Great Improvements Have Been Made 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I really like the way they have changed this course over the years. When I first came to it, it was missing several holes and since then it has been redesigned rather well. The section through the woods in some of the most exciting DG in the area. I really appreciate how they used logs to mark the paths and used wood chips to make a nice playing surface. The concrete tees and signs make finding holes easy. Practice basket for warming up.

Cons:

Some of the course is open to a park and watching out for pedestrians can be a bummer. I imagine that bugs could be a real concern during certain parts of the year so plan accordingly.

Other Thoughts:

Great location for a day of disc golf. Love playing Vienna, Parmalee, Ottawa, and then Bowling Green in one day.

Great hideaway 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 25, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Very tight, refined course. Short, but makes great use of the space allotted. Only two or three holes are over three hundred yards. The first three and last four are in open park; the rest are in fairly heavy woods. Holes are very tight; great course to work on your accuracy. You can get 18 in under an hour. Everything is very well marked; tee signs are in the ground next to the concrete, and the fairways in the woods are lined with logs. Effort has clearly been put into maintaining this course. Kudos!

Cons:

Mosquitoes abound; bring A LOT of bug spray. Sometimes the narrowness of the course is a drag, especially when your disc is in the rough. No lost discs, though. Patience is the key to a good score on this course.

Other Thoughts:

Several holes are aceable, and almost every one can be birdied. Wasn't very crowded, even on Memorial Day. Great course to slip away to and play a few rounds. Say hello to the course mascot - a calico cat that follows you around as you play!

Short Game Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 16, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A nice wooded course with good hole variety. Good signs with distances. Nice practice for your technical game. Close to Vienna Park which has a great course as well.

Cons:

Vandals have been a problem in the past (probably due to the skate park near the course, no worries for safety). The course was recently reinstalled since some skater punks stole some baskets a while ago.

Other Thoughts:

A good course for the Toledo area. Heavily wooded but short so it will test your short to mid game and your accuracy. Good hole variety in terms of length and foliage. Easy to get low scores with a good technical game.

If you want a more challenging course, Vienna Park is a 5 minute drive away which makes for a nice day outing.

Thanks to the volunteers and if you see any punk kids, kick them to protect this wonderful course!

Tight with character 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 6, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to follow, good layout, the logs lining each wooded fairway is a great touch. Solid tee pads. A very enjoyable course, will test your short game and midrange accuracy. Good tee shots are essential to low scores.

Cons:

This course will produce some low scores, given the short length. It is still worth a visit. Good contrast to some of the other local courses such as Carter Park, which is long and open. Vandalism has been an issue.

Other Thoughts:

A group of volunteers spent many hours installing this course when they could have been doing a number of other things. Then some jerk came and defaced all of the tee pads with spray paint. If you see people commiting vandalism on this or any other course please report it. What a bunch of jerks.

Dont let this deter you from coming out, the area is 100% safe. Probably just some punk kids.

This is a great course and I thoroughly enjoy it. Great drives can be rewarded with a 2, bad drives can end in a 5 or a 6, given the tight technical nature of this course.

short and technical 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 12, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Easy to follow
very technical and heavily wood.
good course to practice your short game
and how to throw your putter off the tee .
A few open holes that let you air it out while still being technical
The rough is mostly cleared and it's easy to find your disc .
this course can be played quickly
A park and skatepark on site for the kids a big plus

Cons:

very easy without much challenge .
some of the holes in the woods that had a defined line has been cleared and now most shots can be shot with a backhand hyzer it wasn't like this a few years ago you had a line to hit and it was tight not anymore
bugs in the summer bring spray or they will eat you alive .


Other Thoughts:

I really like parmelee and play it whenever i'm in the area
