Fun to play, hard to navigate 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 19, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great use of elevation- Holes 3,8,9,10 all utilize the park's hills quite well. I really like throwing hole 3, because the hill allows me to finesse a disc near the basket nicely. Also, hole 8 allows for the same sort of finesse with a forehand throw.

Scenic Park- The grand river has carved a beautiful park with nice elevation changes, and the disc golf course weaves through it nicely.

Nice variety in hole length- Two holes under 200 ft, ten holes 200-300 feet, five holes 300-400 feet, and one hole +400 feet.

Good mix of wooded and open holes- The course starts and ends on open holes, and the majority of the middle holes play through the woods. I like this because the first few holes warm up the arm nicely before you start the finesse shots in the woods.

Cons:

Hard to navigate- as the other reviewers stated, it is hard to find your way around the first time you play the course.

Tee pads suck- The tee pads are marked by painted rocks... sometimes. Other times you are left guessing by the worn in spots others seem to have thrown from.

Other Thoughts:

Once you learn your way around this course it is a very fun course to play. The hole variety is nice, but the course will not wear out your arm. With only six holes over 300 feet you will rely more on finesse throws than power throws, but the terrain and foliage make even the short holes challenging.
