Pros:
Very good signage throughout the course, and the course is easily navigable. Provides many different shot types and a variety of different throws in order to play the holes well.
Tee pads are large and provide good footing. Baskets are also in decent condition.
Very nice course for a small town to have. Provides people with a great opportunity to play disc golf.

Cons:
Very short course. I do not think they have even one hole over 400ft. This means that some people do not even need to bring their full assortment of discs.
A lot of holes throughout the course, especially on the hill. Watch out!

Great course to play. I recommend stopping and playing if you are driving through or are in the area.

I was very surprised by this course, unexpectedly. I was impressed with the signage at the beginning mapping out the whole course, as well as the tee post signs being all there and not vandalized in any way. The shots up, down, and around the hill were an awesome addition. Certainly not what you expect when you first begin the course. Definitely worth a stop if in the area.

Pros:
Nice cement tees, nice baskets. Good use of trees to obscure what would otherwise be very simple ace runs at a lot of holes. Good use of elevation. Pretty easy to follow layout, good signs on some of the holes.
Cons:
Short, really short, like the longest hole is under 400' and wide open short. One hole plays really close to the playground, like if there were kids playing I think you have to skip it.
Other Thoughts:
Really short course, lots of putter drives and mid range drives even for someone with a noodle arm like myself. Really interesting use of tucking pins in behind trees to add some difficulty to it. Pretty fun course overall. Good use of the hill on the back 9.

My first course 2+ years drive by

Played on:Aug 10, 2009
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Great first-timer's course. Front 9 short but use trees to add a challenge. Very popular to the younger locals. Had a good, competitive vibe throughout the park.
Cons:
Most of the front 9 seemed awfully short even for a beginner. The back 9 with elevation changes and extra distance are much better. Very congested. Seemed to have many regulars camping on hole 18.
Beware the gopher holes! You will twist an ankle if not careful. Mosquitoes were terrible. Wear spray. Counted 21 bites on arms and legs the day after.

Other Thoughts:
My first time playing Disc Golf was on this course. Had a business trip to the area and colleague brought his discs with him and dragged my along. I was hooked after 3rd hole. Played 2 more rounds later in the week. Found local wally world selling Innova DX discs CHEAP (less than $6).
