WHAT TO EXPECT: Multi-use park course designed by HB Clark that caters to beginners, casuals, families, with just enough distance and bite to challenge recreational players. Well manicured, clean, and up to date park in an otherwise bland landscape.

AMENITIES: Multi-use park with massive parking lots, soccer fields, pavilions, walking trails, both modern bathrooms and port o johns, pretty much everything you would expect out of a modern park (only knock is there are zero water features). Practice basket near parking lot and hole #1 with paving stones indicating each 5 foot increment from the basket. Water fountain, picnic tables, and occassional trash cans on the course.

TEES/SIGNAGE/BASKETS: In typical HB Clark fashion he gets these right with large textured concrete tee pads, large course kiosk with map and all relevant information, full color tee signs with hole maps and all relevant information, and new Red Prodigy baskets. (I believe this course used to have Discatchers, but I can't remember 100%).

DESIGN: With mostly only sparse tall mature hardwoods scattered throughout the property, and small amounts of elevation to work with, this course does probably as good of a job as it could with what is available. There are very few 100% flat holes, but nothing that changes giant elevation either up or down. Trees are used more as a problematic nuisance if you miss your line than a clear "carve this tunnel" application due to their scarcity and how spread out they are. Two Par 3's will really jump out at you (for newer players anyways) due to their distance. Hole #1 415 feet Par 3 that plays slightly downhill and is otherwise wide open minus a tree halfway down the fairway to the left and the parking lot to the right. Hole #13 is a steady uphill the entire way 400 feet Par 3 that has two trees on the left to catch errant shots, the highway on the right, and decent sized gravel drainage area halfway up the fairway on the right that can considered OB. These holes ask a lot of new players but aren't terribly hard to Par. The rest of the course sits in that comfortable 280-325 range (all Par 3's) and are all pretty straight forward birdieable holes. There is a mix of left to right, right to left, uphill and downhill shots that break up the moneteny.

EXTRAS: Definitely a birdie or die course with just enough teeth to allow you to get yourself into trouble. Extremely well maintained, heavily used, and loved by locals. Navigation is pretty easy, but like most HB park courses, there are always tons of baskets in view from the tee at any given point. Good idea to verify the basket you are throwing to is the correct one. Very difficult to lose a disc here and a round can be played relatively quickly. Two distinct 9 hole loops that start and end at the Pavilion near the edge of the parking lot. Extremely cart (or even stroller) friendly. No overgrowth or underbrush to deal with.

Very minor cons here:

FORCED MANDOS: There are quite a few mandos on this course that just feel like they are being used to force a shot shape and not for safety reasons. Hole #2 and Hole #9 are perfect examples of this where just barely off the tee there is a Mando left of a tree and the hole proceeds to swing hard to the right. While I'm all for offering multiple shot shapes throughout a course, forcing them in an otherwise wide open park is kinda bad feels.

REPETITIVE: There are very few deviations from the same thing over and over here. The same shot shapes are utilized (especially on the more open back 6 holes across the road), over and over. It can get extremely boring.

DIFFICULTY: Well below average for most 18 hole courses. We play this course as all Par 3's but I think there was a layout making a couple of the 375-415 footers into Par 4's. And even as an iron man course, almost every hole is a must get. Even casual players should be able to get themselves a putt on each hole (outside of two longer holes).

SAFETY: Alot of the holes are not spaced well and discs from one fairway interfere with another. There is a walking trail around the entire course and walkers can come into play often. The park is extremely busy most days and cars will park in fairways (even during tournaments...) there will be picnicers, dogs, people flying RC planes, or a combination of all sorts of things possibly going on depending on the day. The course is loved, and so is the park, so expect it to be crowded.

Well designed and well loved basic park disc golf course. Nothing breathtaking, nothing glaringly abhorrent. It does the disc golf thing and it does it at an acceptable level. More advanced players won't be drawn here for the beauty or the challenge, but it is a convienent stop just off the interstate and quick play through. I always find myself stopping to play here with friends when traveling through Bowling Green despite it not being an overwhelmingly good course. It's probably because it is such a risk free, let em fly, be social, casual type round course. You can't get into much danger, and you can make a lot of birdies. Not quite a nature hike, but relaxing like one in a different way.

