Fun for a Quick round! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Concrete teepads
-decently wooded (much more challenging in spring/summer)
-Each hole provides multiple lines, not forcing one type of shot
-fairly clean with quite a few trash cans
-dog friendly
-A great course to get friends into disc golf as it has plenty of aceable holes
-ego booster! beat my record of -9 on 12 holes :) plenty have...
-lots of trash cans

Cons:

--tends to be the local vagabond hangout and drinking spot. and by drinking I mean any sketchy act that may go down in a park...
-the occasional pile of human feces near pins (watch out for the big tree near the pin for #6)
-A bit easy for the big guns and putting champs
-many dogs not on leashes (i've been bitten TWICE by smaller dogs)
-drunk people (it's a dry park so please don't add to the problem)
-a bathroom that looks so shady that I haven't ventured into it in my year playing here.
-the mulchy terrain takes rollers out of the picture for the most part.
-run down baskets (not all, but many)
-the teepads are actually just specific parts of a walking loop, so you will inevitably find conflict of interest with other park goers.
-lots of fence climbing if you have a tough time keeping it inbounds. no gates.

Other Thoughts:

I used to play here all the time because it's such a fun little 12 hole that you can make more challenging by adding your own mandos etc. But I've been bitten by dogs, threatened to be jumped, had half a tall can thrown at me and many other strange unpleasant incidents. As of this review I find that it's not the safest park. I don't feel comfortable inviting my friends with their kids, and my wife won't come play there anymore. I really hope that Visalia PD along with the community can find a way to reclaim this park for responsible patrons! It's about as good of a course as can fit inside this small park. If you come to play Mooney's Grove (the other awesome courses in town) I would have to say that it is NOT worth your energy to stop by. If you are local and need to chuck some mids on your lunch break- this is the spot.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good use of elevation and water (when the pond has water in it...it currently does not). The course is a great place to practice. Not really very busy and the holes are pretty close together so you can practice each hole very quickly. Alternate (safari holes) fill out the final 8 holes to make this like an 18 hole course with 12 baskets. Very nice locals...they helped me figure the layout out and I got to help them learn to throw/putt better...very nice experience. Plenty of shade.

Cons:

Course is pretty short. No way to really throw any rollers as there is a ton of mulchy stuff in the pond bed that is now dry as a bone. People were sleeping in some of the fairways...I nearly hit one guy with a drive. I felt bad about that. Parking is kind of a mess as far as I could tell. I parked on the street on the southside of the park after not finding any obvious parking on Edison. You can park there and then walk through a gate into the park by the dog park and come in at hole 4. Confusing in a few places. I thought I was throwing 5 but was throwing on 6 or 7's pin. Because you can see baskets from different places that aren't the right ones but are just about straight ahead I was confused until I got help.

Other Thoughts:

Decent course and so close to Mooney it is hard not to swing up to this one for a quick round. I am not sure that I would drive up to play this one again as Mooney is a way better park. If I lived near this park I would be there a lot just practicing shots.
