Pros:

A good use of the available space in a busy park. Multiple basket positions at almost all holes, and concrete teepads in place(but they could be a little longer). Not too difficult or long, so beginners can enjoy, and not too easy to lose a disc here.

Cons:

A very difficult course to get the full enjoyment out of , due to the HEAVY usage of the park for any number of other activities. Have had to wait during numerous rounds there for organized walks/runs. Always mountain bikers in the park, to the point that one basket had to be moved as the bikers were damaging it. Summertime and any evening also brings with it cookouts and people on blankets, so a spotter required in a lot of places. The tenth hole plays directly along side an archery range, so that's another group of people to avoid hitting with an errant shot.

Other Thoughts:

The course is a decent one, the issue is finding a time to play when your round isn't being repeatedly delayed for picnickers et al. Unless it's the dead of summer, be prepared to get you feet either wet or muddy. Bug spray a must

Nice little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 25, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Good location for those of us in the city - easy to access off the DVP -> just park behind the Science Centre (Gateway blvd)

- Offers short, but fun "executive-style" 18 course that's well maintained and offers a little bit of variety & elevation

- Public park with proper tee pads, good baskets and lovely, new way-findings thoughtfully created by local players

- No fees! Just show up and throw - friendly locals - easy-going vibe, some surprisingly beautiful flora & fauna

Cons:

- some iffy positions, specifically basket #10 along the archery range (which looks cool, but invites humiliation)

- some weird beetles killed off a bunch of the trees, which significantly altered this course and left it much easier to play

In the summer indifferent pick-nickers have a tendency to do events right on some of the holes - very frustrating!

Other Thoughts:

- this course is ideal for beginners and most amateurs -> if a challenge is what you're after, try throwing the Island instead

- the course design tucks away baskets here and there, so it can be a little tricky to navigate (just download the course map first)

Solid course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 21, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Very good course for beginners as there is a lot of space.
New signs and teeboxes are great. Really help with navigation.
Wooded holes are awesome!

Cons:

The space mentioned above takes away from the overall feeling of the course. You are playing disc golf in a park rather than on a disc golf course.
Hole 10 is hard to find and doesn't have a tee box or sign.
Have to spend a lot of time asking people to move during peak hours.

Eglinton Ave. East & Leslie 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Clean and Simple layout.
- Convenient Location in central Toronto: Getting to the Island is tough, requires parking, boat time both ways and $ to park and pay boat fare. Centennial is run down with missing baskets, poor/no signage and few launch markers. ET Seton Park finally gives mainland Toronto a good location to throw.
- Fairly Challenging: The use of shooting between and under treet canopies makes you stop and plan each shot.
- Dualies: there are 2 basket positions for each hole.
- Quality: Word is there are plans for dual launch spots, and for installation of concrete tee pads.
- The "into the woods" hole: loved the hole that shoots into the woods and 15 feet uphill. A nice challenging holeshot that can drop you a shot if you miss your drive.
- Bathrooms and water fountain: The real deal after you make the turn at 6 to come back. Not common and very nice to empty the tank and refill your water bottle.
- Wild in Toronto: The Don River, totally tree enclosed, alot of great birds and nature down the center of the city. Absolutely beautiful.
- The Baskets: I have never seen higher end Discraft baskets before - impressive.

Cons:

- No signage: currently (July 4 2011) no signage whatsoever aside from small red discs at launch points. Baskets are numbered though. Until signed, you need a guide or a map if you can find one. There is no indication which way the next basket is launched from, and which basket to throw to, which is annoying until signs get put in.
- Limited geography: there is slight/some ups and downs and sparse tree-age. But Complements to the designer for maxing out each hole's use of trees to force you to show your skills throwing under, around and over tree/branches.
- The hole that is way out over the parking lot (14?) is odd. The pavement is OB and I can only describe it as unusual. Having said that, I enjoyed that I parred it. Points for the challenge. Minus for weirdness.
- The firing range: What if one of your discs crosses over the fence and hits an archer in the head? Will those dudes with bows and arrows snap and go postal? They freak me out. I mean I do not carry a shield when I play disc golf. I recommend taking a shield on this course or at least be prepared to run away if your disc goes over the archery field fence.
- Cyclists: very annoying. They'll kill you if they hit you.

Other Thoughts:

- Keep your head on a friggin' swivel when near the bike path. There are fast flying road bicycles flying by that will put a dent in your head.
