Pros:

This course actually has some very fun shots, including a lot of low ceiling lines, and good mix of righty lefty holes. For being only 9 holes there's a decent amount of length here starting off with a 450 foot slightly downhill hole 1. I think there's only 2 holes under 300 so good chance to play a quick round but also test your game off the tee box. The Mach x baskets our in great shape and catch well. There's tons pokes for tee signs saying hole number and all but 2 have distances wrote on them. Baskets our numbered well and layout isn't to bad. Plenty of parking and great addition to Salem area

Cons:

Can get pretty windy here and even though there's some trees wind can be a factor. A lot of the holes tee off from the road or concrete pathways which isn't to bad but not the most ideal. Sometimes you see multiple baskets from tee box and not sure which pin is what map is helpful but if not walk up and look at basket number don't be lazy.

Other Thoughts:

When playing concrete as ob the course is fun it can challenge you but isn't overly difficult fun 9 hole course

Pleasently surprised 2+ years

Pros:

Nice layout and use of the space.
Well maintained.
They have painted lines on the walk paths to throw from.
Large poles with numbered red tops makes it very easy to locate next tee. They also have distance marked on each pole. Sounds like before the baskets were installed the poles were used as the 'baskets'. I guess one can still use them if preferred.
Even though we didn't have a map, it was still easy enough to get around and each basket has the hole number on it.

Cons:

Must be on lookout for incoming discs from other players as fairways are close together in a few spots.
Only 9 holes, but I guess to some that might be a pro.
Not much else to complain about.

Other Thoughts:

We really enjoyed this course. Not too easy and not too challenging. We will be back to play again!

Fun short course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 6, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Mellow layout, easy distances, a great short break course to play! Doesn't seem to be used almost ever so it's pretty much wide open it would seem.

Cons:

No baskets, just tone poles (IE: Hit it and it makes noise). Makes it a bit more challenging in some regards, easier in other.

Never found the first tee, and missed another that I forget the number of. All tees are just lines drawn in the ground. Some of the holes seemed to be a bit close, so if this ever got busy the layout would put some players in a throws way.

Other Thoughts:

With a bit more disbersement, some baskets, and some better tee indicators, this could be an excellent and fun lunchtime course for some people to play on break! Right now though, it just doesn't seem to catch anyones attention as it was empty on a nice Saturday afternoon.
