So much potential not being utilized
Reviewed:
Played on:Sep 11, 2022
Played the course:once
Pros:
This is a decent recreational course for the area players.
A couple directional signs showing the player of which direction to the next tee. As the player has to cross the park road to hole # 3.
Hole 7 is the courses best hole. It plays downhill and to the right, 321 feet. Some trouble can be found as I found it, but I wasn't using the small tee boxes and I slipped on my drive on wet grass on the downward sloped hill. Still a fun hole!
hole 3 was another cranker hole. Plays longer than 300 feet as it plays over a hillside. With the basket near the woods.

Cons:
Only 3 holes over 250 feet. and 4 holes under 200 feet.
So much potential at this park that isn't being utilized.
Tee pads we're very small, they had a wooden frame with medium gravel inset in the tee box. One had to either step over the tee box to tee off or just tee off within the small tee box or tee off in the grass near the tee box, which I did.
Generic tee signs (useful nevertheless) and the tee signs we're inside the small tee box, making it even more difficult to tee from.
Long drive from within the park to get to the very short course.
Hole 1 is a decent hole, it's very open, 247 feet, but I betcha some of the one-disc players game is delayed or ends on this hole if they overshoot the basket, and it goes into the thick woods.
The rough is very thick on holes 1,2,7, and 8. Keep it in the fairways and you'll be fine.
Lost and found box is a small milk crate.
smallish parking lot, even for the nearby observatory that's up the large hill by hole # 3, and # 7 and # 6's basket.

Other Thoughts:
So much potential at this park to make it a must play. Perhaps the park department doesn't want to mow a lot and gave the Disc Golf club just the land that they used. But given the space that I saw driving all the way to the course. A new design would be welcome, even for the rec players.
I lost one of my pink star lite sidewinders on Hole # 7. It was found the next day when someone was looking for their disc (which they said they didn't find). A kind person called my phone number listed on the disc. I told her to keep it, as it was a good disc for her.
The Directional arrows on Park signs was very helpful.
Park has a red colored covered bridge that one has to drive through to get the course.
