Played the course:once
Pros:
The holes were fun to play, and this course has some good potential.
Cons:
The first 9 holes were very hard to locate without a map. Once you get to the back nine, the holes seemed to flow better. I suggest having a map. Hole number eight was the hardest hole for us to find, it was located behind the big sledding hill. No tee pads, only lil orange flags on the first 9 holes to mark the tee spot. Once you find the tee spot there are orange planks of wood in the ground that have the hole # and how many feet.
Other Thoughts:
This course could really benefit from having some more visible pad markers, and maybe some signs. We did run into a gentleman that was doing construction near hole# 5, he actually played 3 holes with us, it was his first time ever playing disc golf. After looking all over for the next tee, the gentleman did say he was going to volunteer and make marker posts for each tee. All in all its a fun course, just hard to navigate without a map and/or better tee markers. Once a lil more work is done and the holes are marked better, this course could very easily have a rating of very good to excellent.

Pros:
-The course is in a nice city park, and is a good place to have a disc golf course for the people in the area. For the most part this is your typical city course, but it does have a couple things that stand out about it. Hole #8 is a 175 ft. ace run with a river right behind it, Hole #9 is a 485 ft. bomber off a sledding hill also with the river next to the basket.
Cons:
-This is still a new course and has its flaws. There are no tee pads, just orange flags. Even with the map you can get confused in many places too.
-Alot of the tee to pin placements seem boring and could probably be better (But hopefully that will change).
-I would also really like to see the river be utilized more than it is now.

Other Thoughts:
-When I played here, I met one of the guys who designed the course. He said that the tee placements arn't final and might be moved.
-This course is a fun play and has really good potential, but if your traveling from out of the area I would say give it another year before you go out of your way to play here.
