Pros:
-This is a pitch and putt 9 hole course, a descent player should end up around -6 after playing the blue course.
-Lots of ace runs and deuce chances.
- Some elevation to play with, one shot has you shooting down a small hill, one shot has you shooting up a small hill through tight trees.
-You can bang this 9 holes out in about 20 minutes.
-Cement pads in good shape.
-Trash baskets on most every hole.
-Good baskets although some are getting old, they work fine.
-simple, easy to follw layout, if you get lost here your probably retarded.
-Tee signs on most holes (old and ratty but still have some valuble info on them)
Cons:
-Gets very very busy, this is one of grandrapids busiest courses. A line of 30 people waiting to tee off is not unusual, IM SERIOUS!!
- This park is known for being rowdy and packed with "rowdy,drunk,trashy" people. I guess thats what happens when the park allows and encourages alchohol. (huge sign at entrance used to read: ALCHOHOL ALLOWED) Seems a lot of people come here just to party and not so much to disc golf, that kinda sucks.
-Not really a kid friendly setting, lots of cussing and yelling and drunk trashy idiots in Def Leopard shirts with the sleeves torn off to keep your kids away from here.
-Come here early in the morning if you want smooth flow to your play, after the afternoon you will most likely be stuck behind groups of 10 people taking their time and not letting anyone play through. The course gets really jammed up. You might be able to play all 36 holes in 1.5 hours in the morning and it will take you 5 hours in the evening because of traffic.
Other Thoughts:
This is a 36 hole park. It offers 4-9hole courses. The blue is the shortest and easiest of the 4 to play and thus 95% of noobs will gravitate to playing the blue course. Alchohol is allowed and oddly enough encouraged. There are a few bums who follw you around and sweep off tee pads and tell you how awesome a player you are until you give them a dollar or two to go away so be ready for this. This park is where my league (dogs of disc) usually plays so I have played here a lot. If you came here and played all 36 holes you would have a good time, if you came here to play just 9 holes you would probably laugh to yourself and never come back again. This is an average course for any good golfer. You should end up being about minus10 for 36 holes if your a descent player.
