Excellent pit stop for a road trip 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

-All tees are concrete pavers that are nice and high quality. (Actually, hole 1 is grass, but that is fine I think)
-Tee signs are nice, they give hole map, par, distance, and hole number.
-baskets are blue, and stand out pretty well.
-Fairways are typical of a park course, mowed grass, with some trees and walking paths. Watch out for pedestrians, there are a lot.
-Not much elevation to speak of, except for hole 9, where there is a bit of a hill and it is nice.
-On a course where trees are pretty much the only obstacle, they are used well. I get that on a lot of courses trees are the main obstacle, but at this course, it is trees and nothing else, for the most part. The trees are nicely used.
-Paths from hole to hole aren't present, but you can really just use the walking paths, which are great.
-Well used Mandos, makes the park safer, while keeping the course interesting.

Cons:

-Baskets are similar to Mach II, which I am definitely not a fan of.
-Navigation is hard without a map, the course flows well, but some holes are really close to each other, and there are some confusions there.
-No water in play, there is a creek nearby that would have been fun to play along.
-No benches
-Holes 1 and 3, and a little bit 9, play really close to a road, this is a little nerve wracking, there is just grass, curb and then road, and the basket is maybe 10 feet away form the edge. you really have to get the distance right on 3 and 9 so you don't go long.
-Some fairways come really close to intersecting, which could make things difficult if there was a lot of people.

Other Thoughts:

Good Course! I played it on a mini road trip to Kennewick, it was a worthy stop for a quick leg stretch, this is a quick play, only about 30 minutes when I was in no particular hurry.

Yakima Course Challenges You With A Variety Of Holes! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 1, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Randall Park is a fairly large green park with just enough of a rolling terrain and enough mature trees to make the course interesting and challenging.

Although it's only a nine hole course, the holes are long enough and tight enough in places to make your work for birdies and pars but still open enough for families and beginners to enjoy the course also.

The baskets are brand new and blue. The tee signs are simple with the hole #, distance and par. The pads are gravel and rough. They're probably the weakest link in the course to date.

Seven of the holes play in the lovely grassy area of the park while #'s 6 & 7 are over the fence by the creek in the undeveloped part of the park (Where the snakes and the bees roam). More on this wildlife later. 6-7 are much tighter than the green grassy park holes and feature more danger with the creek and very thick nasty disc eating rough to contend with.

Several holes feature low tunnels perfect for throwing your rollers (1, 3 and 8). # 9 finishes with a fun little hyser ACE run. And this also completes the loop back to the start of the course and the parking lot.

Cons:

The gravel tee pads will always be rough and uneven. I'd love to see them replaced with patio blocks or concrete.

Previous reviewer scubasteve509 encountered snakes on the wilds of 6 and 7 while I stepped on a bees nest while looking for my local guide, Casey's disc. I got stung 11 times and was pretty miserable for a few days. Be careful in there!

Besides the snakes and bees, 6 & 7 are tight and probably not going to be that much fun for someone who can't pinpoint their throws.

Other Thoughts:

This is a very nice little nine hole course. it's green and pretty and somewhat shaded here in sunny Yakima. There's places to air it out. There's holes to roll on. There are ACE possibilities. There are the two tight technical holes with danger. And with all that, it's still a pretty good course to bring a newbie although I might advise having them skip 6 & 7. The nasty rough, creek and overall hostile environment over there might merit skipping those two holes.

Snakes on a Course!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 1, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Love it, great open fairways and overhead trees/branches add a great level of difficulty.

Cons:

Snakes run rampant on holes 4, 6, and 7. Seriously bad on 6 and 7. Won't take my kid or dog on those anymore :-(

Other Thoughts:

Add 9 more and why don't we have s par 4/ .across the big field?!?!?!

Good beginner course with a few technical shots. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 18, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good beginner course. Good technical shots and nice open flat shots.

Cons:

You can lose discs in the marsh on holes. 4, 6 and 7. You need to wait for people walking around in the park.

Other Thoughts:

Very nice baskets! A really nice park in Yakima! Can't wait for it to expand to a 18 hole course.
