new tees 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 17, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well kept, various trees and terrain, not too difficult for beginners. not as busy as some city parks. Every hole has concrete tee box. One of my favorites. I drive 65 miles one way to play this course.

Cons:

more advanced players may think it too beginner friendly.

Other Thoughts:

Recently several baskets and tees have been moved to make it a little more challenging.

More fun than expected! 2+ years drive by

Pros:

This course is kept VERY well. The grass has been short, there hasnt been garbage, or tree limbs all over the place. Its just a very pleasant place to play.

Loads of ace runs that keep you coming back for more.

The concrete tees are nice (a little short for my taste) but are in good shape. The holes are all short enough that you don't need much of a runway to generate power, but the size of these could make some feel cramped.

The baskets are top notch, they grab the discs great and hold them.

You will get the chance to throw just about every shot you could want (hyzer, anhyzer, straight, even an overhead if you like going the high-road.)

ALL of the baskets have a little arrows pointing toward the next tee which is VERY helpfull on a course where there are 2 or 3 tees in near sight from each basket. This makes navigation a snap, even if its your first time out.

Cons:

The course is crammed into a pretty small area, and as such there are only 2 holes where you can let your arm go, and even those aren't exactly 'bombers.'

You could get through this course with 3 discs without hurting your score at all. (I threw an aviar, roc, and a beast on 17 of the 18 holes) This could be seen as a positive, but I like being put in a situation where I really need to make a disc as well as shot selection.

The walk between 13 and 14 (might be 14 and 15) is pretty long (for this course at least) and very uncharacteristic for this place so that could be confusing. Its not a long walk by other course standards. (maybe 400 feet?)

Other Thoughts:

If your looking to get 18 holes in and not spend a boat load of time or torch your arm then this is the place for you. The 18 holes can get covered in less than an hour (if your moving pretty good.) This is MY personal favorite course in the Springfield area, I wish some of the other courses around here had the funding that this one seems to have because this one is just NICE.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 13, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I love playing this course wish it were closer to where i live. this course is beginner friendly however it still has the difficulty to make it enjoyable for seasoned players.
there is an arrow under almost every basket pointing you to the next tee and all of the teepads have the number engraved on them.
tee signs have also been added since the last time i was out there

UPDATE:
Recently moved baskets and tees make several holes more difficult, and add variety

Cons:

the 18 holes are crammed into a fairly small amount of space, which means you have to look out for other DGers, and there are also a few walking paths that come into play

Some may not like the baskets on the mounds/hills surrounding drainage areas, because if you go for it and miss chances are your next putt is as long or longer then the last one

Other Thoughts:

almost every hole has an ace run, the question is do you want to risk it.
Also mature trees come into play on most of the holes making it a little more difficult and taking way some shots
Some new smaller trees have been planted to add a little more variety and difficulty, but will defiantly change the course as they grow.


UPDATE 3/9/2012
like 20 new trees added making the course more difficult, and #10 is now a pie piece shaped island hole using the drainage ditch and the small gravel line drop zone is the 2 flags on top of the drainage ditch

Pros:

This is a course that has a ton of Ace runs. Navigation here is real easy. There are little arrows at the bottom of the baskets pointing to the next tee. The newer concrete tee pads are fantastic. They have the combed surface to keep them from getting slick. When going to hole 5, you will see the old pad with a black "X" painted through the 5. Just move ahead of the pad and you will come to the new tee pad for that hole. Some of the old tee pads are still in place. Also, #15 was the only tough tee pad to find and it is located just above the hill from #7. The hole number is engraved in the front of the pad and the front right edge has the footage. This place is very well maintained and the trees are beautiful. This park is very clean and it seems that the Disc Golf portion does not get too many non-golfers. There is some slight elevation at work on this course. The pin placements are mostly in the open but the path too many of them is quite fun. They use the trees when they can really well.

Cons:

The information sign shows a 10-hole course, but it certainly is 18 holes. This course has no tee signs or trashcans.

Other Thoughts:

The Fun Factor here was decent. It was amazing that these 18 holes are put in such a small space and still feels like a nice sized course. I really enjoyed playing here. It was such a nice park and many of the holes were ones I wanted to throw a second tee shot on. If you are near Springfield, this is worth a run over to play this course. (Oh, to read the title, read it backwards.)
