Very Nice Surprise 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 16, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Course is in EXCELLENT condition. Perfectly manicured park grounds, large concrete tee pads, relatively new baskets and signs.
-Some very fun, unique, and creative hole designs. Not what I expected based on pictures of the course.
-Course is designed to bring the creek into play on many holes.
-Very beginner friendly. Easy park access (tucked into a suburban neighborhood), no punishing rough, the creek is shallow enough that discs can easily be retrieved if thrown in, and the hole lengths tend to skew a little on the short side. Even the two "long" holes that are 400'+ are labeled as Par 4's, giving newbies a confidence boost.
-Not busy with other disc golfers. Nice place to practice if you're a local.
-Decent variety of distances.

Cons:

-Holes 2-6 are a little bland. They will improve as the trees mature.
-Course plays a bit too easy for serious golfers. This can be remedied by playing all bike paths as OB, and playing Holes 2 & 4 as long Par 3's rather than short Par 4's, and playing Hole 8 as an island green.
-Only 12 holes.

Other Thoughts:

This is a really fun little course. I've seen plenty of these neighborhood multi-purpose park courses, and frankly disc golf is an afterthought on most of them. Not so here. And kudos to the designer for not putting in a bunch of filler holes to try and get it to a full 18. It's a really nice, quick round as is.

Nice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 6, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

A nice, little challenge of a course for an older, beginner. Most of the holes require an accurate throw but are still reachable for par. Holes 2 and 4 offer the player a chance to throw a little farther.

Cons:

The park can be busy. There is a great climbing tree on the first hole that I've had to skip twice now. The kids just seem to love it. The last hole also seems to be a popular place for people to relax on.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not sure but it looks like there was a mando sign at the information board for hole number one. It is broken off now. It looked like the mando would have your throw going towards the parking lot. Not certain if I have the confidence in my throw to do that.
Otherwise, I try to find a little time to stop by here when in the area.

Good course with trees 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 15, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice set up on the course. Baskets are in great shape. Great signage on all tees. Concrete pads are really nice, little ruffed up so you don't slip if the pads are wet.

Like all the tees well parred for the distance.

Like the trees makes it a little harder course. Great tunnel shots with all the trees.

Great practice to work on your side arm throw.

Cons:

Wish it was an 18 hole course and not 12. You have to watch for people walking around remember it is a park for all people. There is some walking in between some holes in which I think that is ok, some people don't like that.

Other Thoughts:

Hardest holes are 1 and 9. 1 is guarded behind some big trees and 9 you have to throw big left to get over the creek or just lay up in the center.

Like I said signs are in great shape, but bring a map for you first time it helps.

Very good course with lots of trees.

I would like to give this course a 3.25.
Will play this course again.

Good Little Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 16, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course is set in a park that runs along a stream and the trees are well established making for some good obstacles. It's twelve holes and has a good variety of shots.

Cons:

On a busy day some of the holes will be taken up with little kids playing in the area. It can make for a hard throw or just skip the hole.

Other Thoughts:

It's a fun course to play and it isn't far from the freeway making it a nice little stop along the way home or during a drive.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 16, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Quick little 9 hole with some shots near a little creek. Hole 8 is fun, plays over the creek. Hole two mounds of dirt are gone but what should be the fairway looks like it has taken a beating by some tractors.

Cons:

Hole 6 seems tough if people playing at the park.

Other Thoughts:

This seems like a small spot that has been well utilized to throw a 9-basket course in at. If you live anywhere nearby its worth stopping in at. Make sure to look course layout over as tee 3 is not visible from basket 2, same with tee 7 from basket 6.

Dry Creek Trail 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 12, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Each tee has a concrete pad with a map and sign of information. It is a well-kept course with well-built holes. Never crowded.

Cons:

Only nine holes. The entire course is played along a fast-moving river, which could easily take your discs. Backyards do come into play on a few holes. There is a playground 100 ft past hole 6, that could be a problem if you overthrow (by 100 ft...) Entire course is narrow, which makes it difficult for beginners.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun 9-hole course that can be viewed from I-15 in Lehi. It has multiple par-4 holes, so it is not terribly challenging. It has OBs and Mandos, which adds to the difficulty, but even so the course is fairly easy. I personally wouldn't make a road trip just to play this course, but if you're in the area playing Art Dye or any Provo courses, it's worth the 5 minute detour off of the freeway. It's a fun course, but it won't challenge you much.

A little 9-hole gem 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 24, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Baskets- All in great shape
Pads- I really liked the tee pads here. It's that little scuff they give the cement to make it extra grippy.
Signs- Tee markers are very well done and there are plenty of "Next Tee" signs to help.
Parking-small lot and plenty of street parking, right by first tee

There are a a few holes (1, and 7-9 come to mind) that require some tricky technique to reach without getting into trouble.

Onsite potties (under construction and closed seasonally) will be a plus.

Cons:

A few of the holes (6, for example) are mostly wide open shots without much in the way of obstacles.

I can imagine if the park were a little busier than when I visited, you'd have frequent safety waits--due to tight quarters and the kids' playground.

Neighborhood on the west side of the park shouldn't come into play...but it's awfully close.

Course layout is a little tricky, but the onsite course map and abundance of tee signs and markers should be enough to drive away any confusion.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great little gem. Nine holes tucked between two neighborhoods in a little ravine.

Overall, this is a wonderful use of space and an example of how disc golf can be incorporated anywhere. Wish there was room for more than nine.

It wouldn't be challenging enough to play all of the time, but I'll definitely be back!

Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Good use of land and terrain, presenting obstacles suitable for intermediate players.

Cons:

Close proximity to some houses. Layout was somewhat confusing the first time around.

Other Thoughts:

All around fun course. Parts run along a creek, which when flowing is a real threat to carry off the disc of the careless. Bathrooms were being built during my visit. I will play this course again.
