Gets Repetitive Quickly... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 5, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice baskets that catch well
-Good concrete tee-pads. The tee-pads are not too long, but for the length of this course they work fine.
-The course is very easy to navigate. Tee-pads are close to the last basket and the flow of the course makes sense. You won't spend very much time looking for the next tee-pads.
-There are lots of ace runs on this course
-This is a very good course for beginners. None of the holes are very long or hard and a beginner would have a good time on this course.
-Well groomed park, which is a pleasant place for a round.
-Good map that features the hole distances on the kiosk at the start of the course.
-The trees are grown in enough to add a little punishment on bad shots (but the course still isn't overly challenging).

Cons:

-Very small park area. Holes are very close to each other. If there are a lot of people out on this course, it would be wise to keep an eye out for incoming discs and other players.
-No tee-signs
-This course has a lot of safety issues. Hole 7 tees off right next to a play ground and an errant ricochet of a tree could easily hit the playground. The basket for 9 is also pretty close to the play ground and a shot that goes long could land in the playground. The course also plays really close to several roads. Keep an eye out for cars before throwing.
-This course feels like the same shot nine times. It is basically a straight shot down a fairway lined by trees. It doesn't really feel like there is any variation in the holes, except for a slight change in distances. The course got boring quite quickly.
-Not much variation in distance. All of the holes are under 300 feet and most of them are under 250 feet.
-There is really no elevation on this course at all.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good course for beginners but experience players will get bored pretty quickly. I felt like the area this course sits in was a little small for nine holes. I feel like a smaller course of about 6 holes could utilize this land better. This course is good for beginners or a very quick round. If you have the time for a full round though, the other course in Mitchell, Dry Creek Run, is much better.

Pros:

....

Cons:

Dangerous course. 6 or 7 of the holes cramped into a very small space. Every hole is aceable. Most of the first holes are black aceable.

Other Thoughts:

I did not have fun at this course. The only reason I kept playing it is that I was just killing time and didn't know where the other course was.
