DIssenting Feels At Hennings Field

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 22, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ The distances are brief to encourage the beginner.
+ The baskets are numbered.
+ There are nine playable holes, but...

Cons:

- ... It's underwhelmingly simple, mostly flat and open.
- No tee signs of any kind.
- No navigation signs.
- The tees are just dirt or gravel.

Other Thoughts:

At least this course is better than its extinct predecessor that used to be on the other side of the park. There are nine tees, nine fairways and nine baskets. It's just a shame that Hennings Field at Windlestrae Park doesn't see much variation in its holes.

Things gets somewhat woodsy at hole5. That one was my favorite to play because it has the player work around a bend with trees on both sides. It is the most challenging fairway here. Hole6 is kind of similar, except with a much wider tunnel and no curve. Other than those two, the course is wide open.

I liked looking at hole4 because the player can see most of the course from the top of that modest hill. Plus, I was there in mid-autumn, which meant that I enjoyed some color-changing leaves. As for the elevation, there are some noticeable changes up or down, yet they don't really sell the course to experienced players. If you're new to the sport, it might be a different story, but this collection of nine doesn't really shine as a good example of disc golf. The infrastructure is severely lacking, too. Tees are just gravel, and there is no signage.

It's a fine place to go for course baggers or beginners looking for a low-pressure round. As a practice course, it does the trick, but play somewhere else if you are seeking to throw satisfying gliders or dodge trees. It's not even a good course for getting lost in the woods anymore.
