Favorite Course in the STL area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 14, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

1. Course is taken care of, and is still evolving. The park was very clean, and the course was also very clean. Each hole has 2 tee locations, the white have concrete tee pads whereas the blue have natural or afroturf pads. I am sure sometime in the near future the blue tees will have pads.

2. Great Design/Layout. The holes were technical with a few longer holes, so the course really tests your control with the midrange, and also let's you rip a drive or two.

3. Signage is key for new players, and the hole signs at this course give a really good example of the hole layout and an idea of how it should be played.

4. Noise, or lack there of. This park is in Waterloo, a small town south of East STL. The park is nestled into a nice neighborhood away from all city traffic and noise, so you can enjoy a day at the park with the family and play a round or two of disc golf in peace.

Cons:

1. The Blue Pads have yet to be poured, but I am sure this will be done in the near future.

2. Navigating the course can sometimes be difficult. There are a few times where there is some distance between holes, so make sure you have the UDisc App open to help navigate from hole to hole.

3. Some of the holes don't have a clear line. We mistakenly played a hole incorrectly off the tee pad and had to re-tee after noticing where the actual hole was.

Playing in the pines 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course starts off with some of the best fairways that exist in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Holes one and two have drives that take you straight through the heart of a grove of lollipop pine trees that stand 60+ feet tall. The fairways are very tight and they command you to throw near perfect lines every time. Holes 3, 4 and 5 all wind around previously unused grass areas and the park grounds keepers have been keeping well maintained. Hole 6 offers a short left to right shot that if you get offline you will once again pay for. Hole 7 is one of the better looking holes on the course as a RHBH player can throw a tunnel shot through another grove of pine trees or they can lay a big hyzer out over the top and let it fade in towards the basket. Hole 8 Is one of the more challenging holes that will require more of a placement shot off of the drive, followed by another touch approach shot...GOOD LUCK on hole 8. Holes 9 and 10 play through some winding wooded shots. Hole 10 also offers a pretty awesome creek on the right side of the fairway, that when full is very nice to play next to. Hole 11 Is another beautiful hole that has guardian trees protecting the fairways all the way down, but you can feel like a hero if you make it through. Holes 12 and 13 get back into the woods for more tight wooded hole golf that will test a lot of the shots you have in your bag. These holes are some of the most fun holes on the course if you can stay in the fairways. Holes 14, 15 and 16 are situated in the best looking area of the whole park. These three holes snake through another grove of the pine trees that leave you with a majestic feeling as you step up to each tee pad. Hole 17 is a wooded hole that can serve as a heartbreaker for an otherwise good round. If you get greedy on this hole, you might end with a nasty kick and be taking your medicine just to get a pitch out for par/bogey. Hole 18 ha got to be one of the best holes in the St Louis area. This is a par 5 that offers a chance at eagle for those who can hit long tight lines. This fairway rolls forward with a gradual drop in elevation. The honeysuckle on the right side of the fairway will eat your disc and the left side of the fairway offers a straight line of trees that can serve as jail. Once you have taken your drive, you are then looking at a drop zone through a narrow alley where you can finally run at the basket.

Cons:

This is still a very young course so it is hard to very judgemental about some of the thick roughs and the young conditions. There are no tee pads yet, but that will surely be coming soon. This course will need to have great amenities that match the feeling and the vibe that you get while walking through the fairways. More trashcans are needed, but it was implied that they will be coming soon.

Other Thoughts:

As this course gets seasoned and all of the amenities get put into the place, this could easily become a 5.00 rated course. Playing blues and whites offer very different experiences and will change the lines that you take on multiple holes. This was a very well thought out course that offers a good time for new players and can certainly challenge well seasoned players as well. Love this course and cant wait to see it grow.
