Disappointing to say the very least... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 9, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Aesthetic-- Beautiful lakeside park. area is NOT disc golf exclusive as it shares land with walking trails, a mountain bike trail and plays over roads.

Baskets-- Discatchers, this is a good thing.

Teesigns-- at least the ones I could find, had teesigns with numbers, no distances, no maps, nothing more than numbers.

Cons:

Routing/Nav-- Biggest con here is the navigational woes. I played 1-6 without issue. I tried really hard to find 7 (looked for 45+ minutes) walked down the mountain bike trail and found the "emergency" road that was noted on the map but found no tees and no baskets. I saw a "next tee" sign in the middle of the field but no baskets were anywhere. 11-18 were easy again. the maps provided were essentially useless. no numbers, the lines were highly inaccurate and just confused me more than helped me.

Risk v reward-- the holes I could play really no risk v reward, the most I can remember is the approach on #2 where you are pretty close to the lake when putting.

Uncontrollables-- bugs were bad when I played but there's not a lot that can be done with the surrounding area.

Teepads--Rubber/natural, the rubber pads are in decent repair but I still prefer cement or natural pads.

Variety-- the first six holes are very short and from the map 7-10 were shorties too. 11-18 were a bit longer but the challenge factor was pretty low here.

Other Thoughts:

I was very disappointed. with the good reviews this course has I expected far better.
