Adequate Infrastructure
-All 9 baskets, plus practice basket, are functional. All 18 tee pads are concrete and level.
-Some added convenience perks: Hole 1's tee and 18's basket are close to parking lot and there are public restrooms on-site.

Decent Variety
-The original nine holes are now the "Front 9." Apparently the alternate tee pads were installed a couple years ago, and they constitute the "Back 9" although they play to the same 9 baskets as the front.
-The Front 9 are relatively short holes, and are very easy and beginner friendly. The Back 9 adds length, some OB to worry about, and more challenging lines to execute from the tee.
-Elevation change is utilized well to create some fun tee shots.

Very Well Maintained
-Located in a city park with lush grass and regular mowing schedule.
-This course checks the Nice Box.

Boring Greens
-Most of the holes (other than Hole 9/18) have wide open greens. They are mostly flat, very easy to access with your approach, and unlikely to have any serious impediment for your putt once you get inside 30'-45'.
-This problem is exacerbated by re-using the same nine baskets for the Back 9.
-I might be nitpicking here, but the baskets seem to be about 8"-12" shorter than normal. I felt like I was putting downward all round, even though most greens are flat. This isn't a major problem but it is a bit odd.


Busy
-Multiple people warned me about how crowded this multi-purpose park gets on weeknights and weekend afternoons. I was able to avoid most of the crowds by arriving at 7:30 on a Sunday morning, but even that early there were people out walking the park and playing tennis. Some of the holes would become unplayable if a sand volleyball game and picnic is going on.
-I did have a slightly awkward exchange with a homeless guy and a couple tweakers near the Hole 1 tee, likely because of how early I got there. Just something to keep in mind if that bothers you.

The Back 9 has a bunch of tweener holes that power throwers would consider a Par 3 and noodle arms would consider a Par 4. The course designer seems to have split the difference, and called half of the tweeners 3s and half 4s.

The overall course par of 57 seems pretty generous. I'm a low MA2/high MA3 level player and I could probably get to -6 or -7 if I played here a few more times.

Speaking of tweeners, I had to mull over this course rating for a couple days before writing my review. An 18 hole course that is well maintained with some fun tee shots is typically at least a 3.0 in my book. However, John Adams' wide open greens, used twice each, really does make the round a lot less enjoyable. That plus the imminent threat of holes being unplayable when the park is busy makes this a 2.5* course for me.

Great Beginner Course in Brigham. Very nice park. Tee pads are great long and wide at the end of your throw. Hole 4 and 8 are the only long throws on the course. Some trees in which makes the course fun. Easy Par 3 course. Baskets are in great shape and so are the tee pads.

Lots of short shots with some trees that come into play.
Funniest holes 6,7,8 trees are in play.
Hole 7 right hand side arm or a very under stable disc. I used a valkyrie, laced the hole 4 times.

Little bit of elevation change in which I like as well.

There was distance markings on the tee pads but looks like they have worn off. Bring a score sheet if you would like to know the distance of the hole when playing. I would recommend that. Map is also helpful. On the map hole 1 and 2 should be flipped around and they do criss cross each other.

This is a good course to get your throwing arm warmed up and to work on so new disc. In the summer time there might be a lot of people walking around, remember it is a park for everyone. I just played it in the fall on a sunday not to much traffic.

I recommend playing this course. It's not to difficult.
I rate this course around 2.75 will play again.

- Concrete Tee Pads
- Baskets catch well and are in good shape
- Good for a quick play
- Play ground and bathrooms right next to Tee #1 & Basket #9
- Holes 1-2 & 9 give you some elevation change
- Holes 6 & 7 are moderately wooded
- Holes 5 & 8 have trees you need to throw around

- Holes 1 & 2 cross each other
- No Tee signs
- Holes 1-4 are all open shots
- There is a river but it will only come into play if you really overshoot baskets on #1,5 & 6

I play this course when I'm traveling from Salt Lake to Idaho. It's not hard to get to off the freeway. It's a quick play to stretch the legs and let the kids rub around the playground.

nice looking park

nice tees

nice baskets

holes 6, 7, 8 (I think) have trees and require some shot shaping

great beginner course

other than the three holes listed above this course is just wide open grass. not very interesting, but they did what they could in a park that is just that, wide open grass.

the tees were painted with hole number and distance, but the paint has worn off and is illegible now.

really nice park.

This is the most fun my wife has ever had playing disc golf, which is huge because usually I can't even talk her into coming with me. She is more excited about disc golf now.

Nice easy course to play. All baskets are easy to spot. Park is pretty open and not too crowded with people. The concrete tee pads are super nice having. I played an easy round in about 30 minutes and the park was empty. There is a river with water always running fast. This comes into play on hole #1, #5, and #6. If you throw a heavy disc plan on wading in after it. I thought my disc would be swept away but I guess I was lucky. It is a fairly open course but there are some trees to offer fun obstacles on most of the holes.

There was never a super difficult shot which is why this would be great for beginners. None of the holes are super long.
I hate hate hate when there are not clear signs to mark the course. For example, even though I had played the course before, I was confused by the first hole. The map is incorrect. The tee pad for holes one and two are switched. So hole number one is actually closer to the bathrooms. There is a sign at the first tee pad that shows a few of the rules of disc golf.

Also something that bugs me about this course is that after you play hole one, they make you walk all the way back to where you just threw from and throw down the hill again for hole two. To avoid feeling like I was getting exercise and not having fun, play from hole one back to hole 9, by the bathrooms.

The course does use what little elevation change there is to its advantage. On hole number 8, the concrete pad is clear on top of the hill as you walk around the tennis courts. When I played the first time, I didn't know this and we just started from next to the tennis courts. This made us lose out on playing a harder hole.

Overall its a fun short course that you can play if you have a few extra minutes and you are in the area. It's pretty much all grassy area you play on so for me wearing work clothes for a quick game works well.

This is a great beginner course - and it looks like it is designed with the beginner in mind. The tees are all concrete. The holes have very few obstacles (there are small elevation changes). And each hole has 1-2 extra strokes added to par (meaning they have 350' par 5 - in an open field shooting down hill). I play all the holes at par 3 and was 8 under on my second game. Not a ton of challenge, but I took my wife and kids up and they really enjoyed it.

The biggest con is that there is not a lot of challenge in this course for the pros for the same reason that this is a beginners course.

Here is the best advice: if you are in the Northern UT area and are a beginner or are introducing someone to the sport, take them to this park, if you are a pro, make the drive 1/2 hour south to Riverpark and skip it.
