We played Schultz Park on our way back home from a trip going north out of the Quad Cities. We decided to add one more little nine hole course to squeeze in a few more holes, and Schultz Park was a pleasant little surprise! There is very little danger of interfering with other things going on in the park (e.g. soccer practice), although we did have to wait for a moment on a lady walking through the park with her dog.
Tee pads have been added since some of the initial reviews of this park... small pads are better than no pads!
Several drives of over 300'
Good use of elevation, some interesting throws with the valley
Good use of a small area
Not very far from the highway in/out of the QC
Easy to play a quick round
No danger of losing a disc
Good for a warm up on your way or a cool down on your way back
Good use of trees to make more challenging drives and upshots
Valley blocks some of the wind

Tee pads are on the small side
#1, as noted below, is a blind approach, and another basket appears to be #1 until after you throw
Some of the signs have been damaged
A few of the holes play against each other, but I doubt this is often a problem with the amount of disc golf traffic in the park
Potential for water at the lowest point in the valley, though we did not face this

We almost didn't stop, but it was so close to the highway. I'm glad we did. I'll definitely play again on my way up highway 61.

-Easy to get to from highway 61
-In a nice neighborhood
-For the most part easy to follow
-Some of the trees add difficulty
-not busy and all the playground equipment is away from the course.

-Didn't use the tee pads because they reminded me of a batters box in baseball at the end of the season and I didn't trust the footing
-I blew by the entrance to the park because it is sudden, but there was a sign for the park.

Id say if you are in the area and you wanted to play a quick nine this would be a nice course to stop at. Its nothing really special but nothing I really complain about either except the tee pads. It is a beginner friendly course with most of the holes in the 250-300 range.

A very nice little valley. Small amount of land used very well to grant nine good holes of disc. Very well maintained park, with no litter. I played barefoot and felt no pain from rough terrain or, fear of glass the entire round.
As we entered the last half of the course; I realized; because I was writing them down, hole lengths were very similar. It hadn't felt that way, because the holes provide nice variety in shot selection and elevation.
But, I did make these notes: #6 plays slightly longer than 300, due to a slight uphill finish. #7 Begins with a fairly low ceiling and is a long slight anheiser (rhbh).
#9 is only 270 ft., but has extreme uphill elevation for the first half of the hole; resulting in the shot playing more like 330 ft.
Tee signs are quite basic. However, a nice addition is arrows, on a metal plate, on top of the chest high tee posts, showing direction to bucket.
Unworn tees illustrate that this one is an escape from the crowds.

The use of this rather small parcel of valley; although magical, presents one troubling aspect.....any amount of people on the course at one time will make for dangerous play. Buckets are usually close to tees. Also, buckets themselves, are grouped pretty closely together. We had the course to ourselves in the middle of a weekday; and, the course seems rather unplayed; though, very well kept; so, for us, was not an issue.

As hole lengths indicate; this is a 300 foot per hole course. No real long ones and only one 210 ft., MUST, bird. If this is a challenging range for you; you will enjoy the layout.
