Pros:
-This course has holes in a variety of lengths. There are short placement holes and longer bomber holes. There is even the opportunity to empty your bag on a couple holes.
-The baskets are in good shape.
-The park itself is well maintained.
-The park has lots to offer beyond just the course. Makes for a fun family day.
-There is the opportunity to use most basic throws on this course including hyzer, anhyzer, and forehand throws.
-As a recreational course, it provides some challenge.
-Some of the holes are particularly fun. Hole 2 involves a blind throw into some guardian trees. Hokes 5-8 are probably the best on the course. Hole 5 is a RHFH skip shot into a protected basket. Hole 6 is the first real bomber hole on the course. Hole 7 has a really fun basket location behind a wall of pines. Hole 8 runs along the river and features an elevated tee. Hole 8 is probably the signature hole for the course. I really enjoyed crushing a disc out over the river and watching it fade back into the fairway.
-Some of the basket locations make good use of the available land. Holes 4 and 5, for example, both dogleg right and are set back into the woods.
Cons:
-No course map or tee signs. I got a bit confused while attempting to navigate the course.
-Hole lengths seem incorrect on DGCR to me. I don't know where they came from, but hole 1 is less than 125 ft. Other holes seem to be shorter than recorded on here.
-Some of the baskets are in questionable locations. Hole 1, for example, goes over the parking lot and is unplayable with cars parked there, especially for rec players. Hole 3 plays around the gazebo and is dangerous if people are using it. Hole 9 plays by the baseball field and a poorly thrown disc could go over the fence and onto the field.
-No permenant teepads. There are posts indicating where to throw from, but they do not provide the same footing that teepads do.
- Not much challenge here for the advanced or intermediate player. A score of -5 or -6 should be easily obtainable, even on a first play.
Other Thoughts:
With some teepads, proper signage, and a small redesign (please move the first basket up the hill to the left and the third basket out from behind the gazebo), this could be a 3.5 or 4 rated 9 hole course. Some holes are potentially dangerous (holes 1 and 3) and should get mandos or a redesign. Other than these small issues, the course is pretty average but certainly worth the time to play at least once. If I lived nearby, I would play it several times a week.
