where holes 7-9 are as they are separated from the first 6 a bit

Appropriate small city 9-hole park style course. And a bonus is that that it is very close to another 9-hole course less than a mile down on the same street that is more a technical wooded city park course, making these two 9's a good complement to each other for 18 unique holes.

2.5 is average, nothing outstanding, but definitely has everything you need. I have it about 2.25, but give it a bump because there are no gimmees and there is a another 9 holes just a minute drive down the road.

Pros:

Very nice park with lots of parking. Hole #1 was very easy to find as were all of the other tees/holes. Brand new concrete pads and Innova Discatchers and a well manicured area make this more than just a walk in the park.
Hole #1 is mostly straight but watch out for the OB just to the left. #3 is the long hole and it ends with the basket tucked into a few oak trees. Hole #9 is the fun shot. You can either try to flick way out to the left and come back in shallow or go directly at it through a couple of pine trees with low hanging branches. Tough hole in anybody's book.

Cons:

Of course just 9 holes isn't all that good. I didn't like the back and forth in the field shots of #4 5 and 6. The walk from #6 to 7 pad was quite long but it is flat and there are trees and portapoties. When there is soccer and baseball going on this might put a damper on the disc golf. If there is wind on #9 your disc could go into the baseball field to the right.

Other Thoughts:

Really nice park that you can bring the kids to and make an afternoon or a day of it. You have another 9 holer just down the road less than two minutes away so you can make a trip to Calvert City and still play a full 18 holes. I wish my small town had just one of the two courses that Calvert City has.
