Much Improved 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 15, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It is a fun course that has both longer, open holes and medium length, more technical holes.

Cons:

Not real fond of playing around traffic and having to wait for cars on several holes where roads and parking lot come into play. (The asphalt OB's kill my score)

Other Thoughts:

When I was told there was going to be a DGC place on this land, I pictured a very easy, short course. When 13/14 baskets were laid out, it was a long course but took advantage of all terrain and wrapped around the baseball fiels including use of additional terrain. Now the course has 18 baskets and the designer did an outstanding job of utilizing all aspects of the terrain which necessitates including the woods, baseball fields, watermarks, roads, island land in a parking lot in the area to make for a more technical and challenging course than imaged. Overall, this is a top 2 course for the 6 DGC's that I have played.

Sports Life DGC... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 11, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is very well maintained, almost no trash. Mostly open, but has some nice slightly wooded holes. Awesome signs and baskets. The signs look like they're made by houck design, but I'm not sure. Baskets are made by Disc Golf Monkey (called monkey traps) and catch very well. Good variety in hole distances (219-525). Good variety in hyzer/straight/anhyzer holes. Very creative O.B., but sometimes feels a little gimmicky.

Cons:

No trash cans or benches. Tee pads are grass, but have a wooden plank to mark the front of them. Hole 8 has some weird rock tee pad right now that is horrible, so I just teed off to the right of it. 3 holes play right next to a busy road.

Other Thoughts:

It was very windy when I played here. Other reviewers have complained about the distance and baseball fields. I thought the baseball fields made it better, but I guess other people don't like it. I don't know if the park has been redesigned or not, but I thought the distances were fair. Threw a disc into the road, and a car almost ran over it.

Much Improved Course!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 10, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Best baskets I've ever played. I don't know who made them, but they are phenomenal.
-18 hole course with a nice mix of technical and long shots.
-Nicely manicured, nice tee posts.

Cons:

-Pretty wide open. I would prefer more trees..
-Seems like the wind is always blowing 30 mph on this course. Bring your wind game!

Other Thoughts:

The original 13 holes have been made into a nice 18 hole course. I'm not a long thrower and I scored 3 under when I played. There are some great shots that appear easy but make you pay dearly for an unplanned anny. I love this course and plan to play it every chance i get.
