Reviewed: Played on:Dec 9, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a great course. New tees, new signs, new baskets. It was designed to teach new players how to play disc golf not to mention it is ADA Certified.

It has mulch around every basket and throughout the woods.

It has great variety. There are holes in the open (1 & 9), holes with w few trees (1, 2, & 3), and heavily wooded holes (5 - 8). There are also a few holes with tall grass bordering the hole (4 & 9).

Since it was built for beginners, an intermediate or professional has a great chance to get a hole in one on any hole. If you miss, you will gain great experience putting on holes in the open and in the woods.

This is a great practice course for more expended players. A change of pace if you are looking for a relaxing day of disc golf.

A great course to take you friend, child, elder, significant other, etc. to teach them how to play.

Cons:

The holes are short. If you are looking for more of a challenge, The Hills is not even a half mile away and Dillion is about a mile and a half away. If you want less of a challenge, play a loop of 1-4 & 9. Holes 5-8 are in the woods and use the same path for entry/exit.

Course can be busy. I have never ran into this soccer practice issue but I have ran into several large groups playing disc golf. These groups seem to throw multiple discs at a time in attempt to get an ace. (Confidence builder can be a Pro I guess)

I personally have never experienced a con for this course. Great use of land, great area of town, and built for a purpose.

Other Thoughts:

I was extremely impressed with this course. Dennis does a great job with his course design. I took my girlfriend here over the summer to teach her disc golf and now she is no longer afraid to play a more challenging course with me.

I can't wait for the trees on holes 1-4 to grow a little bit. It will provide that much more of a challenge, not to mention shade!

If you come with kids there are a few playgrounds, a splash park, and nice trails in the woods.

Once you have mastered this course, feel free to visit the other courses in Northeast Indianapolis (Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Castleton) for more of a challenge.

great warm up course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 18, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I like to play this course with my putter. It's a nice mix of open and wooded holes. None of which require a great arm. The wooded holes are a bit tight but doable.

Cons:

may not be playable on a busy day. we've been lucky and always had the park to ourselves.

Other Thoughts:

Great playground if you have kids.

Perfect for its purpose 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 21, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice pads, signage and baskets. Easy to follow markings. GREAT for bringing your kids or practicing with your mid-range/putter. Nice mix of open field and woods.

Cons:

No real cons, this is perfect for it's purpose. This is not a place for big D. You won't need a driver. Only 9 holes.

Other Thoughts:

Play it with your kids. Play it with your mid-range/putter. Great place to fine tune your aces.

Waterpark 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 9, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to see holes and next tee boxes. Newly made course so concrete pads and maps are very nice! Good for practicing mid range/putting game.

Cons:

The holes are so short! only averaging about 120ft. definitly a beginners course. The first couple holes are by the waterpark thing and if its during the day it loud with children running around. The wooded holes seem like they rushed on it and you really have no strategy throwing through the trees, to many trees blocking holes on most holes.

Designer response by MacDaddy
The course is designed to be a teaching course for kids, families and new players, as well as even ADA park users. The 4 holes in the woods have the fairways fully mulched, from tee to pin. Each of the 4 has a distinct route to teach the student; hyzer, straight, an-hyzer, and S flight. You can trust that a great deal of time and thought went into those holes in the woods. And the average hole length is aimed at a 5th grader. So, you can probably play disc golf better than a 5th grader!

It is what it is 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-practice course for advanced players
-great way to teach people disc golf
-enough trickery between the trees right by the baskets and then the woods to give some thought to your approach shot

Cons:

-I'm not giving this any negatives. It was built with a purpose, and it meets that purpose very well. Beginner/Youth/hopefully ADA course, that anyone can play and work on their game.
-ok, 1 negative. #4 is a bit silly with the tall grass.(could lose ADA due to that, and possibly need to widen the paths in the woods.

Other Thoughts:

Nice little "long putt" course. i played it with just my long and short putters. It was fun, throwing 100-150 slow turnover approaches, with the shot to get an *ace* on each hole is fun. With all the courses in the area, i don't have a place to practice my 100-150' shots, since i never land in that distance, so i use this course for that.

Nice beginners Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Played this new course with my two girls. This is a nice course for kids being rather short. As a beginner I found it challenging enough especially holes 5-8 in the woods. Nice concrete pads, new baskets and I like the practice putting basket. Plenty of parking and restrooms which are nice when you have kids.

Cons:

Short course for advanced and more experienced players. Hole 4 basket sits in tall vegetation and stray shots can be hard to find. The holes in the woods are tight for novice players.

Other Thoughts:

This park gets used a lot in Spring and Fall by Carmel Dads club soccer teams. Practices will start soon and it could interfere with the course. Especially since the parents tend to sit near the bank under the trees. If they do the will be directly in the path between tee to basket. Just be aware that if you want to play on a weekday you could run into a lot of people in the way.

Quick and Easy... but fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 3, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great tee pads.
New Discatchers
Not heavily wooded but enough trees to make things interesting.
Plenty of ace runs (got my first ever ace on hole 3)
Plenty of Birdieable holes
A good warm up for nearby Dillon and VERY nearby Northview
Practice basket with distances marked out.
Restrooms nearby and a water playground for kids, three playscapes for kids to play on while you disc golf.

Cons:

Very short, but being ADA approved and Kid friendly, not a big deal.
Easy to lose sight of discs long on hole 4 and in leaves on holes 5-8
Be weary of kids running between playgrounds

Other Thoughts:

A fun little course, quick and easy to play. Good practice for "S" Curves and putter drives. always fun to play. Can be played in under half an hour, perfect for a quick round. Have fun!!
