Cute Course 9 baskets/18 tees 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 1, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Really nice park. Mature trees. 9 Baskets. 18 tee markers. No body playing so easy to play at your own pace. 1 really nice hole on other side of bridge.

Cons:

Old baskets. Cross back over yourself. 1 over water for an amature course that is too hard.

Other Thoughts:

If you want no traffic this is a great course to play.

Kiwanis Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 3, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Close to home

Cons:

They tried their best to make this work but it is awkward at best and if 2 people are I. The park it becomes very crowded.

Other Thoughts:

If you want to catch a quick game then this is the place to play just to get some disc time.

First review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 10, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Course is usually empty. In the many times that we've played there, I've only seen someone else playing a couple of times. Tees are clearly marked and all have baskets that are clearly marked with corresponding numbers as well.

Cons:

Trees! I don't mind the fact that there's trees, but on a couple of holes, they are so numerous and randomly placed to the basket that it's kinda crazy and very hard to just find a line. There's a walking track that people are usually on, so you sometimes have to wait a minute or two to tee off on a couple of holes.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, this 9 hole course is good for practicing for beginners and working on short technical shots. The only disc I've lost so far was here (I was in a spot where I tried a tomahawk throw. First one ever, and it didn't go well. Caught wind and curved right into the creek). There are a couple of holes that you have to throw over a drainage creek. Some areas are shallow enough to get to, but there are some that are deep enough if you put a disc in it, you're not gonna want to go after it, as you can't see anything in the water, and there's no telling what's been thrown in it. Basket #8 near the tennis courts is great for practicing your putting. There aren't really any good places where you're going to throw long drives, but you can practice near tee #1, which is also near the tennis courts. I currently max out at about 190 - 200 feet. However, if you can throw much over 175 feet, then you're gonna start getting into trees. Pecan Acres in Nac is a lot better as a course. If I didn't live in the area, then I wouldn't drive out of my way to play at Kiwanis Park, but if you find yourself here, it's worth a play.

Pros:

Nice tight holes that are fun to practice considering it is only a 9 hole course. I have gone out there in between classes since I currently go to school in town and like I said it is good for practice although not the best design when it comes to safety.

Luckily there is never anyone there so I just have the park to myself and make up shots through the mature pines to the cool old school Mach baskets with heavier than usual chains.

Course despite other reviews has some cool 300-350ft tightish holes which are fun and fairly challenging so I might review it a tick higher than most.

Cons:

Jogging path comes into play and holes 8 and 9 intersect and have a decent walk between each other.

Only 9 holes

Other Thoughts:

Not going to host any tournaments but it is fun for putting and driving practice.
