Nice 10-Hole course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 28, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is very well laid out; it uses the park well. Several baskets are protected by water, trees, and/or road, which must be OB. There are some elevation changes and a good variety of distances for the holes, though only 2 holes had distances marked at the tee. After playing both, I prefer this one to Cal Young, though it is only 9 holes. (UPDATE: The course has been greatly improved with both long and short concrete tee pads on every hole with distances marked.)

Cons:

Having baskets near the road adds difficulty for some holes, which I like, but there were several times when I needed to wait for cars to move through before I threw. On hole 8 I would be concerned that a car could come into view after the disc was released and be hit by a drive that flew past the basket. Several of the tees were totally unmarked. I had to get help finding the tee for hole one. I found the tees for holes 5, 6, 7, and 9 by wandering in the general direction where I thought they might be. There are short boards in the ground at the front center tee-off position. (This problem has been remedied. The new concrete tee pads are nice and make the course easy to navigate.)

Other Thoughts:

The layout of this course is very nice. The two baskets reported missing on the PDGA directory have been replaced with Discatchers, which are new and great.If it were well marked, I would give it a higher rating. Say "hello" to the dedicated watch dogs in the yard next to the tee for hole 4. They will introduce themselves when you get into the area.
