Maintenance and Signage 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 16, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Decent tee signs
- Concrete Tees for every hole
- Baskets seem to be in decent shape
- Most of the area was well kept and mowed
- Minimal blinds
- Begin/end at same location

Cons:

First time players should expect the following:
- No overall map
- Pay station is cash only and makes limited change (seriously, cash only?!?!)
- Unclear starting point (first time)
- Unclear Tee signs/maps
- Little to no visibility to most baskets
- Visible baskets have unclear markers at range
- No flags or wind indicators
- No consistent indication of next tee
- Some fairway/basket overlap
- Unaware non-golfing bystanders
- Possibly aggressive geese
- Massive, unclear gap between front and back 9
- Unclear/disconnected first tee from second tee area (closer to pin 18 for some reason)
- Dangerous proximity to major road on back 9 (pin locations)
- Unclear pay station/entry fee (may not even have to pay sometimes)
- Short, narrow tees

Other Thoughts:

In general this course wasn't "bad" and I found the wind and proximity to the main road and water hazards challenging but also unnecessarily hazardous. Sings upon entry were non-existent for disc golf and nothing was posted on the main boards. There is a sign board near the #9 pin that has DG info on it but also no indication of where to go to play the back 9. I just happen to see Tee #10 when I was driving around trying to figure out where Tee #1 was. Basically wasting a bunch of time getting out of the car and checking out each visible tee until I found Tee #1 and then more time wasted figuring out that Tee #2 was across the road from Pin #1. It just didn't need to be so unclear. The designer should have kept the front and back 9 close to each other and, if separating them, kept the beginning and end of each 9 together (if possible). Though someone said the parking was close to #1 tee, I disagree. It wasn't far but not clearly close like most other, well thought out courses. The Course layout could use improvement and a link between the front and back 9. It would be great to utilize the park space between the two with more holes or a better layout in general. I recommend a refresh of the course design. I don't think most general players would be disappointed by playing this course. First timers might find the layout confusing. I find the cost (had I had to pay it when I played) to be very high for what you get if you're just going for the disc golf course. I probably won't return if I have to pay to play this course. Please add more holes and a layout refresh and it might be worth paying for.

stocton 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 21, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Big, well maintained park. It does have baskets, so i guess thats a plus in stocton. does have t-pads, i guess. Easy to park near hole 1

Cons:

t-pads, are weird, only aquatic park have i seen anything simular to some. Local non-discgolfers, do not seem to care that this is also a discgolf park. They picnic in front of the baskets, on fairways, and sometimes on the teepads. The local people who fish the lake, sometimes use baskets as BBQ grills.

Other Thoughts:

$5 parking fee, to have people picnic in the fairways, not worth it. have been there 4 times, and everytime, multiple non-discgolfers camped on holes, twice had local fishermen using baskets near lake for BBQ, coals on aluminum foil, and fish on wires hanging from chains. Course I have refused to return to
