Not Spectacular But Just A Solid Throw! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is just one of those solid, not thrilling type of course. Everything about is decent. The signage is OK. The tee pads are concrete and decent sized. It has these older baskets but they catch fine. The park is mostly flat with some scattered trees. It's long enough to provide challenge for most rec players with three holes playing over 300'. Not a bad place to throw a few rollers. I understand the baskets get changed often enough to keep things interesting. The swampy water hazard on # 8 was fun even though it was mostly dried up in mid-summer. It's only 200' and you could easily throw around it but it provides the most excitement on this course. Would probably provide the pucker factor during other seasons.
The listed pars on the signs are for beginners or junior high aged players. Like # 9's 363 ft. Par 5. This makes for some eagle opportunities if you care to follow the listed Pars.

Cons:

I understand the course can get busy at times with gatherings and especially soccer/football practices.
It's flat and mostly open throws.
Not much challenge for better players.

Other Thoughts:

Because it sits right next to a Jr. Hi. School, I was pleasantly surprised with how clean and graffiti free the course was. Junior High age kids love to be destructive and disc golf courses are often likely targets.
West is a nice little course for beginners, offers just enough challenge for most players and along with Lake Lowell and the College Of Western Idaho 9 certainly provides Nampa recreational players with plenty of options.

Not bad in Nampa 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 28, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

• Multiple basket placements increase challenge and keep it fresh.
• 2 water hazard shots that are scary good.
• Fairly easy course to post a low score.

Cons:

• Only 9 holes.
• No elevation.
• Could use some more trees.
• Park is crowded at times and has a walking path that splits the course, so watch for peds.
• Be accurate or use a floater on #2 and #8. The pond is pretty nasty looking, so you don't want to be wading around in it.
• I wish it had at least 1 long par 4 or 5.

Other Thoughts:

This course is close to a relative's house, so I get to play often. It's a fun little 9-hole that will bore a pro or someone used to championship level courses. As I mentioned in the "Pros" above, the multiple basket placements really help this course and boosted my review rating. #2 is tricky because you can't over shoot your drive or you're in the pond. You can play it safe and lay up short, but it will be much harder to make birdie. #8 is even more challenging because even though it's only about 200', you have to tee over the pond and land in a pretty tight spot for your birdie. I really like playing this one at night with my glow discs. I never have to share the course at night.
