Rotary Park DGC Flows Much Better If You Start With # 9! 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Mar 29, 2019
Played the course:once
Pros:
Rotary Park is a small neighborhood park set by a lake with the usual picnic shelter and a ball field. The course starts beside the picnic shelter playing into the park. The course flows much better if you play # 9 first and then play 1 to 8 which then finishes out by the parking lot.
The disc golf course has concrete tee pads with a simple tee block just beside the pad which shows the hole # and distance. I haven't seen these before and they are simple but effective and unobtrusive. Also, probably not real appealing to the vandals. I think they're perfect for a little course like this. The baskets are pretty green colored models by Prodigy.
The hole distances range from 175 to 300' making this a nice recreational course. But it has one thing that is unique to this course. Hole # 4 is a simple straight forward 175' to an open basket. There are two palm trees about halfway to the basket. Set in the trees to the right of the pad is a spinner button attached to a tree with has choices of left, right or Mando. I assume with these, one either has to throw left or right around the palm and the Mando choice would be the narrow three foot gap between the two palms. I wish the spinner spun a little easier but it's still a cool innovative addition here. Holes 5 & 6 both close along the lakeside so splashing your disc is a real possibility here.
# 7 is a fun rec throw across the edge of the lake to the basket set under some trees. The carry is probably only 125' but it's still a cool hole. I also thought # 3 was cool with the basket protected by two bushes/palm trees?
I thought the club missed out on a great option on # 2 by not placing the basket by in the palms. It's not that exciting having it in front of the palms. But this club has done such great work, both here and at Gordy Road, they probably have a reasonable reason why they placed it in front

Cons:
Rec distances.
Chance of losing your disc in the lake.
Nice course but it's still a little 9 hole rec course.
Having to walk back into the park on # 9 just doesn't make any sense to me.

Other Thoughts:
I like this little course a lot. I also liked The 27 hole Gordy Road Course a lot. This Treasure Coast Disc Golf Club just might have something going on here! I think they do. These are not wonderful pieces of land but they are somehow designing and maintaining good courses. Imagine what they could do with a prime piece of Oregon or New Hampshire property!
