Pros:
-
-Best baskets of any course I have played
-Outstanding variety of holes, elevation, flat, wooded, open, steep, gentle slopes, shooting up and shooting down, water holes, very well designed.
-Some holes are really superior and would be signature holes on any course
-Dog friendly (if you have them under control)
-High fun factor
-Moderatly grueling workout
-Scenic and wooded for a city course
-Clear paths to shoot
Cons:
-
-Busy busy busy
-Rubber and dirt tee pads, not the easiest place to tee off
-Somewhat short
-Some holes right next to private homes
-Could use better signs and markers to next tee but they are sufficent for such a new course
-Next to a few busy roads, be careful for small children and animals
-Not secluded
-Water can be nasty and hazardous to your discs
Other Thoughts:
-
-Located in a city park, the place has more to offer the family then just disc golf. I saw people fishing, rollerblading, walking, and kids on the playground equipment.
-The first time I played this course I started off disappointed and thought how simple and easy the first few holes were. At about hole 6 it starts to get much more challenging and fun.
-Some of the shorter holes are very challenging with the trees and use of elevation.
-All of the holes can be reached with one shot. However you have to be on your game in order to achieve this.
-Accuracy is a must for this course
-Lots of different types of shots can be utilized
-I was surpised by this course and really enjoyed it. It has a lot more to offer then I originally thought it could. It was a nice challenge and required careful play to do well. I am debating between a 3.5 and 3.0 if I could it would get a 3.25. If cement tee pads and a few more anemities like benches were done I would be happy to rate this higher. This course has some really good potential and it was a lot of fun to play. A nice addition for the Battle Creek area with Pinball pines and Begg Park.
