Decent little spin... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 21, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Robinson Park is a 9 hole course set up in a quite large city park, with multiple other activities available. Decent spot to bring the family while you throw.

Decent Chainstar baskets here (I think), caught well, and were mounted well enough. Some nice pin placements that used the multitude of mature trees to force lines. One pin position per hole.

Concrete tee pads, which were all plenty long and wide. Well done on these. One tee position per hole.

I was surprised at the amount of actual distance there was on most holes. There's several that are sub 300', but they're not always gimmes. Plenty of space to put some good pulls out there.

As mentioned, lots of large, mature trees to navigate around. This provides most of the obstacles here. Nearly every hole has multiple lines...you just have to hit them. Nothing overly crazy...just a lot of options.

Big signs, with full maps on them. They help with navigation, which gets a little wonky in spots.

Cons:

As mentioned above, the navigation gets a little odd, especially after hole 5. Even with the big maps on each hole, it's not overly intuitive.

The whole park is pretty darn flat.

A few of the holes could pose a safety hazard, as they run close to the road that winds through the park. With all the activities here, I'd assume it can get busy from time to time.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, this is a decent little spin, and a step above your average city park 9 hole course. Nice distances, decent lines...you can definitely do worse than to run this a few times.

Probably not worth going way out of your way for, but a good time if you're in the area.

fairly lengthy city park course. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is set in a well maintained multiuse park. The baskets here are all in really good shape and catch very nicely. The hole lengths here are all fairly long compared to a lot of small city nines. Most are near or over 300 feet. There are signs at every tee area. The signs serve their purpose just fine here. They have the hole # and a topographic map of the whole course with all the holes shown on each. There are quite a few mature trees on every hole so there is always some kind of obstacle to contend with. The course does a good job of staying away from the other park activities. It's free and only about 10 minutes from South Park. No garbages but it is a short course so you should be able to easily pack anything out with you. There are restrooms there, however they aren't open all year.

Cons:

The "tee pads" are pretty much useless. We just threw from next to or behind them as I'm sure most people do judging by the worn out areas near each tee. The actual tees are 2x4s imbedded in the ground in about a 4 foot by 4 foot square, they're more a tripping hazard than anything. There is hardly any elevation change on this course, it's mostly flat with very sandy soil throughout.

Other Thoughts:

Nothing that will blow you away but a solid city park nine with better then average distance than most. Worth a look if you're in the area and play it with South Park too. By itself not worth a far trip out of the way.
