Pros:

Meadowridge DGC, or Meadow Ridge DGC like it should be spelled, is a small nine hole course that doesn't run into any other park activities. You may encounter some walkers but that'll be it.

The tee signs are decent. Basic hole map, hole #, par and distance. Better than lots of other signs I've seen before but nothing amazing. It's all you need here though.

The course was quiet and clean. Appears to be well tended to as well. You'll probably have the place to yourself I'd guess. It'd be a decent place to do some field work or test new discs out. The course is permanent and free to play.

The baskets here are newish looking Mach III's. These are all in great shape and caught nicely. They seemed to be mounted level too. One basket and one pin position per hole.

The tee pads are rubber mats. I don't recall seeing this type before or else it's been awhile since I have. They're plenty big enough for a nine like this. One tee per hole.

The course has enough trees to at least keep things somewhat interesting. It's completely flat and apparently doesn't drain too well. It was bone dry out on our visit so I can't comment on that but I could see it. I can comment on the flatness though, It's flat as can be.

The flow of the course is pretty easy to figure out and to follow. Hole 1 starts by the small parking lot and plays kind of counterclockwise for the first six holes. The last three holes are across the treeline to the east. Hole 6's basket is right by the sidewalk leading over to those holes.


Cons:

The tee pads aren't very good. They worked ok the day we played but like I said, it was extremely dry around this whole area. These things seem like they're going to be super slick with any kind of moisture. Besides that they're started to break apart on the corners and edges. And they're lumpy in spots. Just not ideal.

As others have mentioned it doesn't drain well. So probably not the place you'd want to play after it rains or during the spring.

Not really any shot shaping to speak of out here. You just need to miss a tree or two or most holes. Gets pretty repetitive feeling pretty fast.


Other Thoughts:

This course is worth a visit if you're passing through or happen to be near it. It would serve as a decent place to loosen up the arm before Konarcik too. Other than that skip this one. Much better options only a short distance away.
