Nice Small Town Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 17, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

~ Very Clean Park
~ Scorecards and Maps available at Rec Center
~ Nice DGA Baskets
~ Multiple Tees
~ Nice use of available trees and terrain
~ Nice variety of shots
~ Park offers many activities other than Disc Golf
~ Disc for rent and purchase (When Rec Center is Open)

Cons:

~ Distances on Tee Signs are a bit off
~ Scorecards and Maps available at Rec Center (only available when Rec Center is Open, a course map at hole 1 would be nice)
~ No trash cans or benches (however many are located a few feet away at other park facilities)
~ Course uses walking trail for the tees, very creative, but could cause issues if the trail is heavily used.
~ Lots of other activates in the park which could slow down a round, however very few are in play so safety, other than the walking path, is not a concern.
~ No Elevation - Not a major con as you have to work with what you're given

Other Thoughts:

The course is in a relaxed park setting offering mix of long and short. The park also houses the local Rec Center, with hole 1 teeing off by the entrance; the Rec Center has maps and scorecards and also rents and sells a few discs. A family could spend an afternoon at the park playing DG, grilling, playing on the play equipment and other sports fields. The course offers enough challenge for an enjoyable round by the advanced golfer, however it is evident the course is designed with the beginner in mind. The tees are squares painted on the walking trail that encircles the park. There are 3 tees marked in red, white, and blue. Most of the tees only lengthen the holes; however a few of them give you a totally different look. This creative use of the walking trail makes finding the next tee very easy as you simply fallow the path. The course was empty when I played it, however on a busy day disc golf could interfere with other activities like the walking trail and possibly a soccer game (although far enough away that it typically will not come into play). Overall this is a great course for a small town where anyone can learn to play and progress their game to an advanced level. I gave this course a 3 due to the fact that it is great course for its intended audience, very few courses designed for beginners allow the advanced player to have an enjoyable round.
