How About A Couple Of Bridges For Us Older Players? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 9, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Weichsel Park DGC is a decent little 9-hole featuring some challenging holes. The course, which borders the junior high school, is fairly hilly, has water hazards in both a small creek which runs through the park and a small pond/large puddle of standing water, and plenty of trees and some snarky underbrush. The starts with two fairly challenging holes which on both of them a tunnel shot is needed to clear the creek on # 1 and the lake/pond/standing water on # 2. The course has some decent distance to contend with but I think the water and underbrush and trees and wind are the major challenges here.

The course has two sets of tees, the longs are concrete and the shorts are natural marked with pink ribbons. I tried some of both. The excellent tee signs are located by the concrete long pads. If you can remember to closely observe, the tee signs have an arrow pointing to the next tee. Helps with navigating.

If there is standing water in mid-May, what would the course look like in winter?

Previous reviewers mentioned that getting across the creek presents problems. Let me tell, getting across the creek as a senior citizen is a little daunting. As I carefully made my way across the creek on hole 1, A crossing that I know you younger guys would bound across looking like a deer escaping a wolf pack. Myself, I looked like a old cautious man trying not to slip off those slippery rocks and get all wet or injure myself. Gees, I am old!

Missing tee sign on 7.

Other Thoughts:

This is a solid little 9 hole course. There were plenty of players there after work on a perfect May evening. I don't adding any more holes here. Concrete short pads with some signs would be nice. A couple three bridges over the creek would be my first choice for improvements. Maybe wide ass bridges with guard rails? Would life guards be asking too much? Wheelchair and walker approved?

nice layout 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 2, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-lots of obstacles to make some interesting holes: mature trees, a creek, and small elevation changes
-good layout that is easy to follow
-tee signs showing hole number, distance, basket location, and next tee
-new Patriot baskets
-a couple of interesting holes that make you shape a line, lots of low ceilings
-course map and practice basket right next to the parking lot

Cons:

-the park is small but it doesn't feel crowded
-holes 6-8 are fairly close together but shouldn't interfere much
-the park itself is a little dirty/sleazy but the course is helping to clean it up
-the gravel tees are pretty awful. there is space around them to use but some of the tee areas are on uneven ground. the tee on hole 4 has some broken up concrete and is totally unusable.
-no real creek crossings. there are stepping stones on hole 1, a place to go around on hole 5, but no good crossing on hole 8 (i found it best to walk past tee 9 to go around to the green for hole 8)

Other Thoughts:

Weichsel Park has a fun little layout. The course circles around the park. The first few holes play from slightly elevated teepads shooting down into the "bowl" of the park. On these holes you need to stay under the ceiling while throwing slightly downhill. They aren't exactly short holes so it's a challenge to stay under the ceiling but still get distance. Holes 3 and 4 both dogleg right and hole 5 is the open bomb across the field with the creek just before the green. The remaining holes make their way back to the parking area and make use of more low ceilings and creek side greens.

The course is easy to navigate and quickly played. It's a perfect place to kill some time while waiting for a flight to come in at Love Field. There is also a bunch of food options within a few blocks.

This is a great place to get in a quick round or get some putting or field practice. There are a variety of shots to practice and lines to shape so a beginner could learn a lot about throwing the disc here. The tees are pretty poor but fairly easy to avoid however they will get worse with time. Maybe concrete could be in the future if the course gains traction and a local group. Some better creek crossings would be a big help too.
