+ All baskets have eye-catching flags on top so you can see them from far away.
+ Appropriate distances for players just starting out.
+ Some tricky wooded throws.
+ Pre-made scorecards with course map on the back are available at the park info board.
+ Most of the fairways are clean.

- The tee areas are either patches of dirt or beds of stone and gravel. Both were sloppy after the recent rains/snowmelt.
- There was no signage of any kind except for the wooden arrows at every tee pointing the general way to throw showing the hole number and distance.
- No elevation or hazards to speak of.
- The whole course feels cramped and stuffed within the tiny park area. A player would feel constricted.

My favorite hole at this course is hole 5 because of the fun little path that the player has to weave through the trees in order to reach the basket. My least favorite hole here is 8 not because of the sudden right turn but because of how unclear it was where I was meant to throw. The fairway was blocked by bushes.

As for the course as a whole, Plains Park is nothing special. It's tiny and flat. Avoid the course after rain. There are three open holes, five wooded holes and one hybrid hole. There are nine baskets here with some semblance of cleanliness and order. It is very much the kind of course that is meant to introduce someone to the sport or provide a quick diversion. In that respect, Plains Park performs its job well. The trees are just dense enough to provide a manageable challenge for the novice, and the open holes are just long enough to show a new player what it's like to throw a nice glide. More experienced players will breeze through the open holes. Just don't let your guard down with the wooded holes. Bogeys are possible here with the 'tree pinball' effect. Plains Park is functional, and that's about as generous as I can be with this course.

Bottom line: Recommended for beginners. Come to Plains Park if you want to show someone how to play or if you only have the time for a speedy 9.

Good for a quick play or to take a beginner to learn the game. The park is pretty nice and there are a couple of cool holes. One stand-out starts out in the open and plays into the woods to a basket surrounded by trees.
Decent place to work on your game if you live nearby. Any disc golf course is better than no disc golf course but there are some major flaws.

This course leaves a lot to be desired.
First of all, the beginning of the course plays through a baseball field and a soccer field which could be dangerous if any other activities are going on. Hole 1 plays right next to a somewhat major road (an errant disc from a friend of mine went over the rd narrowly missing some traffic) Also, the "fairways" on the last few holes double as a walking path which has obvious implications.
There are no real defined fairways in the wooded section of the course...my solution was to throw a tomahawk and pray. Navigation through the wooded section was also difficult; we couldnt figure out which basket to throw to in some situations.

An ok place to hone your skills if you live locally but not worth going out of the way for.

Plains Park DGC is very easy to get to. The course sits on a heavily traveled county road and is easy to spot, as the course is adjacent to a local church.

Although in a community park, the course has some variation in fairway types from open, to mixed to, to heavily wooded. Additionally, there are a few holes that had interesting doglegs or "S" shaped fairways.

The baskets were in good shape, as was the park itself. Tee signs indicated the direction to the basket and the hole length.

The most serious con with Plains Park is the proximity of the course to other public areas of the park. On nearly every hole, the fairway is adjacent to a playground, walking path, soccer field, or other location where a bystander could be in danger from an errant throw. Course designs such as these create too much exposure for a possible accident that would lead to the course being pulled or for litigation to tarnish the sport.

Despite making good use of the land that was available, the hole lengths were fairly short and the layout of several of the holes were basic straight shots. The course was almost completely flat with no real elevation change on any hole.

Despite the length of the cons, this isn't a bad course...but it's not a good course either. In a word, this course is vanilla. Like so many other community courses, Plains Park is another good place for a new player, child, or senior to get some initial exposure to disc golf before moving on to a more professional course.

It is a nice quaint church park. Balanced: has 2 mixed, 2 open, and 5 technical wooded holes to challenge your game. Hole #8 was a pleasant unique surprise. It is a long tight lefty curving or anhyzer that mimicks a croissant or a crescent as it meanders through the woods. Great place to work on your technical game. Gives locals a chance to work on game after work, school, etc. if they don't have the 30-45 minutes travel to play world class courses to the north of here. Nice tee signs.

Flat! It has some design flaws. It is a short course. Park has many other activities that would absolutely disrupt play or be a safety concern: a busy street, walking trail, and playground on hole #1, A property to the right and athletic field on hole #2, Athletic field on hole #3, (the shots literally play through the field and not just along the side of it. #3 and 4 criss cross fairways. Holes 4-9 all use walking paths as fairways through the woods. #5-7 are basically just really dense forrests with no fairway except for the adjacent walking path. #9 has no fairway at all. There is a way, but I'm not sure Innova has invented the UFO disc that changes directions and elevations numerous times to negotiate forrests. Course seems to induce big drives where there may be people and then it is almost impossibly technical in the woods. Not a real long course. I am not even sure it is beginner friendly due to the potential danger and frustration level. Tee Pads are mud with wood slab.

I am glad there is a course in the North Penn area. They needed one. There is a nice memorial to a disc golfer who maybe was taken too soon. Course is in his/her memory. Awesome. Groovy statues in the park too. I always enjoy a round and there is enough here that I might stop by if I am in the area. Definetely more challenging than Branchwood 9 that is nearby. Not many ace chances so the fun factor is down a bit here for a short niner. Basically fills a void in an area that lacked a course.

Marked holes have wooden arrows pointing towards baskets (if lucky) and estimated distance. Baskets appear to be Mach II with double chains, they sit low.

Dirt tee pads with a beveled wooden 4x6 to indicate edge facing basket. Baskets are hard to locate, so scouting ahead is advised. This is a short course, most holes 200-300ft long. As the course moves into the wooded area, things start to get a little tight and unnecessarily difficult for the length of this course. Finding the next tee or basket was not obvious. Too many trees make for unrecognizable fairways. Expect many tree collisions. This course is short but extremely difficult. It also appears to be poorly maintained.

Plays along a church (I assume owns the course), with a park, jungle gym, ball field and skate park. There are bathrooms on site. Lots of kids were playing on the skate park when I arrived, and I asked where the first hole was. They were kind enough to point me in the general direction and I was on my own from there. This course seems slapped in with little thought.
