Pros:
West Park in Guersney, Wyoming is a very narrow park that stretches along the river for quite a ways. At the end nearest the bridge, it's probably only 15 yards wide. I would think the area where the course plays is about 25-30 yards wide. The Park is bordered by the North Platte River on one side and a city street on the other side. There is very thick vegetation on the river side and although most rivers in these parts are just a trickle, the North Platte was high, wide and flowing. Any disc finding it's way into the river is a goner.
The tee pads are long and narrow measuring at 3' x 10'. I thought they were very functional as not much run-up is needed here, anyway. The tee signs are the old school fiberglass models. I'm not a fan of these because they always get destroyed by the vandals. The baskets are the standard silver DGA models.
With an average hole length of under 300' (according to legendary reviewer DGtourist) the course plays at a recreational level. There are no holes here to get overly excited about. I think the river and extremel rough could come into play with scattered teens firing wild forehands all over the place.
The course has some safety issues but only if there is ever anyone here. I played early in the morning and had the course to myself. The small skate park is right in the center of the course and it could come into play on a couple of holes. # 9 plays right the skate area. Players would have to be aware of people in the numerous picnic shelters.
Cons:
As the trees have grown up, a couple of holes have you throwing blindly off the tee.
Both sides of the course would be a magnet for discs if this course gets any play.
Narrow tee pads annoy some players, but not me.
Lack of creative, challenging holes but in this skinny
little park, I think the designers have created a solid rec course. No complaints from me.
Other Thoughts:
I don't know if Guersney is on the way to anywhere? I just drove through to hit up this course on my cross country road trip.
It's not just a typical little 9 hole recreation course. The slimness of the park makes it unique and different from your typical city park 9 hole course.
