Poorly designed, poorly maintained 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It has 18 holes, a few fun shots, and good quality baskets.

Cons:

The course was designed by a ball golfer, not a disc golfer. The OB grass is never mowed, which makes for too much wasted time looking for frisbees... And that's if you even can find them. Blind tee shots which finish in the center of high grass fields are a nightmare. This course seriously needs a major overhaul. However, with wider fairways, planting some trees, or even just better maintained grass height would really improve this problem.

The one through five holes are on a completely separate section of the park as the six through 18. It's difficult to navigate if you haven't played it before, and there is no flow to it. I only play holes 6-18 and only with discs I can find with my UV light at night. I won't even look for my lost discs anymore in the High Grass while playing, because it's a needle in a haystack and you could seriously spend 45 minutes looking for a disc in a 20 square foot area. I only play the course because it is basically in my backyard, and flat enough to push the stroller with my kids in it while I throw. At this point, it is not worth traveling for or playing if you aren't already there.
