Could be a diamond in the rough, instead it's just rough 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 31, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Miramar Park is on a pretty piece of land, and the course runs through some trails, a field, and... canal? on the back of the property.

Distances are all pretty good. It starts off with a couple short holes, but kind of stretches out after that.

The park staff is very friendly, and supportive of the disc golf community.

Cons:

So much of this round was disappointing. At the time of this review, the pictures (from 2009) are so outdated they are misleading. Some of the fairways are barely more than the gravel path through the woods, and some of those don't make great fairways.

Navigation was a little hard. Mainly because i couldn't find one of the baskets. I just played the holes I could find, and they were ok.

Holes whichever-go-by-the-canal are a little overgrown, especially the one that goes away from the road.

Tee pads were gravel with boards at the front. They could be a little slippery, and small.

Other Thoughts:

Overall this course barely scraped a 2 in my book, and that's mainly because it wasn't so terrible. I could understand that this course was probably a beauty in its prime. Right now it's just like a course someone kind of forgot about.

There's a nice field with trees I passed on my way in, and was excited to play in that area, but the course never ventured to that area. It would be a great space for an expansion, or redesign

What a horrible course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 28, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

It has decent baskets
a few of the holes are interesting if there are no other park users

Cons:

what a dangerous course for the first 4 holes. You are just asking for a lawsuit.
then you have boring open shots with a little challenge to them to not loose your disc.
could not find anything marking hole 6 tee box.

Other Thoughts:

What a miserable round, seriously, I got majorly stuck in a brier patch, then got eaten alive by mosquitoes. Lost one disc and almost lost another.
Hole 1, you can't see the basket, but this is just a big hyzer shot. At least you can see if anyone is coming down the trail.
Hole 2, long hole that you can't see the basket, nor can you see if anyone is coming down the path. For me, I freaking turned over my disc and threw it into the backyard. I got lucky, it was 2 foot from the fence and I was able to use a stick to get it back. (there is some space under the fence)
Hole 3, again, another hyzer shot, however if you are long, you can't see if anyone is walking down the path.

Hole 4, now this one is really bad in so many ways. You have to throw a perfect shot that turns over without hyzering out too much. Might be a good hole if it were not for the walking path, again, you can't see if anyone is on it. Now if you are like me and don't throw a good shot, I was trying to lay up and threw it straight into the worst briers I have ever climbed into. I blame Jeff Ash, if that were not a brainwave disc, i would have just left it. DO NOT LAND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PATH.

Hole 5 is a nice little ace run, just don't overthrow it to the right, I guess the tide was in, there was water/marsh behind the basket.

I could not find anything marking a tee for hole 6, so I threw from next to the bench were a bald spot was. I guess that was the tee.

Hole 7, dang it, I threw a DX rock and it did not hold the line, fell off to the left into the water next to the bridge. Water was too deep and dirty to find and i was not about to get in to find a cheap disc. Something else I noticed, it looked like this hole is surrounded by water sometimes. The ground looked like a marsh.

Hole 8 was the exact same shot, almost even the same distance. I was so worried about loosing another roc, I threw it into the rough on the right :p

Hole 9, boring

I was also eaten alive by mosquitoes. Bring bug spray.

Would I play here again? NO, you could not pay me to play this course again. I have better things to do like watching grass grow or the bumper rusting.
