Easy to walk
Nice tees and baskets
Every hole has a little challenge.
Requires shots curving in both directions
Great to take beginners as they won't get worn out and it's entertaining enough that they'll want to keep going
No chance of losing a disc

It's only 9 holes
Hole 9 ends up in the woods pretty far away from hole #1.
However, you can play the course in reverse to get back to #1 if it's not busy, that was fun.

This is a good beginner friendly practice course. Most of the holes are park style, with a few trees to navigate so to park every basket does require a little variety of shot. Every hole is about the same length, 150 feet or so. The holes do get progressively harder, but even though #9 is a tunnel shot in the woods, it's still only 180 feet or so. It is sort of odd that the routing doesn't bring you back to near the first tee, but there really isn't any room to do that. You play along a narrow corridor near the edge of the park and your last hole is in the woods. It's not exactly miles to get back to the first tee though.

Note: This review takes into account the additional 9 holes (Brown Course) that have been added to this layout.

Front 9 (Green Course):
- Great short approach and putt practice.
- Perfect introductory course for beginners.

Back 9 (Brown Course):
- Extremely technical and heavily wooded.
- Short hole distances make this great practice for shot shaping and recovery throws.
- Excellent use of a large hill incorporated into the layout. Lots of throws uphill and downhill.

Overall:
- There are no concrete or gravel tee pads. The tee-pads can get *very* muddy.
- Both layouts (9 holes or 18 holes) do not loop back on themselves. You will need to walk the entire length of the course back to your car.

Front 9 (Green Course):
- Decent use of trees and landscape to create variety, but many of the holes feel similar.

Back 9 (Brown Course):
- Kick boards on the back 9 can get obscured by leaves.
- Without signage, the layout can be very confusing. I highly recommend using the UDisc app for navigation.
- Course is not yet 'beat in'. Be prepared to walk up and down some inclines on somewhat treacherous footing.

I typically play this course as a warm-up before continuing to the main Parma DGC, and it is *perfect* in that regard. I would *not* consider this a 'main' course for any disc-golfing veterans. My review score takes that into account.

~Located close to the main course within the park.
~Beginner friendly w/ a nice fun factor.
~Glad to see Veteran's old baskets being reused.

~Out to out flow, long walk from 9 back to 1 or the main course.
~Toe boards can be hard to locate.
~It flows, but also feels forced.

I incorporated the Green Course while playing the main course during a wonderfully calm Autumn day. First and foremost, kudos to the Parma Club for re-purposing the old baskets, glad to see them here to make a truly beginner friendly layout. This entire course consists of short holes that tend to switch back across a section of park land located across the road from Hole 6 of the main layout. A fun putter & mid-range layout to the experienced player. Mature trees and minor elevation is scattered about the course so there is a fun factor involved for anyone who plays.

As a stand alone course, the novelty would quickly wear off for experienced players. The baskets are old, and some are beat up, but they still catch. My biggest gripe is the wooden toe boards which are hard to locate, some painted posts or anything with a bright color sticking out of the ground would help tremendously. The course could also use a small kiosk or panel sign near the parking lot by Hole 1 just to help the first time visitor get started. The only other major issue is that Hole 9 finishes at the furthest point from the start of the course so there is a decent walk back involved, especially if you incorporate it into the main layout.

All in all for what the club put here, I am pleased. Their purpose was a truly beginner friendly 9 holer, and that's what this is. Every hole is a birdie opportunity, and most can be ace runs for veteran players. It's basic, a little rough around the edges, and fun!

The Green Course is right across the road from the main Parma Course at Veteran's Memorial Park. It was designed and installed as a beginner friendly alternative for Parma disc golfers, and it does meet that goal.

+ All holes are under 200' with scattered trees in play on every hole. The green space where the course plays is wedged between a walking path, apartment complex, and a ball golf course.

+ Great introduction for beginners, it's very similar to Poolside in Medina with a little more elevation and a little less distance.

+ Tees are marked with distance and hole #. There's a concrete parking lot near the first hole.

+ Minor elevation and a densely wooded area comes into play on the back part of the course.

- Since all holes are under 200', it really isn't an enjoyable course for anyone but a pure beginner. Every hole is an ace run, and I picked one up on #5!

- Tees are natural and hard to spot. There's tape on the basket rims, but some are pointing to the wrong direction.

- There are some low hanging limbs that should be cut down.

- #1 plays a little close to the fence that separates the disc and ball golf courses.

- #9 ends on the opposite side of the parking lot and #1. Maybe there's plans to expand into that wooded area, but it's a long walk back for now.

The Green Course is great for pure beginners besides a few minor design issues. Great place to practice your approach shots and putts, but that's about all it's good for in terms of advanced players.
