Some Spark At Dunham Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 9, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ The course weaves throughout a quiet field park setting.
+ The tee pads are solid and lengthy.
+ This is a great place for driving and approach practice.
+ Current tee signs are clear and accurate with diagrams, distances and pars.

Cons:

- The course is mostly wide open and flat.
- The baskets are showing signs of age and disrepair with rusty cages and chains and slightly slanted poles.
- Two of the tee signs are missing outright.
- Some holes have absolutely impenetrable rough/undergrowth areas.
- The information board has seen better days. Plus, there is no practice pin or lost disc box.
- Some park amenities near a few fairways mean potential safety hazards for other park goers.

Other Thoughts:

My favorite hole here is hole 6 because of the combined challenge of tree dodging on a gradual downward slope and avoiding the nearby parking lot OB while throwing towards the pin on a peninsula. My least favorite hole is hole 7 for no reason other than it claimed two of my discs in that jungle zone in the middle of the long and short fairways.

As for the course as a whole, Harry Dunham Park is just fine. For a nine hole course, I was impressed by each hole having a short and long tee pad, even if they are made of cracked and worn asphalt. This enables old hats and newbies alike to get in a round or two. One solo session can be completed in about half an hour.

Your session here will be a gentle challenge. There are no truly meaty tasks. However, there are certainly some trees to dodge like at holes six through eight, but most everything else boils down to power metering and angle control with one or two noticeable elevation changes. There is a forested area behind hole 8 that might be a lot of fun to play in, but it will likely not be developed for disc golf. So, what is here works just fine. It's just a shame that there isn't more to this course.

Bottom line: It won't reach out and grab you, but the basics are here. Play multiple rounds, and you'll find yourself having a good time at Dunham.

Great beginner course!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 29, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The tee boxes are asphalt. If you are just learning how to play this is the course for you. The entire park is maintained well.

Cons:

The course is very short even from the deeps. Wide open and hardly any obsticles. Playground on the 4th hole is a little close. Not for anyone that wants to be challenged

Other Thoughts:

I grew up playing this course and it serves its purpose of being a well maintained beginner course.
