Redesign is a Vast Improvement 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 16, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice large well-maintained park

Good variety of distances

Excellent concrete tees

Nice tee signs with marker to denote pin position

Good use of the limited number of trees

Water in play on several holes

Practice basket

Multiple pin placements, majority of holes have 4

Cons:

Only a small amount of elevation change in play

Fairly open course

Wind can be a big factor

Park can be busy with non disc golfers

Other Thoughts:

The redesign is a big improvement over the original course, more challenge involved and the course flows much better

I wish I would have had a chance to play more of the available pin placements, some of them looked fun and challenging

One of the best courses in Wyoming of the ones I have played

A popular park in an isolated twon 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 19, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

- A full 18 hole course in a well kept park
- Great tee pads
- Detailed course map with all potential pins listed
- Informative tee signs with pin marker
- Pond and creek in play on many holes
- Practice basket at 1st tee
- Good use of space available
- Mowed fairways
- Multiple pins on each hole

Cons:

- Popular parks tend to be busy
- No numbers on baskets can be confusing at times
- Laramie is known to be windy...all..the..time!
- Much of the park has no shade
- Some holes may not be playable depending on park visitors
- Jumping across the creek can be sketchy in some places

Other Thoughts:

- Spring Creek is a full 18 hole course in a very large city park. It plays around the perimeter of the park, but brings the pond and creek that runs through the center into play on several holes. Half the park is dry grass but well kept, and half is in the nicer grassy areas.

- Many shots will bring the creek into play as you will be required to throw over, as well as along the length of the creek. A few others will have you throwing to a basket that is at the creeks edge forcing you to heed your distance. The creek was low, but it looks like it could run much higher at times. Many of the creek shots were my favorites.

- We started a bit before noon and the park was mostly empty. This changed quickly though as the park started to fill halfway through our round. Playing early is probably a good strategy.

- The tee signs are above average for most city parks I've played. All of the pin placement markers were accurate the day we played.

- My golf partner on this trip attended college here, and always spoke about how windy this area is. The wind didn't dissapoint on this trip either, and it remained quite breezy throughout our round with some strong gusts thrown in for good measure. I don't mind playing in the wind, but this can be a con for some players.

- Navigation 'shouldn't' be an issue, but we did get mixed up on one tee and had to come back after figuring out our route. One gripe I had was no numbers on the baskets. This would really help in finding your way around.

- This DGC has a town that cares about the maintenance. The fairways were mowed with well defined roughs, the baskets are in new condition and the tee pads are great. Disc loss should not be an issue here either since the rest of the park is also well kept. Nice job Laramie!

- Laramie is a pretty isolated town making this course a tough bag unless you're in the area. However I would be very happy to call this my home course. Wind can be a factor, as well as the popularity of the park and numbers on the baskets should be the next upgrade, but overall this is a fun round. If you are in Laramie, this is a must bag but a long drive for just about everyone else.

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

- good quality baskets
- large concrete tee pads
- Great new tee signs that gives you all the info you need
- for the most part the course is easy to navigate
- good range of shot distances ranging from 200 to 500 foot shots
- good variety of shots required to hit the lines needed to birdie
- quite a few real fun risk/reward shots that really make you think about your shot
- a very beautiful park to walk through

Cons:

- there are no numbers on the baskets and a few of the baskets are close together making it very hard to know exactly which basket is which
- this seems to be a very popular park, especially around the pond, where multiple baskets sit. I had to lay up on a couple holes and skipped another where a woman was doing yoga in the middle of the fairway.
- the course is pretty much flat other than the ditches
- a few holes feel sort of crammed into a small space, this is mainly do to a fairly busy street and lots of pedestrians

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this course, I wish I got to play it when the park was empty. Putting numbers on the baskets would help the navigation quite a bit.

Fun course, nice design 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 8, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Mix of shots: open field, trees, ditches, creeks and bridges
Alt pins at every pad. Could be very useful and prevent course from getting boring
Nice park and well maintained

Cons:

No signs pointing to next tee. Made it hard to find a couple holes and ended up shooting at wrong basket twice
Surprisingly busy park. Watch for people and dogs

Other Thoughts:

Really fun course. Actually had some ace runs but some holes are for big arms like myself

Fun, well laid out course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 24, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice tee pads, mowed fairways, good mix of challenges including ponds, ditches and trees, the layout flows really nicely.

Cons:

The signage was inconsistent, some tees had info, but most did not. A posted course map would be nice instead of having to search online.

Other Thoughts:

Located in a beautiful city park. Keep a lookout for people walking their dogs.
