Putnam Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 25, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Concrete Tees
2) Nice tee signs, with hole #, distance, par and map
3) Very clean park
4) Decent baskets
5) Good use of elevation

Cons:

1) I could not find the tee for #4
2) This course is not challenging at all and I found it to be boring. There are so few trees as to not even bother putting them in. The only real obstacle is the hill that comes into play on most of the holes.
3) From #3 you can see 2 baskets in your line of fire, it's the closer one.

Other Thoughts:

This would be a great course to learn the game on seeing as you can see the entire course from anywhere in the park.
I would raise this rating to a 3 or maybe a 3.5 if there were more trees and you had to play the creek.
All in all, not a bad course.

Fun course for beginners 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Ace runs abundant
-Very nice signage; distance, par and map included on every hole (7 was broken off)
-Decent elevation and a few well placed trees as challenge
-The river is used a little bit
-Near a swimming pool with waterslide so all the daddy disc golfers out there can drop the kids and wife off before enjoying a few rounds
-Good parking, trash cans, clean park
-Nice layout and easy to follow
-First couple holes are short and easy but the distances grow and other factors such as elevation come into play
-No waiting and course erosion from overuse; an undiscovered gem
-great for a quick round and practicing mid-range driving
-Large concrete tees

Cons:

-Short and not too challenging
-Can be flooded in spring and early summer
No other major

Other Thoughts:

When I played a small lake had formed that made water a formidable challenge on a few holes, mainly 5-9. Usually the water only comes into play on 8. The 8 basket was actually half under water so I didn't play that hole. This course has no real flaws but it is short and simple and that is why it doesn't have a higher rating. It was a pleasure to play and I recommend it if traveling along I-90 or are in the area.
