Baskets in a Field 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

6 decent baskets that catch well.

Place to stop and stretch on a road trip.

New players could accentuate their field practice by putting into decent baskets after they practice their shot shapes in the open.

Other park amenities available for use by travel companions.

Safari golf opportunities, if you have the place to yourself.

Cons:

No marked tees of any kind, not even bald spots in the grass.

Hole 6 ends far from where hole 1 tees off.

Danger everywhere, if the other park amenities are in use. One basket is about 15 feet from a picnic table. Hole 4 (I think) seems to be designed to throw through a gap in the trees (the only trees in play on the course) and directly over a picnic table. The basket for hole 6 has a portion of a sand volleyball court within the 10-meter circle. Another picnic bench is in or very close to the RHBH hyzer line to hole 5. Hole's 6's RHBH hyzer line goes over the road.

Other Thoughts:

This is a rather large park and only one small area seems to have been opened to disc golf use. It is also the portion of the park with the majority of other recreational equipment. There seems to be a lot of room to spread out some interesting holes, if more of the park were used for the course.

This town is conveniently-located for a stop on a long road trip and the park is easy to find. The kids can play and a disc golfer can stretch and throw. Other than that, it is to be skipped.
