Other Thoughts:

Best City park style course I have ever been too.The Course is good and well made but its the park that makes it. Worth the drive just because there are so many other things you can do in the park as well. If your coming from the north on your drive in from paducah depending on which exit you take there's some crazy fun place a few miles out on the right.I dont know know how to describe it. Looks kinda creepy. lol

17 good holes 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 22, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is by far the best maintained course in the area--it may be the best at any place I have played. There are benches and even water coolers throughout the course. There was even a park employee the last time I played going around and checking the water coolers. With the exception of maybe one hole, this is a well designed and challenging layout. You better be in shape (especially in the hot months) because you will go up and down slopes for most of the holes. In general, most of the holes are not too long for the average player. It required you to really judge your distances on several holes. You have to be careful on your approaches because most of the baskets are on slopes that can penalize you since the disc may take off and roll away from the basket.

Cons:

The long water hole (#16) is just a very poorly designed water hole. Unless you have a secure long arm, there is not really any place to throw. The fairway for a good player is a long throw over water to a basket that slopes dramatically towards the water. If you take have to take a layup route, then you will be very short of the basket and there is not really any path through a tight maze of trees and a slope towards water all the way down the right side. There should really be a bailout area for average or short throwers.

Other Thoughts:

But for the one hole, I think this is a great course. It provides a challenging round and the hills and slopes are significantly different from any other course in the area. The amenities and maintenance are top notch. The park seems to improve something every time I play this course. There are discs for sale for cash only in the park office.

Love It 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great course and in one of my favorites in the area. Challenging for all par 3's and the elevation changes will test anyone.

Cons:

Be prepared to walk up and down hills..pin placement on some is very tricky. Can't in the lake to retrieve discs if you get wet.

Other Thoughts:

I really do enjoy playing on this course even if it is a little of a drive to get there...easy to find and the war memorial is wonderful.
