Other Thoughts:

I'm a fairly new player but picked up on the game quickly. From what I've gathered this is one of the few courses in the area that wasn't designed by the local Johnny Sias, who is a former disc golf world champion. I feel like it shows in the design. As I said I'm new, but I have played golf for 16 years and some concepts should generally be the same. This course feels like random baskets were just placed where ever they could find spots. There doesn't seem to be any consideration or time put into the lines and positioning on each hole. Every hole is a par 3 and there are simply no lines to the basket. There are far too many trees and awkward looks on each hole. I'm sure I'll be hit with "the holes aren't meant to be easy" and blah blah blah. But a par 3 should reward a great shot that was well placed with a birdie opportunity that is at least within circle. There are many holes here that there are almost no routes even a professional could take to get a good look. There are several areas that are grown up that are wreaking havoc on strategy from hole to hole. The course is in dire need of tender loving care. It seems like most of the holes were just left hand tucked baskets with very little skill involved in navigating them. I'm not a fan of throw and pray disc golfing. The design is terrible on most holes. The park should put more care into maintaining the course. I feel like most of the problems I have experienced are probably due to over growth. Poor design is the biggest flaw for this course. Course SSE rating is something like 47? That cannot be accurate. As I said, I'm not a bad player but I only found 2 birdies on this course in each of the last 4 rounds and they were all outside circle. Needs some TLC.
