Great Park, needs some work 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Dec 23, 2018
Played the course:once
Pros:
- The park is outstanding. Beautiful city park, grass was cut, a nice creek cut throw the middle of the park. It was a perfect park for a course.
- The course layout was alright. There were several holes that were very good. #7 is a great hole, baits you into trying to throw to the mouth of a gap in the tree line on the right, but once you throw and walk up to it, it becomes very clear, there is no way to really get through the gap, the only way to access the hole, if you're on the right side, is go over the trees. There are several other holes that force you to throw a high quality shot.
- Baskets were all in great shape, not championship level baskets, but as good as one could expect at a city park. The teepads were natural, which isn't a pro, but none of the spots were muddy or on a severe slope. There was some really muddy spots around the park, but the tees and baskets were all clear of them.

Cons:
- The layout had too many overlaps, a few times I had to study the UDisc map for a few mins to be sure I was throwing at the right basket. There really isn't any way to know which basket to throw to other than the UDisc map, and the signs showing the distance and finding a basket that's roughly that distance away.
- Like I said in pros, there are some really good holes, but.......it's for the most part a hyzerfest. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, & 17. Hyzers.
- I dont know what to make of the tee signs. They are that white plastic sign that normally has a basic drawing of the hole, but these didn't have any drawing. Just the hole#, par, and distance. Really made throwing to the right basket and navigate between holes difficult. Baskets could use number plates, and some indicator to point to the next tee. Really, needs just something other than the UDisc map to help navigate, bc you can't assume everyone will use that.
- #3 and #17 tee signs were missing, I just threw from where the UDisc map showed the tee to be, unfortunate since those were 2 of the nicer holes, didn't like having to throw them, not knowing I was in the right spot.
- Like I said, some of the better natural tee areas, but always prefer concrete or some tee that creates a level, dry area to throw. Plus there was nothing to mark where to throw other than the sign. Didn't say which side to throw from, needs something to mark the actual throwing spot.

Other Thoughts:
Other than the navigation issues, I really did enjoy my round. It was quiet, clean park, that really is great for disc golfing. Doubt I will ever play it again, since I was just traveling to Fort Smith, which has some great courses, but I wanted to stop and play a course I hadn't played before.
Definitely a course I would recommend to someone wanting to play a course somewhere along I-40 that they hadn't played before. And if the course was upgraded to resolve its issues, I would think it would be a great course.
