Nice city park course playable by people of all skill levels. 18 holes with concrete tees, tee signs, Discatchers. The course seemed mature and broken in just right, and was a nice mix of fun, challenge, and relaxing.

There was a mix of 6 very open holes with more distance and use of some hillier land with the grass very neatly mowed. The first 3 holes were more park style playing around a few trees. And 9 holes were in a relatively densely wooded area and was my favorite part. There were plenty of trees in this section (holes 5-8, 12-16) to add challenge, yet the ground was either grassy and mowed, or mostly worn dirt, with little to no deep thick stuff except for on the perimeters of a few of the holes. There was always a fair path to the basket, yet not always easy. Mid-range/fairway accuracy and placement definitely required to get 2's and 3's.

Each set of 9 started with some open holes, went to the woods for several, and back out to open to finish up.

Navigation is pretty easy, just look at the kiosk before starting your round at the two places where you have a very short walk across a bridge to get between the open and wooded holes. And if you don't like lots of trees or crossing bridges over a creek 4 times, you could easily play 9 holes without too many trees (1-4, 9-11, 17-18).

The open holes were very open. Only #9 had a tree to avoid, the others were pretty bland visually other than some having some length, a hill, and a break from the woods to allow a chance to rip a drive with little penalty for being off-line.

Hole 11 played along a mini golf course that was also parallel to the walking trail, and tee 11 is on the other side of the splash pad and was very swampy. It was also an out of the way walk to play this one. I understand wanting to maximize the hill and get a 500' downhill hole, but you could have sacrificed a bit of distance and scooted the entire hole over a bit away from the other stuff (maybe the course came first? If so maybe consider moving 11 over some.)

Some of the open holes played over a walking trail (10 and 18 I think). Overall, not completely isolated. The walking trail is very popular and many times I had people watching me throw or asking me about the game (or telling me to get a hole-in-one...) Comes a little close to picnic areas, playgrounds, but is designed in a way those should, yes should, not be a factor.

Pretty course in a nice small town, but sadly #18 had a sign post with no sign, and #12 had neither.

For me it is a strong 2.5+ (Decent), a 2.75 if I could. It has a nice mix of styles and is not terribly difficult so it can definitely be enjoyed by a large range of skill level. Missing signs and some waaay too open holes for my taste keep me from giving it a 3.0, but I did enjoy this course and would not mind playing here again.

I chose to park in the paved area of the parking lot, but on past is a gravel area closer to the practice basket, kiosk, and hole 1.

Really nice park with walking paths exercise equipment, playground and pavilions. Disc course provides a nice mix of wooded and open holes, with nice tee pads and baskets

We played the day after a rain and there was lots of standing water on all the holes. Some of the holes in the woods were pretty tightly wooded

A pretty good course that anyone should try to play if in the area

Kess Creek is a very nice park, with playgrounds, restrooms, a nice basketball court, a few pavilions, and a walking trail running through the whole park. There are some challenging holes on this course, which ups my rating a little bit. There are a few stinkers too, however. The first 3 holes are all fun, with tight lines and tress a plenty. Hole 1 has an elevated basket guarded by a very large tree just in front and to the right. The mound is probably over five feet tall, so discs will roll away from the basket with a miss. Hole 2 is a tight little shot with thick brush on the right and another guardian tree just before the basket, not counting all the trees in between! Hole 3 plays back towards #1 teepad, with several trees blocking your line. Then you get to the first of the stinkers, Hole 4. Just a pad and a basket with nothing in the way. But, right after that one, #5 takes you over the footbridge that spans Kess Creek and into the back side of the park. All of the holes back there are challenging, with tight lines, creek (OB), and thick brush on the back side. Most of the holes are fairly short back there, but that's kind of a relief since there just isn't room to rip anything. Hole 6's basket is hard to find from the pad, but with a quick walk up a little ways, you can find it. 7 plays long across the very back of the park and is another really tight hole. Hole 8 is the first one on the back side that I didn't think really had a fairway. There is very little room to throw through. I'm sure as the course gets played more, more lines will open up. BUT, there are lots and lots of seedling trees that will eventually block most of the alleys out there. Hole 9 takes you back to the front side of the park and is just a field, pad and basket. The only real obstacles on this side of the creek are the people playing in the park. 10 and 11 are also on this side. Then, you get to go back in the "good" side of the park for 12 - 16. All of those are nice holes, with 15 and 16 repeating 8's dilemma of not really having a fairway (all 3 of those are tree city!). Then, you're back in the front side for 17 and 18, with just baskets, picnickers and nothing else in the way. All in all, it's fun to play.

As I mentioned, holes 4, 9, 10, 11, 17, 18 are just a field. 11 is still fun though, because it's 550 feet downhill with thick brush on the left.
The back side seems to be in a gulley as well, because we haven't had a good rain in some time and there was a lot of mud and standing water on the back.
My only other real gripe is the lack of throwing lanes on 8, 15 and 16.

Once those trees on the back side mature, those holes on that side of the creek are going to be almost unplayable. This is a few years away, but branches will be blocking more and more lanes as the years go by. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth playing. Some of the holes will challenge your accuracy, and a few will challenge your distance.
