Great Par 3 Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It is a short par 3 course but challenges you with the elevation changes and trees. It's great for beginners and makes for a fun course with a family.

Cons:

Lots of people walking through the course. It is a little bit slower due to the amount of people that play it but that shouldn't hold you pack for giving it a go!

Other Thoughts:

Really fun course and great for those that don't want to spend hours playing but has the option to play 18 for those who really want to make a trip out of it.

Must see Woodmansee 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Wooded city park with a masterful layout using only 25 or so acres. This technical short courses features 18 tee-pads to 9 baskets. NOT AM. and PRO. tees but front 9 and back 9 due to the distinctively different lines to the basket from both tee-pads. If played in order designed, the front 9 is all the tee-pads on the LEFT, and back 9 tee-pads on the RIGHT. Some walkout signs are in place to guide your way around now and course is due to be finished by July 9th 2011. Tee-sighns, walkout signs, Tee-pads, kiosk map and all! At Woodmansee you must focus on aim and find the lines. Many optical illusions that make you see other routes from the pin looking back to the tee egging you on to try it another way. A city park with a challenge to get under par for most.

Cons:

Trafic! Be cautious of other park patrons and remember to yell FORE! Mud in the winter months, not enough hours in the day to play.

Other Thoughts:

Local club (Capital City Disc Golf) has worked hard to make this course the best in the area to introduce people to disc golf. CCDG also hosts mixed format events there using the 9 hole loop. CCDG's GLOW events there are great cause the park is open till midnight and it gets DARK there!

Epic Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 18, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice technical course with some distance towards and @ the end. Hole #3 is played off of the pad that is up the hill from #2 basket(north) and is changed periodically from a fairly strait shot to a dog leg to the left. Hole #6 is potentially a disc eater, I personally throw strait through to the clearing and usually end up with a good lie...............good enough for birdie :p

Cons:

I had a very hard time reading the course a few years back so I would recommend taking a friend who knows the course or getting a map of the course before hand. Personally I would like to see some better use of the area and make some more holes but other than that I do not see anything to improve.

Definitely nice for a quick 9 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 28, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Fun 9 hole course with a fair amount of diversity. Lots of tight wooded shots with some open. It also has a bunch of reachable blind shots (which are always fun). The course should help players improve many aspects of their game

Cons:

No tee pads, though I'm sure they'll be going in soon enough. Blackberries. Oh, and #6 is pretty rough :).

Other Thoughts:

I gave this a 4 because of what it will be in a year and a half...... It's also a good compliment to Salems other course at Cascade Gateway Park.
