Such Potential for 18 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 11, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good practice course for midrange and putting shots.
Despite the compact size, hole and tee placements tend to prevent cross traffic.
Only one hole plays in spiny weeds.
Long tee boxes, so you never run out of room. Tee boxes appear to be kept manicured.
Distance from other amenities means that there's little competition from other park goers for the space.
Great place for a first timer or new disc golfer.

Cons:

Every hole is under 200 feet. If you want distance practice, this course is not it.
Signs are all gone, but most baskets fortunately still have their numbers.
First hole is far from the main park. It's better to start from hole six if you're coming from the parking lot or park center. (Six is along the bike path/walkway if you go east from the skate park.)
Basket 3 is missing, but a lack of golfers on course means you can use hole 7 for both 3 and 7. That makes it the toughest hole on the course, because then you have to play through the trees that guard long shots on the 7th.

Other Thoughts:

There is so much potential here for a short front nine and a long back nine that plays along the drainage sluice. That would bring play into the weedy area, but if it can be better maintained, it's also an area that sees no traffic from other park goers and would have a water hazard or dry hazard (depending on the season) to increase the difficulty.
If starting from hole 6, park near the intersection of Jerry Litell Way and Pop Becker Street or Eskin Fish Way (you could also start at hole 5 parking here).
To start at hole 1, park in the neighborhood east of the park, specifically on the south part of Bombay Circle, next to the park. You could also park on Salizar Way right off Regency Park Circle at the end of the park. That puts you on the walkway to hole 9.
Don't park in the parking lot unless you want a walk or desire to park in the shade. There are also shade trees for parking along Jerry Litell Way between John Runge Street and Pop Becker Street. It's a little farther walk through the center of the park, but your car will feel a lot cooler when you're done.

regency disaster 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 19, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

plenty of parking and other amendities. short holes for the most part. great for a beginner

Cons:

Because of lack of use by disgolfers, baskets get removed by vandals and thieves alot. short holes and lines not conductive to experienced players. some areas of park have heavy non-discgolfer traffic

Other Thoughts:

we are working on a redesign to make this a 18 hole course. depending on the area givin for the redesign, this course can go from advanced intermediate course thru pro. we will keep you updated. hope to have the new design in by the end of may 2011
