Played on:Nov 2, 2008
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
This course was recently redone. They have brand new Innova DISCatcher Pro baskets. It is a great practice course with some elevation changes on a sled hill.
Cons:
Many of the holes 5-8 go back and forth over a small valley (water spillway) and they are almost the same shot.
Other Thoughts:
If you live around the area and are looking for a course that is not too crowded with room to practice or are a beginner I highly recomend this course. It is nearly impossible to loose a disc on this course and there is plenty of room to practice distance drives in the soccer field or the open field in back which also has a baseball field that is rarely used.

Pros:
Nice baskets and signs.
Great use of the sled hill and elevation for holes 1, 2, and (10)
Better use of park space, though course is packed into a tight area.

Cons:
Tee pads are dirt and rutted. Have to watch your footing on tee offs.
Can have groups of friends chucking at times which makes waiting to play a short course less fun.
Not big enough to have a legitimate 9 hole course. The only holes worth playing are 1, 2, 9, and making up 10 from the top of the hill to basket 9.
Very short holes 3-8 play across a small ditch with very easy holes and lines to hit for deuces.

Other Thoughts:
It is a good course for the elevation holes, but after a round or two it will get way too easy. I come here every so often to play as I am less than 5 miles away from it. It is good practice but nothing worth driving far for.

Played the course:never
Pros:
Easy course, good for beginners.
Cons:
Not well kept. Baskets are very rusty and some are on an angle.
Other Thoughts:
Even though it is not a great overall course, it is good to practice your approach shots since all but one hole is under 200 ft. Longest: 310 ft
