Wish I could love it 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 20, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Some interesting, well designed holes
Mixes in a few good "woods" holes once you get to the back half of the course
Great signage

Cons:

STICKERS!!!!!!
TONS of walkers/joggers
Some benches/picnic seating areas/playgrounds in throwing lanes
Shared baskets

Other Thoughts:

Judged solely on the merits of the holes themselves I really enjoyed this course. Sadly, there are some massive downsides you have to deal with at this course. First, let's talk STICKERS! We played in the winter when 99% of the sticker plants were dead and we still got tormented by stickers. They are unavoidable and surely make this course a nightmare in the spring/summer. Then there's all the traffic at this course. I don't mind waiting for a jogger or a dogwalker to go by before throwing, but it becomes a real issue when people are sitting on a bench that is just a few feet outside of the throwing zone. There's also one hole that has you throwing dangerously close to a playground. Then there are the shared baskets. I don't know what the etiquette is here but teeing off and approaching your disc only to find people teeing from the other side to the same basket is a total mess.

I wanted to love this course, but the drawbacks are just too great.

Springtown Disc Golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 9, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course has a large map at the front of the parking lot that is shared with a Wells Fargo. Good teesigns that have an arrow pointing towards the next hole. Good Discatcher baskets as well. Teepads were in great shape but a little short. There are a good mix of shots between open and long and some technical shots. I had to use my RHFH quite a bit this course which I appreciated.

Cons:

Some of the teesigns weren't accurate including hole 5. The teesign shows the hole tucked behind the horseshoe playing area but it is about 50 feet to the right. Hole 12's teepad is facing a different direction than 12's basket playing back over the creek. However, the course map shows a different location for 12's teepad so maybe someone accidentally mislabelled it.

My biggest issues isn't the courses fault but there were huge fireants everywhere. Everytime I picked up my disc that were 10-15 ants on them I had to blow off. Same thing with my bag. Also, there were massive stickers everywhere covering my socks and shoes.

Other Thoughts:

The course is broken up into sections.
First hole and second tee pad are close to the parking lot. 2nd basket is over the bridge. You then make a long trek heading towards 7 which you throw over the creek. 8-11 are on the other side of the creek then you shoot 12 back over the creek to start heading back towards the parking lot. The 18th basket is the same basket as hole one.

As a note: the majority of holes you will shoot at twice from different teepads with the exception of hole 15. This basket isn't used on the front 9 but is a short RHFH holes tucked into the tree line.

Overall this is a fun course and gives locals somewhere close to play. I think the course would play much better in the Fall when it isn't so hot since a portion of the course doesn't covered by trees and the bugs/ stickers would be gone.

I'll come back and play it during those months.
