Played the course:once
Pros:
It is a short, well put together course, that doesn't seem crowded. There is an overview map on a bulletin board by the first hole, so you go in knowing approximately where you are going. Beginner friendly, and I think even enjoyable for some of the more seasoned players.
Cons:
Dirt tees, can't think of anything else.
Other Thoughts:
It isn't the greatest course, but like I said great for a quick nine. there are better longer courses in the area, but if pressed for time at all, this is a good choice.

Pros:
I'm very new to Disc Golf but I feel like this course is very good for beginners. It has some open holes and some holes where you need to figure out how to get it around some trees. Its not terribly difficult but it can be tricky at times.
Cons:
Probably not very difficult for a seasoned player.
Other Thoughts:
There are two sets of tees but don't get confused and think they are supposed to be pro/am tees. They're not. The reason for two sets of tees at this course is to play thru twice for a full 18 holes.

Pros:
Murray Park is a good park given the property. The course offers two sets of tees, Red and Blue. Trees are used well making some tee offs and approaches challenging. Some holes, particularly hole 9 use elevation well. The course is well marked with signs at the tee of each hole and a large map near the first tee. The park is easy to find from the highway. This course is better for beginners than the other park in Ripon, Riggs Park.
Cons:
The tee boxes are inconsistent in terms of distances. Most of the blue tees are the longer tees but not always. The tee boxes are grass but use has worn them to dirt which can be muddy after a rain storm. The course flows through a park which often hosts banquets, picnics, and baseball tournaments on weekends. This can be tedious, sometimes impossible, to play on some of the holes near the playground equipment or the ball diamonds. The course flows like a figure 8 and it is possible to get mixed up between holes if you haven't played the course before or haven't read the map.
Other Thoughts:
This course is fun to play if there isn't anything else happening in the park. The parking lot is near the 6th hole but the 1st tee is by the pavilion at the top of the hill. Rearranging the tees, namely making one set always the longest, would be the best improvement to this course
