Fun course, bad signage 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice, open course.
Plays easy for anyone with a decent RHFH flick.
Signs that do exist are very detailed (Appear to be composed by city engineering dept)

Cons:

Challenge to navigate with oddly hit/miss signs
Designers appear to have forgotten about RHFH throwers with the design and mandos.
Some tee pads are very small. Long legs make them almost pointless.

Other Thoughts:

Signage disagrees with the score card both here on DGCR and at the sign at the parking lot.
Signs are random. good luck navigating.

Unidentified Flying Objects 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The first four holes play through an undeveloped mostly dirt area. It gives these holes a "desert" feel that looks a lot like the desert around Roswell. The majority of the holes play through a well maintained city park that runs through aneighborhood. It actually spans out over quite an area. The park is mainly flat and open.

Cons:

While the holes over the park are fine, they quickly start to look a lot like other city park DGC's.

Navigation is very difficult. Some of the tees have signs, some don't. Some of the baskets are unnumbered. There are very nice signs put up by the city pointing you in the direction in some places, and other holes leaving you to completely guess which pads and baskets go together.

There are several mandos that eliminate the open RHBH shots. They seem to have forgotten the existence of forehanders, as their shots are left completely unobstructed. A forehander has an open shot on nearly every hole.

Other Thoughts:

There's some sort of bird around holes 16 and 17 that swooped down and buzzed us several times. From reading other reviews this seems to be a pretty regular occurrence, so I thought it worth mentioning.

Like Two Seperate Courses! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 2, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The first four holes of Enchanted Lands DGC plays through a dirt vacant lot type area. This area has a kiosk at the start with a map and the usual course information although most of the locals seem to park over by 10 and play the course starting there. I was the only one parked by #1 and the kiosk. These first 4 holes feature over-sized teepads, nice informative tee signs and a mostly open, windy area. Someone has planted trees but they are a few years away from affecting your throws. There are older baskets here with red numbers on top.
Then starting at # 5, the course plays into a nice grassy park. The teepads become smaller, signs are less common. Some are faded paint on the pads. There are quite a few long, straight throws over expanses of grass. It's a great place to bring out that roller disc. There are two pads on every hole. The advanced/longer pad usually adds about 50-75' to the hole length.
The course seemed to do a good job of avoiding the other park users.

Cons:

The course is almost totally flat. There aren't a lot in the way of obstacles. There are a couple of mandos to throw around. The dirt portion (holes1-4) isn't particularly pretty.
The wind was a factor today. I think it might be a factor many days here.

Other Thoughts:

It's certainly not a technical course. Big arms will have an advantage here.

When I checked my GPS to see how far from my hotel the course was, I was surprised to see that the course was one (1) minute away. Actually it more like 30 seconds. So like they say in real estate, Location, Location, Location!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 7, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Thought it was just a nine hole but now has eighteen so that was cool. Aliens must have did it. The holes Ron really well through the park. I really like the blind shot on ten.

Cons:

First four holes are very rough but then they turn out well.

Other Thoughts:

Great for a quick round.

Pros:

-course is fairly easy to navigate and to play quickly
-good variation of shot types and distances
-concrete tee pads
-nice grass throughout the park that the course runs through
-fun course to play for beginers, and vets
-nice baskets
-good layout brings you back to the start of the round

Cons:

-course is very straight forward and nothing makes it stand out

Other Thoughts:

Good place to get a quick fun round in. Don't stay to long or you might start seeing ufo's.
