Safari-tastic Sixer 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 28, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Exeter is located in a small community park next to the lazily flowing Sugar River. Flat and mostly treeless, this over-sized lawn is home to a 6-hole memorial course. The course itself mostly consists of open, obstacle-less throws. Despite the easy layout, there is a decent mix of length here, with the potential for even longer safari holes.
- Water put to decent use. #4 is the stand out hole that puts both water AND a tree into play. A large tree sits between the basket and the tee, with the river behind the green waiting for someone to go long. The river flows to the right of #5's fairway, easily creating the greatest risk on the course.
- Small, round/hexagonal concrete tees. They're oddly shaped, and the omni-directional nature of the pads instantly made me think of safari golf.
- All the typical small town park amenities are present: picnic pavilian, grills, port-a-potties, etc.

Cons:

- Not much variety.
- Not much challenge.
- There's not really anything WRONG with this course, it simply is what it is.

Other Thoughts:

- Definitely someplace viable for beginners, safari rounds, glow golfers, or as a practice space. Stroller and family friendly.
- We played the course forwards and then backwards. Definitely some safari golf holes to be had as long as the park isn't crowded.
- As this course has only six holes, I rated it slightly lower than I would rate a similar-style course with 9 holes.

Take me to the Exet please 2+ years

Pros:

1) Nice DGA Mach V's with the # plates facing the tees.
2) Nice octagonal teepads . . . I doubt this was by design but you could easily throw at different baskets with these teepads making 6 hole in order, and then 12 safari holes from 1 teepad to another basket.
3) Portoptty, shelter, and playground are the only other things in this park.
4) The river looks like a nice place to go fishing or maybe even a swim.
5) Distance variation is moderate here with some reachable holes and some not reachable.

Cons:

1) Boring course overall. Truly no obstacles except one evergreen on the last hole.
2) Flat flat flat.
3) No tee signs to show distances of the existing 6 holes.
4) The turf is pretty weeds like it never fully got established when the park went in.

Other Thoughts:

Not much more needs to be said here. There isn't much to this course but it is dedicated to someone local who has died. It provides disc golf in a small town which is great, but I sure hope people are using the course. I likely will never go back here, but they could plant some trees to try and creat some more obstacle.

Sixer of the (not so) good stuff 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The hexagonal tee pads, while sort of an awkward length for run-ups, are a really nice touch. I've never seen such pretty, uniform pads at a neighborhood park course. The pins were skirted by rocks and looked to be installed with the utmost care. I applaud the decision to stick with six holes. There wouldn't be room for nine. Holes 4 and 5 make subtle use of a big river. Hole 6 reads right out of the park-course textbook: if you don't have a tunnel, put the obstacle in the middle of the fairway. Throwing a blind drive either way around a bushy tree makes for a fun, if short, challenge.

Cons:

Holes 1 and 2 are flat, short, and open. That's a third of the course already. By virtue of the shiny new concrete pads, a tall person can see which pads lie near baskets, and deduce that the course zigzags south-north for the first three holes, then wraps northwest back around to the west parking lot. This is good, because there are absolutely no signs.

Other Thoughts:

This course is for locals (like within a few miles) and explorers like me. Anyone else should gravitate to Madison.

Note: above I review the main layout, which can be found in the map posted on DGCR, and can be played with multiple groups on the course. Local DG forums indicate that the hexagonal pads are meant to encourage mix-and-matching pads and pins to make your own holes, if you have the place to yourself.
