Other Thoughts:

Lismore park doesn't really have anything that makes it stand out from a disc golf course perspective. The park is mostly wide open, but the designers did a good job incorporating what little foliage was available. The course does have a nice rolling hills terrain, which the designers used heavily. There were a couple of times where I saw a hill and said to myself "I hope they put a teepad on top of that" only to find out a couple holes later that they did! The course is on the short side, but there are a few chances to stretch out. Given the open nature of the course, and the shorter holes, this would be a great course to learn on, but is still a fun course for more advanced players.

Favorite hole for me was definitely hole 17. It tees from the top of a hill, along a ravine, which the basket perched on the far side of the ravine, slightly downhill, maybe 125 meters away.

Considering the limitations of the land, I think the designers did a great job, and the only major improvement that I could see would be to install tee signs to help people find the tees the first time through.
