Other Thoughts:

Locally referred to as "The Pond", I was fortunate to play this course as the 2nd round of a recent C-Tier tournament. Non-disc golf park activities were at a bare minimum during the round so most of the issues noted above in the cons section were not a factor. That being said, I can definitely see where play at this course when the park is busy could be difficult.

The layout has been expanded to a fun filled full 18-hole course with concrete tees and new signs. Much of the park space is utilized, and the locals did a great job incorporating the best available land for a solid course. Elevation only factors into a few holes, and much of the course takes advantage of mature trees, and park structures for line shaping. Paved roads and other surfaces create out of bounds limits on numerous holes, and a few others play near and over a small pond in the middle of the park.

The biggest glaring issue with this course is the close proximity to park roads, other park activities, and a couple sections where two holes share a little bit too much space with one another. This is to be expected with the layout of the park and spaces available, and would only be of major concern when the park is bustling with activities.

Most of the holes are very fun to throw, and there are ample birdie opportunities coupled with some fairly long par threes. Difficulty is modest, so advanced players can score very well while almost any skill level can play with enjoyment. All in all it's a good course, and maintained by a great group of people!
