Fun Course for All Ages 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Johnny Roberts is a well manicured, diverse, short range course. Perfect for advanced played looking to practice shorter throws and putting. Great for beginners and even children. Can definitely get away with one or two discs for every hole.
Nice practice area close to #1 tee. Good course sign with tournaments, course rules, and map.
Here is a detailed description for each hole:
#1: Plays straight with OB left and a big tree on the right. Nice hole to warm up for the rest of the course.
#2: Plays over the creek on top of the hill. Water play on the right with big tree on the left and smaller foliage closer to the basket on the left.
#3: Straight with little to no guardian trees. Couple small trees on the right, one larger tree close to basket on the left
#4: Plays out of a couple big trees. Main pin position sits behind a group of mature trees. Straight and to the left for the most part.
#5: Plays over the creek once again with the basket lower in elevation compared to the tee. Possibility of going OB left on/past sidewalk and even into the creek.
#6: First "long" hole on the course. Had a few smaller trees along the fairway with creek on the right side. A few small hills in play along the fairway as well.
#7: Another one of the "longer" holes. Mando tree to the right (stay left) with a couple bigger trees closer to the basket.
#8: Tee plays out of some thick trees that line the entire right side of the fairway, blocking off the sidewalk. Main hole sits on top os a small hill with some bigger trees on the left.
#9: Another "longer" hole with a big tree on the left of the fairway. Several bigger trees guarding the basket. Creek runs along the backside with OB sidewalk on the right.
#10: Has big guardian tree right in front of the tee box. Can play the gap in between the branches or go underneath. Basket is straight ahead.
#11: Big tree on left of tee box. Small tree to the right of the basket. Creek in play past the basket on the left side.
#12: Filled with several guardian trees with creek along the entire right side of the fairway. Short and straight with OB sidewalk long.
#13: Slightly uphill with OB sidewalk left and creek down the hill on the right. Basket in between two mature trees straight ahead.
#14: Short and straight "ACE" hole with little to no barriers to the basket. Some pine trees along the left and a big tree behind the pin on the right.
#15: Big guardian trees on either side of the tee. Creek along the far right side with OB sidewalk long past the hole. Several trees along the left side of the fairway.
#16: Short hole with little visibility from the tee. Several trees blocking the easy line. Very "Aceable".
#17: Another "long" hole that plays on top of a small hill. Big trees just off the tee pad to the right with several more along the right side of the fairway.
#18: Last hole with two large pine trees (that have seen their days) on the right side. OB sidewalk on the right and past the basket. A few small hills along the fairway with large tree from #13 on the left.

Cons:

Several large groups of 5, 6, 7+ players can form on the weekends. (Which is against the rules)
Plenty of adults smoking and drinking adult beverages is regular. (Also against the rules)
As other reviews have noted, can get very busy on weekends.
Basket positions haven't changed since I started playing in December. (Probably because of the winter weather)
Pedestrians frequent the paths, but these are out of bounds anyway so...

Other Thoughts:

You can find me on this course several times a week!
Very friendly locals willing to help new players out - Even witnessed a dude give one of his discs to a kid with his mother.
Excited to see some basket changes this spring/summer. Great place to relax and learn the game.
