When you step up to the first tee pad and see the road to the right (OB), a long, wide field (OB) between you and the basket, and also the small cluster of trees near the basket, you know immediately this is going to be a long and difficult course. What you may not realize is that this is only the tip of the iceberg for a course that's filled with fun and challenging layouts. Some holes have blind tee shots, some have OBs, some have weeds, some have water hazards, some have trees, some are hilly, and some have mixture of those. Also, the wind can sometimes be a factor with your shots. Jones Park East is in great shape and shows no mercy to anyone regardless of skill level. The challenges vary with each hole, encouraging you to use different types of throws throughout the course. Each hole has multiple basket locations which offer more variety and more challenges for you to deal with. Even if you don't play that well, you'll still enjoy the experience of playing on this beautifully designed course. It's strategically set up so that if you make the right decisions with a long and accurate throw, you can usually set yourself up for a good chance to get a decent score. That's a lot easier said than done though for this long and difficult course.

This course might be a little too difficult for beginning players, especially if they don't have strong arms, but it's a course they'll definitely want to work up to. They'll probably be better off playing the friendlier, though still challenging, West course in this park first.

This course will challenge you in almost every imaginable way, but the holes are designed in ways that also make them very fun to play. Depending on your skill level, you may not get a low score on this course, and you might possibly lose a disc or two, but you'll still enjoy playing here. It's easily one of the best courses I've ever played.
