Pros:
The drive that I took into the park was a kind of interesting one, with a drive on a gravel road leading into the park. before coming upon a pay booth. You pass the booth, and then drive into the park, before you come upon a well defined disc golf parking lot.
The first hole is located right into the woods, and is a tight par 3 through the woods, with most of the holes after that being mostly open, with well placed trees to force lines and different shots.
Every hole has at least two tees, with most having three, with a concrete white and black tee, with a natural, albeit well kept, red tee. Tee signs are well made, with a nice map, and all the necessary information.
Navigation on this course is completely intuitive, and if it wasn't absolutely obvious, there was a sign pointing you in the right direction.
This park and the course are completely beautiful, with a great amount of work being put into the course, a lot of beautiful mulching, and the fairways are very well defined and cut.
Cons:
There are only a few things that make this course not perfect, but I would very easily recommend to everyone.
First, I believe that the rough was very severely punishing in certain places, and a spotter will be needed a good amount of times, and losing a disc is very possible. This seems to be a common theme in this area.
The baskets were Mach IIIs. and they definitely spit out a few putts that should have gone in. With the cost to enter the park, new baskets can be afforded if they are wanted by the local club, but for now they are sub-par for the course.
I think this course was executed very well, but there were no signature holes, at least nothing that stood out greatly, and with all holes being par 3s, the need for placement shots, and long, grueling holes were not in play.
Other Thoughts:
I believe this course was executed very well, and it would be a very common play for me if I lived in the area. The out of town price of ten dollars is certainly worth it, and with two courses on site, you can make a full day of disc golf at Independence Lake!
