Nice Way To Promote Disc Golf With Little Land 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

A small parking lot with high curb next to the Dog Park greets you as you pull in . I had never played mini disc golf in all my years until now . This course ( course ? ) has cement tees about this size of a large foot ( no run ups , LOL ) some tiny baskets and 8 pretty decent tee signs ( #3 was missing along with its basket , maybe because of possible injury to the volleyball players ) . The course itself was a novelty . I don't remember ever throwing a mini at a mini basket before , but I actually had fun trying . The very small city park is wide open , so it was a little windy on the Sunday I was there . Hey , you can actually flip these little suckers into the basket !!! The course kind of follows and starts near the front of the park . It shares space with a bird sanctuary , a volleyball court and the dog park , as far as I can tell . The land for all of this is very small and flat . Not much bigger than a large front yard .My signature hole would be #8 ? This was the hole with the raised mini basket . Someone here as a good sense of humor . Anyway , there was only one obstruction on the whole course , a big bush in front of 7 ? Still a fun play if you have never done it . I think I finished the mini course is 20 minutes and saw no one in the park while there . Disc golf doesn't start and end here on the mini course . Just down from it is a regular sized nice practice basket , and a driving range with 2 long tees . The large signs on the range go all the way up to 550' with 50' intervals . Throwing on the range is a nice plus after playing mini disc golf . A lot of disc golf activity on a small parcel of land .

Cons:

#1. The mini course has little challenge but the wind . Course flow is strange . #2. The driving range comes dangerously close to the dog park on the right , which is only 225' or so away . #3 the park is so small , there are no amenities . No real benches , water , shade , etc. but I think I saw a Dairy Queen right across the street , in case you needed a break .

Other Thoughts:

This is a perfect compliment to a nice course that would be right down the road , if there was one . I still liked the idea of trying out mini disc golf , although the new Ethan Page Park might steal this park's thunder .. A great spot for local enthusiast to work out their drives and test the distances with each disc in their bag . I doubt that there is a wait for the range since it has to cement pads . The putting basket helps , too . If I lived close by , I would come here to throw . The small landlocked park shelled out some money and creativity to make something disc golf related in an area that you would have trouble fitting 4 holes into . My Recommendation : If bagging , it's a quick one , but just see it for what it is . A small area for enthusiasts or the curious .
