This Course is Awesome 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 6, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Superb park. Best maintained park I've ever been to. Very, very nice neighborhood
+ Two tees and pin positions for every hole
+ Excellent use of pond and streams
+ Someone might mail your water discs back
+ Like two different but great 9 hole courses in one

Cons:

- Looks like some drainage issues on the wooded holes. Swampy around 7 and 8.
- The flow is a little weird from 5 to 6 and 9 to 10.
- One house, left of 17 obviously doesn't like anyone going into their yard at all to retrieve discs. There are trespassing signs on each post of their fence, so don't hyzer out over there and respect their property.
- Challenging to spot some blind baskets on first play

Other Thoughts:

Just a casual thrower currently that plays every other week or two, but when I get a chance to go somewhere new I try and find a new course to bag. This was a great choice. You can really tell the person that designed and maintains this course put a lot of love into it. The tree's are more mature than you will find in the pictures here currently. This is the first course I've been to that really made me wish I could throw a roller. So even though there isn't a lot of elevation change, it plays nicely to a variety of shots. Wind can be a factor here also. The Buffalo grass makes sense and isn't too thick (in most spots) that you'll spend more time looking for your discs than playing. The rest of the grass close to the park shelter makes me straight jealous as a home owner. Dillon Park really sets a high standard for newer courses. Well done.

Best in Indy area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 5, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well manicured , beautiful area, favorite so far in Indianapolis area. Blue tees make this a challanging course with a nice variety of shots. No extremely long holes but several approaching 400. Excellent signs, good tees and very fun. Water in play on four holes but not really a concern except on hole 1 ( watch the disc's role) and I believe 9. Once the grass grows back up fairways will make this a more challanging course.

Cons:

None that i have seen so far but have only played twice,

Other Thoughts:

If you don't like the areas that washington, brookeside, or Northwestway are located in or don't like the traffic then this is an excellent place for you. There is a walking path but this was not a problem at all when I played.

Great Course, 2 personalities 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

One of the best courses in Indiana. Requires real golf course management. Hitting lines, shaping shots, and placing the disc to set up second shots take a higher priority than pure crush.
Challenging water hazards require control on some holes and power on others, some holes require both. Good variety of holes both distance wise and placement wise. Some holes have moderate foliage, others are wide open. Well groomed and taken care of. Facilities available on course as well as several water fountains, plenty of parking, out buildings, BBQ pits, plus a practice tee. A great place to spend the day with friends and family.

Cons:

Cons: WHO CUT THE GRASS!!!!!! What would have been added in as a big Plus is now a BIG Con, along the back nine where there used to be 4-6' grass around most holes and fairways, there is now none. The grass is my opinion acted to make this back nine more challenging and more aesthetically pleasing as well. Without the grass in place the back nine is somehow missing something. PLEASE LET THE GRASS GROW BACK :(

Other Thoughts:

A good degree of control and/or power is required to stay out the water on some of the holes, good for beginners or avid players alike due to the multiple tee box's. Can be crowded, but overall everyone there is nice and friendly. Easy place to lose a disc or two. A big thumbs up and a thank you to those of you that volunteered your time to make this course possible, Great job!
