Trees 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 17, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is relatively flat but has a lot of variation and some decent distances.
Concrete T's
Easy parking and restroom facilities.

Cons:

Some of the markings have been broken (vandalized?)
Lots of trees.

Other Thoughts:

Though there are some wide open shots, Trees are the characterization of this course. A relatively flat course it is heavily wooded with pine. Often the T is lined up with a row of pines with the basket at the end of the row. You Choose to play left or right of the row

Shaded and a challenge. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 30, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A challenging course with lots of trees. Tees are well marked, baskets as well. The park is well maintained and has restrooms and a nice playground for the kids.

Cons:

I think that the biggest con is that, for whatever reason, this course has some of the rudest people. The amount of cussing and unsportsman-like conduct is rather annoying. I believe we have only been once or twice that this did not occur. We have left early before as a result.
The terrain is mostly level, with some interesting angles at basket...number 7, I believe. Very nice course.

Fun City Park, Big Trees 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 8, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice tee pads, two on all but one hole I believe. With the trees, the pads offered different looks at a hole. You could play 18 different holes essentially.
-Nice baskets
-Nice big trees make you throw certain lines. Many curve right, left, you could throw an overhand or two.
-Adequate parking along with a lot of other amenities in the park. This is the city park here. It felt safe and was very clean.
-Good hole variation. Some were reasonably long but nothing too long or short. A well placed shot could net you an ace but there wasn't any 100 ft straight shots.
-This course would be fun for anybody. Beginners might hit a few more trees but it would be good for their game to play this course and learn control.
-Tee signs had distance and hole # on them at least (see below)
-The flow was good. Had no trouble finding my way around on my first time at the course

Cons:

-The tee signs were of the variety that was made with stickers that indicated trees, ob, tee, pin, etc and many of the elements on a hole were peeled off. Some of the signs were relatively useless. Especially on the occaision that the basket was hiding behind a tree.
-No elevation change. That could really spice up the variety. They used the land well, this was no fault of the designers.
-I could see this park being quite busy with both disc golfers and non disc golfers.. It has a lot of fun stuff crammed into one city park.

Other Thoughts:

I had a lot of fun here and wish that I had enough time to play a few times. I would have played the short tees my second time around. I did stop at each of the shorts and looked at the line and it was often quite different than the longs. It was a well cared for park. Like other reviewers, I was hoping for a back 9 or something. It was fun but over too fast. If you are cruisin I-80 I would recommend a stop here. It's a fun city park course.
