John Adams is a small park in the middle of Brigham City. It has restrooms, a picnic pavilion, a fire pit and grill, a playground, a sand volleyball court, and lighted tennis courts. In the middle of all this is the meandering Box Elder Creek which winds right through the middle of the park. There are two parking lots for the park one on the north at N 500 E and one on the south at N 500 E, the park prevents the road from going through. Unfortunately, hole 1 is not located near either parking lot. Instead it is found on the east side of the park along N 600 E, with only street parking. Hole 1 and 2 play down a slope into the park. As others have mentioned, most of the holes are short, with only one hole over 400 feet and most fewer than 300 feet. There is some possibility of water hazard from overthrows on holes 1, 2, 5, and 6 but for the most part the creek is out of play other than for pretty scenery. This seems to be a perfectly reasonable recreational course, I don't know if it's changed from previous reviews but it's not bad.

Holes 1 and 2. As The Grim mentioned there is a definite problem here, the flow is just bad. I don't know if he's right about the fairway cross or the maps right about which pad is which, but having to walk up to hole 2 after 1 is still a bad design. I think my suggestion would be to have Hole 1 play from Hole 2's tee, from the map, to Hole 1's basket and then adding a tee down by Basket 1 that plays a nice hyzer along the creek to Basket 2, if that all makes sense, in fact that's what we ended up playing after a bit because we didn't want to walk back up the hill.

Hole 9. This is sort of a blind shot around the restroom building back up to the road and the teepads.

Short Holes. Some of the holes are a little short, but not unreasonably so. Both of the under 200 holes have some slight uphill to compensate for the shorter distance. There are no long bombers here to be sure, but the distances aren't unreasonable.

Multi-Use Park. As with all multi-use parks, there are the potential of other park users rendering the course unplayable. I wish all DG course were DG exclusive, but it simply isn't going to happen. Please, represent the sport, be courteous to others, and serve as ambassadors to the game, if others our on the course try to get them to play if possible, or simply skip.

Navigation. There are no signs, and the writing on the pads is really faded, making navigation difficult without a map. With a map the park is small enough to find the pads. The signage is perhaps the biggest con of this course, I would like to see actual signs marking holes and maybe an intro sign on N 600 E marking the course. Also, ideally you would want warning signs posted around the course for other park users. With better signage, I could see rating this course a 3.5.

I don't know why all the hate on this course, it seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable recreational/beginner friendly/family and youth friendly course. It could use better signage for sure, but the holes themselves are perfectly fine. Not every course needs a 500 foot par 3 to be a good course. This course should serve as a good introduction to the game and as a very family friendly course, as well as practice on upshots and putts for better players.

This is a great disc golf course for beginners, and a great place to take the family as it has a playground area and restrooms.

Several short holes, some elevation, a few decent length holes, and good use of trees to require a variety of shots.

Good Tee pads.

The layout of the first two holes really struggles with crossing fairways and a significant walk to the number 2 teepad. Hole number 9 is short and fun, but is a blind shot right by the #1 tee shot and area where other park users pedestrians might be.

No signage, and hard to figure out where to go your first time if you don't have someone to follow.

Great place to play a quick round or two.

I've always wanted to play a course that could be parred with just a putter, and this is it!

It's actually quite a nice little park with a fun, yet arguably overly easy, course through it. They do make good use of the hills and trees to try to toughen it up a bit, but let's face it, it's still just a beginner's course, and that's ok.

The tee pads are good, so props to the locals who put them in. There are bathrooms and running water which is always a bonus.

Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful area, the picturesque mountains and the burned out building by hole 4/tee pad 5. Absolutely stunning.

The map on here is incorrect for holes 1 and 2. They actually cross each other, which is a big fail in course design. Hole 1 starts by the restrooms. Plus you throw hole 1 then have to walk all the way back up the little hill and throw 2. It's just not good form.

Ok, now that we have that crying moment taken care of...

Aside from the somewhat wonkie (yes, I used the word wonkie, I'm cool like that) design of the course and no signage the only other con is really the length of the holes. Hole 4 is really the only one that is driver-worthy, unless you are trying out some different throws.

Look, not all courses need to be world-class to be fun. It's short, so take the opportunity to bust out some different throws or actually drive with your putter for a change. It was hilarious to see some guys throwing discs like softballs on hole 3!

An all-putter, tommies only or a rollers only round (yes, I'm aware of the "how do you roll a put into the basket" argument, deal with it somehow) or even frolfing, you know, with an actual frisbee, would be fun to play here.

Fun course in a really nice park. Good use of space and geography. Nice placement of baskets in and around trees. Really enjoyed playing this one.

Only 9 holes but you can always play through twice.

Generous pars. I really liked throwing down to 1 and 2 from up on the hill. If I lived closer I would play this one every day.

its a fun course but with some wide open shots there are lots of ace oppurtities there is onlyt one hole that i have to use a driver hole 4 wide open but a semi far hole but i only used 5 discs when i played 1 driver 2 midranges 2 putters there are cement teepads

there are alot of open shots with know obsticals thaere are alot of people walking

play riverdale utah state univerisity and this one there are pretty close together

-Short holes make for good beginner course
-Wide open fairways also make for good beginner course
-Stroller accessible

-Not very challenging, too short and open for most shots
-Creek ran through middle of course, yet you never have to throw over it for any hole... poor use of creek

Still a fun place to play, not anywhere near the best I have played at though. Currently it is the closest course to Logan UT and Utah State University now that the USU course was taken out.

Well we switched up holes and now its in good shape. We also got new concrete pads and made the holes a lot more challenging. Its was first a course for beginners, and i guess if you are Barry Schultz like who you say you are then i guess its still a family course. We do not have signs up at holes but are working on it. And we have plenty courses nearby like, Wolf Mountain, Snow Basin, Riverpark, Logan but probably dont want to go there if you think Brigham is bad. We had doubles going for awhile but it just kept getting smaller so we just quit. And no its not because of the course. You are one hundred percent right about the tee pads being fifty feet long, shows you how much that course gets played by legit players right? We took the dirt that we dug up for the tee pads and put in place of the fifty foot seven forty seven runways, so maybe we might get some grass going on, but who knows, Brigham City waters that park like water is going out of style so it should be good, So all and all it has gotten a lot better. Im a local and at one time i got sick of the course, but now i take every chance to play it.

Swamp on hole four in the summer, Brigham needs to water somewhere else besides right there. Ummm the city guys need to quit Bajaing through the course especially when the grass is really wet.

Its a great course, Us locals spent a lot of time in it the last year or so, so go check it out.

Very clean course in a public park. This is a great beginner course. The locals have created some alternate tees to add distance. Drinking Water and restrooms are available. Turn on the tennis court lights for night golf!

The lack of space calls for short holes.

expect the winter wizards tournament in Jan 09!
