Biggest pro is that it is the only course in Boston! It won't be a pro level course, but having a place to play in the city is amazing.

As of March 2020, there are now 18 holes. A handful are really short, but again, being able to play 18 in Boston is amazing. When and if the course becomes official with the parks department, I imagine there could be some changes.

The course overall is tightly wooded and requires some technical and even kind of funky shots. I personally think this is great because it forces you to use every shot in your bag and learn the shots you don't have yet. Since hole numbers are changing as the layout evolves, I won't name any numbers, but there are at least 4 holes that could be called the "signature" hole for the course. They are technical and really enjoyable.

Another positive is that playing on weekdays I almost always have the course to myself or run into another regular.

The park is gorgeous and the course snakes around Scarborough Pond. It's a great escape from the city.

Navigation is probably the main issue. I play here weekly, but if you are coming for the first time keep an eye out for yellow flags to guide you. Regulars are happy to show you the way.

The number of short/ace run holes. There are two of these back to back which were added to round out 18 holes, but hoping we can see a couple longer holes to replace them eventually.

Natural teepads aren't great, but again, when and if this becomes an officially recognized course we will likely set up a club and get funding for teepads.

The park has a reputation for being sketchy, but in the 2 years I've been playing here and working on cleaning up the course we have seen significant improvement. There were homeless camps that have been cleared out and the added foot traffic thanks to our dedicated regulars seems to have kept them away.

The course is not official with the parks department, but a recent survey sent by the city included disc golf as an option for "what do you do when you come to Franklin Park," which is a great sign. Momentum is on our side and people constantly ask me about disc golf when they see me playing.

Keep coming out and supporting disc golf in Boston!

Boston has nothing great for disc golf within city limits, and this course helps fix that.

Very do-it-yourself course. Make sure to bring the map with you. Also some homeless people wander around since it's close to a shelter - but they were very nice and interested in the game!

Really hoping this course takes off and becomes more permanent. Would love to help make it happen - message me if you're interested!

The nine basket course seems promising with some creative shots. If Boston supports a permanent instillation at this park, it could be a fun course. Franklin Park is gorgeous to walk through.

Because the course is temporary, no permanent signs exist to direct players to beginning of play and information about each drive. The disjointed course becomes frustrating when trying to find the next basket. The course is laid out over a large plot of land separated by a pedestrian path. Lengthy walks are necessary to continue play especially between six and seven.

Until the course is improved upon players may want to take a pass on this one. Finding all the baskets will be time consuming. It may be necessary to play with someone who knows where all the baskets are but the long walks between certain baskets undermine any joy of playing. Also, numerous hobos have taken up residence at the park and can be a bit of concern if playing alone. Lastly, drive 7 has what appears to be poison ivy near the tee.

A lot of quirky little woods holes, with a few opportunites to air a couple out.

Hole 4 is is a really fun, scenic hole to really send one off the tee.

Holes 7-9 are my favorite, giving you a little bit of everything, from slight dog legs and elevated tee shots with a nice view of the pond, this was great way to end the round.

The first 20 or so minutes was a rocky start, hole 1 was a little weird with a barbed wire fence to your right as well as glass and mini bottles littered all over.

It was very confusing trying to figure out how to get to the next hole, as we ended up bush pushing between the main road on our right and the pond on our left, with no evident path to the next tee in sight.

A map would be extremely helpful, as we were a bit confused most of the time on where to go. The flags were helpful in spots, but the signage and paths become quite confusing. Again, I am very aware that this is a project, and a map would be very ideal as this course (hopefully) becomes more permanent.

I am hoping between support from the community as well as the city, this could end up being a really solid spot.

I am fairly new to the area, and I've been driving a decent amount outside of the city to go play. I was stoked to see this project is happening, so I had to check it out as it's only about 15 minutes from my front door. It is obviously not the easiest task to get a course started, but I think with more gaining interest and a little TLC from the city of Boston and its community, this could turn into a great course. This is a great space for a lot of really fun/challenging holes. Overall, I'm really pumped to see this place evolve! The space is a little natural gem in the middle of the city, I will definitely be returning hopefully weekly and I would be very happy to assist in any way possible to help make this course the best that it can be.
