Fun and Laid Back 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 17, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to find and get to
Big parking Lot
Bathrooms in the park

Large Homemade baskets - Some people might look at this as a negative but for what they are they are pretty decent. They actually catch pretty well even though it looks like you disc is just going to cut right thru and they are at least 1.5x bigger then normal baskets so putting is a lot easier.

Teepads are rubber and teesigns are cheap and not too helpful but at least they have them

They used the small amount of elevation in this park very well for the disc golf course, but sadly holes 1, 2 and 3 are the only ones that can take advantage of it.

This course has a mix of super short, less then 200' holes and some 450+ holes with most in the 300-350 range.

Cons:

Rubber teepads tend to hold water after the rain and rubber in general is just bad. But I will say the grip on these is half way decent.

Teesigns are just the cheap run of the mill signs that give no real information about the hole other then the hole number and the distance

Distances on the teesigns are off on quite a bit of the holes.

Some holes are almost impossible to throw more then 50' off the tee without hitting a tree. The course goes thru the park that has a lot of small to medium trees and the lines they want you to throw are just to low. Most of this could be taken care of if the trees were maintained for disc golf.

A few holes are a bit too close to other things in the park. One hole plays right next to a picnic pavilion, others play close to bathrooms and play areas. I dont have much of an issue with this since I can modify my shots to play around people and I feel confident enough to execute shots but most people would have trouble navigating around people.

Other Thoughts:

Overall the course is fun for what it is. Its not very challenging but it doesnt have to be. The baskets catch your eye right away and make you feel tiny standing next to them. The course could be a lot better if it was manicured a bit for disc golf but the challenge of what it is, is quite fun. If you are up in this next of the woods I wouldnt tell you not to play it but dont expect a whole lot out of it.

This course was 9 holes but is now 18 holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Pretty, peaceful park with mature trees in some parts. Much of the warm season, there are flower beds near holes 1-7.
- Tees have signs with hole #, distance, par, and fairway layout.
- Tees have rubberized pads.
- Mostly nice lauout uses the levee for elevation change on holes 1-3.
-Trees offer nice obstacle challenge on most holes

Cons:

- Rubberized tees pads are too short.
- The chain baskets used here don't catch discs as well as double chain used in more modern baskets. Still they work fine and their design is a novelty
- Hole 18 is too close to a picnic table. It should be moved closer to the tee to avoid hitting people eating.

Other Thoughts:

The course uses two basket styles, both of which appear homemade. The first 8 holes and hole 18 use and old single chain with a very tall post, about six feet tall. It tends to deflect shots that hit toward the sides of the chains. The remaining holes use a nicer style basket but it's abnormally low. The basket is nearly on the ground.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 22, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is well marked.The first 3 holes use the small hills, very nicely. The rest of the course is flat.There was no waiting for others.

Cons:

I find the homemade baskets, a little to tall. Could use more chain. The Teeboxes are in a rough state. A combow of grass, dirt, rocks & platsic. Safety is a slight problem, on holes 3, throwing across the road.Holes 7,8,& 9, you must watch out for other people. Only had 1 disc that fell out of the bottom of the basket, after the chains caught it.

Other Thoughts:

A very nice park. Room for parking is nice.I subject that you walk the course first, during the daylight. I would like to go back and play again.
