OK Course In A Run-Down Park! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 16, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is an aging recreational type caliber course in a park that's probably close to getting shut down by the city powers. The neighborhood around the park is obviously on the downswing also. They appear to have cut off most of it's maintenance budget. I was there by 7:45 AM and the placed was locked. The park hours are 8 to 6 PM. Now that's some user friendly hours. Want to get a round in after work, duh! I don't think so. How about a quick jog in the AM before work, Nope- Parks closed. The grumpy park maintenance guy showed up at 7:55 and reluctantly opened the gate right at 8 AM. (And he left half of the gate closed, obviously hoping that people would think the park was closed.) Okay, I'm through venting about what a dingy, craphole the park is. The course has some moderately challenging holes. There are a few benches to rest one. And back during World War 2 days, this was probably an inviting, pretty park.

Cons:

I spent about 15 minutes trying to locate the # 1 teepad and then figure out which basket to throw to. Eventually I played the next couple of holes. Then I played # 9 which crossed the park's entrance street. Couldn't find # 10 to save my life. Found two teepads with big red X's. Does that mean you're not throwing from them. I kinda played a couple more baskets but by then I was clearly frustrated with PK and ready to get on my way. # 8, I think, plays right alongside a little kids playground. An accident waiting to happen there.

Other Thoughts:

I'd skip PK and drive the 5 miles or so over to the nicer part of the city and play Lake Olmstead. The rich folks over there who live on the water get the nicer course to play on, and it's maintained by the city, not forgotten.

Pros:

The course still exists.

Cons:

Here are my problems with PK. There are some nice holes...there are some holes that play over a playground...where kids actually play!. Not safe.

Other Thoughts:

We actually skipped 2 holes because of what looked to be a gang bangers picnic. There was also a family reunion in the park...of about 350 people...all with T-shirts stating that they were there for the family reunion. The small child from the reunion who ran out and picked up my disc on 18. when i went and asked for it back (at the family reunion) his momma told me we shouldn't be "silingin' these frizbees" while they were having a family reunion. When I politely informed her that it was a disc golf course, she screamed at me in front of all of them to "get my white @$$ out of their park." The sad part is that I laughed...but at least it was whole 18.
