Pros:

First time at this course, with multiple throws per hole and having to search and estimate tee areas, took me 45 minutes. There is SERIOUS potential to be creative here and make some pretty amazing long tees. The course is in one small part of the park and while the park itself is huge and offers something for everyone, this section of the park was mostly dedicated to disc golf (see note below about picnic tables, however). Due to the size, the walk between holes is extremely short. Ample parking. Didn't see any other golfers so no wait.

Cons:

Lack of signage is a huge problem here. For most holes I just looked for the portion of grass that was most worn-down and assumed that was the tee pad. Some parks won't allow signs or pads, which can both be expensive anyway, but some cheap flags would be nice. Just something to designate a tee area. Also, there is room on just about every hole to put in long tee areas. It was a little muddy yesterday and we haven't had a lot of rain, so I would imagine that it can get nasty after a storm.

Other Thoughts:

Considering the allotted land, and that this is a park for beginners, the design is pretty good. At this point you must print out a map to know approximately where to tee off. As I mentioned, you could be creative and add some serious length and hazards. Just take this course for what it is, a mid-range practice course, and go out and take some ace runs! I could sum the whole experience up with this: I will return when I'm in the area, but only to make up my own long tees.

Family friendly 9 holes 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Numbered tees and baskets.
Well maintained fairways.
Trees scattered throughout to add some challenge.
Good baskets.

Cons:

Quite short, but you knew that already.
No listed hole distances, but everything seems to be the high 100' to low 200' range.
No teepads, but grass is fine for this.

Other Thoughts:

Great little 9 holer that's fun for the whole family but still a bit of a challenge for amateurs for an all putter round. Several holes have carefully placed trees that I somehow managed to dodge with my Wizard and Magic. Don't even bother taking anything but your putters, but I think that's what makes a course like this fun to play. Work on short game, and I was able to finish 9 holes in 20 minutes flat. Hole #9 goes directly over the edge of a small pond, which was a nice touch.
