Well maintained course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Photos at the tee help see baskets whether they are in the A or B position. Nice park with several other activities available. BBQ pits available. Lots of trees to catch high flying discs bul well kept grounds make it easy to spot discs.

Cons:

Could use more trash cans on course to collect trash some just can't seem to hold on to untill they get to one.

Other Thoughts:

Cautious at 11 as it's in an area that can get busy with non playering public.

Pretty park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays through a nicely kept city park. With nice grass and mature trees throughout, it's a pleasant setting for a round. Elevation comes into play on several holes, with rolling hills that offer some nice uphill and downhill shots along with a couple rollaway greens.

There are enough mature trees despite apparently losing a good number recently to force some line shaping. There is some distance variety with several shorter holes and some that offer a chance to air out a longer drive. The concrete tees are a good size and are in fine shape. The baskets show some age but catch fine. The park seemed well kept, with no trash or vandalism and nicely mowed grass.

Cons:

Overall the course can feel a bit repetitive. There is no rough, so errant shots are rarely punished, there are easy par saves from just about anywhere you could end up. The mature trees are pretty, but don't offer enough obstacles to limit shot selection on most holes. A simple hyzer or straight line is available on enough holes that you can score well with only average line shaping skills.

The alternate pin positions offer some nice variety, but without the current position marked on the signs it can mean some extra work to figure out where to throw and how long the hole currently is. There are a couple long walks between holes, and it can be a little tricky to find a couple tees. There are some potential conflicts in a couple places with other park users.

Other Thoughts:

This is a pleasant course in a nice park. Beginners will find some nice challenges without too much punishment for inaccurate shots. There is some length, but nothing excessive that would frustrate new players. More experienced players will find some nice shots, but too many that feel similar and not enough different types of challenges to really be a good test.

Pros:

This is a great course. Holes are long with lots of trees and obstacles. Very well mapped out, flows fairly well. Good utilization of the land and the park, by the DG gods that created this course.

Cons:

Don't really have anything bad to say about the course.
