Swell Park To Bring That Newbie! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 4, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Greenacres Park is an extremely clean well kept green space. It features adequate parking, a nice children's play area complete with water feature, bathrooms open seasonal, and lots of wide open green spaces. Because the park is newly created, the trees are small. In time, as they mature, they will become more of a factor in the course's difficulty and challenge. At present, the course is just a simple little pitch and putt. Lengths range from # 1's 114' to # 4 and it's 320'. The baskets are nice new double chain models. There are fairly small concrete tee pads and fiberglass tee signs with the hole #, distance, and par. The par is basically listed as a children's par such as # 4 being a 320' par 5. But I always play these as listed and try for that exclusive double eagle or at the very least, another eagle.

Cons:

I don't think this course is ever going to get enough use that the baskets being too close to each other is going to be a big factor. Because it's complete wide open, you just have to wait until the other players are clear.

I guess inexperienced players could hyzer their shot into the playground on # 2. And I could see players throwing shots into the neighbors yard on # 7. I believe might have offended these same neighbors with my words after one particularly poor tee shot on # 8.

Other Thoughts:

Someone laughed at me for coming over here to check this course out but when I got here I encountered two very nice young college aged guys with two discs each. They said they loved disc golf and were practicing on this course until they were ready to tackle Camp Sekani Jamboree, a much more challenging 18 closeby. And the one young man, playing for just his third time, ACED the 114' # 1 hole!

And then as I was leaving, a guy and his wife/girlfriend started a round. She was throwing about 50 feet. This is a perfect course for her to enjoy a round on while working on increasing her distance.

And by the way, I also ACED the 114' # 1 and NO, I DID NOT WRITE MY NAME ON THE BASKET! But I did immortalize it with my sharpie by my writing the date, course, hole and distance on my DISC!

Well Done Pitch and Putt 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

City of Spokane Valley spent some time and money on good baskets, nicely laid tees, and now have signs with hole, par, and distances. There is also a board by the gazebo with basic rules, scorecards with maps, and pencils.
Park has nice amenities including nice bathrooms and one of the fanciest small playgrounds I've seen. Park is very new and with the trees planted should grow into a great place to throw a practice round or introduce a noob to the sport.

Cons:

This course is SHORT! And par set by city is suitable only for the newest of the new. I entered White tees with par based on PDGA guidelines and all holes under 150 ft are par 2s. Small park makes for tight course and Pin for 2 is way too close to kids playground, Park was somewhat busy and will probably become worse as playground becomes popular.
Some holes are very close to fences bordering on private property and we are asked not to cross them.

Other Thoughts:

Playground is so cool kids are less likely to be running around on course. There is some larger open space to practice drives and can throw from tee 1 to pin 4 or tee 7 to pin 9 for longer safari holes if course not busy.
I generally don't like 9 hole courses but this is an ok little local one, well appointed.
