Best Course in Smithfield! 2+ years

Pros:
Restroom.
5 concrete tees remaining, 4 are usable.
Tee signs still exist on holes 1, 3 & 9.
Still 6 decent baskets.
1, 4, 5 & 9 are decent, albeit simple, holes if no one else is using those areas.

Cons:
Hole 1's tee is close to the parking lot, the basket is close to a picnic table.
Hole 2 has been removed entirely for a playground.
Hole 3 has no fairway for the last half of the hole.
Hole 6 is gone.
Hole 7 tee is gone, fairway is overgrown, basket is mangled and on the ground, pole & chain assembly still exist.
Hole 8's tee pad is overgrown, the basket is not reachable from the tee unless you throw 90 degrees from the intended line.
Hole 9's concrete tee pad is gone.

Other Thoughts:
There is now essentially a 6 hole course and 2 of those are really not good holes. The rest of the park is beautiful, a really nice playground & sports fields.

Pros:
Not much but I have to say...
-Concrete tees
-Good baskets that are marked (except for #7)
-Easy to find

Cons:
(deep breathe)...
-Very muddy after a steady rain
-Safety issues (chances of hitting people)
-Many of the holes have no signage (Only holes 1,2,3,and 9 have signs).
-Location of holes
-Hole 1 hugs a parking lot so there is a chance of hitting a vehicle with an errant throw
-Hole 3 is next to a fenced in soccer field. I tried to throw a hyzer over the field due to the trees but landed in the field. All the gates were padlocked so I had to scale the fence to get my disc.
-Hole 6 is missing (no basket)
-Hole 7 is a nightmare. There is a very small area to throw in. This area has woods on one side and a drainage with water that looks and smells questionable. The basket was badly damaged (looks like someone tagged it with a vehicle).
-Hole 8 is a mystery. No clear shot to the basket (no way over the trees or around them)

Other Thoughts:
This is a terrible course but a part of me liked the challenge and boy was it a challenge. The park includes nice ball fields, basketball courts, and an aquatics center that contains a pool, workout equipment, indoor basketball courts, and racquetball courts. I am surprised with these nice amenities that the disc golf course isn't as nice.
