A Nice Place to Introduce New Players to Disc Golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 27, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great place to learn the game, I've taken a few friends out there for their first experience with Disc Golf
Location to where I live, I live less than a 10 minute bike ride away, 3 minutes by car.
Great for practicing your short game.
Great to grab a quick came if you have a few free time, I'll go out there after work and have just enough time for a game before the sun sets.

Cons:

It is really short. I'd be surprised if the longest hole was over 100 ft away
Some of the holes run close to fences with barbed wire, a buddy lost one of my discs over the fence, but it was his first game.

Other Thoughts:

My buddies and I have started using the tees and aiming at different baskets than those dedicated for the hole just to add extra length and variety.

I achieved inner Peace here! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 8, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1) Fun course to practice mid-ranges and putters. I only used a few discs and that was ok on this course (Spider, Mako, Stingray, Gator and my Pro Rhyno Putter) because it was designed as a beginner course.

2) Nice discatcher baskets installed properly. Locks and valve boxes used . . . seems above and beyond since there are no alternate positions and no room for alternate positions too.

3) Framed teeboxes made out of crushed sea-shells. This stuff works well but only because it is such a short course . . . there is no need for a runup on any single hole. Just plant in the front of the box and make your ace run. The holes timbers used to frame the box also has a door number attached so at least you know which tee to use in that area where three tees sortof converge.

4) Surprising nice variety of shots needed here. Sure they are all short but there are some straight shots, mostly hyzers, but even a hole or two that can handle an anhyzer line. Pick your favorite shot on a couple of the holes with options.

5) Quick play . . . 10 rounds in 90 minutes for me. I even set my bag down after a few rounds and just carried my 5 discs with me.

6) The course seems to be in nice condition . . . the turf is healthy and thick and the trees are in good shape.

7) They even have benches for guys like me who play 10 rounds in a day . . .I don't think I sat down once I just kept playing but I did set my bag down on the bench making it easier to pick up and put down . . . before I realized I didn't really need to carry my 22 discs . . . I only needed 5.

Cons:

1) Goofy transition between hole 5 and 6 as it is quite a bit of backtracking . . .I know . . . like 100' out of the way! 

2) A couple of the tees had gotten slightly rutted out from rain washing the shells around and whatever use they get. I wonder if I put more rounds on that course than it had seen in a while.

3) Not really challenging at all . . . fun to throw but it does not challenge you. I would honestly call these holes all Par 2's so in essence I shot a +10 for 90 holes)

4) Flat . . .

Other Thoughts:

I used it as a way to vent after my $600 car repair and needing to sit in a dealership for 5 hours rather than playing like 3 new courses. So when I got out of the dealership I headed right here and played 10 rounds. I played some rounds as ace-runs and some rounds I tried to birdie everything. I ended up with an average of (-8) with 2 perfect (-9) rounds and 2 rounds of (-7) and the rest were (-8). I did not get a single ace which really shocked me . . . perhaps because I was trying to get them and that affecting my throwing technique. I played 10 rounds between about 5:30 and 7:00 when it was nearly dark and I was determined to get an ace and beat my most holes played in a day . . . that way the car repair didn't ruin the day. I also figured if I played a lot of holes the cost per hole on the day went way down . . . $600/162 holes is an expensive pay to play. Not much more needs to be said about this hole other than it accomplishes what it was designed for. It exposes people to the game, creates a nice place for the community to enjoy the game, allows locals to practice their putting and mid-range games, and it allows course whores who just paid $600 for a car repair to vent and play 10 rounds. It also will be the first ace for many people I bet . . .with holes around 100' many shots are bound to go in . . . just none of my 90 drives.
