Pros:
-- Doesn't appear to get a lot of play, so unlikely to be crowded with disc golfers.
-- Restroom and water available at east end of park (past the 9/18 tee pads) near basketball court and pond.
-- Course maps available (near 6 and 9), but they are not accurate (see Cons).
-- Best hole is No. 3: 287 foot RHBH, slightly downhill as you get close to the basket with a big drop-off to a creek about 30 feet behind the basket.
Cons:
-- Safety issues abound. The course loops around the property twice, leading to a lot of issues where a good tee shot on a hole would endanger someone on the tee or near the basket for another hole. Examples: 3 throws over the 4/13 tee pad; 12 tees 30 feet behind (and very slightly left) of the #3 tee; the tee shot on 5 goes over the 14 tee (around the trees, so hidden from view), and a good tee shot from 5 could easily hit someone putting of 14. In addition, most holes play more or less parallel to another hole, so a slightly errant shots puts someone on the other hole in danger.
-- No. 2 is incredibly boring: 194 feet straight with no obstacles of any kind.
-- 8 and 17 are the SAME hole except for different mandos: one requires you to go right of a tree in front of you; the other requires you to go left.
-- Tees are natural. Many have tree roots and are so rutted that the are unusable.
-- Tee signs only have the hole number. Distance and layout would be nice since a few baskets are not visible from the tee.
-- Baskets are old and have seen better days.
-- Parking lot is small.
-- An errant throw (or a kick off of a tree) on No. 1 could result in a disc hitting a car in the parking lot.
-- Poor flow. When you finish #1, you walk to the nearest (most logical) tee to discover that you are at #10. Your direct route from 1 basket to 2 tee takes you through the 10 fairway; 11 to 12 takes you through the 3 fairway; 9 and 18 fairways cross, although the maps do not show that. The maps show 9 and 18 being parallel, but the baskets have been switched for years (according to previous reviews), so this is no accident. The photos of individual holes (posted here 10 years ago) show the fairways crossing, so this has been an issue for a LONG time. The distances listed on the map appear to match the actual layout and not the design on the maps.
-- Walking path brings non disc golfers into play. When I played on a Thursday afternoon in August, I saw a lot more walkers than disc golfers.
Other Thoughts:
-- The best feature here (creek) is underutilized. Other than No. 3, there is no real danger of reaching it.
-- This would be a better course as a 9-holer rather than 18. I would suggest using holes 10, 11, 3-8 and finish with 9 (according to the map, not the actual layout) to bring a few trees into play to guard that basket.
