Is This Fun or Stupid?

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 14, 2023 Played the course:once

Other Thoughts:

A not-very-memorable bagging stop featuring nine portable Axiom baskets spread around the edges of a multi-use park. No tees or signage, just a few teeing areas have numbers and lines painted on the grass. Most have been mowed out during the course of the summer


Designers attempted to create hole shapes by using park features. Some work pretty well, like having to throw a narrow alley between the baseball field fence and the woods on the 335' first hole, and having to throw across the baseball outfield (clearing both fences) on the 202' hole two.


Other holes are less successful: on #4, you're throwing from an elevated outdoor stage down a wide grassy area between park buildings. They use a light pole to create a mando so you can't just throw over the top. After crossing the road to play #7, you're throwing parallel and right beside the road, facing traffic, to a basket that's wedged between a small tree and a cinder block dugout (see the photo I posted).


As I played, I wasn't sure Freeburg DGC was fun or stupid. With only a few exceptions, this is just an open course requiring very little thought or skill to play. Baseball will interfere with several holes. Major park events, like Freeburg Carnival Week, will interfere with almost all holes. In fairness, they purchased nine baskets, and tried to make something fun having very little to work with.


Beginners can get a feel for the game here, and at the nearby SASD school course. Everyone else can use it as a bagging stop to or from the amazing Faylor Lake course 15 miles to the West.
