A stroll in the park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 25, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Good course for beginners, as it will not be too intimidating, there aren't a lot of places to lose a disc, and it's only 9 holes
- Nice big concrete tee pads
- Baskets are in good shape
- Grass was all cut short when I was there
- Playground, pond, and skate park onsite to keep the kids happy
- Some big beautiful trees around the course
- One water hazard comes into play on hole 1
- There's a map of the course on a sign near hole 1
- Map's on each holes tee sign, even though they aren't necessary

Cons:

- Distance on signs seems to be high on most holes
- Flat, no elevation change, but this is NE it's kind of to be expected
- Every hole is straight ahead, no shots requiring any line shaping
- Some signs were missing their hole #, but it's not necessary to follow the course flow
- Not an exciting course for anyone who is an experienced disc golfer
- No real memorable holes on the course
- Picnic tables thrown into the water hazard next to hole 1

Other Thoughts:

This is your basic short easy beginner's course, great for taking kids or first timers out to when you want to get them into disc golf without having them be overwhelmed. The course has trees on every hole, but never enough that it would make you have to think too much about your shot. Just throw it straight and you will have no problem. There is a water hazard on the right hand side of hole 1, but you would have to throw a short hard turnover to end up in there (throwing RHBH). There are other activities around the park for people who don't want to disc golf. There is a playground, volleyball court, a pond, even a skate park, though the skate park looked pretty lame, so I wouldn't recommend coming here just for that. The course itself is not very memorable. It's your basic park course, and one that is not exciting in any way. There is no elevation change of any kind on the course, it could make it a good course for people in wheelchairs. I felt like this course could have used to have some of the baskets tucked up behind trees to make for more challenge. As it is, I felt like the trees that were there weren't used to their fullest extent.
