great for local beginners 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 8, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to find, compact course, not wooded, but hilly.
Short hole options make it interesting for beginners, can play 18 from front while advance can play 18 from back.

Cons:

Creek crossings for errant shots are OK during low water, smooth slippery rocks make my ankles nervous, though.
Consider marking the path from basket 8 to teepad 9 better.

Other Thoughts:

# 6 had the only real tree issue for me (because I hit it).
Other nearby courses have many more guardian holes. Distance and lack of trees will keep people interested enough when learning, grow the sport.

Great beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 19, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Only course for miles. Well manicured and good baskets. Park for kids and family picnics. Practice pin. Elevation changes. 2 concrete pads per pin and marked with colored tiles (red & blue).

The course is great for beginners and those looking to improve their approach game. Alternate tees let you air out arm a little. Only #12 has any distance

Cons:

The walk to #9 tee from #8 pin is lengthy, but had to be done because of soccer field and parking lot. Not a hard con.

It's hard to Con a course that's the only one available in a 40mile radius.

Other Thoughts:

#1 - Short and downhill. Pin is parked on a dropping roll. A putter or slow midrange disc can reach this pin. It's a wide open lane.

#2 - Short and flat. Basketball court on the left and "creek" on the right. Again, midrange shot and approach practice hole.

#3 - Flat with a slight down slope. Parking lot to the left and "creek" just to the right of basket. Over thrown will land you in the street or weeds of culvert.

#4 - Short hole with a bit rise in elevation. Throwing over creek that is 150-200 in front of tee. A heizer line gets you around the willow that blocks direct line of sight.

#5 - Uphill adds to length of this hole but it's only 240ft to begin with. 4 large trees are in front of tee box but there a 40ft wide lane to manage through them.

#6 - Steep down hill turns this hole into a putter approach. Creek is 20' directly behind basket. 1 tree in direct line of sight.

#7 - Uphill, fence and heavy vegetation to the left. 5 or 6 trees to throw around but there are 2 good lines for approach. A 6' fence is 30' behind the pin to help knock down overthrown discs.

#8 - Shrubbery down entire left side until last 75ft. Creek to the right. Pin is comically raised 2 feet but would only provide more challenge if you're <4' tall. Right handers can approach with an overstable disc. An overthrown disc straight will land you in thick vegetation or OB in the creek.

#9 - To get to 9/18, walk North behind soccer field and across the parking lot. You'll find both tees. There are a lot of trees but a wide line for approach. The pin sits elevated with a tennis court behind it and a small tree directly to it's right.

#10 - Much like #1 but a touch farther and a few trees to line out. Still an approach shot because much more elevation drop.

#11 - Flat line with the creek leading the way along the right side. See #2 info

#12 - The longest hole. A slight roll in the ground can make the hole feel uphill, but it should be played as flat. See #3 info

#13 - A longer version of #4. Weak throws will land you in the creek.

#14 - A longer version of #5. Almost the same line for approach.

#15 - Don't let the distance fool you. A midrange will easily reach the basket because of the elevation drop. See #6.

#16 - Plays like #7 but uphill. Trees can be tricky to find a line because they're near the end of the flight path.

#17 - Exact hole as #8. Right handers should throw a spike heizer if you have the arm.

#18 - More trees than #9, but very approachable.

I'm an intermediate play and shot a 56 1st round and a 51 2nd round. No mulligans or OBs.
