Reviewed: Played on:Jun 24, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Well maintained fairways
-Proximity to other activities, such as bbqing or other park fun.

Cons:

-Abysmal layout. We couldn't find tee 1. Played holes 2-4 then got lost on 5. Ended up giving up and going to a different course.
-Short, easy shots. Not much difficulty here. There are a few water hazards that are fun, but not a lot here.

Other Thoughts:

You might as well play it if you are in the area, but don't take a trip there! It's not worth it! And bring a map or course guide if you want to find the full course.

Pros:

I love east park. A couple good holes. hole 4 is pretty tough in the trees.

Cons:

Well where do i start? the course is poorly put together. In the summer there is goose crap every where. Which is pretty annoying. Catchers are old and need to be replaced.

Other Thoughts:

East park has a lot of potential. If they tore out the old course and redesigned a new one through the whole park? this would be ideal.

Beginner's Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 6, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very easy course for a beginner. Baskets are easy to find. Most holes have concrete pads.

Cons:

Wide open area. Too easy. Can usually make it in the basket in 3 throws or less. Some holes don't have concrete pads or hole number (signs) so you don't know what the par is or which basket your throwing to. Course starts off by band-shell, at the top of the stairs. Need to be careful when throwing over trail because of people. Hole 5 was switched around (Basket is where you used to start) so you have to walk entire length of hole. #6 and #7 are on the other side of road so you must walk underneath Kentucky St. bridge. Hole 9 is suppose to start on the manhole cover but everyone starts on the dirt area (see where it would be nice to have a concrete pad here?). Overall, the course needs an overhaul but is playable.
