Excellent Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 5, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Great mix of technical, short holes, and long open holes, with some hills, drop offs, and even an elevated basket to add flavor
-Blue and white teepads change the course drastically, adding to replay-ability
-Multiple basket positions as well as secondary teepads for even more diversity on a single course
-Course is very well maintained by the city and the local club
-Baskets are all top quality, including a marksman practice basket
-Nasty creek on hole 6 has a small barrier to prevent short rolls or slides from falling in - very handy.
-Very few thick areas to lose a disc
-New signs at each teepad showing routes and distances

Cons:

3-4 teepads are made up of square paving stones and are no longer level - minor tripping hazard
-Hole 6 blue is a narrow window over one of the deepest parts of the nasty creek
-Hole 6 blue requires crossing a somewhat rickety bridge over the nasty creek
-Trailer park dwellers not always friendly to disc golfers - sometimes known to swipe discs that hit their trailers
-After rain the course can be pretty muddy and several places retain water

Other Thoughts:

This course has come a long way since the last review was posted. The local club has put a lot of time and love into this park and it shows. The only improvements that I would suggest are better teepads on holes 9, 11, and 13.

The city has cut down a lot of trees and is now grinding down the stumps to clean up the fairways even more. They have also taken out several hornets nests that popped up during the summer.

Overall this is one of the nicest kept, best designed, and overall fun courses I have found. I will always enjoy playing here.
