Frisbee Golf Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 9, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Nice large park with varying topography and features. DIsc golf is totally removed from the rest of the park except for on #9 where you have to go back across the path leading deeper into the park.

2) Has signage directing you to the course. Just follow the Frisbee Golf Course signs out on the main road.

3) Elevation change on 2 holes (#2 goes up a sideslope and to the right making rollaways a possibility and an anhyzer a chance to flip back and go back down the slope. Tucked baskets around corners on 2 holes (#1 to the right and #5 to the left), 3 fairly open holes with a little more distance and 2 tight wooded fairways (#3 and #7). Great variety in shot making requirements. You wouldn't think it but you need to bring all your shots to this course to do well.

4) Easy course to navigate despite the missing tee signs. Tee signs that are there are simple listing only the yardage (not feet). No map on the sign but most holes are visible or easily findable for a new player.

Cons:

1) Not very beginner friendly because of holes #2 (Slope and elevation change), #3 (Tight fairway with a sharp dropoff to the left side), #4 (Massive elevation drop and rushing river only 10 feet past the basket), #7 (Ridiculously tight hole with almost no shot except a tamahawk, and most people can't make that throw)

2) No teepad would be better than what is there because the gravel filled pits just fill with water and rut out.

3) Signage missing on #1,7 and 8.

4) Baskets leave a lot to be desired, different sized chains. Some chains so large and heavy the disc barely moves them so you better hit center chains for the disc to stay in. They have obviously been used for a long time. They have also been painted with that old grey paint my grandpa used to paint everything with. I think it was lead based or something!!!!????

5) Turf is nonexistant on #2, 3, 4 in the woods and on the slopes, but the rest of the course is in pretty good shape. The usual paths are bare.

Other Thoughts:

I wasn't sure what to expect out of this course because when I pulled up I didn't see any baskets, nor tee areas. I read the description on here and it said first tee to the right of the parking lot. I still didn't see a basket until I walked forward to see around the bend to the right. I was glad to see the basket because ti looked like a cool park and I was then excited to play this course. I enjoyed the shot making necessary. #1 Huge anny with a Roadrunner. #2 Another anny needed but more distance because you are going up about 40 vertical feet against a sideslope too. #3 Straight putter or midrange shot with trouble left and a smattering of trees in your way to the basket. #4 awesome drop of at least 50-60 vertical feet to a basket tucked about 10 feet from the rushing river waters edge. #5 Fairly long hole with a basket tucked around and set back into the woods on the left. #6 Shorter hole with the basket about 15-20 feet past a wetland area, pretty simple hole, #7 Ridiculously tight fairway with scrub blocking a low shot completely. A Tamahawk would have been a nice shot choice if I knew how to throw them. I threw a spike hyzer with my Viper and ended up in some thick stuff despite it being only 131 feet. #8 Straight forward long hole, rip it and shoot for birdie or par. #9 Another long hole playing back across the path to a basket tucked amongst some large evergreen trees.

This course gets a 1.5 disc rating because of the fun factor and variability in the course. The maintenance could be greatly improved and that would take it up another 1/2 disc. I don't see it as a 2 disc course without some serious improvement on maintenance . . . such as pruning or brush removal . . .an the repair or addition of some amenities.
