-Perfect course to learn the game

-Concrete Tees

-Practice Basket (as quite a few courses throughout the region don't)

-Large grass fields to warm up or practice driving. There is a baseball large field next to Hole #1, if that is being used, there are plenty of other large grass fields throughout the park.

-The DGA Mach 3 Baskets are nice and in good condition. The center tape has just been replaced (which I like).

-Limited Crowds

-Plenty of paved parking at Hole #1.

-Elk Grove Park is a FREE nice clean park

-There are dirt or gravel roads near or going through quite a few of the holes. You sometimes have to wait for people walking the park to pass by.

-Hole #1 and #8 - if you don't make it over the gravel roads, your discs will be landing in the rocks - as a result, you might want to only throw champion or star plastic discs in these holes.

-The Tees are too thin.

-Not too many trees / obstacles.

-Very little elevation change in the holes. A few of them you are up on a small mount, but that is it.

-If the park has large event on a weekend or holiday or sports practice, part or all of the course will be closed (does not happen often however).

-All the holes are backhand. Wish there at least a few forearm holes.

-Most holes to have a sign, but many are cracked.
Only 1 pin placement per hole - the course it always the same.

Short holes - the average is 250 feet.

So I do have more negative comments that positive ones, but this is a nice simple course in overall good condition. It is the perfect learning or practicing course. I would only play the course if you were local and wanted to do just that. It is not worth driving out of your way.

Nice LONG tee shots. If you want to work on distance driving, this is a good course. Nearby a lot of food places

"Boring" in that all the holes are basically straight shots from tee to hole. Very few obstacles. Very little shade. If you aren't good at driving, or are using beginning drivers, this can be frustrating.

I played on a hot summer day.... not a good idea. Not much shade. Better for a cooler day IMO.

The 9-hole disc golf course is in it's own dedicated area to the side of this large park. Despite the shorter distances, I actually found this course to be a fun scoring course. Would be a great wagering course with a buddy. Very clean grounds, with short mowed grass. Very nice teepads & signage. Free parking along with WiFi access.

Flat and easy, with few trees from holes 4-7. Finding the course and DG parking was not easy for my first time. Subsequent visits will be easier to access & more enjoyable.

Elk Grove Regional Park itself is quite a large park with a number of softball fields, and picnic areas. It even has a small man-made lake in the middle.
==================
Uniqueness: B- (dedicated area; seems like an afterthought, tho)
Difficulty: C+ (flat; not long)
Fun factor: B (wish there were more trees)
Aesthetics: B+ (mowed grass; some litter)
---------------------
Overall: B-

On a perfect Saturday, the course was not very crowded while the park was very busy. Pins are easy to find as the course is, for mod to advanced players, really just a pitch and putt. Most of this side of Elk Grove Regency is unused, except for the fairway on hole #2.

Only a few holes have natural obstacles which require some intermediate shots. No trash cans. Bathroom located way off number 1.

Good course to improve your game, but not difficult at all. Great place to test out a new disc before taking it out to one of the more intermediate courses.
