Reviewed: Played on:Aug 31, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very fast easy course. A few obstacles to throw around. Easy aces and birdies. Nice baskets.

Cons:

Small tee boxes. poor signs, even with signs still confusing on what is 1 .

Other Thoughts:

good course for kids and weak arms, or to bag a bunch of aces.

Signs and better tees. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 24, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

-The tree area was an alright challenge but three of the holes were very open field shots with not a lot of distance
-You could probably pick up a few aces
-Nice baskets
-Not a lot of people here

Cons:

-Tees are only 2x2ish concrete squares, half of which were under silt from flooding when I played and that was well after flood season.
-Tees and baskets are too close to each other and to other park functions creating safety hazards.
-Could lose a disc in the river with a very errant shot
-Flooding does occur in the spring
-No signage at all which makes it hard to follow.
-Not too much length
-Unclear where the course started or where to park
-No trash cans nearby as well as bathrooms.

Other Thoughts:

I really like signage and not having to search my way around a course. This course was very hard to navigate and that makes for a more stressful round than I would like. It was also long after flood season and the already pitiful tees were buried under dried up silt.

2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- An effective use of trees and a small amount of land. Used pretty-much every tree they could to add interest and challenge.
- Good DISCatcher baskets

Cons:

- Tees are ridiculously close to the previous hole's baskets (within 8-10 feet), and are about 2'x2' concrete squares.
- Baskets are very close to other park uses, creating some potential issues (safety and play, in-general)

Other Thoughts:

It was a holiday weekend, but campers/trucks were parked literally feet from the Hole 2 basket and Hole 3 tee...making the course unplayable in those locations. I'm told that having that many park users is a rarity! That said, that was a big disappointment to see, playing the course for the first time.

Short 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice baskets, short, but some trees in a few spots means it isn't all simple ace runs.

Cons:

Tiny teepads, literally 2ft squares of concrete right next to the baskets. Short, nothing over about 225 tops.

Other Thoughts:

This course reminds me a lot of Wabun Picnic Area in Minneapolis, just a short little pitch and putt, if it is the only place to play it is fine, but it really isn't great.

Beginner 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 27, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good Course for someone to begin on.
Well maintained. Lots of chances to get hole in one

Cons:

Short. Having to deal with cars and RVs parked on or near the holes. Tee boxes lil to close to baskets.

Other Thoughts:

Fun course. For a beginner this would be a great course to play on.

Confused 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

* Nice challenge of open field; holes 1, 2 and 9
* Playing through the trees that are there adds strategy

Cons:

* No maps or any info available
* Had to guess where the next hole was
* Tee Box for pin 1 is hard to find

Other Thoughts:

Tee Box for hole one is where the basket for hole 9 is. Once I played through the first time I went and played another 9 and once I knew where everything was I enjoyed it more
