Other Thoughts:

The course is part of a rec park that includes a skate park, batting cages, and a climbing wall. There is only street parking near the start of the course(not that it was an issue) but there is a parking lot near the 9th hole.

The tees are natural with toe boards and tee signs. They were in great shape and the signs had both par and distance on them. The baskets are nice new looking discatchers which were also numbered. There wasn't a koisk with a map so after a little basket # checking we found that one starts near the corner of carver and mohone. The first couple holes are wide open and make you think the course will be short, but then after that it surprises you with a couple mildly wooded holes, and few longer holes and finishes with a nicely placed pin guarded by two trees. This course makes great use of the land it's on and even gives some variety with the distances. Holes 2 and 4 even have a small bit of elevation. This course is fairly open on most holes so some more experienced players might find it lacking, but this could be a great course for beginners. The course areas were well groomed as well and loosing a disc would be hard. There are no other frills about the course and I don't recall seeing a bathroom but Burger King is really close by.

I kinda expected this course to be a bit more pitch and putt but then was surprised with it's well rounded hole selection. Heard they might consider another 9 holes but i'm not sure were they would go. I wouldn't say it's worth going out of your way to play but if your close and can get on base then why not.
