(1.870 Rating) A lightly wooded short park style nine with lake views.
- BASIC AMENITIES - Every course needs baskets, tees and tee markers right? Well Excalibur has done these aspects well enough. Newer MachIII baskets with the nice easy-to-read placards on top. The tees are rubber, somewhat level and of decent size. There are also numbered posts with bag hangers affixed to them. No other amenities or extras beyond the noted, but these three items is what it takes to make a course.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - The gameplay represented here is most ideal for MA4s with blend over appeal to MA3s and beginners. The odds of losing a disc is near zero for sober individuals. Searching for discs in wicked overgrowth is not a present aspect unless the park stopped mowing. Beginners will be challenged to improve without crushing their spirit.
- QUICK PLAY - I was in and out in 25 minutes counting a 3 minute conversation with a very nice local player.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Average-ish or perhaps a bit above. There are some big Douglas Firs and Western Cedars in this park, but a lot of Pacific Northwest courses can say that. There's also a view of the lake at times, but it never comes into play except on epic bad misfires. It's a pleasant nice park and all, not epic enough to move out of the middle of the pack for beauty on my ledger.

Summer festivals likely claim hole (1) and (2).
- MULTI USE HAZARDS - Ignoring the summer season festival issues, there are year round issues with walking paths and park access roads. I nearly hit a car that turned into the park quickly while my disc was in flight on hole (6). Not a complete deal breaker, but far less than ideal.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - I was bored throwing this one as I found the holes to be far too simplistic for my MA2 skills. All lightly wooded par 3s that I could likely all birdie after 3 or 4 rounds. There is no danger factor and my adrenaline just didn't pump after any of the tee shots here. Higher skilled players showing up here will feel like they are just going through the motions.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - The navigation is ok. I didn't see a course map, but the tee posts were generally easy to spot hole to hole and they were numbered. The tee signage unfortunately is what I just described, a numbered post. Distances are not even indicated.
- NO EXTRAS - One tee and one basket per hole, that's it for course equipment related items. There is another section of the park, that likely has a shelter and picnic tables, but I didn't check.
- HOLE VARIETY - Its only 9 holes and there's enough de-ja vu in them that I could not recall them all from memory and had to go thru my pics to write part of this review. Very little distance variation, mild elevation change and no heavy woods.

The silver medal goes to (drum roll), not Lake Excalibur. Actually, on my ledger I have it at 429th out of 612 courses. Ouch. This course would normally be a high 2.0 in my rankings, but the flaws of navigation and property hazards are substantial enough to shave off well more than a tenth of a point. From reading through the past reviews, I don't think anything has been upgraded since install. Thus it has slowly decayed over the years from both general aging and vandalism. A decent course for locals to play if they don't have to drive far. Those that need to travel 30 minutes to get here will have surely passed a better option on the way. It reminded me of a hillier versions of courses like Vance Park in Portland, Portland Park near Chattanooga, and Azalea Park in St. Petersburg FL. All of which I also scored a 2.0. No reason for those outside the area to venture here unless they are a course bagger like me.
- SUMMER FESTIVAL - As noted in my review, summertime festival activities apparently claim two holes routinely, or at least that's what a local told me. I didn't take off points for the temporary condition. The local also noted that there has been discussion of a partial re-design or even a complete pull of the course.

I agree with everything that people have said here about the pros of the course. I considered my home course for the better part of a year.

Like the title says, one of my major reasons for playing disc golf is to relieve stress from dealing with people who seem to find great delight in making everyone around them uptight and a little crazy. This course no longer does it for me.
First of all Last year they maintained the fairways, This year no. Now that the grass is dead from the heat its not a big deal but it caused me no little irritation early on.
Second This is called a multi-use park. Some people think that means the you can lounge around in fairways playing kissy face even when nicely asked to move and even when told the dangers of being there. All you get is the "I'm so stupid" blank stare that drives me crazy in the first place. Then there are the people who say no problem if I see it coming I'll catch it or even worse the ones who run up and do catch it and hand it back to you thinking you will pat them on the head like a good dog that has fetched.
Third the little vandals that come out in summertime bent on destruction because they are bored. I saw some beating on a basket the other day and told them to stop without thinking. Suddenly I realized I'm just a 62 year old fat man and that those three young hoodlums could probably trash me in a skinny minute.
I've watched them kicking over full garbage cans and at the beginning of this year one of the tee signs was kicked over. It hasn't been replaced.
Fourth Dogs. It is clearly marked NO PETS at every entrance and yet I am constantly freaking out when some dog thinks I'm throwing a frisbee for it to chase.
Fifth Day camp workers who think that Multi-use means their little charges should take up residence on fairway 5 and to hell with anyone who wants to play disc golf. Okay I could get it IF there weren't wide open FLAT areas in the shade in at least two locations that the little darlings could do day camp in that doesn't disrupt someone elses enjoyment of the park. When I asked them why there the day camp worker just blinked stupidly and said "Its a multi-use park sir".
Sixth The fisherman who catch fish then throw them up on the fairways to rot. There was 16 inch trout just laying up on fairway 8 rotting in the sun the other day. That in itself is criminal. If you weren't going to eat it throw it back in.
Seventh Today Tweekville (Everett) had some kind of hoodlum break into the park in the closed hours and drove around all over the place tearing stuff up before driving into the lake. The police, who in all fairness were only doing their job pretty much had the fairway blocked off. They were courteous and all but still it seems to be just one more straw and the final straw the just made this fine course so odious to me that I doubt I'll be back.
Nobody wants to see anyone get hurt especially by your own discs. I don't mind the walkers at least they are moving and using the paths for the purpose they are there. But the other activity just makes this place to pain to play

Because of the reasons above I rate this course 2 starts (I actually like the course) but unplayable
