missed opportunity 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 19, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful and spacious park; nice elevation changes, mature trees, green grass.

Cons:

Total missed opportunity. The only explanation here is that the course was designed by someone who has never played disc golf before. The layout makes no sense at all. Navigation is very confusing. The signs seem to be arbitrarily located somewhere between the long tee pad and short tee pad, but since there are not tee pads for all of them it is hard to tell really. The signs are terrible, the absolute worst I have ever seen- they offer barely a clue as to which direction you are even supposed to throw. The design does not take advantage of the elevation changes or trees. Most hole layouts are redundant, not very interesting.

Other Thoughts:

This park has all the potential for a 3.5-4.0 rated course, but it would take a complete redesign to get there.

Hated the flow..... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 5, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee pads for the white tees on 15 of 18 tees.
Big signs that at least got you in the neighborhood of the next tee.
Beautiful park, well manicured (getting first mow of season as I was playing)
Good mixture of hole length.

Cons:

Holes 4 and 5 had no concrete pads- construction of baseball field looks to have been where the tee pads should have been- no sign for hole 4.
Absolutely hated the layout. Way too much walking around looking for signs or where the baskets were located.
Hole 15 throws away from everything and you have to walk back the same way to get to 16!?
Looked as though 12-13-14 were reconfigured from attached map.
Worst flow of any of the 70+ courses I have played.

Other Thoughts:

I travel from North Dakota to St Louis regularly and am trying to hit as many courses as possible. That said, I wish I had read the reviews prior to going.
all had the same theme re: the layout.
Wanted to quit after about 7 holes, stuck it out but regretted every minute of it.
Someone needs to reconfigure the layout to give it an acceptable flow.
Only gave it as high as a 1.5 because it is in a nice park.
