Nice course with pretty short but (for me) challenging par 3s. Not so many trees that you have to thread it for 200 feet but enough that you have to be able to miss them, or at least get lucky.

No real cons except that directions from one basket to the next tee would be nice. I took a couple of walks to tees that weren't where I needed to go! The hole maps can be slightly misleading at times. The map on 3 looked like a dogleg right but when I got to the basket I was shooting at 11! Hole 3 is actually pretty much straightaway.

Technical enough to challenge but you don't need a huge arm to score well.

Spilman Park is easily one of the most enjoyable disc golf courses I've ever played - and I've played courses all around the country. First, the park itself is lovely. It features rolling terrain and a mixture of open space, thick woods, and lightly wooded areas. It's a lightly used park overall so mimimal non-dg traffic. The perfect setting for a course!

The course offers a really fun mix of holes. Lots of well-protected shorter holes with a couple true Par 4's thrown in to keep things interesting. Great Prodigy baskets feature new flags for visibility and wind info. Brand new tee pads with turf-covered platforms eliminated one of the only real concerns about the course.

When the course was first installed, I was a little concerned about the last five holes. After playing a fantastic mix of holes that flow almost perfectly for the first 13 holes, you finish the course with five shorties packed into a pretty small amount of space. All can be birdied, but none are truly "gimmies" - at least not for the average player. Now, I enjoy them for what they are - a fun chance to make up for some earlier struggles!

I think the logical next step for a course that is as enjoyable as this is to introduce a little variety. Multiple pin positions would be easy on most, if not all, of the holes. It would be great to show up and be surprised to find pins in different locations - not necessarily to make the holes more difficult but to simply change the shape of shots required. The good news is that the local parks department is invested in the course and there's a growing population of regular players who can make it happen. Come check out Spilman Park!

A delight to play with a perfect mix of open and wooded.
Two longer holes and many interesting shorter holes.
There are several technical holes, several wide open holes, up hill, down hill.
The times I've been there it has been very well maintained.
The course was updated recently and new turf covered tee boxes installed throughout.
Good atmosphere. There are nearby houses which keep it from being overly isolated yet none of the homes in anyway present a safety issue with the course.

There are a couple spots where different holes can clash but primarily only with an errant throw.
The worst spot may be walking from the 13 basket to the 14 tee as you are backtracking to an extent across part of the previous fairway.
The layout can confuse a bit on a few holes the first time through but on subsequent outings its easy to remember the way.
The Prodigy baskets are not my favorite but that's a minor quibble.

I live an hour away but plan to play this course at least monthly. It's that fun.
