Pros:
Mary Jo Peckham Park is a large, very green and lovely park which judging by the overflowing parking lot is very, very popular. There seems to be a large amount of activities to choose from. Fishing in the large pond might be first on the list. Originally, I drove in on the parking lot side and couldn't figure out where the disc course was. I finally drove around some more and located the disc golf course at the far back end of the northern side of the park.
This area of the park feels very much like a golf course with a luxerious carpet of thick, lush grass, gently rolling terrain, scattered mature trees and the pretty lake further in.
The only sign I found was one giving the fishing regulations. I couldn't come up with a connection between these fishing regs and disc golf although I have fished many discs out of water before. Maybe, there is a limit to how many discs you can fish out per day.
There is a simple tee sign stating the hole # and distance. The tee pads are natural marked with a front board. The baskets are new Chainstars.
# 1 is 270' to a basket set under some trees. # 2 has you throwing 321' to a basket set on the right side of the fairway. It's easy to mistakenly go for the basket straight ahead. # 3 is interesting in that there are trees directly in front of the pad and you have to throw by them to a basket 382'.
# 4 is 258' throwing off a slightly elevated pad. # 5 is 302' and the walking path looms in your right. You finish your round with a little 237' toss where you have to navigate through a grouping of trees.
Cons:
Only six holes.
Parking is pretty limited on this side.
Holes are all between 237' and 321'. All have somewhat the same feel.
Natural tee pads.
This seems to be an area where you will encounter other folks. You may have to wait until they clear. Have patience, my son.
Other Thoughts:
I'm not aware of any six hole courses having a lofty rating anywhere close to 3.0 Even if there were nine holes here, I still couldn't justify anything higher than a 2.5. It is very lovely and green but the golf is quite pedestrian like. Each hole is basically a straight ahead shot where you have to navigate through a few trees. There is nothing very exceptional about that.
I'm not putting this course down or anything. I like it and would come back if I lived close. The fun factor is here but not the variety or challenge.
