Not Bad for a Gravel Pit 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 19, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

A+ to Spanish Fork city for the time and resources it took to make this course. 18 hole course, Amateur and Pro tee pads on about half the holes. Excellent signs and baskets.

Good use of the hills/mounds for lots of interesting elevation change shots. A few fun drives have you throwing at "quasi-island greens" on top of a tall mound.

A good mix of long and short holes, more long than short. You won't feel short-changed on the number of long drives you get to throw.

The weeds weren't bad when I played. I played by myself and was never really worried about losing a disc.

The wind wasn't bad for me either which I guess is rather unusual for this course.

Cons:

Lots of dirt, gravel, and weeds. The terrain can be rough on discs and shoes. I can see the wind being a factor most days.

I liked having multiple tees, but if you're playing the Pro tees be prepared for 500-600 foot Par 3's. This seems a bit of a stretch on a flat surface, even for pros.

The course is really straight. No real obstacles or mando's that force you to throw anything but your bread and butter shot.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I enjoyed playing Spanish Fork. Maybe I got lucky, but I went expecting the worst and it turned out to be not bad. I'm giving my review at least +1 star for the excellent pads, baskets, and signs.
Glad I wore long pants.

The Pit 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 31, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The city of Spanish Fork has really taken the time to set up a disc golf course with good signage and a unique setting for Utah disc golf.

The course finally has some pro length hole and seperate tee boxes and half of the holes. Allowing for a variety of players to play disc golf.

It models the signage other courses in Utah should use to mark their courses.

Down in an old gravel pit but has some elevation changes and dirt mounds as obsticles.

Brand new discraft chainstar baskets

Cons:

Some of the hole pars signs have interesting suggestions of par for that hole. Par 4 280s wide open?

The grass and weeds are already over grown and searching for discs can take some time on good throws.

If it is over grown wear long pants unless you want your legs to be cut and itchy. Long socks were fine for me but my playing patterns whined about it.

Gravel pit rocks can be rough on discs.

Other Thoughts:

Overall good course thy had a few groups playing on Monday afternoon. With a variety of skill levels present as well.

Down the road are some sweet winills and think the could add those as only obsticles are mountians of dirt and telephone power poles.

Right at mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon it can be pone to wind.

Playing this course will make you better as it allows distance and control in wind. Especially some long holes requiring two drives before a putt.

Bedrock 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 11, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course has Pro and Amateur concrete pads for the first 9 holes and just pro pads for holes#10 thru 18.Tee signs for the entire course giving distances and new Chainstar baskets that have arrows pointing to next tee where needed making this a pleasantly easy course to follow. Portable restrooms and a couple of trash cans are available near the parking area. The course layout is wide open with some slight elevation changes

Cons:

No trees or shrubs for obstacles just a couple of telephone poles or power line poles.
The wind will play a part in your game no matter what time of the day it is. Only two benches throughout the entire course, one at the kiosk and another at hole #9. Since there is no water or trees for shade staying cool could be hard in the summer

Other Thoughts:

At the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon and the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains Just a tenth of a mile off Hwy 6 across the RxR tracks is the gated entrance follow the dirt road to the end about two hundred yards. You will see a port-a-potty, a few trash cans and two yellow poles go between the poles and you have now entered the course. The course has beautiful scenery and even though it is bordering Hwy 6 the course grade is low enough to block most of those noises. Some may take the wind as a negative, I think it's a great opportunity to better yourself.

Spanish Fork Disc Golf Course - The Pit. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 19, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Advanced/Pro player course. 9 of the 18 holes with multiple tees. Not crowded. porta-potty now available.
Easy access, 100 yards off of hwy. 6 in Spanish Fork, Utah.

Cons:

Not a favorite for beginners. No trees.

Other Thoughts:

This course plays in an old gravel pit with rocky, gravelly terrain that is fairly flat. Some small elevation changes to mix it up a little but is basically a two-dimensional course catering to long-arm throws exposed to the wind at any time during the day. There are concrete tee pads, and it looks like an eagle scout project placed the tee signs right next to the tee pads, which some will say is a negative in their evaluation. The tee signs are very nice though. Basket 18 was installed in the wrong place (100 feet short), so the tee sign is off on distance. Wind blows from the east in the morning, shifting to the west in the afternoon and is a factor in your course management. This is not a beginner course in any way, shape or form, thus it is limited as to what it offers. The pit will make you a better player if you need to work on your long distance throws, or playing in windy conditions.
It will take you approximately 1.5 hours to play this course, no bathrooms at this point, and no water, you will need to wear some sturdy shoes as the terrain is rough. The Little Acorn drive-in is across the street so you can take a break and get back to the course quickly. Not a lot of usage on this course yet as it is brand new. There is still some maintenance going on here, a pavillion, a park overview map, and hopefully bathrooms will be added in the near future. This is a course in progress but the essential part of the course is in and playable. The short course plays approximately 6400 feet in length and the pro pads stretch it out to about 7300 feet.
