Beginner Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 31, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course has a city parking lot located next to it, this is mostly for the little league fields that are in the park. The first hole is located near a billboard for the course and has a map on it that lists all of the holes, designed shots, and the distances from pad to pin. The pads are all made of concrete and have an arrow at the top of them pointing you towards the where the pin is. Each hole has dga mach 3 baskets, for the most part they are in good repair. Most of the tee pads for the next pin are located near each of the previous baskets. Otherwise they are really easy to spot since the course plays through and open field park. The course loops around and up a hill back to the parking lot at the start. This course would be nice to take a beginner to to play since most of the holes are literally straight forward and don't require finesse shots.

Cons:

This course is very monotonous. All of the holes are literally straight ahead and have almost no obstacles in front of them (except holes 4 and 6, 6 poses at least a decent challenge and 4 is a 114 ft par 3 many aces have been recorded from people unloading their bag on it). The tees have no signage on them except for the indication of what hole number it is, no distance, no map, and no par. All of the holes play through a wide open field that has no obstacles except for the occasional light post or stray tree. The biggest issue I have with each of the holes is the 4ft radius of concrete that is around each of the pins. Park jobs are nearly impossible on these holes because the concrete causes the disc to skip away and cause unnecessary damage to it. They also remove pins 7,11,13 due to them being positioned on a hill that kids like to sled down.

Other Thoughts:

Improvement on this course would be difficult since it is in a small city park. I'm actually surprised that there is a course even here. Legitimate tee signs would be a welcome sight on each of the tee pads. Actually developing some sort of rough on the edge of the fairways of each of the holes would be nice, as it stands right now the entire park is an open field void of tall grass or the occasional tree. Hole 14 & 18 plays way to close to the little league diamonds and a careful shot is required to play these holes so that the stray disc doesn't injure anyone. Creating alternate pin positions for 7,11,13 would be nice to see for winter play of the course so that everyone can fully enjoy the park. Eliminating the unnecessary pile of concrete under the basket would also be nice and they could have saved money from all of that to put in tee signs for each of the tee pads. There's really no stand out hole at this course they are all fairly beginner friendly, so taking a new person here until they are comfortable would be nice but this is not a destination course.

Red Arrow Park Review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 27, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Good for beginners. Towards the end it has a few nice longer, open throws that you can really launch on.

Cons:

Holes are too short. Layout is confusing. Holes along the creek are VERY muddy.

Other Thoughts:

I wouldn't recommend hitting this one up
