Reviewed: Played on:May 2, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has some cool throws. There are three 'tees' for each basket. The baskets are Innova DiscCatchers and were in pretty good shape.

There are left and right finishing holes. Some open and some wooded. There is a throw over a marshy area that is short enough for beginners and noodle arms to feel confident throwing over.

The basket rims were painted with orange, white and blue slashes to show general direction direction to the next tee.

Cons:

Signage is non-existent. Tees are marked with colored pavers. It doesn't appear that many people play this course.

Finding the tees can be very frustrating. There are throws over and near a walking path. It does not look like it gets much use either.

Other Thoughts:

We played from orange tees mostly and the whites a couple of time when we found them.

This is a course with potential. One proper tee pad for each hole would be great. Some signage showing the tee locations better would be nice.

This course is a little off the beaten path and I probably wouldn't go back unless there were some improvements. That seems unlikely as the course did not appear to be played much. Unless you're ticking off courses, I'd skip it.

I love the name of this park! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 23, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

I played the Blue tees, so this review reflects that layout.

Three sets of tees on each hole gives variety.
There are many painted bricks as guide markers; they took a lot of work to put down.

Cons:

The tee Signs are only round painted paver stones, that are flush to the ground, so the next tees can be hard to spot. You need to use your tracking skills to follow the colored guide bricks that are flush with the ground, especially since the three tees often diverge in 3 different directions.
The tees are not framed, they're just dirt or grass with markers in the front, and some are bumpy.
Several holes need to be cleared more of random trees in the fairway.
There are few amenities: no map, no score cards, no warm up basket, no message board with instructions about the 3 layouts. There are restrooms, though.

Other Thoughts:

Blue tees Course Level: Red (most suited for Juniors and Intermediate players rated 825-875)

The course is short, 1490/ 2085/ 2120 ft., so it's most suited to short throwing players. The Orange layout has a 90 ft hole that is a true CR Par 2. By contrast, hole 9, at 400 ft., is a very long hole for Red level players. There is little length variety (Blue tees: 3 of 150-190/ 5 of 200-290/ 1 of 400).
I thought that the terrain was a little below average. The woods are kind of scruffy.
Although the course is best for short throwers such as juniors, new players, seniors, and some women, it's also mostly in the woods, so less skilled players will also be whacking lots of trees, and that may be frustrating for them.
On the many very short holes you expect to score a 2 and feel like you've lost a throw if you don't.
There are slight elevation changes on most holes (2 Flat/ 2 Up/ 5 Down), but from the blue tee hole 1 has a drop of ~30ft.

<span class="underline">A note about my rating:</span> My rating is a subjective measure of my enjoyment of the course, on the day I played it, and it is NOT intended to be a measure of the quality of the course. My ratings are given "on the curve" in relation to all other courses I've played.
