Riverside 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 30, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice Long drives. You can really make use out of all the various discs.
Full 18 holes. Has baskets and cement tees. Scenic course with less pedistrians.

Cons:

A few vandalized holes, along with empty 40 oz cans and bottles in the baskets. Crowded course, you often have to wait to play. There are a few water holes on the back nine which make it tricky to play. Also on the holes with water there usually are people in the water trying to find their disc. You either have to wait or go around to the next hole.

Other Thoughts:

You probably could make a killing by getting some waders and retrieve those lost disc on the water holes. My fiance and I often skip the water holes because golf disc are not cheap.

Riverside GR 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Probably the best course in the Grand Rapids area. Very challenging water. Nice wide open frost 9. Very nice park. worth the drive downtown in the summer. Don't be scared to jump in after your discs, it's pretty clean, comparably.

Cons:

Can flood easily, as it is directly on the banks of the grand river. Due to damaged/ broken signs, it can be a little difficult to traverse.

Other Thoughts:

Also an old post course of site

Great course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

great set up, with a variety of easy birdies to some that you hope to get a par on. testing water holes on back nine. nice grass and mostly open.

Cons:

no cement pads in back nine.

Other Thoughts:

sometimes people don't understand that it is a disc golf course and think it is ok to have picnics in the middle of the fairway. there is a guy who gets all the discs out of the water and sells them for cheap. sometimes he has some really nice disc.
