Poolside DGC is a quality course that is meant to introduce beginners to the game. Being constructed by Team Jenkins, the designers clearly understand the different levels of players out there and know how to implement that into creating the perfect beginner course. The course has plenty of parking, a porta-potty, and signs pointing you in the direction of the first tee. There are also rules and instructions explained at the beginning, showing that this course was designed to bring new players to the sport.

The tee signs are informative, though you can see the number labeled on the basket from every tee anyways. The baskets are in good shape even though they are old ones from Roscoe Ewing. The tees are natural but wooden 2x4's are in the ground to show you where to throw from.

The course does a nice job of offering different kinds of shots among some trees. The pins are protected by trees on a few holes, while other holes have trees more in the middle of the hole. This creates some shot selection for the new player and allows them to practice avoiding obstacles on both drives and approaches. I liked how none of the holes had trees very close to the tees, which if it did could be discouraging to new players by hitting trees right away on the throw.

Navigation is as easy as can be with signs on the baskets pointing you in the direction of the next tee. The longer walk from 7-8 had numerous signs to navigate you. There is virtually no chance of losing discs here either.

This course is very basic, so it obviously will not appeal to all players. Even average players should breeze through this course and could become bored quickly here.
There is no real challenge other than avoiding a few trees. I am an average player and I had an easy run at a deuce on every hole. But again, this course is great for the type of player it is designed for.

Every hole here is short and pretty straight.

Hole 2 is close to someone's yard, be careful of overthrowing here.

Other than the small hill on hole 8, this course is as flat as can be.

On a busy summer day, some of the holes would interfere with other park goers. Some to the point where they would be unplayable, especially for a new player.

Poolside DGC makes for a very quick, casual round and is a good first test for the young and new player. It doesn't offer too much, but is designed very well for this type of player with its easy navigation, appropriate number of obstacles, and miniscule chance of losing discs. The only aspect that may cause problems is the close proximity to other park events, but other than that this course is a great way to introduce people to the sport.

Plus it's only a few minutes away from Roscoe, so, what the heck.
