Fun when not wet 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Ace runs here!
-Nice baskets
-Decent signage, simple but gets the job done at this city park
-Tees are concrete and very functional for this course
-A few interesting holes, One between two lines of trees, one over some shorter bushy trees, some more open bomber holes. A few holes you need to shape a line but others you have many choices. There is a good variety in distance here. Like I said, many holes can be aced but hole 3 is way out there from the tee. It is open so you have your option on how to get there.
-Good for beginners or just getting a quick round in.
-Other than the water, this park is nicely mowed, maintained and picked up. No garbage here.

Cons:

-Other than the few interesting holes the other are flat and not too challenging.
-This course is right next to a river and floods often. It may be unplayable for part of the spring. When not flooded, silt is left on the tees and grass.
-This course could be dangerous if there were other disc golfers or park users around. The park area is not very large. Luckily, the waterslide just down the street was drawing a lot of the local kids.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good use of a floodplain type city park. There are a few interesting holes interspersed with a few average ones. If you are in the area, you might as well play here because it won't take long but don't go out of your way for this one.
