~Throw along beautiful Lake Erie

~Nice mix of holes
~Repeatable play

~Natural tee areas are rutted and uneven
~Baskets are showing their age
~Some basic holes, remove the lake and there's no wow factor

Visited to play in the yearly Blizzard at Oz Ice Bowl to have fun and help feed the hungry. A blustery winter day with a frosting of snow on the ground and some big winds blowing in from the lake. It's a quaint 9-holer with spectacular views of Lake Erie.

Nice park with a good parking lot, bathroom, and other amenities right near the course. A couple wooded holes, a couple along the lake's edge, and the rest play through mostly open field. Nothing to write home about, but it has it's own charm. You could easily roll up, throw multiple rounds, and have a good time.

The course is pretty basic, natural tee areas with wooden toe boards, signs and baskets are showing their age, but still function just fine. It's not a course that needs all the upgrades and I'm good with how it is. Worth a stop if you are in the area primarily because of playing right along Lake Erie.

Good group of golfers up here too, they know how to have fun!

-lakefront holes with great views
-challenging for beginners because of the wind coming off the lake and the risk of going for a swim after a lost disc
-updated with new course

-8th hole was hard to find. the tee marker from 7 points you in the right direction, but you actually come upon the basket and _then_ have to walk past it to find the 8 tee. then you work backwards
-can be crowded with parkgoers and kids sports teams. manageable to avoid, and only on a few holes is it really even that dangerous

the photos of all of the holes on DGCR are out of date! it'd be nice if they could be updated (this is my first review so I am not quite sure if this is something I could do)

+ If you've a disc golf enthusiast that appreciates a good view, Osborne Park is the course to play! It's a short 9 holer but several holes play along the edge of Lake Erie. The views are incredible, but the course itself isn't too overwhelming.

+ Like I said, the course is right on the edge of Lake Erie. This provides some scary drives on holes 6-8.

+ A few holes make an effort to play in the small wooded area and make for a technical alternative to other holes on the course.

+ Great parking lot with other activities in the park.

- #9 ends about 1000' from the parking lot, and it's a pretty sucky filler hole to end the round. About 550' in a wide open field with no obstacles. It's a long walk from 8 to 9, just to throw 500' if open field, and walk another 1000' back to the car.

- There's a couple lackluster holes like #9, with the basket being approachable with an approach disc off of the tee.

- So you can't really take a beginner here because of how close the lake is to a few holes. But it's kind of a boring place for advanced players to play as well. No challenge on any hole besides the lakeside ones. Not really a target audience.

- The ammentities are pretty rough. The tee signs are either old and rusting or completely missing. Tees are just dirt, and the baskets are pretty beat up.

- Like I said, the lakeside holes are pretty sweet for a first time visitor. But locals who are used to seeing the lake might not see any replay value in the short 9 holes.

I was balancing back and forth between a 1.5 and a 2.0, so I'll give Osborne the benefit there. Most of the course is pretty short and easy, but the lakeside 6-8 give you a beautiful view of the lake, while providing some dangerous drives and tough approach shots.

For me, it's worth playing if you're around for the views alone. But once is enough, and after the "wow" factor of the scenery wears off, you're left with a course that's slightly below average.

It looks like the course might have been re-numbered recently, because the map I had was similar except for hole numbers.

Osborne Park is on the shores of Lake Erie. Like, right on Lake Erie. The pins for #5-#8 have epic views with Lake Erie right there. As a tourist who doesn't see a Great Lake very often, it was a really, really cool site for a course. The park was well maintained, the tee signs were functional old-school DGA signs and the navigation was pretty easy to follow after I found hole one. The shots have pretty good variety (five open, four with some trees.) It was a fun recreational course.

The golf was OK. Hole #1 was wide open and really short. Holes #2-#5 had some woods that need to be negotiated. #2 was a nice tunnel shot and #4 was a fun little hole where you needed and little touch turnover shot to convert. Holes #6-#7-#8 are really cool because you are shooting right down the shore, but they are fairly similar shots with the pins just moving closer to the shore. #9 is a 500'+ flat open filler shot that kinda-sorta get you back toward the parking lot. None of them were great shots, but it fun.

The tees were natural and the leading edge were logs, which just dares you to trip.

There were a lot of people walking across the fairway for #7 & #8 down to the Lake while I was there. They either didn't know they were in the middle of a disc golf hole or didn't care.

Once I was in the parking lot, finding hole one was not all that obvious. Once you finish, you are a long walk from the parking lot. It seems that the course was already redesigned to improve those issues (the kiosk is by hole #4, so I assume that used to be hole #1) and the park had features up by the parking lot that made the design the best you could do with what you have to work with.

Near the tee for #9 somebody built a beer garden in thier back yard. It had frolf stickers on the widows of the shed, so it was a golfer. Somebody is living right off a disc golf course with epic Lake Erie views with a beer garden right by the finishing hole. Livin' the dream, man...

As for the rating, I have to rate this park lower becasue while the golf was fun, it wasn't great. I didn't really care about that, the course had a great atmosphere and I really enjoyed it. If you play golf for the fun of it and like a unique feature like a Great Lake off your left shoulder, this is a course you really should visit if you are in the area. If you play golf for the competition and want a course that challenges you, this isn't going to be your golf course.

if you need a quick 9 holes to play in a short amount of time then this is the course for you. perfect setup for a quick round during a lunch break. nice view of the lake.

only 9 holes. long walk from the parking lot to the actual course itself

was fun to play
