Great Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 27, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Great layout, with lots of variety.
-Challenging, yet not intimidating to beginners (except maybe 15)
-The back 9 is rarely busy.
-Very well kept with several pin placements on each hole
-Had a few improvements done for the worlds last year.
-A few memorable holes; namely 2 and 15

Cons:

-Front nine sometimes gets congested.
-Not much elevation on this one
-Probably some confusion after hole 11 for 1st timers
-Beginners may want to pass on driving over the pond, my friend lost my wraith in there
-Potential issue with traffic/sporting events, though I haven't had much trouble.

Other Thoughts:

My home course and I love it.

*EDIT: After another year of experience at this course and others, I bumped my rating up from 4 to 4.5 This course is just so well kept compared to 99% of the courses you run across. Considering they are dealing with pretty boring/flat topography, the holes are extremely well laid-out. I have probably played here 100+ times and I never get tired of it. I am blessed to live within 10 minutes of this course.

Excellent course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 11, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

All kinds of different holes to perfect your skills. As the other reviews said it is well kept. Big arms can have some easy birdies and lots of shots at aces.

Cons:

Only a few holes that you can go all out with a drive, thats what i really like. Can get crowded and along holes 2 and 3 it backs up to houses with lots of dogs. I had to fight one last time i went, it was crazy.

Other Thoughts:

Shoot for the ace hit the bird.

Very Fun and Unique 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 15, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I've never played or seen a course filled with so many unique layouts as this one. There's the "island" in the parking lot for hole 2, the "tunnel" of trees that make up most of hole 3, the "pond" at hole 15, and the "hallway" of cedar trees on hole 18 just to name a few. There are many trees throughout this park that set you up for some tricky drives and approach shots on a lot of the holes. The woods come into play on a few holes, and, as mentioned earlier, there's also a pond that comes into play on one hole. There are also some baseball fields near a couple holes that serve as obstacles. There are even some OB's to top it off. There are multiple basket locations on each hole, and some of them are different enough that they altar the layout of that hole somewhat, which adds to the variety of this course. Some holes tend to favor forehand throws, while others tend to favor backhand throws. Overall, this course can really test your skills with each throw. The signage at each tee pad is helpful. Overall, the course is in great shape and has a great looking design.

Cons:

As fun as this course may be, there are a few small issues here and there. It's not obvious where to go to get to holes 12 and 17 (I know there's a bulletin board in the park that includes a map of the course, but I'm not sure how many people notice it when they first show up to play), and it's also a long walk to get from hole 16 to hole 17. There are two or three holes that seem to have a little too many obstacles in the way, making it a little too difficult to get a good score on them unless you're a real accurate thrower. There are a few holes with woods near the fairway and they can be real nasty to walk into if you have to look for your disc in there. Also, I've seen a little bit of poison ivy around the wooded areas.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, this is a very fun and unpredictable course, and it's easily one of my favorites. Each hole has it's own unique layouts and challenges that players will enjoy playing. It may have a few small issues, but overall it's a great course, and the design is near perfect.

Very Good Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 2, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Im a little bias b/c its my home course, but I love this course. The park is always clean and usually well manicured. and the other park activities dont often interfere with DG.

Cons:

some of the tee or basket placements mite have you scratching your head a bit.

Other Thoughts:

the areas around all the tees are very well kept and not mudpits like at some courses. losing discs shouldnt be a problem as long as you pay attention
