The course in Oak Grove Park was established in 1979 making it one of the older courses in the state. It's typical of courses built in that era with its old school fiberglass signs, shorter distances and mostly straight or hyser throws. But in spite of its limitations and simplicity, Oak Grove remains popular and continues to gather positive reviews and better than average ratings. Why? Because, it's just a fun, easy throw. Oak Grove is a perfect little course for the causal recreational players. You can enjoy a round here and your biggest worry will be, did you shoot -2 or -4? You needn't worry about hunting or losing your disc in thick underbrush or throwing it in a lake, swamp or creek. You can show up in any footwear. The park's canopy of oaks keeps you dry on wet days and cool in warmer times.

The equipment is tired and old but perfectly adequate for the players here. The older Mach I's are fine with their big yellow numbers. The concrete tee pads likewise. The signs that are present are serviceable. At the start is a small kiosk with a laminated version of the course map. Navigation is nine-hole park course easy.

The course has its issues but they are like Robert Redford's face, they're not ugly, they show character. The older baskets might not catch as well as they once did. Some signs are worn or missing. # 7 faces 2:00 and the basket is straight ahead at 12:00. The # 9 pad faces 12:00 and the basket is over about 9:30. The sign here also faces backwards. These are all minor problems and barely distract from the course's overall enjoyment factor.

I hear the course gets crowded with players or club events. I somewhat hate to list a course's popularity as a con. There were three other groups on the course and I did have to wait while they teed off on # 4.

Oak Park is a fun round.

Typical City Park course with not a lot of length, solid concrete tee pads, mature trees, adaquate signage, and easy to navigate.
All the concrete pads were numbered.... so the fact that the #3 sign was missing was not a problem.
Pads were good sized.
Course was definitely fun to play... couple of ace run possiblities and definite birdies to be had.
Lot of trees, but plenty of openings.

Reconfiguration has some fairways crossing... specifically 5 and 6.
Course crams the holes into the limited space... possibility of hitting others is there.
Older baskets.... I didn't have issue, but I can see where other reviewers found them challenging for longer throws.
Tee for 9 faces straight down the line, while the basket is at about 10 o'clock in relation to the tee.

If you've read any of my other 50+ reviews, it's all about the fun factor that determines my ratings.
My 13 y/o daughter and I played while on break from her volleyball tourney, which is why we were in town...
We both loved it!! Nice walk.... managable throws.. easy to navigate.
Upgrade the sgnage and baskets and this moves to over a 3 easily!!

Good concrete tees.
Always short grass and maintained grounds.
Good course for putting and midrange work.
Can be played in thirty minutes if needed.

Older baskets reject longer shots.
Crowded.
Trash litters fairways.
Drives can go into private property if not careful with the hyzer.

Good course to play if you're in a hurry or just want to shoot a quick round. I'd like to see some updated baskets (I know DGM in SGF is working on that), but they like the original for character.

A cute old coarse ( 1979) in a nice neighborhood concrete pads ( although some dont point the right direction)

signage and tee pads could be updated, a little crowded , surrounded by houses

I like this coarse, it has history, people have been tossing plastic here since " steady Ed" laid this thing out 35 years ago.. Its short, you can play nine holes in 40 minutes,Its easy to go under par, you dont need drivers, its a good place to practice up on approach and putting...not the most challenging but a pretty good time ..

Good location, no shrubbery or tall grass.
easy to navigate. Nice tees

Tees aren't always lined up with pins
too easy to play
lots of people
ugly signs, if you can read em at all

This is a good course if you live nearby... not worth a drive to play it again, though.

Ability to play very quickly. Great course to practice your mid range and putter shots off the tee box. Great course to learn on.

Big groups that slow down the play. Some holes are close to tee boxes so you need to wait sometimes to throw. 2 holes criscross so if there are people playing one of the holes you will need to wait.

I live very close to Oak Grove and rarely play this course due to the crowds. Sometime you will get lucky and be the only person out there. Mornings are a great time to play the course. There are back tees for each hole if you want to play 18. I like to play jungle golf a lot at this course to make it more interesting.

- Moderate amount of trees.
- Lots of shade.
- Concrete pads

- No distance
- Feels a little squeezed in but not too bad
- Only 9 holes
- Course signs are in bad shape

A fun, popular course with lots of shade.

Well marked course with easy layout. Decent tee markers and the baskets also have numbers. This course is nestled between houses in a small park. The course layout is good enough that you don't really have to worry about throwing your disc into a backyard. Great for beginners and kids.

Multi use park. Usually very busy. Bathrooms are Johnny on the spots. Very heavy leaf cover on the ground in the fall.

This is a great beginner course for me and my 10 year old son. Experience players probably would not enjoy this course unless they want to increase their chance for an ace.

Decent woods protection on the right side of almost every hole makes for nice sidearm practice.

Too short. Too many leaves come fall. People walk their dogs here, and don't really care much about disc golfers for some reason.

Got my only ace ever here. Also lost that ace disc later in the round to a dog... Ripped to shreds.
