Nice Course For Baggers And Beginners! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 12, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Most of you players will write the Peace Community Park course off as a complete and utter waste of time. To start with the longest hole is only about 125'. It's just a 9 hole course. There are no tee signs. The tee pads are terrible. Only the baskets are even close to be being acceptable equipment and # 5 basket catcher part has been broken off and lying sadly on the ground. There is very little in the way of challenge. Yes, all of this is true. So if you aren't interested in bagging a course just just to add another one to your DGCR played list, then drive by Peace Park and find the more challenging courses locally.

BUT, if you have a son/daughter/friend who you are planning on introducing to disc golf, then this just might be the right course. It's not the greatest course for newbies I've ever played, but it's amongst them. Other than one fence, there's almost no chance for losing a disc. It's easy to find. Parking is not a problem.

The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow band and a small number. Other than the # 5, they are in good shape. The tee boxes do have the hole number on them.

Signature hole? Picking a signature here is like selecting the prettiest mountain in Kansas. Hard to pick but I'm going with # 8. It's about 80' but you have to hyser around a tree.

Cons:

The course does have it's warts.

Elementary school distances ranging from 67' to 150'.

Tee boxes are little 3' x 6' boxes and some are lacking in fill material. The hole number is indicated on the tee box.

# 5 basket catcher has been broken away from the inner post.

A couple holes are wide open and short.

The wind was blowing hard this morning. (Probably shouldn't count as a con.)

Other Thoughts:

If you leave here without an Ace, you are;

1. Probably a beginner.
2. Not a very good player.
3. Disappointed.

But, for the serious course bagger, this is an extremely easy 20 minute bag.

Good "Backyard" Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 23, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Great atmosphere on the course. Palm trees abound in this fenced in park.
-Plenty of ace runs and easily birdied holes. This is a great place to introduce new players or to gain some confidence.
-Clearly defined Teepads which are composed of dirt and sea shells.
-Innova DISCatchers in good shape.
-Despite being so short, this course offers some shot variety (Hyzer vs. Anhyzer). Most baskets are guarded.
-Low lying land creates a "sand trap" effect that adds a little bit of difficulty to otherwise simple holes.

Cons:

-VERY Short. Holes are easily reached/over thrown with a putter. Any experienced player would be bored here. The holes are just way too easy.
-Neighborhood around can be a little sketchy. We didn't run into any problems, but could see the potential.
-Course is only open select hours.

Other Thoughts:

This is a very short beginner/novice level course nestled between two churches in a fenced-in park. It's a course that plays very quick (I did two rounds in 20 minutes) and is incredibly easy. This course is good for who it was designed for (young children) and is great for more experienced players to work on putting/upshots. Safari golf is a good way to add some intrigue to an otherwise bland course.

Short On Length, Long On Fun! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 22, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Makes good use of the trees available.

Has nice Innova baskets that are clearly marked with hole #.

Has tee box's filled with crushed shell. This isn't an issue though, as run-ups are not needed, because of the shortness of this course. My wife and 14 year old (both only occasional players) liked the short holes, and we had a fun round here, but seasoned players will only need to bring a putter, and maybe a mid. The tees are marked with #s on the frame.

Great course for an Ace Race event.

The course was litter free and well maintained. It may be a pitch-n-putt, but they take it seriously and take good care of it.

It is surrounded by churches and seems to be in a good area.

Cons:

I think this is the shortest length course that I have ever played, shorter even than Pinebrook, and with fewer obstacles. It is ridiculously short! Maybe a con, if you like more of a challenge, or like to air them out.

Some of the tee boxes need to be filled and leveled. Not too big a deal though, as run-ups are not needed, and you can throw from the grass next to the tees if necessary.

It can be windy, and even though the course is in an urban area, there were mosquitos.

Other Thoughts:

A fun little rec/beginner course that makes the best out of the available terrain.

I wouldn't go out of my way to play this course again, but if in the area, and can't travel to some of the better courses nearby, a fun round can be had here.

Fun for an ace race / long putt practice 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 27, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Small numbered shell tee pads on each hole.
Benches on several holes
Very large playground on site for the kids while you play.

Cons:

All holes are basically long putts, nothing seemed over 120 feet.
Course is a developmental / children's course at best. It is a cute entertaining set up, but it will not provide a verteran disc golfer with anything except a place to pad their ace numbers or practice long putts on a flat semi-open course.

Other Thoughts:

Course is at the Peace Community Park, directly behind the Peace Lutheran Church. It is open during non-school hours from dusk til dawn.

Course set up is very similar to the nearby Sun-N-Fun RV resort. Play them both back to back and end up with a score under 40 for 18 holes. If you want to play another local quick 9 holer, Pineview is a similar short 9 not too far south.

ESTIMATED hole breakdown
50-70 feet = 3
70-90 feet = 3
90-120 feet = 2
Over 120 feet= 1
