Pros:
- Wide variety of shots allows you to use a wide variety of discs in your bag.
- Challenging enough for advanced players, but not frustrating for new/novice players.
- Great use of land, elevation, woods, obstacles and water hazards (small pond comes into play on two holes).
- Well laid out front & back nine. You could play the entire course, or pick the front or back only... either way you'll start and finish relatively close to where you parked.
- Parking for course is secluded from other lots in the park.
- While the park offers various activities for the community, the course is free from non-disc golfers. No playgrounds, parking areas, or walking trails (for the most part) to worry about.
- High level of replayability (if that's even a word).
- Park is open from dusk till dawn. As long as there's light enough to play, you can play.
- Only course in the surrounding area. Very thankful that a course was installed in this park.
- Course is well maintained and has a "woodsy" feel to it even though you're not really in the woods.
Cons:
- Holes #14-16 feel repetitive throwing across a field a few times. Elevation is a factor for these, but they still feel very similar especially one right after another.
- Very windy on a consistent basis. No real fault of the course, it's just a very windy park. You'll be forced to change shots and/or disc selections on some holes because of the wind. It gets old quick, and makes putting kinda frustrating. I've played the course a dozen or so times, and it's been windy every time. Not enough to ruin the experience, but enough to add a slight to significant challenge.
- No practice basket (yet).
- Natural tees (for now... word is concrete tees are coming in 2016).
- Not much signage (for now... again, it's a new course so I'm sure signage is in the making).
- Stumps that were recently cut on the wooded holes are 6-12" inches high. Not very safe, especially when the leaves are on the ground keeping them hidden. Walk with caution.
Other Thoughts:
At this point the course is new so I'm sure there will be tweaks as it evolves and matures. As it is, it's a fantastic course with great potential and huge fun factor. Some courses you're pretty much ready to head out once you finish it, but, for some reason, you want to play it again (especially after your first round) and try out some different lines and discs.
Once concrete pads are installed and better signage is put in I'll be bumping this up to a 4 disc rating.
Have fun and happy discing!
