Not a disc golf "course" 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 11, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is baskets for a disc golf course and someone mowed portions of the fairways. The trail you can follow near the course goes around a reservoir and it is nice. The "course" is partially playable if you use the GPS function in the UDisc app. The first hole is nice because its in an open area of the park.

Cons:

I can't really describe this as a disc golf course because there aren't any teepads, signs, markers, etc. You're essentially just following a mowed section of the thick vegetation and, sometimes, there's a basket at the end. The vegetation gets thicker the further you go along - I wish I would've had a machete to carve a path through it. The vegetation is a disc eater. I almost lost my disc a few times even though I was just taking short mid-range shots so I could watch where my disc landed.

Other Thoughts:

I am from the Colorado rockies so I was excited to play this wooded course, but I was quickly disappointed when I encountered the 3 foot deep vegetation on hole #2. The other reviewer is correct; this course is unplayable without the UDisc app and I'm soooo glad I read their review before attempting to play it. I had trouble finding some of the baskets even while using the app.
Its strange that the designer took this route for the course as other portions of the park have wide open greenbelts that would've made for a very nice course layout. I think they should put 9 baskets in these open areas and make the current course the back 9 for "extreme disc golfers."
