Busy city park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 19, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

New signs and baskets. View of the Arkansas river throughout the entire course. Bathroom at beginning, midway and end of course. Course makes good use of the land that is available to play in. Forced to make a variety of shots. Somewhat shaded to keep cool during hot summer days. Bicycle rental if you feel like doing that right at the park.

Cons:

No privacy. This course is in a very busy city park with separate bike and pedestrian paved pathways. On a busy day, you will find yourself waiting to take your shots because some are right by the sidewalks. Most people have no idea that disc golf is going on and stop and take breaks right in front of you.

Other Thoughts:

This is a very nice course, it just seems to get way too crowded on a nice day. Other cities should look into what Tulsa did to make a beautiful bike friendly city and throw in a disc golf course near major river banks. The course left me satisfied with a good somewhat challenging round (finished +4). If you gota play this course, I would probably suggest playing in winter time because the other park traffic should be minimum at that time. If this was my nearest local course, I would drive the few extra miles to find a more secluded disc golf course.

Pros:

All holes are well marked. No water hazards unless you count the Arkansas River and/or Riverside Road. All around good location and fun course.

Cons:

Can't complain.

Other Thoughts:

Keep the disc down as much as possible as there are tree limbs everywhere.

Good Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 17, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well marked, well maintained, good setting, good baskets, tee boxes. Solid all around.

Cons:

None

Other Thoughts:

I don't mind the busy street. Only a wild throw will end up in the river or the street. Remember to look both ways because people do travel fast on that road.

meh 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 28, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Like the other reviews hint it is for beginers it is great to stop by and get a couple of quick holes in or play the full 18 it does not take long at all.

Cons:

Just the road, I have not thrown any discs into the road personally, but it is only because of fear of an insurance claim :)

Other Thoughts:

decent park all around but as far as the course goes.....meh

Beginners Heaven 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 28, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Course is excellent for beginners. Few trees for some decent obstacles. Nice open drives. Holes are quick and easy. 2 people played through the full 18 in an hour moving at a fairly quick pace. Great place to practice any shots.

Cons:

Running along the road and the river can be a bit dangerous. If you don't control yourself throwing a disc into either one can be easy. Throwing into the river is normally easy to retrieve but still a hassle but nothing hurts your disc more than throwing it into a car moving 45 mph the other direction.

Other Thoughts:

Such a great course for people new to the sport. The scenery is beautiful and the park is kept really clean. Again for beginners or people just wanting to practice this course is amazing. If your more experienced then this course won't challenge you but still a lot of fun to play.

Fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 22, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

Good signage, logical progression from one hole to the next, grounds are very well-kept throughout the year, central location and short length make it great for squeezing in a round in less than an hour, little-to-no chance of losing a disc, bathroom and water fountain facilities.

Cons:

busy road borders a third of the fairways, 10 forces you to throw over a parking lot usually filled with cars, short length and wide-open terrain won't challenge many experienced players, one of the city's main walking trails runs through entire course, often right across a fairway.

Other Thoughts:

Course gets an "Average" score simply from a pure disc golf perspective, there are other factors that are often considered beyond that. I really enjoy playing this course because its length and entry-level difficulty make it a great introduction to the sport for friends/family who may not have play regularly. My dad, sisters, and wife will gladly accompany me to Riverside when I know they'd be frustrated with more technical courses. Watch out for runners, joggers or kids every time you step onto the tee! They're oblivious to the course and don't think twice about sneaking up behind you as you drive. Traffic on the course and on the bordering street is irritating only on the busiest days but is bearable otherwise. What it lacks as a pure test of disc golf skill is made up for in the atmosphere and ease of access when those factors are important.
