Pros:

Course is phenomenal. In excellent condition, has practice driving range, as long as multiple practice pins. Course navigation is easy and everyhole is well thought out.

Cons:

I really don't have any! Only thing is they might have enough room to make it 18, which would be awesome. However the 9 they have now is incredible.

Other Thoughts:

This is my favorite 9 hole I've ever played. It looks like they have set up some alternate holes for league or other play. Wish it was 18 but great course for a quick fun 9 holes

Short and Sweet 9 holer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 31, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A real jewel of a short 9 hole course. Great place for practicing your control game. If you are used to playing from the Am tees on longer courses, the distances here will feel just right. Very well maintained park facilities provided by city of Lacey. Ample paved parking, clean restrooms, etc. Near to city of Lacey's urban center - makes it very easy to do 9 or even 18 holes on lunch hours during the week - I play at midday every day Monday through Friday. Aside from hole #1 when it's in the long position, big arms are not required to par this course. The course planners did a really great job of cramming 9 fun holes into a very small space. The densely wooded rough along both sides of most holes really belies the fact that opposing fairways are literally just a few meters apart. Course is bounded on one side by protected wetland, lots of wildlife to enjoy with squirrels, rabbits, just to name a few.

Cons:

If you crave long courses to flex your big arms, you might not like it here, it's short and tight. The constraining space that made the planners be so creative with their hole layout is also the thing that seems to preclude any more development of this course. The addition of multiple tee pads at different angles of approach to the pin is what makes many a 9 hole course play like 18, but I don't see how this would be possible here, everything is already maxed out. And as I said before, the tee pads are already set at what I consider to be Amature length, so just adding shorter distance teepads as many long courses have would not make much sense here either.

Other Thoughts:

Very clean course - almost no litter to speak of. Major Kudos to local players who pick up after themselves and pack out the occasional found piece of garbage. I frequently play this course with nothing more than an Aviar Putt & Approach and a marker disc. Park is multi-use, please be aware and courteous of people other than disc golfers who are just out for a walk in the park, whether it be stay at home moms with strollers and toddlers or retirees walking their dogs on the wooded trails that some of the holes crisscross.
P.S. - In lieu of alternate tee pads, it would be awesome if an additional 9 baskets were permanently placed at the alternate pin locations, then this short 9 holer could play like a short 18.

Fun little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 6, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The driving range is super sweet as well as the dual pratice baskets. Since I play Shelton Springs mostly it was fun for me throw slower speed discs to work on my approach game.

Now that the tee panda are all concrete I really see a great future for this course. And look forward in playing in the Woodland Creek Classic here soon

Cons:

I wish it was an 18 hole course and had better tee signs. It does look like new signs are in the plans one other thing that would work is to make pro and am tee pads. Besides that I really did enjoy the course today.
