Yes Santa , It Is A Fairly Unorthodox Design! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 2, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Kellogg Park DGC is conveniently located just off I-90 in Kellogg, Idaho. The park has a swimming pool, playground equipment, a picnic shelter and a ball field. The course's design seems to utilize some element of each of these structures in it's design. I don't think they all work.

The course starts at the back side of log cabin. The signs are the old school fiberglass ones that were in vogue about 25 years ago. Most course designers signed off on them as they are prone to getting beat to hell by the vandals. The ones here in Kellogg Park are in pristine condition, not one tiny crack was observed. The tee pads are red building blocks and I believe, they have been lengthened at some time. The nice DGA baskets with the always hard to read red numbers are in great condition. Hole lengths probably average around 300'. Rollers are required on two or three holes.

Cons:

Probably, most criticism regarding this course would be concerning the design itself. I found it a little discombobulated but also kind of quaint. True, this course would be a safety nightmare if the park/course were ever to be filled with children playing gleefully/other disc golfers. I, however, don't foresee either of those happening anytime soon.

There are enough designs flaws to merit concern. The # 2 tee pad butts right up against the ballfields fence. Golfers with a really long run up might want to start at the pitcher's mound. Baskets # 5 and # 7 are both perched right outside the outfield fence.

Other Thoughts:

I wonder if the 7th hole tee pad could have been placed up on the hill above the # 6 basket. That would have been the signature "Top of the World" shot here in Kellogg. Seeing how there is a serious lack of disc golf competition around Kellogg, I proclaim this course as probably slightly below average, a shade above vanilla.

Some Flaws, but Nice to Have a Course in this Area 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 12, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice park

Mach V baskets

Some length for a 9-hole

Flow is decent

One alternate pin position observed, assumption is there are more

Some tee signs (about half of the holes)

Some mature trees in play

Cons:

Multiple crossing fairways

Two holes that play over fenced baseball outfield

Two holes that play over horseshoe pits

Very little variety in shot shapes and distances

Mostly flat

Other Thoughts:

Odds are good that it would be very difficult to play a full round during busy times for the park. There are lots of different facilities and equipment in this park.

Playing RHBH there was one slight turnover shot and one mostly straight shot, besides these everything played straight to fade or hyzer.

Most holes were in the 270' to 310' range. I think a wider variety of lengths would play better, especially for recreational players.

I would consider this an average 9-hole course, one that you won't feel too bad for stopping and playing, but also one you shouldn't feel bad for driving by.