1. Good Tee pads

2. Good baskets

3. Good course flow

4. Virtually no chance at losing a disc

5. Chance to post a good score and still feel like you were challenged

6. No rough or foliage to deal with

1. Not much variety

2. Mostly flat

3. Too wide open on some of the holes

4. Too many straight shots

This course was overall was fun and if your looking to get in a quick round of 18 in Bowling green this is where I would do it. It's a little to wide open on the back 9 but the front 9 has decent amount of obstacles. It just felt like most holes were relatively the same and it didn't have much character to the course or signature holes. This was a This was stop #3 on our 111 hole day and was really easy to whip thru in a short period of time. We were jogging at times but it took 2 avg players 1:30 min to play.

Good signage, good flow, good tee pads and baskets.

Not much variety

Lightly wooded on a few holes but mostly way too wide open and uninteresting. The uphill holes in the trees were the best part. The rain was the worst part.

The course was very beautiful and well maintained. The open holes are very well mowed

It had a great mix of open and moderately wooded holes that made for a good balance. The OB was fair and I didn't mind the mando on 2 which I assume was that there to stop people from throwing over the barbed wire fence on the right.



Nice tee-signs

Just didn't have that wow factor don't get me wrong it is a solid course but it is far from great.

Lack of benches was irritating once again. Also no trashcans that I can remember

I do find holes that are wide open with nothing major in the way to be boring so that took away from the course in my eyes.

This course was a good one to play. It was the best one that my division played at BG however it still wasn't anything special imo. The wooded holes added a little difficulty but it was easy to get up and down(unless you went ob) due to virtually no rough. I would recommend this one over the others that I played here for sure but some of the other courses in town are likely more worth your while.

Loves Lane is a slightly longer course with some large mature trees and no underbrush. It has nice discatcher baskets and big concrete tee pads.

The mature trees create multiple lines to the basket on many of the holes and present the fun challenge of navigating them. There are moderate sized rolling hills throughout the course which adds to the fun. While the course is a bit on the long side, there's still a decent variety of hole length with 5 holes under 300 ft, 8 between 300-350 ft and 5 holes between 350-500 ft.

The course is easy to navigate, there's a large course map at the start of the course and the tee signs get the job done. There's a practice basket, restroom and water fountain and the course has looping 9's.

While there are a good amount of mature trees on about half the course, the other half is basically wide open, especially the back 9.

There isn't a good shot variety here. A couple holes force turnover shots and some have multiple routes to the basket, but most are too wide open to force any sort of line to the basket.

IMHO, hole 2 has a gimmicky mando forcing you to keep from throwing the hyzer route.

The distance makes this a good course for more advanced players and the lack of under brush makes it very friendly for newer players.

Lovers Lane is a fun course worth playing when you're in Bowling Green. The distance adds to the challenge, but the course is so open

The course plays through a grassy city park with stands of trees and some rolling hills. Though the elevation changes are fairly minor, the design uses them as much as possible to add some variety and fun. There are a couple shorter ace run holes, and one nice long ripper hole, also adding a little variety. The front nine plays mostly through a stand of trees, so most of the holes have multiple lines through the woods. The back nine has a little more elevation, and is quite a bit more open with scattered young trees.

There is a nice course map at the beginning of the course, and the flow is good enough that you don't even really need the map. There are decent concrete tees, and basic signage with hole layout and distance. The diiscatchers are in good shape and catch well. The park is nicely maintained, and free of conflicts between the course and other park users.

This course is very open, especially the back 9. There just aren't enough obstacles to really force you to throw different lines, and the challenge is pretty low here. The distances are mostly in the same range, making the course feel even more repetitive. The holes that do play through the trees don't have a huge variety of hole shape, with none that have hard bends one way or the other.

Many holes play close to one another, so there could be some ducking necessary on a busy day. Some of the signs have been vandalized or broken off completely. There weren't very many trash cans, and this showed with litter scattered around the course.

This is a fun course, and very beginner friendly with reasonable lengths for the most part, and not much punishment for errant shots. More experienced players won't find themselves challenged much here, and there just isn't enough variety to put this course up with the better ones in the area. If you have time, this is a nice place for a relaxed round, but don't put it at the top of your list for your Bowling Green trip.

Very, very, clean. Mostly grip and rip holes. Easily accessible from the major interstate nearby. Easy to navigate with pretty decent signage (One hole's sign was missing completely; and some of the others had typical hoodlum damage as well; but were still professionally constructed).

It's a walk in a park in that every inch of the place is mown grass. Most of the tree's cannot be more than 25 years old; or the few mature one's typically do not even come into play. Aside from #15 (500 footer), the rest of the holes were in the 250-350 range where a RHBH anhyzer or RHFH hyzer can get you within birdie range. Several of the tee/fairway placements are right alongside others; so the chances of getting plunked with a disc are fairly high compared to more heavily wooded/wide open courses.

