Other Thoughts:
If you stop when the park is empty it is fun enough. The picnic tables and pavillion make for some interesting obstacles. Not worth a special trip but if you are in Shawnee for another reason, play a quick round. If somebody else is there using the park, be very careful. At least Shawnee has a course with actual signs, tee areas, and real baskets.
If the rating was based only on safety, this course would be my first Zero.
My "disc rating" is weighted heavily to fun factor which this course has a little of.
