I'd rather go down the waterslide

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 4, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Some of the better tee signs that I have seen. Props to whoever created those. Great map of each hole as well as OB, any obstacles, hole length. Works of art.
+Nice red baskets.
+Overall very nice, well kept park with walking path, waterpark, ball fields, parking lot, picnic tables, etc.
+OK variety in hole length. A few right around or just under 200. A few mid to upper 300s.
+Update: Concrete tees installed last fall. Big improvement over the lumpy natural tees that were here.

Cons:

-No elevation to speak of besides the little bump on hole 3.
-Pretty open so wind will be an issue often.
-Lots going on in this park. Even in the middle of a weekday, I was worried about hitting pedestrians on the path a few times. Waited patiently for them to get out of harm's way. On a summer day with the waterpark and/or ball fields buzzing, you might not want to play here.
-Could lose a disc in the drainage ditches. It's not too likely that you throw here but you never know. I can only imagine that those things are dirty and muddy at the bottom.
-Two holes that follow the curve of the baseball field. It is a fairly unnatural curve.
-Not a lot of challenge from distance or obstacle. Trees are mostly mid-height coniferous trees that are easy to throw over or avoid.

Other Thoughts:

+Not a bad course. They did use the land fairly well. The land just isn't prime disc golf property.
+Stop here if you are a course bagger or want to drop the kids off at the waterpark and play a round.
+Best holes: 3,4,5. 3 is a fun hole that is blind off the tee and ends up with the basket atop a small mound. Would be very fun to ace. Adds a bit of challenge while putting as well. 4 and 5 throw through some coniferous trees. 5 plays like a tunnel shot if you don't choose to go over the top.
-Worst holes: 2,8,9. 2 and 9 are the ones that follow the curve of the outfield fence. Not my favorite kind of hole. 2 also has 3's basket in view off the tee so look closely at the sign. 8 is a very short, open hole where you throw towards the baseball fields. Dangerous and not even fun.

Good 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 6, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice course for beginners. Some challenging holes but also some birdy chances. Has some water in play on a couple holes. Besides the water you're not likely to lose a disc.

Cons:

I didn't like hole 8 playing directly into the walking path. Hole 3's basket seems to be hole 2's basket. Basket 2 is farther left. Would like a map on the course but you can Google it.

Other Thoughts:

I enjoyed it I'd play again
