Bring a Putter for 12 minutes of Fun

Other Thoughts:

A very short 6 in a small neighborhood pocket park. The park is shaded by lots of old growth trees, and somebody calling himself Daddy Disc Golf designed a six hole layout in 2017


This is a place to introduce newbies, send kids to play, or to work on upshots. They've squeezed it in and around other facilities: #1 and #2 around the tennis court, #3 and #4 around the dog park. There's nothing wrong with it so long as there aren't other park users wandering around


Five of the six holes are in the 100' - 150' range. Everything is straight, and you're just throwing around and between trees


Hole #5 plays along the backside of the park: almost 300' with scattered trees, and a slope down to the road along the right side. This one felt like a real hole that you'd find in larger parks


Short little signs (fiberglass DGA with the stickers) - they're literally below waist level. A couple of signs are missing. The MVP baskets are at normal heights though


Somebody had the vision and energy to add disc golf to a small park. Maybe it serves kids living in the neighborhood or residents who want to toss a putter after work. I stopped on my way through the area with a newbie, and the place was perfect for introducing someone to the game in a setting that isn't just an open field. So thank you, Daddy Disc Golf.


For the rest of us, this is a bagging stop that takes more time to drive to than play. It might even take longer to read the DGCR reviews than to play it.

Pros:

Victory Street is a 6-hole course that has no major issues with what is there. It's located in a small park that includes some other recreational structures--a very communal, neighborhood feel. Tee signs vaguely suggest natural tees, but the six baskets are nice Prodigies. The holes present decent variety for all being under 200' (with one exception). The exact line you choose will be flexible, but a few mature hardwoods somewhat restrict shot shape. There's no doubt that the all-star hole is (5), a 300' tunnel shot with OB road on the right. It's the only hard hole on the course.

The flow is good and the course is "friendly", i.e. easy to play, well-kept, and hard to lose discs on. It's the perfect introduction to disc golf, and a good place to go ace-hunting (I personally dunked (4)).

Cons:

Most obviously, the course is 6 holes and under 1500'. Super short. I knocked this one out in about 15 minutes, and that was a very leisurely pace. There's just very little to interest an experienced player.

The small nature of the overall park could be an issue, too. Street parking is all that's available if that makes you uneasy. Also, on a nice day I could see it being pretty busy and the fairways obstructed by picnickers, small children, and such.

Other Thoughts:

Victory Street is so small that there's nothing much to write. I think the adjective that best describes it is "Passable", as it is a perfectly executed 6-hole course designed to nothing more than a fun fling. If you're looking to bag a course super quickly, it's an ideal candidate, but otherwise I don't know why anyone would travel far to play it.
