This course winds around and through the majority of Natural Falls State Park. It's roughly two different loops: the portion of the course that loops through the well-maintained city park-esque portion of the State Park and the portion that goes walkabout through the less tame areas of the State Park. It makes good use of the available terrain and utilizes the elevation very well throughout the course. Short holes are sneaky long due elevation changes and the signature downhill tunnel is a fun shot. Difficulty varies as well, with plenty of pretty easy birdy opportunities and a couple of holes that will require a line and execution to get par.

The city park portion is very well-maintained and the holes flow well for the first seven. Then, if you take the 'shorter walk' version of the course listed on UDisc (to avoid the original long walk from #9 to #10), you transition to #10, which is your first hole in the less tame area of the park. I'm going to use the original numbering because, despite another review stating the signs had been changed, I don't recall that being the case. I know we parked near the original #9's tee (now #18 in the 'shorter walk' layout) and it definitely still read #9. Anyway, going from #7 (open and short with confusing proximity to the original #18 pin) to #10 (a residential hallway width tunnel through the woods, uphill) was a little jarring. The remainder of the back-of-house areas is "somewhat open" to "wide open" shots except for original #12, which was another narrow tunnel. Most of those holes have well-defined fairways mowed through the tall grass but experienced DG'ers will have no issues spotting discs and playing from this rough. The original #18 (now #16) is a fun downhill shot that crosses a small, shallow creek back onto the city park area. It was a typical Re-Tire basket though, not a hanging basket. You then play the original #8 and #9 as #17 and #18 to finish the round.

The tee boxes were natural and only the front was well defined, but they didn't provide any issues. The Re-Tire baskets caught fine. We only saw one other disc golfer during our time on the course.

This being a State Park, there are dedicated amenities such as restrooms, some port-a-johns scattered in the main area, two playgrounds, plenty of picnic areas, trash cans, a pavilion, as well as the park's signature gardens, hiking trails, and scenic waterfall.

It lacks a little in the variety department as there are no real water hazards to speak of, the holes in the main park are pretty forgiving and open, and there are some missed opportunities since it's integrated into the State Park. Length isn't really a factor either because most of the longer holes are also the most open. The tight tunnel holes are two of the shortest.

As discussed above, the signage didn't reflect the revised two-loops-integrated-into-one layout mentioned elsewhere. Many of the signs had higher pars than would be expected for the hole distance and difficulty. We didn't have any real issues with the tees or the Re-Tire baskets other than the original #18's tee box is a little precarious and small and a few of the basket bottoms held water. The original #10-#18 portion of the course is in rougher woods and high grass areas. We counted double-digit quantities of ticks when we emerged. I also spotted some potential poison ivy in a couple of places when retrieving a disc off of the wooded hole fairways. There are no garbage cans in the course itself unless you want to count the base of the Re-Tire baskets that appear to be used for trash disposal by hikers.

Walking trails or hiking trailheads are in play on every hole in the main park area. Several have picnic tables or part-a-johns in play as well (#6, 7, 8, 9). #2 was somewhat close to the volleyball court and a primitive campsite. One of the original back nine holes (#14) throws near the yurt campground. #15 throws from within the yurt area across the service road. Another (#11) has its pin located at the nexus of a couple of trails. Hikers have practically abandoned the trail that runs parallel to #12 and instead have taken to utilize #12's fairway as the trail. As mentioned above, the pin for #18 is back in the park area and again is close to picnic tables and a BBQ area. The crowded park forced people to park along #6's and #8's fairway on the day we attempted to play the course.

My family planned on driving the three hours to this park because my oldest son was interested in seeing the falls and doing some hiking. We figured we'd get a family round of DG while we were there. We had hoped that the social distancing restrictions and it being the weekend before Memorial Day Weekend would still allow for a fun round and a hike to see the falls. It was not. Despite other reviews saying that the course did a good job of avoiding the other public areas of the park, we found the exact opposite to be true. Maybe it was a result of the state 'opening up for business' in recent weeks, but the park was exceptionally crowded. Parking lots overflowed, people parked along and in DG fairways, people walking the trails would just walk the fairways of the course instead of finding the actual trails, etc. Most of the round was marred by too many people in too many places you would like to throw a disc. Add in the fact that almost nobody was following social distancing guidelines and it made for an anxiety-filled round where you spent a lot of time waiting for people to move along or asking people to leave your disc where it lay, or waiting for families to move away from tees before starting the hole.

I don't know if that's just a perfect storm of this one weekend having a high park attendance or if the popularity of the park has increased to the point that this is a common occurrence. Regardless, people and property damage hazards existed throughout the majority of our 17-hole round. We skipped one short hole (#7) entirely because of the 4 occupied picnic tables and a single trailhead that were all along the fairway. In our nearly 3 ½ hours in the park, it was not playable without risking hitting people. Two other holes required us to make up a tee as the designated box was occupied or in such proximity to picnickers that we didn't feel comfortable throwing. So, setting aside the (hopefully) temporary coronavirus concerns, there still exists the very real issue of too many people in the way of throwing this course successfully and safely.
