-- The 9 hole course has an okay bathroom at the parking lot .
-- The parking lot will be able to handle the small traffic of park goers .
--- The course is mostly flat ( a downhill shot on #1 is the exception ) with deceptive length .
--Mach 3 numbered baskets , with circular markers for where to tee off .
And , that's about it for the pros

Now , for all of the cons :
#1 Safety . There is a walking path that runs right through the first 4 holes , and can be a factor in many of the other holes . If a walker does it just right , He/she can walk one way , get hit , turn around at the end of the path , only to get hit again by the same person .maybe only in the back this time . Plenty of people walk this cement path . Try to be careful , even if it holds you up a lot .
#2 . Equipment .No signage , I didn't mind the old Mach 3 baskets , but these old time markers , most of which you will fail to find because the have been buried from mud and rain .are terrible.I know they are a convenience to the mowers , but ,,,,, Really ? The parks believe in this relic of a course so much , that they don't even mention it on the kiosk map of the park .So there is no online map or course map . I had to safari many of the holes .
#3 On the level section of the park forms a basin , which is where almost 90% of the course lies , On any kind of decent rain , the course will be so wet that your shoes will fill up with water by about ,,,, hole 2 . I didn't even try a couple of the back 2 holes . #9 hooks around to the left and goes out into an overgrown field . I didn't know if it was just a giant puddle in the fairway , and couldn't tell because the areas hadn't been mowed in a long time ( 3' high grass ) . Weeds had grown up inside the basket .
mower friendly ? this course isn't one of them . High grass abounds . You are warned .
#4 Almost everything is a right to left shot .
#5 After hole #9 ,There are plenty of trees to climb and throw yourself out of after you have realized that you have literally wasted 30+ minutes of time on this course when there are other course a very short drive from here .
Disc Risk : You are going to shank on this course because the shots are so repetitive , and since most of the players are going to be newbies and the very casual players , and basket placements are under trees , a disc can easily be swallowed up by the trees , or the brush on the back 5 .

I am almost always for the promotion of disc golf through its many courses . The course here , because of it's age ( 1992 ) , should be considered a piece of history , Instead it is a piece of something , other than that . I scouted some woods behind the bathrooms that could hold a few holes , maybe taking the pressure off the tight strip of out and back holes that make up this course .
If no one wants to take up the cause , maybe it would be better to pull the course before too many people get hit by discs . This small park was loaded with families and kids using the playgrounds , the paths , sitting on the hillsides . There is just not enough room here for a disc golf course , too . The parks have had 28 years and counting to get this right .My recommendation : Donate the baskets to a bigger park , melt the big metal circle tee pads to scrap , and enjoy the park for the other multi uses it offers . Drive On By .

Good location, nice park overall.

The grass was incredibly overgrown, to the point that we left and went to play somewhere else.

Could use a sign of some sort to help find the first tee, the round markers are very easy to overlook (especially in 1-2 foot grass)

Out of the available land in the park, Fishburn utilizes it ok for probably 2 of the 9 holes (1 and 8). The other holes all felt contrived.

Hole 1 gets you off to a fun start with a downhill shot to a basket tucked safely behind a tree. The only other fun hole on the course is hole 8, which is pretty unique I must admit, but forces a semi blind shot over a walking path which is in use every time I've been out.

There is water in play, both in the form of a river and surely in your shoes as well! That does create a mild risk/reward element, but no other real challenge to speak of.

The length of the holes are actually long enough that, despite the low rating of this course, requires you to pull out a driver on. Usually courses rated this poorly will be pitch and putt deals, but you'll at least get to let a few rip on a few holes.

Other than the other amenities in the park, there are very little pro's to this course other than holes 1 and 8.

Where do I begin?

First off, the tee "pads" are merely circular concrete markers, often times overgrown so much with grass they are hard to spot. Forget throwing off of these, they simply serve as a starting point.

The baskets are old and in extreme disrepair. Several of the baskets are bent or are angled awkwardly and simply need to be replaced.

The entire course is located in a flood zone and any little amount of rain is sure to saturate the ground on every hole. This also attracts the mosquitoes rather fiercely in the summer and makes for an almost miserable experience.

I know this course was made a while ago, and I have no idea how the park was set up during its inception, but nearly every hole has the walking path in play. (In fact I'd say only holes 1,2 and 3 are the exception). This is not only dangerous for the other park goers, it's frustrating for the golfers as well as they are forced to wait at nearly every hole for the walkers to pass.

There are zero signs, either tee or navigational. Be prepared to stumble about in the swamp to find a bit of concrete marking the "tee area".

I know the back story of this course and I realize it was the only local course for many years. I know there is a lot of emotional ties to the course but that simply doesn't excuse the disrepair it is in.

Someone should really go in and overhaul this course. I wouldn't advocate removing it entirely, mostly because I think any course is better than no course, but it doesn't represent our sport well and would be a complete turnoff for a beginner golfer.

Tees marked by in-ground circular concrete medallions which list the hole number, the distance, and the direction to the basket.

Webpage at http://www.overacker.com/fishburn.htm provides an excellent description of each hole.

Good use of the land available (water-holding land between a road and a creek).

Holes #7-#9 play near a walking path.

Tee "pad" is the dirt/grass next to the tee marker.

Being below street level and next to the creek, the ground holds water quite well.

Most holes geared for a RHBH hyzer throw.

First tee is to the right of the tennis courts. Course plays in a counter-clockwise direction, first down the hill, then down the meadow, keeping the creek to your right, until you reverse course after hole #5, keeping the road to your right.

Distance of holes: minimim 156', maximum 352', average about 275'.

Fairly open, with a few trees or the creek to keep your focus.

to few to list, but if I had to say anything good about this course is that it's a course for people to learn to play DG

Shared tees with multiple holes. Hole # 5 went nowhere, then you had to backtrack and throw into another hole. Dirt tees.

Why couldn't the course be extended over the creek?? I personally think the course should be redesigned. But i'm a tourist and not a local.
