Cool park, fun but poorly designed course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Lots of good things to say here:
-Great Teepads
-nice DD baskets
-Fun shots
-good elevation change
-beautiful park

Cons:

-poor signage, not easy to navigate
-brings danger to other parkgoers into play on many holes
-have to walk out of the way to cross a huge creek several times
-back 9 plays throughout a wetland
-needs bridges to prevent backtracking
-very poor flow, lots of extra walking

Other Thoughts:

Look... I get it. You live in a small town and have a sweet park that you were somehow able to put a pretty high level course into. One shouldn't just make a course difficult for the sake of being difficult though. Use the land in a smart and safe way, don't just drop baskets and teepads in like you own the place. The problem is that as the town grows and the park gets more use, safety hazards and other issues will become more prevalent. Soon they will be asking you to redesign. I really enjoyed many of the shots, but the fact that it is not a park dedicated to disc golf makes the players and sport of disc golf look bad when a course is designed like that. All it takes is one poorly timed errant shot to get a course pulled. Be warned.
