A great Disc Golf Introduction course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 24, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I really enjoy this fantastic beginner course! This is about as good of a beginner disc golf course as you can get. Lots of more seasoned players will skip this course because it is only 9 holes and only short par 3s. However, don't bypass this course! Instead use this course for what it is perfect for, bringing friends! This is one of the best courses to bring someone who is brand new to the sport and perhaps never thrown a disc before. Very nice layout in a great part of town, well kept, decent tee pads, and Parking is right next to the course with spots always availible. Not normally too crowded.

Cons:

- The holes are short.
- The holes are very close to each other so there is occasional overlap between groups that are playing.
- Sometimes you run into big groups of high schoolers

Other Thoughts:

Grab some dics and bring a friend or family members teach them how to throw here they will love it! Also a great course for dates!

A solid intro course/practice run 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Layout is actually pretty simple. Just use your common sense and follow the dirt paths in the grass to the next tee and you'll be fine.
- Not too long, not too short. The perfect size for newbies, children, and people wanting to test out their new discs.
- Free to play.
- Baskets are very visible, and not hard to miss at all.
- Well trimmed grass makes it very easy to find stray discs.
- Trees are nice, both visually and as an obstacle.
- Depending on when you go, it can be a nice, quiet play through. Best times are weekdays, in the morning, around 8 - 10, and Sunday evening.

Cons:

- Like I mentioned before, depending on when you go, you might also run into a lot of foot traffic. It's a really popular course, especially among younger crowds. Unfortunately, these crowds tend to be more rowdy rather than supportive. But if you don't mind waiting to throw on a certain tee while the group ahead of you goofs off and re-throws for a while until they get the shot they want, then go for it.
- If you're a long distance thrower, prone to more wide-open areas, this course might challenge you on that. You have to be careful not to overthrow your disc and have it end up in the parking lot, or in the road right beside the course. But, this can be seen as a way to get you to hone your mid-range and putting/approaching experience.
- When parking, park as far away from the course as possible. As I just mentioned, the whole disc-in-the-parking-lot thing happens a lot.

Other Thoughts:

In short, I think this is an excellent course, despite the limited space and brief window for a nice quiet game. I highly recommend for newbies and kids, as it's not too long, or tough. Unlike most other courses, the basket isn't too far away from the tee, thus my saying it's perfect for seasoned players to practice their mid-range and putting/approaching shots.
