Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pulling into the lot , there is adequate parking space here . The bathroom is to the far left of the first tee and on the side of hole #9 . Leisure Park is a 9 hole course .
The Equipment : All tee pads are cement . The baskets are basic Machs . The signage is good , with Hole# , par , distance and map of tee to basket . I saw no kiosk , so print the map , because it can get confusing which basket you throw to .
The Landscape : The park and course was mowed and well taken care of when I was there . Leisure Park DGC is in the shape of an L , with 1-3 going down the side , then 4 & 5 going out and back ( bottom of the L ) and 6-8 filling in the other side , with 9 going into the middle . Packing 9 holes into an area this size is impressive . There is little elevation here . some very slow and light grades on some holes . There is no real overgrowth here , but a large creek may come into play on the right side of hole #5 . The mature trees here are lightly scattered around the park .
The highlights : The better holes here were #4 , which is a light-sloping downhill 305' where you have to bring it slightly left to right from the open fairway . #5 was back up the #4 slope on the right . The brush and the creek are on your right and the basket is tucked away at the end on the right , on the right 310' away .
Disc Risk : Very low . I don't know how hard it is to get down in that creek and be able to fish your disc out , but if you avoid it , you shouldn't lose your disc .
Time : The course was busy on the Monday late evening that I played . It still only took me maybe 30 minutes to play . A group of 4 could play this in under an hour . It is short and fast .
This course is as popular as it is fun . There were probably 20 people on this 9 hole course the whole time I was here . Disc golf has caught on in this immediate area . The locals here are friendly ,

Cons:

#1 Safety : Yikes ! The course is so tight that 2 & 6 might collide with drives to the already driven . 4 & 5 could have the same effect , and maybe 8-9 or a wayward drive from 9 to 7 . The locals do their best to provide disc golf courtesy , but several on the course are newbies , families or 1 discers and are not as skilled to provide it . Also , holes 2 and 4 fairways have fenced in back yards on the right side of the fairway . I threw a glider too close and it ended up in a back yard on 2 . The fence is open on the far end , but it would be terrible to nail some kid playing in the dirt in his own back yard .
#2 Navigation . Print your map or follow a local . Even though the course follows a flow , you will encounter baskets to throw at which are the wrong ones ( 1-9 , 6 instead of 2 , 7 instead of 6 )
#3 Challenge . The trees make the challenge here . It is a short course with little elevation . Good players can tear this course apart . Not much variety to the course . No par 4's or 5's , no doglegs . At the end , I was even hoping for a hanging or elevated basket .
No amenities to speak of , but pure disc golf .

Other Thoughts:

If I had played this course at 6:30 in the morning ,and been by myself , I wouldn't have though much of it . But this course was alive when I was here , even on a Monday night with threatening rain . I was also surprised to see a group of 5 decent ams playing . Leisure Park doesn't seem like much , but is gets a LOT of love from the locals . it's just a shame that there is no room to expand this course to 18 holes .
My Recommendation : Decent intro course for the curious , newbies , families , and dates . Locals and 1 discers love this course . local intermediates and ams must meet here to hone their game , socialize and one-up each other . A pro might not bother unless to hang out . This course is great for both the traveler on rt 30 going to/from Ft Wayne ( it's very easy on the legs and fast ) , and not far off I-75 . Course Collectors can grab this along with several others a short distance away . This is not a course I highly recommend , but it is a fun short play and a great leg stretch . If not a local , stop for a round if on the highway .
