Fun and Short 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 31, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy course for anyone learning the game of disc golf. While Centennial Park DGC in Kearney, NE would be a better course to learn the game on this would be a good course to practice distance throws because of the length of 1 of the holes.

You can play this one in a short amount of time and not feel drained from major elevation changes that some of the more challenging courses might have.

There is nothing like throwing the length of a football field to find out how good your drive is really going and you get that chance on hole number 8.

Cons:

The tee for hole number 8 was damaged by the kids. While the post is still in the area it is not clear were the tee is really supposed to be at.

This course also would only be available during non school hours.

Other Thoughts:

I would recommend this as a stop for anyone already in the area but it certainly isn't worth a drive for this alone. This course really is another great course for learning the game of disc golf. I would recommend avoiding the use of any of DX plastic discs on holes 5 and 6 if are worried about them getting banged up because one missed throw or a bad wind gust might send your disc riding across the track which will soon turn your stable to over stable driver into a under stable roller in a hurry.

TOUCHDOWN! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 2, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

OK, so this is the real rub for me on this course. They put this course in for part of the PE class. So they are teaching kids to play disc golf...WAY COOL! I am just going to say this. The pin on number 6 is in the end zone of the football field. SO the fun factor is high, because of one of the most unique locations for a pin...ever! I mean it was hilarious throwing out on to the field and putting straight through the goal posts to the pin. AND YES, I did yell, "Touchdown!" ;o) Anyway, the variety of hole lengths was really good for this course also and there is almost no way you will lose a disc, unless you throw it on the roof of the school. No, I didn't do that, but it did occur to me. :eek:D

Cons:

No bathrooms, message boards, signs, or anything extra, except I may have actually seen one trashcan. There were posts for the tees and some had numbers on them. I hate that part of the holes play over the running track; this will cause major disc damage. There is no way to play here if there are any activities going on obviously. There are no real obstacles on any of the holes and nothing technical.

Other Thoughts:

Here is the dilemma on rating this course. Do you rate low because the course itself is just plain lame and often not accessible. OR, do you rate it a little higher for the fact kids are getting to try the game out and you get play #6. There is no real answer here. All I can say is, "TOUCHDOWN!"