After playing the nearby Holler in the Hills DG course earlier in the day, playing the Lover's Lane course was simply a letdown of epic proportions. While this would be a good course to go and practice gripping/ripping, the fact of the matter is that it's not technically challenging enough to be of any real assistance in prepping for most highly rated, technically difficult courses. Still, I've played many far worse courses.

There isn't a lot of elevation available, but the course does a decent job of making use of it. The wind can be a pro, when it comes to adding a challenge to the course. It is designed to be a very fun play - like most of the Bowling Green, Kentucky courses. There is nice variation in the hole distances. Additionally - it is easy to navigate, the signs are as well done as anything around (easy to read, simple, and straightforward). Overall it is very well kept up.

I can't be too enthusiastic about Lovers Lane. It does what it can with the property - but the bomber holes feel tweener length (10, 13, and 15 specifically). The wind can be aggravating, of course, but hasn't been when I've been out there. The biggest issue I have is the lack of true variety in sort of shots and the way that the elevation is used. It feels like it could have been used more effectively - you throw across valleys instead of from top to bottom or bottom to top. A design that played along the valley's slopes could have been more effective.

I understand that this is one of the original Bowling Green, Kentucky courses, and a lot of people have a lot of love for it - but I honestly feel like I'm doing it a favor rating it a 3.0 instead of a 2.5. I have fun on the course, which is the primary reason for that bump... but I don't feel like it is as good as the other courses in the area - Kereiakes, White Park, et al.

The front nine is great, and they there are lots of good shade tree's. They do a good job keeping the grass mowed as well.

Back nine is long and no shade tree's. If more tree's are grown on the back nine in a few year's it would get better.

The road right next to it can suck some times.

This is your typical parks course set on gently rolling hills with several trees, but it is one of the nice parks courses you can play. The course is well-kept, and it is frequently played. There is a spacious parking area. The park itself and course are very easy to find. It has a large and detailed course map on the kiosk between tees #1 and #10. The tee signs are detailed and colorful, and the sign posts/bag holders are easily visible from the previous basket. You do end up back at the parking lot after #9 and #18 so there is a definite front and back 9. I really like the mulch surrounding the basket on a couple of holes; I wish all the baskets had that.

There is a good variety of hole length, a little elevation in play, and lots of trees to avoid. There is no undergrowth so finding discs is super easy even if you miss your lines- a bonus for newer players.

Only a few minor cons: The overall course layout is questionable in places- some of the holes/tees are really close to each other, on other holes the walk to the next tee can seen unnecessarily long, and twice you almost backtrack. There is only a portable toilet as a restroom at the course. The quality of the back 9 drops off a little from the front 9. Grass can be thick at times in the summer if they have not mowed.

The front 9 is more wooded and the back 9 is a little more open. (I prefer the front 9 as it is a little more interesting.) There is some variety in shots required (straight, right, left), but most holes have multiple options. Overall this course is not too difficult. There are obstacles but usually plenty of room to recover from errant drives. There are couple of longer holes (400'+ range), but nothing ridiculous, most of the holes are in the normal 250'-350' range.

The course has a high rating, but I personally would not put it ahead of several other BG courses (like Keriakes and Hobson Grove). This course seems to be popular, and justifiably so, as it is an excellent place for the average casual player or a family to play a quick round and work on all aspects of their game (and it is definitely a top course if this is what you are looking for), however the experienced disc golfer may not see this course as a 4.0 as it might be viewed as too easy or worthy of only one or two rounds before getting bored. Although, you can't go wrong by deciding to play a round or two here, but be sure to play the other top courses in Bowling Green as well.

Beautiful well maintained park with water and restrooms available. Lovers offers a good mix of distances and shot selection. Absolutely no poison ivy, ticks or schule to lose discs in.

Though the back nine offers much more distance there are no true par 4 or par 5 holes on the course.

I would love to see this course retooled to add some true par 4's on the back nine where a couple of the holes come so close already.

The signage is excellent and the course is very well maintained. There are a lot of holes where you can just reach back and throw hard.

Porbably too wide open as a result it can get kind of boring. Not really a con but with the lack of trees it can be breezy.

At times it feels like you are just out in a big field throwing discs because it is so wide open. It's a relatively easy course and sometimes that's what you want to play. Imagine Kereiakes but flatter and with half the number of trees.
