Good Beginner Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 15, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice 9 hole course in Scera Park. Basket are in good shape. Great course for just starting out or practicing some new disc. Course is easy to shot under par. Lots of the shots are low from the trees.

Cons:

Lots of traffic in the summer time. Wish it had harder shots or longer holes. The par 4's and par 5 should be par 3's but great for the beginner disc golfer.

Other Thoughts:

Should be all par 3's on the course. Good course to throw. Little hard in the summer time because of lots of people.

I Must Have Been Lucky To Get Here Before The Crowds! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 17, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Scera is a very lovely, flat city park with scattered mature trees. The park seems to share it's park area with an elementary school. There are some open spaces for soccer and really nice, outdoor theatre. The course navigates around all of these.

The course starts near one of the parking lots. The holes are marked with little green poles with metal tee signs on the sides. The little signs give just the minimal information. There are bag holders on the sides of these little poles but they were too low so my bag would sit on the ground anyway. The tee pads were just worn dirt areas. They are actually not bad. They obviously don't get enough use to get rutted. The baskets are DGA models with the red numbers on top.

The pars listed on the signs are for middle school aged players. For instance, # 1 is a 249' par 4 so either embrace that Par 4 and go for the easy Eagle and stick your chest out and smile when you Eagle it, as I do, OR play everything as Par 3's.

The course plays as an EASY recreational course. #1 and 2 are near identical holes, straight with just a little hyser needed. Go for the ACES here or they're a great place to practice your roller.

# 3 is a hole where I can some issues with the houses/fences on the left. They're close enough that newbies and junior high type players will probably launch a few into those yards.

# 6 is another where there could be trouble if the school kids are out for recess. I played early in the morning and it was just a big open expanse of green grass.

# 8 was a fun throw. There's some challenge of keeping your throw straight here.

Cons:

I think probably the biggest con here would be the popularity of the park. There might be times when you might have to skip a hole or two. Come out at times when the park won't be so crowded.

The design does run close to the neighbors yards on 2, and 3 and close to school on # 6.

Short distances. Someone complained that some of the holes were just ACE runs. Enjoy those ACE runs. ACE them!

Other Thoughts:

I found this to be a great little 30 minute round. It was fun, easy and not too challenging. You don't have to get your boots on. You can play in your flip flops. Play early before the crowds arrive. It had ACE runs. It had some great holes to work on my rollers.

Be a good steward for our game and use a little common sense when throwing around other park users and the neighbor's fences. When I feel uncomfortable about throwing too close to a neighboring fence, I often go to the roller.

Great for beginners and children 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 10, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great for beginners.
Great for a quick round or for practicing. Can get through it in about 30 minutes.
Nice grassy park.

Cons:

Watch out for pedestrians. Fairly crowded park and most are not playing disc golf.
Small and not much variety.
Should all be par 3's. Some holes are marked as 4's or 5's. No way.

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the courses I learned to play on. It is a fun course for beginners and for children. Played with my daughter and my nephew. The first three holes are great for children. They loved it.

Meh 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 8, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Each tee is marked with a sign. (and most sign posts have hooks for bags.

-Good quality baskets, easy to locate.

-Hole 4 is a good blind throw around the fence of an outdoor theater. Hole 8 is a tunnel shot lined with trees, pretty fun if you can keep it straight.

Cons:

Oh boy, where do I start?

-The first 3 holes are an ace race. Poorly designed. Their total combined distance seems about equal to the next shortest hole on the course.

-As of 6-8-15 the first three holes are "closed due to people being hit and discs going over the fence into private property." The tee signs and baskets are covered with orange bags, so you can still play them, it's just an inconvenience.

-This park has too many people which is a hazard. Hole 2, 3, and 6 interfere directly with playgrounds which are usually in use. I skip 6 when there's kids around. Hole 9 runs straight across the main grassy area of the park, which 75% of the time will have a volleyball/soccer game going on or something else with a lot of people.

-Tees are dirt. On hole 4 you can throw from a concrete pad about 20' from the tee sign.

-The course ends a good distance from the beginning. If you park at tee 1, the walk back should have another hole or 2 to throw, but it doesn't.

-No par 3's. Also, there aren't many obstacles. Other than hole 8, there aren't any tree shots, water hazards, OBs, etc.

-Take a map. The tee signs give distance, but no indication of the direction the basket is.

Other Thoughts:

It's an okay course. Probably good if you're a beginner (if there aren't many people around.) If you only have an hour to throw around, it's a fun round, but definitely not a competition course. Okay for beginners and a last resort for intermediate.


UPDATE-Since review, course has been altered. Haven't played yet.
