Personal Favorite 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great course design. Holes range from 180 to 550ft, and require hyzer, anny, tunnel, hyper bomb, uphill, downhill and skip shots to score well. I like that there are a couple par 4s and a 5 (pro pars). I personally like some par variance rather than the "understood" par 3 that most courses have regardless of difficulty and distance. I actually kind of like the "water hazards" that are on hole 8-10. They are just leftover water from the flood, but they have added a fun element to the holes. Wind is a factor, but not so much that it is frustrating. The course is very easy to navigate, just make sure you don't skip holes 9-11. Also, the tees are huge and the baskets are in pretty decent shape.

Cons:

Recent floods have tore this place up. The signage is almost all destroyed, so look at the hole info here before going the first time. Trash is everywhere because of a lack of garbage cans through the course. Broken bottles can be seen near some baskets so be careful. This course just needs a little love right now and it can be beautiful again. Course is very busy in the evening. It is great seeing families out playing, but it can be frustrating since newbies don't understand golf etiquette. Go in the morning or early afternoon for the best golfing.

Other Thoughts:

Worth a 4 for the area, 3.5 compared to elsewhere. Because of current conditions, solid 3.5. This course is on the easy side, but it is still fun to play because you will get to use your entire bag to throw different shots. Worth your time!

Woodlawn Park Rundown!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 1, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Great Signage (shows pin loc., directions to next tee, trees, distance)
-Large concrete pads
-Terrain (open, treed, slight elevation changes)
-Easy to locate
-Nice parking
-Hole length variety...both short and long
-Even with some signs missing, I was still able to locate, with ease, the next box...nice flow.

Cons:

-Sits on a small flood plane next to the N. Red River....so my guess is that it stays pretty squishy.
-Some pad signs are not there and others have been muddied up pretty good, more than likely because of flooding and being under H20.
-Not the most difficult course
-Fairly flat, for the most part. Wind could be a big factor.
-If it's sunny out, you'll need sunscreen

Other Thoughts:

Other than the normal irritations of the average disc golf game, this is a really good course. Was told by locals that it was the better course in the area and I could see why.
Has a really nice flow to it with shots ranging anywhere from around 150 ft. to 540 ft. Worth your time to go to this course (traveled 1.5 hours myself), being that there are others in the area as well.

2 thumbs up from me. You won't be disappointed.

Best in Area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 19, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Long Concrete Tees
Good Variety of Holes
Hole information at most tees

Cons:

Lots of Course Traffic
Needs more Trash Cans

Other Thoughts:

This is my favorite course in the area. Most of the tees have distance information on them. There is a bit of river sludge due to flooding every year, but that's the only water hazard. Trees make for a good challenge, but make birdie-ing some of the later holes very difficult.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good course layout, it's very easy to find your way around. Wide open shots on most holes, with some that have a bit more trees. Only holes 1, 2, 9, 10, 15, and 18 have any sort of elevation change, the rest are as flat as can be.

Cons:

I have yet to play this course when it wasn't windy. Also, in the middle of the course, there are some low spots so holes 8, 9, and 10 are always muddy and wet. Also, on hole 12, they cut down a tree that made the hole fun and challenging and on 16 they removed a downed tree which had the same effect.
