Too many cons 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 18, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has some things going for it, such as:
-Easy to spot the course from the parking lot (although the first hole is harder to find)
-Easy to navigate without a map
-Nice signs
-New baskets that catch well
-Easy parking
-Super close to the interstate
-At a wonderful park with many fantastic amenities for family fun
-A couple of holes that are fun without high risk of something going wrong.

Cons:

Although I am grateful that this course means more baskets in the ground, I'm sorry to say that they do not belong in this park. Holes 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 all pose safety threats as they play too close to fields, playgrounds, and people's private property. I am a skilled, careful player who can throw 320 feet. There were a few times when I thought my drives might go over the fence and into people's yards, potentially hurting someone. Although this course is very easy and open, I think it is a bad course for beginners because there is too great a risk that they will hurt or anger someone. In time, I am confident that something will go wrong (someone will get hurt, neighbors will be angered by people climbing into their yards to get their discs) and this course will be pulled. I fear that this course will do more to damage the reputation of disc golf than build it.

Other Thoughts:

I love the idea of this course and appreciate the hard work put in by whoever built it. But I'm afraid it's going to have a sad ending unless it is redesigned. I know the park is being renovated. Perhaps the course can be altered to take advantage of the new parts of the park.
