Fancy Park Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 22, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is in a fairly well laid out short course in a nice park on the east side of town. It is hilly with quite a few trees and both are well used to make this an enjoyable course. Has everything you expect in a well put together city park, Play area, picnic area, and nice bathrooms.
The tee pads are plenty long concrete, wish some courses I've played with longer holes had this good of pads!.
The pins all have solar powered lights for playing night rounds, I wish I was able to try this, I bet it would be a good course for that type of round.

Cons:

Not much for Cons on this one. The course is a little short but fits well in the park. Might be busy at certain times but I was there about 10 am on a Saturday and had no problems.
Weirdly, whoever set this course up put truely LUDICROUS pars on the signs.The 3 holes around 300' are listed as par 5s while the 447' downhill hole is a 6!(I almost drove the hole but it is well placed with a couple trees guarding it, no excuse for not getting a 3). Technically, I was 9 under for 9 holes, counted it as 2 over with all of them as par 3s which is what is listed here.

Other Thoughts:

This was a good warm up for playing across town @ Hells Gate and I'm glad I stopped here. Not a great course but I'ld definitely play it again when in the area.

Easy 9-hole course in manicured park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 8, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well manicured lawn
Difficult to lose a disc
Great course for newer players--while there are a few trees spread throughout the course, most holes are easy to navigate. Multiple birdie/ace baskets for more seasoned players
Concrete pads
Baskets have lights for night golf

Cons:

The course follows the perimeter of a park, so you have to watch for people on the fairway. Watch where you walk as you might step in dog poo.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good course for speed rounds or introducing someone to the game. The designer made great use of the space. It's worth playing if you're in the area, but I wouldn't recommend driving a long distance to play here.

Grassy Knoll 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

A nice course that makes good use of a large grassy hillside to add elevation to otherwise simple holes.

This is a typical city park course with lush mowed grass and widely spaced mature trees. No brush, undergrowth, or even low hanging branches. Compared to the Hells Gate Park course the cool grass and shade are welcome.

Good variety of hole lengths from 178 to 439 feet, with the longer holes generally being downhill so still reachable.

Very nice concrete teepads and Innova baskets with solar powered LED lights for night play. Tee signs are basic with hole number, par, and distance but no map. They do include a prominent "Sponsored By" logo at the bottom of the sign which is a great way to acknowledge local businesses that are supporting disc golf.

Large course map with rules is mounted near Hole 1.

Cons:

Holes 3, 5, 6, and 7 play somewhat near a residential area. Poor shots could potentially land near those homes so be careful.

I noted several picnic tables in the fairways of holes, so there could be some interference with other park users.

Many of these holes are relatively simple shots across lawn with a tree or two in play. Not a particularly challenging hole in the bunch.

Other Thoughts:

Large parking lot with restrooms and water available near Hole 1. This multi-use park includes ball fields, tennis courts and a playground, but only Hole 9 plays near those areas. Might be busy on weekends?

Short and easy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 21, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained, solar powered lights on the baskets, concrete pads, good signage. Great course to learn on. For 9 more holes, Hells Gate Park is only a few miles away.

Cons:

Shared area so other people can be an issue. Only 9 holes because that's all the room they had to work with.

Lovely, Hilly, Grassy 9 Hole Pitch & Putt! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 27, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a lovely little park in which to build a course. Sunset's green grass and hilly, wooded terrain makes for a great course setting. It's just a shame that the course designer(s) didn't have about ten times as much park area to work with. With the limited amount of room that they had to work with here, I think they designed a wonderful little course. For us REC and those beginning players, there's a 439' downhill shot through the trees. It's long enough for us. I loved the ACE runs on #5, 6, 8 and 9. Only # 8 is straight forward and simple. The others all have a certain degreee of difficulty.

Because the course is new, everything here is in pristine condition. The baskets are Innova while the signs are in great shape with no grafitti. The pads are concrete and great for this course. There are benches and garbage cans scattered about. The park has a softball/baseball field, a restroom facility, tennis courts, picnic shelter and a playground. The course starts and finishes near the restrooms. This course seems to be the only course for miles around.

Cons:

It only has 9 holes and it's basically a pitch and putt.

It's about 400 miles from where I live.

Other Thoughts:

If I were rating this course only for myself, I'd give it a "5". It's about the perfect course for beginners or those who don't take themselves real seriously or disc golf dates or Senior rec players or most grandmothers. I happen to fall into one of these fore-mentioned catergories. And I'm not a grandmother!

I've inserted Sunset into my Favorites List. Great job designer(s)! Sweet little course here! Seeing that it's only 9 holes and because of it's limited length and degree of difficulty, I'll reframe from giving it the "5" that I wish to bestow upon it and I'll try to maintain my reputation as a repected reviewer and give it a more predestrian like rating of a "3".
