Pros:
Telulah Park is a beautiful and maintained city park in downtown Appleton that features running trails, a skate park, baseball fields, soccer fields, and a disc golf course. There is a large parking lot by a small pavilion in the back side of the park. This is the closest lot to hole 1 on the course.
There is a practice basket near the course sign. Hole 1's tee pad is right next to the practice basket. Each hole features concrete pads which is a plus. It was pretty easy to determine which basket lined up with each hole once you got on the pad. Each hole featured a tee sign attached to a pole to help navigate directions to the target and distances in feet.
The course itself is relatively flat and straight-forward. It's easy enough to bring new players here and let them learn how to play the game. I saw a few families out here with little kids enjoying disc golf together... which was great! Some holes were wide open and straight out, others had some strategic trees lined up and in play. It was a good mix.
It looked like some new trees were planted aligning each hole tee pad to the basket. I imagine in a few years when those trees mature, it's going to completely change the look of this place and you're going to see many more players come out to this course.
Hole 1 was a little midrange hyzer shot. Hole 2 took you down more than 300 feet into a tree-protected green. Holes 3,4,5 were pretty much straight on shots in the 250-300 foot range. Holes 6 and 7 headed up towards the skate park. Hole 8 was a long, downhill shot to a basket perched in front of a wood-line (this was my favorite hole on the course). Hole 9 took you back towards hole 1.
The park had a decent amount of people in it when I played. Some were running, some playing ultimate, some skaters, and a few people doing some Spartan style training. Everyone played well with everyone else so it was a cool mix!
Pros:
- Concrete pads
- Easy layout to navigate (no map needed)
- Well maintained park
- Easy parking
- Targets in good condition
- Variety on hole lengths
- Benches
- Quick, easy round

Cons:
There isn't much here to challenge an intermediate to pro player. It's a pretty straight forward course. Rec players like me could benefit from using this course to try different shots and practice different wind angles.
Hole 9 kind of bothered me. First off, my first choice of shot was a huge sky hyzer off to the right side of the trees but this took me right over the playground (with little kiddies) and the parking lot. I didn't throw the shot but it definitely looked appealing. The course could probably use a mando here.
Also the practice basket looks like an obvious target from the tee pad of hole 9. I actually putted into it until I realized I went to the wrong spot lol.
There's probably enough room in this park for more holes if they ever chose to expand. There was a lot more room past hole 8 and maybe even down in the woods.

Other Thoughts:
Right now, this course is a great place to warm up and bring new players into the sport. In the next few years, once the trees start to mature in the hole 3,4,5 area, this place will become much more challenging.
If you're in the Appleton area and are looking for a place to get a quick round in, swing by and check it out. There's a cool locomotive by the entrance too!
